Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
We are three girls, 16 and II years
of age. Will YOU please tell us If 1t
is improper for boy to place his
arm about girl when riding in a
boys expect 1t. Also, what dances
are considered disgraceful?
CHUMs.
P. S.-If possible, we would like
to have this published in the Satur-
day Bee.
Yes, it is most improper. The girls
that allow it and the boys that ex-
pect it are not the kind you should
care to initiate, are they? Be natural
and friendly, but keep your girlish
innocence and purity. Your own in
stincts of modesty and propriety will
tell you, I'm sure, which dances are
| "disgraceful."

] Uncertain Affection.
Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee:
have read your good advice to 9TH
ers and am coming to you for ad-
vice. [ am young girl of 10 and
am going with a young boy in a
different town. He seems to love
me very much when he is with me,
and also writes very nicely. When
he was here to see me the last time
he went to the movies by himself a
| couple Of times. Now, Miss Fair.
| fax, do you think he is getting tired
of me and wants me to become
peeved and cause some trouble be-
tween us two? How is my gram.
mar and penmanship?
Hoping to see this in print and
thanking you for any consideration,
you may give this. WORRIED.
! Worried: If the young man con-
tinues to takes his pleasures with
out including you, it may be sign
that his affection is cooling. In the
| meantime don't let him see that you
| feel any concern about losing him.
| Be friendly as usual. Associate with
other young people. A little show
of spirit and independence will win
his admiration where "becomng
peeved" would surely drive him
| away. Your penmanship is fair. You
make some grammatical mistakes.
| As to Height and Weight
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
am 16 years old and am very tall
and slender. I am five feet six inches
in height and only weigh 96 pounds.
The other girls call me Skinny" and
are always making fun of me. What
can / do to get fat? Will 1 grow
any taller? Do women ever grow
six feet tall?
Even my brothers and sisters
make fun of me. Which girls are
the most popular, tall or short ones
/ guess you will think I'm silly
but I am teased so much that some
times l go away by myself and cry
MYRTLE.
| You are a good height for a girl
No doubt YOU will become heavier as
you grow older. Nature has been
lengthening you out; later 1t viii
broaden you. Yes, there are wome er
six feet tall, but they are quite un
usual and the probability Is you
will not reach that height, though
you may grow some yet. Your broth
ers and sisters ought to be consider
ate of your feelings. On the Other
hand, you should not be sensitive
about being slender. Just laugh a,
them when they try to tease you anc
they will soon stop it. A healthfu
diet, with plenty Of good milk, will
do as much as anything to increase
your weight.

isn't worth having.
