err a dark complexion. I was in love
with a boy of sixteen and still am
| About q fortnight ago I went with
| this boy, also wrote to him. When
one night I spent the night with my
best girl friend and he and her sweet
heart came up to see us. We behaved
ourselves properly Gas we always do,
but something 1 said made them both
angry and next morning they acted
rather funny. I wrote him (my friendl
an awful hateful note and he didn't
answer it. And I then wrote and
apologized for what I had done and
said. But he wouldn't accept my
apology Gas my girl friend told me
afterwards) and we don't even speak
now. He is rather a fast boy,
smokes, drinks and making love to
all the girls. But I was just wild
over him and am still. Even If he
does drink. 1 think 1 would die for
him. But he doesn't know this. AS
I make like I care nothing for him.
So he goes with other girls and says
he cares nothing for me and that he
never did. And I don't believe it,
because Of the way he acts. I can't
get along with a boy hardly a week.
If we are not falling out. 1 really am
too independent. Every one tells me
am extremely pretty. ALL Of the
boys thinks so. But that is one thing
care nothing about for I am not
conceited a bit. Will you please
| tell me how to win this boy back,
for I am crazy about him.
Thanking you in advance. ny
name is DROF.
You should think Of something
else other than boys. If this boy
| is fast" you should not keep
| company with him. I am afraid
| you have a tendency towards the
wild yourself. You had better
watch your conduct more care
fully in the future, lest your
| footsteps stray into wild pas
| lures. AS for gaining the love Of
any boy, be above reproach in
| character and conduct. You will
gain "love" by doing so.
I am coming to you for a little
advice. I am a girl fifteen years
old. weigh $50 pounds. Am 1 too
young for my weight? I don't want
to go with any boys. There is al
ways one wanting to go with me or
drinks, too. have tried as hard as
I could to show him that 1 didn't
want his company. Should I tell
him plainly that 1 do not want him,
or keep his company? 1 want to be
a trained nurse. How old should I
be before I start? Is it a, good job
for girl? L. G.
You may outgrow your flesh
| mess as you get older. Do not
go with the boy who drinks and
| CANDLES. If he persists in fore
ing his attentions upon you, tell
him plainly you do not care for
his company. This is the best
way out Of the difficulty. You
should be at least seventeen be-
| fore taking up trained nursing.
Improve your education in the
| meantime. You will need an edu-
cation to become successful
nurse. 1t is a very good calling.
am troubled, too. L am IA years of
age and am in love with boy IS.
He says if he doesn't get me he will
never have any other girl on earth
and T am sure I can't live without
him. He has proven his love to
me in many ways. He kissed me
goodbye the other night and put
his arms around me. He has asked
me to marry him five times.
be good to me I know. Ny daddy
is mean to me. I want to leave him
and he is willing for us to marry.
| I would like to wait about four
years before marrying.
BEAUTY.
1t is all right to be in love
and have sweethearts-it is
with it all level head and COM
mon sense is needed. You are
entirely too young to marry at
| IA. The boy is too young to
take the burden of wife upon
his shoulders. Wait two or
three years at least, if you still
have the same affection for
each other and he is able to sup
port a wife, time enough then to
decide. Do not let your father
talk you into marrying any one
just yet. Try to be happy at
home.
I am coming to you for some adj
vice. I am IA years old, have light
hair, blue eyes, fair complexion,
freckles on my face. What will re-
move them. What color will suit
me best?
When a boy asks for a kiss what
should I say. have a boy friend
who asked me to kiss him and I
wouldn't do it. Am doing right?
PRIMROSE.
Wear hat, it will protect
you from the sun rays. Keep
out of the sun and wind unless
your face is protected by coat
Of powder and thick vel. OF
course if you can't do this, you
may use good cold cream each
night. This is as good as any
thing else. "Stillman's freckle
cream" is said to be very good.
You might try it and see. Just
because a boy asks you to kiss
him doesn't mean that you should.
Don't let them persuade you.
