Dear Annie laurie

am in love with a boy two years my
senior. Last summer when he used
20 take me out quite frequently 1

Now I've found out the entire
trouble was that my friends had
discouraged me because he didn't
seem 10 suit them. Since I've gone
out with boys OF their choice I'm
beginning to realize that he is far
above them But I'm aware OF the
fact that he'll never ask me TO go
anywhere again. ! truly believe he
likes me quite a lot. although he
feels ! don't want him.
Is there anything you can suggest
to bring US together? Would il be
forward or bold 10 invite him 10 a
party? SORRY.
SORRY: l do not believe IL would
be amiss TO invite him TO a party.
That Will show him you wish to be
friendly with him, and will give him
an opportunity TO resume your
friendship If he so desires. II he
doesn't. I'm afraid there is nothing
you can do, as affection cannot be
forced.
II doesn't pay TO be rude TO any
one. does IL, my dear? Treat every
body kindly. and then you will have
no regrets.

But now he seems TO care only a
little for me. and very seldom takes
me out.
What shall I do? I have learned
TO love this boy. but now it seems
too late.
1 am lonesome, and my heart is
broken. / could go out with others,

BEAUTY HINTS

Give me beauty, but at little
cost is the burden of the o of the
mass of humanity.
For, the little girl or woman who
work all day for a moderate salary,
EATS hasty meals in downtown res
~taurants and goes home to a little
bedroom with probably n window
and hasn't much left for frills, finds
the problem of attractiveness a diff
cult one. And with her kind the
world Is crowded.
But there are always simple and
inexpensive ways.
Ordinary boracic acid powder Is
the bit of magic to which a great
many girls owe their clear skin. 1t
IS a better pimple and blemish re-
mover than most ointments and less
expensive. 1t should be busted light
ly over the skin at night after a
thorough cleansing.
As for rouge-and even the most
puritanical Of us must admit that
there are times when there is virtue
as we'll as. wisdom in rouge. a simple
and harmless way of adding color is
by the use of ordinary cochineal,
(which may be procured from the
krocer at small cost. In this color,
which is used in cooking, there are
no harmful chemicals and the tone
II gives is soft and lovely. 1t should
be patted on with clean cotton and
then shaded off with another clean
piece.
And, speaking of cotton-there
are a great many girls who seek
skin cleanliness first. who keep a
roll OF absorbent cotton and use a
clean pad of it each day for powder
puffs, instead of the n puff day

GETTING SETTLED
CHAPTER IS

Are YOU going to see about this
new position today?" / asked Win
the next morning. In spite of the
fact that we had been up dancing
until three, my summer habits were
still with me and l woke up at
eight.
81 don't know. I don't think So"
Win answered. Il think I'd rather
see the city. Will you take me
around?"
1 nodded, glad to be the to
show him the place he was SO much
in love with. l was still a little tired
but / decided that l would have
breakfast in bed. which would give
me an hours extra rest and then we
would start.
All that day and the next and the
n after that we went around the
town. l had my own car brought
out of storage, the little runabout
my aunt had given me when / was
in school, and we drove in that.
II like that huge n best" Win
remarked as we ran up the drive by
the river. This is shabby, Connie.
Better have it done over"
My aunt's a is too big, and
besides, we have TO have Blake" l
protested. she doesn't like anyone
TO run IL out MIN.
But l like having Blake drive. 1t
makes me feel so very opulent and
important" Win said naively.
For a moment / was very much
hurt. When we had my aunts town
car we were not alone, it wasn't a
bit sociable, it was so elegant it was
oppressive. My aunt could do that
sort of thing very well, she looked
the part, she leaned back against
her pale gray cushions in her ex-
quisite gowns and was far removed
from the rude and vulgar world. But
| liked the rude and vulgar world,
and liked being in the little low
seated car that let me come in con-
tact with 1t.
Most of all, I preferred to walk,
Then l could really be with the peo-
pie, one o. them. But as l Was rare
ly allowed that privilege, the next
best was this shabby, smooth run
ming machine. And now VIII was
saying he did not like being in il
alone with me--he preferred the
isolated splendor of the car and the
chauffeur!
Then 1 decided it was silly to fee
, hurt.
I'VE can't afford even this wher
we really begin housekeeping"
said. II asked this morning how
much garage hire is, and / asked
Blake yesterday how much gasoline
costs and how much it takes to run
this for a year-just on an average
We can't do it on your salary anc
on your allowance"
"Oh, all right. There are Away:
taxies,' Win answered easily. 90
don't like this little car much any
way. In a veal or so we'll be able
to have a big one"
I doubted that but said nothing
Why spoil his pleasure? He wa'
having such a delightful time.

Jupiter, the sun and saturn are all
adverse.
This sway is most unfortunate
for women, especially in their bust

Those who occupy important po-
sitions are warned that there Will
be much jealousy and envy on the

1t is not a lucky sway for a
woman who desires political prefer

Saturn frowns on the aspirations

unlucky in any real estate deals
promoted under this direction of

This is not a lucky wedding day

An statesman or a diplomat Is
likely to make a great mistake at
