Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a
boy friend who lives in another
city. He writes once a week.
have another boy friend whom
like very much. How can l tell
my out-of-town friend not to
write without hurting his feel
ings? I am a girl in my teens.
THANK YOU.
You might write to the out-of-
town boy less and less freque ntly.
Or if you want to stop the cor
respondence Immediately, tell him
that you are interested in someone
else His feelings may be hurt,
but he will get over it.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: My finger
nails are SO brittle and break OF
close to my fingers and my hands
are dry and rough When 1 put
them in warm water they get ten
der and sore. Please tell me what
to get TO rthem. A. B.
After taking your hands out of
water apply the following lotion:
Glycerine, 1 ounce; bay rum, 2
ounces; carbolic aicd, 20 drops.
, This lotion will keep the hands
in a soft, white condition and will
probably improve the condition of
the nails. If they still remain
brittle, however, after using the
lotion a week, get some sweet oil
at the drug store and rub it into
the nails every night
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a
girl of II and I am not allowed to
go out with boy or girl friends 1
hardly ever go to any moving pic
ture shows. 1 am only allowed to
go to school and church. Do you
think that is right?
One Sunday when 1 was going
to church a young fellow threw
snowballs at me. Why did he do
that? LONESOME ROSEBUD.
Some young girls go out too
much and others do not go out
enough. 1t is difficult to say just
how much pleasure seeking is
good for 17-year-old girl think
you should be allowed to have boy
friends and to entertain them in
your home, but 1 feel your parents
are quite right in Directing to have
you go out nights with friends. At
your age it is just as well to go to
picture shows and such places
which would take you out at night
with members of the family.
Dear Mrs Thompson: I am en-
gagged to young man who is
faithless to me. We have been en-
gagged for two years and both of us
have worked hard so that we could
save money to marry and start
housekeeping. All this time have
trusted my fiance and believed he
loved me, but now I can no longer
believe in him.
1t has been rumored that he was
interested in his stenographer, but
I refused to believe anything
against him. Then l began to see
him in his automobile taking her
home from work.
Last Sunday night he phoned
that he would be unable to come
to see me. After I had left the
telephone I became more and more
excited and 1 made up my mind to
go to the vicinity of her home, be-
cause I knew where she lived, and
watch for him. 1 got there at a
quarter of eight and about half an
hour later he drove up. 1 did not
let him see me there and he does
not know / saw him.
What would you advise me to
do? MOLLY.
The only thing for you to do is
to give up the man. Surely you do
not want to marry some one who
cannot be trusted and who will
bring great unhappiness to you be-
bause Of his interest in other wom-
en-.
My advice is to break the en-
gagement now and not wait until
he asks you to do so. It is evident
that before long he will tell you
the truth and ask to be released.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: My wife
has been false to me. When / found
it out she admitted that she was in
love with another man. 1 left her
