70 LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
1 have been reading your good
advice in The Journal. I will ap-
preciate it very much if you will
help me, too, concerning my hair,
and not about the boys. I have real
black hair and it is coming out bad
ly. Also have dandruff. I comb it
out about once or twice a week with
fine comb, but it don't seem to
the danderuff is fine and won't comb
out very much. Sometimes my hair
looks oily (but not often) and then
again it will locke like it hasn't any
life in it at all. 1t is broken off.
do not want to bob it at all. Please
write at once and give me your best
advice, and it will be appreciated
very much. Would castor oil be
good to put on the scalp or some
hair tonic? Am inclosing stamped
and addressed envelope. Please let
me hear from you at once. How is
my handwriting? Yours truly,

White vaseline is splendid for
dandruff. First brush the hair
well with good stiff brush, which
is perfectly clean. Part hair in cen
ter, begin at forehead to nape of
neck behind, then part the right
side in as many parts as you can;
twist each part into a tiny tuck. Dip
tips of fingers into Vaseline, heat
vaseline first, rub all around these
little tucks taking care not to get
any grease on the hair or as little
as possible. Rub well at least fiji
teen minutes, then loosen the hair,
trim the ends off about half an inch
all around. Let the hair hang free
as often as possible. Keep hair
brush absolutely clean, also comb,
free from dust. Sun the hair often.
Use grease three times week.
Drink plenty of water throughout
the day. See that your general
health is improved and your hair
will improve. Brush hair at least
twenty minutes per day. Water in
the system is needed to supply mois-
ture for skin and scalp to drive out
impurities. The scalp is supposed
to be loose, and porous like the skin.

When a boy gives nice present to
a girl for Christmas present what
must she say to him? When a boy
asks you to marry him and you wish
TO, what must she say to him?
Please answer these questions in the
next Tri-Weekly Journal and obIige.
Sign my name HAPPY GIRL.
If you gave a nice present to a
person what would you" expect him
to say? If the present is lovely and
you are plum tickled to death with
1t" let him know it at once. Let him
get the pleasure out of your being
pleased. There is no set rule to show
ones appreciation for gift. But if
you are timid and shy, suppose you
sit down and write a truly nice nat
ural note, just what you really think
and mail or send it to the young
man. He will be so pleased that you
are pleased. If you are in love with
the young man who has asked you
to marry him, tell him so. Tell your
love to him. This is your greatest
moment in life. Say eyes," like you
meant it. The thrill of being pro-
posed to and accepted should be all
thrills in one. And if you are a
woman, have any brains at all, 1
needn't advise you further.
Just a little advice in regard to
eyebrows is all 1 want. Which is
the more stylish, thick or thin? Nat
urally, mine are thick and bushy,
very ugly. I keep them pulled, but
they are lots of trouble, they grow
back so fast I have to pull them
out every few days, also sometimes
they break off. Do you know any
thing to prevent them breaking, and
what can I put on them to make
them smooth? 1 have them in a
nice shape now. Would you con-
tinue to pull them, or let them grow
back natural?
Answer as soon as you can, please.
Thanking you in advance for your
kindness and promptness.
Sincerely,
QUEEN.
Plucking out the eyebrows is a
very foolish thing. Eyebrows are
placed on ones face to protect the
Sy L IIS 1ciI gel OIlS . Sy eS, III1ChGE
are ones eyebrows. SCOT, dust, any
flying atom, or germ is lodged in the
broWs and lashes to protect the eyes.
Lashes are the brooms to keep the
surface about the eye clean. When
the eyebrows are thinned to a mar
row line, it not only causes head
aches, weakens the eyesight in time,
but it leaves a silly, characterIess
expression on ones face. If your
eyebrows are thick and bushy, it
will not hurt to pull out a very few
of the straggly hairs on the nose
line between eyebrows and at the
temples. If you persist in pulling
out your eyebrows, you surely will
regret it, they will grow out bristley
stiff and the arch line will be ruined
forever. And it is with great pleas
ure I have noted in the past few
months the younger girls have
dropped this barbarous fashion.
F.; Use tiny spSck of white vaseline on
a very narrow brush, shaped like a
tooth brush, and brush the brows
with this each time you dress for
the out-of-doors, or on going to bed
