of girls come. 1 want some real
advice, not relating to boys either.
Can you tell me what causes the
hair to split at the ends? And is
there any cure for it and what is it?
What causes oily hair? And if there
is a remedy? Please tell me. What
causes black head pimples and what
will take them off? Thanking you
for your advice. Sincerely
MODESTY.
Modesty: The cause of hair
splitting at the ends, is dryness,
lack of nourishment. Oily hair
is caused by weakened hair
glands or ducts, and nervousness.
1 have a recipe a subscriber sent
to me few days ago, saying that
it would make the hair grow and
it seems to be all-round good for
the hair. You can try it if you
wish. One teaspoonful sulpher
and pure hog lard (not cotolene)
enough to make a paste. Rub
the scalp thoroughly and let it
stay on four hours. Then wash
off with rainWater. Be sure
and use hog-lard and rainWater,
or else, you will not get results.
Subscriber guarantees this to
improve the scalp and grow
healthy hair. Use once or twice
a month. For bumpy complexion
and black heads, cleanse the face
first with good cold cream,
then scrub well with pure castle
soap, using the finger tips to
freely in water hot enough to
stand on the face, SO as to dis
solve the soap and grease. Then
finally cold or iced water, used
freely. That closes the pores.
Do not use creams or powders
of any sort until the face heals:
In meantime to be careful of
of poisonous matter, drink plen-
ty of water. And if what I have
told you won't improve your
looks, nothing will.
I am twenty years Of age and go
with a man of thirty-seven. When
our acquaintance first began I did
not like him. He was very nice and
good to me and I finally grew to like
him, from liking to what 1 thought
and proposed. I accepted. For the
last six months I have found I did
not love him and have told him so,
but he begs me to marry him, say
ing he will win my love back. But
I don't feel that way. I don't want
l have tried to loye him again and
cannot. Please tell me what to do
Eleven o'clock is my retiring time.
When a young man calls and speaks
of leaving at ten, must 1 ask him
to stay longer, or tell him he might
do so? If he only says goodnight.
must 1 tell him I have enjoyed his
company? When 1 receive note
asking for a date to call and they do
not mention the time, must I write
them the time to call?
Thanking you in advance, I am,
Your friend,
PEGGIE.
Peggie: You never really loved
the young man; you just felt i'm
pressed by his love for you. For
if you had you would not have
been so changeable. | would not
marry him if 1 were you unless
you are positive you can love
him. If you do not now, I do not
think you ever will. Do not make
your life and his unhappy, unless
you love him, because it takes
lot of love to sail through life's
sea of matrimony together. Life
is not hard to bear when trials
come, when you love each other.
If a young man wants to leave at
ten, do not urge him to stay;
he may need rest, or have many
things to do, which he doesn't
feel concerns you. When you re-
ceive a note asking to call to see
you, answer it and say what
evenings you are free to have his
company, and if it is agreeable
you will expect him on that date.

Four months is not long
enough to find out about
man. I wouldn't be too
hasty if were you. At the same
time I wouldn't give him up just
because others dislike him. Just
be quiet and say nothing at all
about the young man to your
family, but try to. find out the
real cause of their dislike for
him. They may have a very
good reason that you do not
know. I would wait at least six
months longer, and if you still
care for him and he is a gentle
man and you are positive he is
decent morally and honest, then
marry him. But go a little slow
just now, keep your thoughts to
yourself land see what is the real
cause of your family's dislike.
Perhaps your mother thinks you
are too young to marry any
one. Live as peaceably a. home
