MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

Here comes lonely girl for your
good advice. There is boy that
have been going with four years. I
love him dearly and he says he loves
me. Sometimes think that he loves
me and at other times I don't. He
will come where I am and won't
speak to me, and then again he acts
like he is proud to see me. Do you
think he cares anything for me? My
father don't allow him to call at
home. Do you think that is the rea-
son for his doing as he does? There
and he is just crazy about me, but
he has been married and Is divorced
now. Do you think there is any
harm in my marrying him? He has
proposed and we are to be married
in few months, so any advice from
you would be appreciated. Answer
through The Journal.
WORRIED KID.
You say you love one boy
dearly and yet you write you
care for another, who is a di-
vorced man well enough to mar
ry him. If so, my advice to you
is this, "Why worry over the boy
who loves you and yet Snubs
you? Pass him by" If he
treats you in such an ungentle-
manly manner, he doesn't seem
to care much for you. Marrying
the divorced man may be all
right; it depends on what he is
made of. If he weren't to blame
for his divorce, perhaps he will
make you a good husband.
I am coming to you for advice.
am a girl fifteen. Am in.love with
a boy twenty-five and he says he
loves me dearly, and 1 am sure
love him. Do you think he is too
old for me? Do you think I am
too young to go with the boys? And
do YOU think 1 am too young to
wear ear puffs? All the girls around
here wear ear puffs. I have black
hair and black eyes, and ruby lips.
am five feet and weigh l25. L nope

issue of The Journal.
BLACK EYES.
I do not think girl fifteen
wears of age too young to have
young men friends, but at the
same time she shouldn't get IT
into her head that every boy she
meets and who flatters her wants
to marry her. I do not think the
young man twenty-five years old
is too old for you. Ear puffs are
all right provided they are not
done UP in extreme. You are too
young for them.
Please tell me what will thicker
hair. Every time l comb it, 1t just
falls out. And what will make the
bust smaller? WINTER.
Your hair may be falling out
on account of your general con-
dition. Perhaps your system
needs building up. Acidity will
cause the hair to fall out. To
help the hair regain lustre and
strengthen the roots, one should
rub the scalp at least fifteen
minutes each day with finger
tips, dipped first in olive OIL, 90
any good hair tonic. know
nothing that will reduce the bust.

What should you say to boy when
he gives you a nice present? Please
answer through The Journal;
What you should say is this:
Your present has given me
great deal of pleasure, l assure
you And I am pleased you
thought so kindly of me. l GER
tainly appreciate it"

am twelve years old and am in love
with a widower thirty-seven years
old. He has four children, three boys
and one girl. The eldest boys.s sly
teen years old, and I have promised
this man I would marry him. DO
you think I could make him good
wife? He is a rich man and he says
he loves me better than any one he
has ever seen, and I know that L
love him better than any one. We
are to be married Christmas. l nave
kissed this man. Do you think
did right? Is it nice to sit in this
mans lap and is 1t right to wave
and wink at man? My parents like
this man, and his children all love
me. 1 do not go to school.
LILLY.
You are entirely too young to
think of marrying any one, much
less a man tAirty-seven years old
with four children. He must
have very little sense to put such
silly notions in your head. Can't
you employ your time in more
fitting manner than sitting in this
mans lap. 1t is very wrong and
you are too big a child to do such
a thing. You should still be play
ing with dolls instead of think
ing about marrying.
