NARY MEPEDIFH'S ADVICE
70 LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

we have written you once before
and received such good advice we
decided to write again.
I, Diddy, want to know how 70

tall. How long should I wear my
dresses? How do you keep pongee

WHY is it boys don't like bobbed
hair? How is my handwriting? Am

I, Dumps, want to know II 1t Is
any harm to accept a present that
cost about $500 from a boy friend,
and what must you say to poy
when he asks you to kiss hlm, ana
is it any harm to go short distance
with a boy at night alone? How
often should a boy friend call? What
is good to remove dandruff! Ana
what is a good powder and cream
Hoping to see this in print at an
early date, we are, respectfully,
DIDDY AND DUMPS.
Diddy: To gain the highest re-
spect Of young men and old men,
be proper. Never do anything to
cause them to criticise. Don't talk
too loud, don't smack your lips, re-
frain from gossip, don't be catty.
Dress neatly and at all times mod
estly. Don't use paint and powder
and lip Nticks to advertise the

fully. Try to talk sensibly and well
without bringing in slang express
sions. 1t depends much on your flg-
ure. Short dresses are worn by old
girls as well as young girls. l think

hair is very becoming to some young
girls, others it gives a hardened
look, therefore it is not becoming.
1t is best to study your type. The
contour of your face, etc. If you
have nice hair don't be foolish and
cut it off.
Dumps: 1t depends on the length
of time you have known the boy
whether it is proper to accept an
expensive present from him. Do not
accept expensive gifts to place your
self in a compromising or embarrass-
ing position. Woman's love of pref
ty toys and finery makes her an easy
prey to mans scheming and vicious
mind. Be careful of the boy or man
too generous with his money, too
lavish in his gifts. Nine times out of
ten he means harm. Especially to
a young, pretty girl. You must learn
to say no with capital letters. Just
because boy asks for kiss you
needn't be so free. Kisses are your
treasures-don't throw them away.
They will soon be of little value to
anyone. Try to figure out right and
wrong for yourself. Depends on. the
character of the boy in question.
side of an arc light. Just watch your
behavior and do nothing that will
reflect itself upon your good name
in a harmful way.
I am a girl 16 years old and have
been going with boy IS years old.
I have been going with him for two
years and we are in love and I prom
ised to marry him and I know that
he loves me for he has always been
faithful to me, but I don't know what
to do. Ny father don't object to my
marriage now. My mother didn't
either, but she got killed and there
are three little ones here and I don't
know whether it would be right to
marry and leave them or. not, and
would appreciate any help given. I
am blonde. What color would look
best? Is bobbed hair stylish for a
girl Of 16? Print this in the next
Journal as I am anxious to know
what to do. BLONDE.
You really have quite an unself1sh
nature to put your little motherless
sisters and brothers before yourself.
1t is very brave of you to feel it your
duty to look after the little ones.
And If you could wait a while it
would be a wiser plan than marrying
just now. Somehow it seems such
a pity and rather cruel to bind your
sell to a man so early in life when
you are just beginning to blossom
into young ladyhood. Wait at least
a little while longer, anyhow.
