Wrong Way to Make Friends

Wrong Way to Make Friends
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have a very jolly and good
looking friend whom I met at a
drug store soda fountain. But
I have to keep explaining to my
mother that I met him in some
other way, because she thinks
boys should be regularly intro
duced. Don't you think she is
old-faShioned? BETTY.
These things, dear Betty, de-
pend not on fashion, but on
common sense. And if you were
not temporarily fascinated by
this unknown young man, I am
sure you would agree with your
mother that it is necessary to
know who people are before as
Sociating with them or admit
ting them to your home. You
ought to confess your deceit and
end your acquaintance with the
drug store youth, unless he can
produce some one known to you
both who can vouch for him.
And pray avoid possible dangers
and embarraSSments by being
more conventional in future.
She Is In Love With Both
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am in we with two real
nice young men and both have
asked me to marry them. The
Cle I like best has done several
' things no good husband would
do. He Is tr>:c as far as women
are concerned, but sometimes
he does not write me for months
at a time. And every time I've
set the date for our marriage,
he makes an excuse and gets
out Of it. The other man is
quite different, and is now wait
ing for my answer as to whether
1 shall marry or not. Which
would make the better hus-
band? UNDECIDED.
I don't believe you are very
deeply in love with either of
these young men or you would
know which you prefer. AS far
as the first is concerned, he
seems to have settled the mat
ter by putting off the wedding
Whenever you name the date.

BY Helen FOllett.

a glisten, and a nightly brushing
trains the hairs to stay put.
We fancy that we get our com.
plexions at the cosmetic counter,
but the fact is they come with
the groceries. What one eats
has everything to do with the
condition Of the skin-its color,
its texture, its resistance to cold
and heat, atmospheric dust and
weather. In the daily diet
should be fruits and vegetables,
whole grain cereals, milk, meat
and eggs. All these contain vita
mines which biuld tissue cells
and enrich the blood.
Underweight doesn't neces-
Sarily mean that a girl isn't
healthy; as long as She feels
well, She needn't worry. But
when underweight gets down
to a state Of scrawninesS, it de-
tracts from good looks. The
girl with the beanpole figure
should take cod liver oil. q tea
spoonful three times q day.
After each meal she should
drink milk and cream half
and half.
Silly to believe that the
shade Of the complexion pow
der should match a woman's
skin. If she is Sallow, she
doesn't want a sallow powder,
but a dark, rich suntan shade
that will hide the greenery-
yaller Of her own cutaneous
facial covering. Only darker
shades conceal defects.
