M It was wall sweet of ot you to copy the son song I for me dear Thank you much Dear Miss Brooks You have havo helped so many with your excellent advie e I want to ask you some somo questions 1 I had my hair cut last August and It has been coming out It didn't seem to to come out right after It was cut but It has been falling taIlIng quite alot a alot alot lot lately My hair was was very thick be before before before be- be fore It was cut 2 When one ono b s the hair on the back of the tho neck neck clipped clipped has It a a. tendency to make It grow down lower and stiffer on tho the neck I will come to you again when I am In trouble Yours DAISY Utah Welcome Daisy 1 Very often ofton the tho hair has a season of falling taIling out Did it Jt never do this before It was cut I would not advise using the vaseline too often and do not shampoo more than every three weeks I 1 seo see no reason why oily the tho treatment you yOU have hae been gIvIn In ing It should cause causo tho the hair hall to como come I I out L iio Do O not brush too vigorously as you 04 may Irritate the tho scalp Massage Massago the tho JS Ip gently with the finger linger tips and anil iseo e that It Is free from dandruff 2 Clipping CUpping the hair does cause It to bemo be- be mo coarse and stiff yes yos and as the tho Uppers Clippers are arc run down farther tarther on the tho neck ck It causes tho the hair which would otherwise be unnoticed to grow In coarser and stiffer which makes It appear ap ap- ap pear pear to be bo growing down fart farther er on the tha neck S Dear Miss Brooks I wrote to you ou once before and receIved received re re- re very satisfactory ory answers Now as I read you ou corner each week I do not find any of ot tho the girls having the tha same trouble that I do I wonder why I havo have gone with different boys In the tho last two years ears Most 1 of them were several so years older than I and I find It hard to keep your advice ad not to go with a no boy steady because when I go with a boy one night ho he usually wants mo tao to go again I hate to refuse and so It Is every overy time there thore is to attend I wouldn't mind If It anything it would stop there but as soon as wo we get quite well acquainted the they want n me rae to jy pay more moro attention to them than to tn to oth others ers more moro n jy pay attention to them than to tn to oth others ers Now dont don't think Im I'm popular because I never nover have chummed with tho the girls who can go 0 with one boy tonight and some somo one else elso tomorrow felt Nor I never nevor that this was exactly proper I mean I never felt that I wanted to with Just go anyone that wished to me Up B pick and still MII I could coul l not do this go with some who I feel really are aro gentlemen They dont don't to me having object friends but Insist them being the tho upon kind that know how treat a to a girl There Thoro does not seem to bo be very vary many of ot this least kind of boys boya at
