Do not think of giving up the pro-
fession you love because a few peo--
pie tell you of your beauty. Don't
let it turn your head, which it Is
apt to do If you pay much atten-
ton to these remarks. You may be
pretty, but what is of greater i'm
portance is whether you are q
faithful. conscientious nurse. Do not
adopt the role Of anyone, but be
your original self. and when remarks
are made concerning your looks
show that you do not care for this
sort of thing. In time, those guilty
OF trying to make you dissatisfied
with nursing because you happen to
be good looking will respect your
feelings. Forget your looks, and do
not worry.
Dear Mrs. Thompson-l am girl
is years Of age and have been go
with a boy who was interested in
another girl before he started going
with me. The girl told me they were
engaged, but he told me he thought
as much of me as he did of her. MY
friends advised me to let him go,
so we quit. Now he has gone back to
the other girl. Do you think he
cares for either Of US and did ! do
right in letting him go with me?
Now have another boy friend who
wanted to call on me while was
going with this other boy. How can
get him to come? Will kissing the
boys cause them to have less re-
spect for your MORRISON.
This boy is like the busy bee. He
gathers honey all the day from all the
lovely flowers He is also what you
would call flirt, so you are better
off without his attentions; There is
nothing to do about getting the other
boy to call. You are too young to
be going with boys. so don't let it
worry you If you don't have a beau
for two whole years. Yes.

hest flesh -reducers and wrinkle
makers known. Lack of space in

Il years old. Do. you think a girl
Of my age should wear socks? What

hose and your dress is long enough

There are several good corn cures
