Do you think I am old enough to

we have crowds of boys and girls
to come to our house. There was
a crowd of girls and boys at our
house one night and an old gray

ROSEBUD.
Powder is all right to use on
the face if not caked on; it will
protect the sensitive skin from the
light and sun. Rouge is a poor
and every one nearly can tell it
when it is used on the face.
You can have good complexion
by keeping the face clean, free
from dirt, and the skin can be
kept in good condition by the
use of any good cold cream. See
to your general health. When
you do this your face will show
improvement. l am not permit
ted to give you the brand of any
special cold cream through The
Journal. 1t doesn't matter
whether the person is young or
old, ugly or handsome, good or
treat them politely when they
are in your home. Compliments
needn't always be taken serious
ly. And it is bad form to pass
them to ones face. And If such
is the case, you may say thank
you" or turn the personal re-
mark in to other channels.

whom 1 love and never loved any
one else. We broke up for while,
but asked his pardon, as it was
my fault. While we were on the

have been true to him, but he hasn't
in one little respect to me. We

you go with others or would you go

your advice. Yours truly.

sense Of your letter, 1t seems,
If you are in love with a man
and you feel he no longer cares
for you, pride should forbade
your worrying over him. Try to
overcome your regard for him.
1t isn't necessary to go away to
another town in order to rid
yourself of him. You can fight
your own battle right there. He
will soon see that you have
spunk and determination to for
get him. AS you say you aren't
a "fooP' about men, try this
plan and I am sure you will get
good results.
Here are two lonely girls coming
to you for advice. We are not sis
ters, but are the best Of friends.
Do you think it all right for a girl
to go on the stage dressed as boy?
We are both in the, eighth grade
q n6 aOo6 fhirfapn and f01Jrfnnn and
are rather large for our age. Do
you think we are too young to go
with nice boys to parties or picntcs?
We know that we are too young. yet
Blue-eyed IA was going with the un;;
Gle of brown-eyed IA; brown-eyed
was a dear friend to blue |
eyed las brother. They both seem
to love another girl now. We both |
loved them dearly. What shall we
be happy If not. Thank you for ad-
vice.

While there is no actual harm
going upon the stage dressed as
boy, yet if you feel that you
would be conspicuous, don't do
it. Modesty is a great asset,
quire it, If they. haven't it al
young to be talking much on the
subject of love, and by the time
you are old enough to know its
real meaning, the knowledge will
have come to you to manage
your own love affairs" perhaps
without any help from me.
