I j have be-n no rm with a certain fellow for tome time, though I was not ensad. Dut will admit that I admired him very much and Oiink he admired me. He asked me lo go jo a dance and I refused, so he took one of my very dear g-'.rl friends and ia now paying hie attention to her. Will yon please tell me what I am to do 7 Am I supposed to aak hii pardon, as 1 shouldn't think this would be; proper; or what do you think is best? I have confided my trouble in aknost every j dear fr.cnd and it seems as thouyh they cannot can-not or will not help me. Thanking- you, I am, D V. J.. Idaho. Well, here's another nice young' man who's "peeved" about something. I would say it j all depended on what reason yoa gave him i for not ftiing to the dance as to why he has not returned to you. Perhaps you do not dance at all. In that case ho ir.ay hare thought he preferred to go with a rirl who d es dance. In any case I would not ask ', his pardon as I cannot see where yoo have ; any reason to do so. Should he talk la you : on th's particular subject again and yco have anything to explain, it would be perfectly j proper to do bo, but not otherwise. Don't worry, dear; if he admired you and enjflyed your company he will no dMibt come again some of these days. Thank you for your en- co a raffing words and I hope this answer wJl b frf help to j. a.

(1) How old should a young-lady young-lady be before beginning to think of marrying? (2) Could you tell ma how anyone could take a scar off of their arm after it had been on there a year or more? Thanking you in advance. ad-vance. McCammon, Idaho. You. might begin to THINK of marryinc t a very early age, but I hope you will not consider taking-this taking-this moart important step before you are twenty-one or twenty-two- Yoa will then har; ample time left for the responsibilities and cares of married life- Enjoy your girlhood and hold ycur ideal of a husband very high. (2) It depends a great deal upoa what kind of a scar you have as to whether it can be removed. If it is a deep scar it cannot be removed, but if only a slight one it may be possible pos-sible to remove it. A deep scar such as vnccination makes, cannot be removed. re-moved. Dear Miss Brooks: I have come to you to ask a question. ques-tion. I am sixteen years old and I have a boy friend who is the same age. He will go with me and take me to the show, but you don't know whether I he likes you or not. Will you please I toll me if you can how I could find lout whether he likes me or not? Sometimes he acts so funny you wouldn't think he liked anybody. I am hoping to hear from you soon. Your true friend, A WON'DERER of Utah. Watchful waiting would seem to be about the only course you can pursue. Your friend is very likely the quiet, i reserved type and is possibly eccentrio I also, and it would take a long ac- quaintance with him before you feel that you really know him. Bide your time. de:ir if he likes you he will let ycu know about it, and in the meantime mean-time 0 to the shows and cnioy them and clo not think too much about ( whether he likes you or not. He evidently evi-dently enjoys being with you or he wouldn't care to take you any place, and that is all that Is necessary at ; the age of sixteen.
