MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

I am coming to you for advice. But
not about love. 1 will describe my
self so you can imagine how I look:
I am IA years old, light brownish
hair, grizzly blue eyes, weigh 11S
pounds, 81 inches tall and real slen-
der. My neck and face is so long
and slim. What can I do to make my
neck look shorter and to hide the
bones that are so large. Right on
the back of my neck the bone comes
out too far. How can I avoid that?
And how should I dress my hair?
Straight back or pomped over the
forehead? Won't you please tell me
what remedy will remove black
heads and pimples mad hair on
your face? The hair has grown
too far down on the back of
my neck and down the sides of my
face, very ugly. Won't you please
tell me what will remove it? And
plump? Do I weigh enough for m!
height? And how long must 1 weal
my dresses? How long should
heavy coat be below my knees and
what will make my finger nails thin
ner, as they are rough and thick and
so large for my fingers? Am I too
large to wear curls or let my hair
go down? Am I old enough to have
boy friends? The boys do not care
anything about me yet. I guess I am
too young. What do you think is
the reason? Please answer all quos-
tions. Hoping you the greatest of
luck and success and thanking you
kindly for advising a
LONELY BLUE-EYED GIRL.
Wear your hair low on the
back of your neck, curls if you
want to, or tied back. It doesn't
matter what the style of hair
dressing may be, always wear
your hair the way it is more be-
coming to your face. You will
fill out as you grow older, and
the bones will be somewhat hid
den and hollows rounded out.
Grease the finger nails in vase
line at night on retiring and
file them several times each
week. Care and attention will
help them wonderfully. To rid
your face of blackheads, you
must keep the face clean, use a
good soap. CASTLE or glycerine
soap is good. Warm water and
an absolutely clean wash cloth
Lather the face we'll with soap
and rinse off in several waters
to remove the SOAP Lastly cold
water. Do not pick the face, but
| be sure that the skin is kept per-
fectly clean. Avoid powder or
face creams until the face heals,
then pure cold cream rubbed
we'll into face at night and re-
! moved with warm water and
| lastly cold, in the m orning, will
benefit you.
| vice. I am a girl of sixteen. Am
old enough to go with the boys? 1
am in love with a boy about nine
| teen years old I have been with
| him but once and he seemed to en-
| joy my company. He hasn't been to
see me since went with him. 1
have seen him once or twice. He
writes to me about once every two
weeks. Helives about twelve miles
cares anything for me? Please tell
me how 1 can win his love. Give
me your best advice. Hoping. to see
| this in print.
CRoSs-EYED.
There isn't. any set method
about winning a boys love. Just
your natural self, and wait fur
Their developments. You have
plenty of time for love in the
future, so why worry about it
now. You are old enough to
have few boy friends.
Will you please give me little
advice? Where is there a good college
or school I can take a course in do
nestle science? 1 prefer one in
! Georgia. How must 1 entertain a
boy friend at home and is it proper
to have your friend call once in a
while when you have sick ones at
! homes?
Thanking you very much for your
advice. Please print in Atlanta
Journal.
