HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

| Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am heart
| broken because the boy 1 love no
| longer loves me. He has gone with
me almost q. year and he has been
wonderful to me, but now he has
stopped coming to see me and is going
with another girl. I know can never
forget him, but I would not want OF
hold him after he stopped loving me.
have his picture and he has mine.
also have a lot of little things he
gave me. Do you think I ought to
send back my picture of him and ask
him for the one he has of me, and
should I send the other little things?
We were not engaged and so 1 have
no ring to send back.
He told me he cared more for the
other girl and asked me to forgive
! him because he hald told me he loved
me only to find out later he did not
He wanted to part friends and said he
would always think of me as one OF
the sweetest girls he had ever known.
HEART-BROKEN.
Since you were not engaged when
the pictures were exchanged and you
parted friends, would advise you to
and say nothing about his returning
the picture Of you
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
IS years old I have a boy friend
that I think a great deal of, but my
parents do not like him. This boy
used to come steady to my home but
1 started going with another boy and
now he does not ask to see me any
more.
The other boy friend has moved
away and I would like to go with the
first one again. There aren't very
many boys in our town and those that
go with girls act soft" 1 don't like
to act soft but almost all the other
girls do. I am getting awfully lone
some and tired of not going places
when the others go. What shall do!
Would it be all right for me to write
to this boy?
BLUE-EYED BESS.
would not advise you to write TO
the boy. Be pleasant when you meet
him and ask him to come to see you
some time but do not directly show
that you want him back now that you
can't get any one else.
Don't be so catty in your opinion of
other girls. Not all girls are soft"
by any means.
Since you have no boy friend It is
very easy to attribute the popularity
of others to their "softness-" Be fair
and do not misjudge when you can
only jump at conclusions
Dear Mrs. Thompson: VIII orris

my hair. but sometimes would find

Orris root makes a good dry
shampoo and is not supposed to in
jure the hair.
