Here comes another girl for advice.
| I will be IA in March. Am I old
enough to write to the boys? I am
mighty large for my age. I was 60
ing with boy and was writing to
another boy, too. He found it out
and got mad. I spoke to him, but
he wouldn't speak Now he wants
to go with me. What can I do
Is it right for boy to call a
girl sister? And ask how old she
| is?
Am I too young to wear my hair
in puffs? How can I fix it, as my
hair is so short?
What does a boy mean when he
winks at girl? If a girl asks a
boy three or four times for his pic
ture and he doesn't say anything,
what should she do? Please don't
think L have marriage in my head,
for 1 have not.
Do I write good?
| Please answer all my questions
through The Journal.

| BABY BROWN EYES"
| At your age boys and girls get
| angry and make up, at intervals,
SO 1t doesn't mean anything. If
you like the boy well enough, for
| give his little jealousies, and let
him be on friendly terms. There
| is no harm in boy calling you
sister. And you aren't old enough
yet to be ashamed of your age
The young girls in society up to
| IL are wearing bobbed hair,
combed out bushy in the back.
| But If one has nice, soft, long
hair, it would be a pity to cut it
off. Pay no attention to the
silly, for it really is silly thing
to indulge in. You shouldn't ask
boys for their pictures, it might
embarrass them. If they want
! you to have their photograph
they will hand it over with
| pleasure.
| Your handwriting is very good.
Dear Mrs. Meredith: 1 am coming
to you for advice. 1 am just crazy
about a boy only seventeen He is
as nice as can be. L think every
body likes him and speaks well of
him. He lives not so very far from
me. He has a sister that l think
lots of and L think she likes me-. L
went to prayer meeting the other
night and he didn't even speak to me,
and l don't know what was the mat
ter with him. L know l have not
| uOu0 dHy lHluS 70 MAKE him not speak
to me. What should l do about it?
And how can l make him love me?
| Sometimes he acts like the loves me
| and then again he acts like he doesn't
| care anything about me- L think he
| loves me, but he just doesn't want to
| show it. 1 don't know whether he
cares anything about any other girls
or not; he never has said. But l just
dearly love him. Thanking you for
| your advice. CURLY LOCKS.
The troubles with you, you
have let that boy see how crazy"
you are about him. You have
been in his path every time he
landed on the sidewalk; he has
seen you, everywhere, at times
when he wished you were at the
north pole. Do you know that is
the surest way in the world to
make a man deSpise a woman,
or the male the female? Do not
let him see you so often; keep
out of his way. Don't tell anyone
how crazy you are about him.
Treat him pleasantly and refrain
from questioning him when you
do see him. Talk about pleasant
things. and then he will take a
real sidelong glance at you and
realize that you are attractive,
after all. Let him be the hunter
in the chase.
