Dear Miss Brooks:
Can you tell what to do for q scaly
nd als hat 20, do
for my hair? 1t Is just like it is dead and it
snt oily at all. Thanking you in advance
BETTY. Utah
inc biotchy condition may be due to many
reasons and cannot usually be remedied BY
treatment through the skin. The scaly condi-
ton l: probably caused by washing the face
With impure soap. Try cleansing the face
with a good cleansing cream. Do this reg
uiarly at least once day. If you powder
change to some other good grade. 1t may be
the powder which is causing the trouble. Re
t.noroush massaging with the tips of the
finger: In circular movement DAILY. Be
io1e .hsmpooing massage vaselne olive oil
into the scalp thoroughly and shampoo with =
good tar soap. Rinse in water in which q
lemon. skin and all. has been boiled and then
strained. Clip the ends Of your hair once
month until 1t improves. Let me hear from
faithfully for . month or two.
My dear Miss Brooks:
l am deeply troubled and feel that
should ask someone's advice. About
two weeks ago my girl friend and l.,
in company with my fiance, were out
boatx;ding and the boat was accident
ly capsized. We girls were both good
swimmers, but MY fiance made no eff
fort to help me but seemed very
anxious to help my girl friend. That
evening he called on her to see if she
suffered any i'll effects, but did not
call on me. Since tken he has called
on me the same as usual AS do not
feel that it was merely friendly in
terest that prompted him to call on
her, should I receive his attentions
the same as usual, or should l break
my engagement? Please advise me
what to dc.
ANXIOUS" Rigby, Idaho.
Absolute sincerity and frankness Is
necessary to all friendship of what
ever degree, SO It would seem to me
that an explanation was due from
your fiunce. Unless he could give =
satisfactory explanation Of his con.
duct at the time Of the accident, I
think you should offer to free him
from his engagement. You should be
able to tell by his actions since that
time whether his feelings have chang
Cd towards you. Breaking an engage
ment il of course q serious thing, SO
you should be sure of your reasons.
Whatever prompted him to act a. he
did at the time Of the accident may
have passed and he may now be as
loyal to you as ever.
My dear Miss Brooks:
I have two or three questions to
ask you. (D How old should young
lady be before beginning to think of
marrying? (2) Could you tell me
how anyone could take a scar off of
heir arm after it had been on there I
year or more? Thanking you in ad-
vance.
McCammon, Idaho
(D~~You might begin to THINK
Of marrying at a very early age, but
l hope you will not consider taking
this most important step before you
are twenty-one or twenty-five. You
will then have ample time left for the
responsibilities and cares of married
life. Enjoy your girlhood and hold
your ideal of husband ve>y high
CD 1t depends great deal upon
what kind of a scar you have as to
whether it can be removed. If it il
deep scar it cannot be removed, but
if only slight one it may he pos.
sible to remove it. A deep scar such
as vaccination makes, cannot be re-
moved.
Dear Miss Brooks:
have come t. you to ask CUES
ton l am sixteen years old and
have boy friend who is the same age
He will go with me and take me to
the show, but you don't know whether
he likes you or not. Will you please
