My dear Miss Brooks:
I 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
boas<;ding and the boat was accident
ly capsized. We girls were both good
swimmers, but my fiance made no ef-
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 then he has called
on me the same as usual. AS l do not
feel that it was merely a friendly in
terest that prompted him to call on
her, should l 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 h
necessary to all friendship of what
ever degree, 80 1t would seem to me
that an explanation was due from
your fiance. Unless he could give q
satisfactory explanation Of his con-
duct at the time of the accident. /
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 Is of course 4 serious thing. 20
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:
l have two or three questions to
ask you. (1) 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 =
year or more? Thanking you in ad-
vance.

| D-You might begin to THINK
OF marrying at q very early age, but
l hope you will not consider taking
this most important step before YOU
are twenty-One or twenty-five. You
viii then have ample time left for the
responsibilities and cares of married
life. Enjoy your girlhood and hold
your ideal of a husband ve-y high
(2) 1t depends a great deal upon
what kind of scar you have rs 10
whether it can be removed. If it is
a deep scar it cannot be removed. bul
If only a slight one it may be nos.
sible to remove it. A deep scar such
as vaccination makes, cannot he re.
moved.
Dear Miss Brooks:
, have come t. you to ask CUES.
ton l am sixteen years old and

He will go with me and take me r.
the show, but you don't know whethe,
ne hikes you or not. Will you please
tell me if you can how | could find
out whether he likes me or not ,
Sometimes he acts so funny Won
