much dear miss mims brooks you have helped so many with your excellent ad vicel want to ask you some questions il 0 1 I had my hair cut last august and it has been coming out it seem to come bout right after it was cut but it has hag been falling failing quite a lot lately my afy hair was very thick before it was cut 2 when one bis the hair on the back of the neck clipped has it a tendency to make it grow down lower and stiffer on the neck I 1 will come to you you again when I 1 am in trouble yours tours DAISY utah welcome daley daisy 1 very often the hair has a season of falling out did it never do this athla before it was cut I 1 would not advise using the vaseline tasel lne too often and do not shampoo more than every three weeks I 1 see no reason why the treatment you have been giving it should cause the hair to come out do not brush too vigor vigorously as aa you may irritate the scalp Afa massage esage the scalp gently with the finger tips and see that it Is freo free from dandruff 2 clipping the hair haiir does cause it to be orne come coarse and stiff yes yea and as aa the clippers are run down farther on the neck it causes the hair which would other otherwise wipe be unnoticed to grow in coarser and stiffer which makes it appear to be growing down farther on the neck dear miss brooks I 1 wrote to you once before and received very satisfactory answers now as I 1 read you corner each week I 1 do not find any ot of the girls having the same flame trouble that I 1 do I 1 wonder why I 1 have gone with different boys in the last two years most of them were several years older than 1 I and I 1 find it hard to keep your advice not to go with I 1 th a boy steady because when I 1 go with W I 1 th a boy one night he usually wants rne me to go again I 1 hate 0 to o refute refu seand and so it Is in every time there to Is anything to attend I 1 mind it if it would stop there but as aa soon as ai we get quite well acquainted they want me to pay more attention to them than to others now dont think im popular because I 1 never have chummed with the girls who can go with one boy tonight ind some one else tomorrow nor I 1 never felt that this wit was i exactly a t y proper 0 1 mean I 1 never felt t that bat I 1 w wanted d to go with luat just anyone that wished to pick me ins up besides I 1 could not do this and antill go with jojne who I 1 really feel are gentlemen they d dont ant object to me having friends but in insist upon them t he in being the kind that know kno w how 11 0 w to treat a girl there does not seem aleem to be very many of this kind of boys at least they dont want to tako take one no girl and then another and I 1 dont feel that I 1 chesl would id gain anything by giving up these e friends tor for another class do co you and how can I 1 keep this class of boys from wanting to be more than just real good friends thanking for the helpful you advice I 1 am sure to receive I 1 am MICKIE or ore it I 1 Is most regrettable egret table blickle that I 1 you have gained the erroneous impre alon you seem mem to have gained from reading my advice to other girls I 1 do not know i your our age but you will notice that my advice along these thes lines line has been mainly to the vry very young girl the one who insists upon going out with boys when as an young As fifteen and oven even younger it Is not wise wine for girls this age to check all boy a from her list hit of friends or beaus except one but rather when other boy bivs a appear whose society she enjoys add dd him to her list hat of good friends an and d pals L in 1 this way she ahe can surround h arelt orse 1 f wi with th a number of congenial friends who feel free to call on her or invite her to a dance party parly or show it if in the months or years to come there ther aeve develops 1 aps ops ix a feeling stronger then mere friendship for one of these or any one elea also it Is then time enough to dwindle down toone to one steady boys should haye have the acme privilege and I 1 do not understand your distinction of class ol of boia in in this respect I 1 most certainly certain y admire your claw class of friends arid and would as an not you to consider any young men who do not know how to treat it a girl in a gentlemanly manner noann or but why he need b be less a gentleman simply because ho he spends on one devening ee this week with you iou and one e t week wl wita your girl friend I 1 cannot cs n n yot see ee young girls and loys are too prone to look upon everyone who shows them the attention as an a possible lover loer or husband or wife the association together of young boys and girls in a companionable manner la 13 youths roost most enjoyable time because it Is the most carefree period so lot let it te be a time of good food alm times an asso elation of friendly pats reserving reser vinc the sweetheart end and lover husband mid wife alfa thought for more mature years I 1 I 1 do aa not know how you can keep these thesel boys from 0 to o be e moro tha good but it if you do not wish them to be b more than this you car frankly toll them so which Is th best belt cour and ana now taa b ta I 1 bairt helpful theae questions up for you chop L aho P 0 so and will b bis glad alad to heir cross fro you again |
