I would y It alt depended on what reason you gave him fsr not going to the dance as to why he has not returned to )ott. Perhapt you do not dance at all. In that ease ha may have thought he preferred to go with a girl who doc dance. In any cue I would not ask hi pardon a I cannot see where you have any reason to do so. Should he talk to you on thU particular subject again and you have anything to eiylaln, it would be perfectly proper to d? so, but not otherwise. Don't n-orry, dear; if he admired yon and enjoyed your company he will no doubt come again some of these days.

Dear Mlsa llrooka! Can you tell me what to do for a scaly and blotchy complexion, nnd also what to do for my hair? It la Just like It 1 dead and it isn't oily at all. Thanking you In advance. HETTY. Utah. The blotchy condition may be due to many reasons and 'cannot usually be remedied by treatment through the akin. The scaly condition condi-tion is probably caused by washing the face with impure soap. Try cleansing the face with a good cleansing cream. Do this regularly reg-ularly at least once a day, If you use powder change to some other good grade. It may be the powder which is causing the trouble.

My dear Miss Brooks: I am deeply troubled and feel that I should ask someone's advice. About two weeks ago my girl friend and I, in company with my fiance, were out boatriding and the boat was accident-ly accident-ly capsized. We girls wero both good swimmers, but njy fiance made no effort ef-fort to help me but seemed very anxious to help my girl friend. That evening ho called on her to see if the suffered any ill effects, but did not call on me. Since then he has called on me the same as usual. As I do not fee! that it was merely a friendly Interest In-terest that prompted him to call on her, should I receive his attentions the same a usual, or should I break my engagement? Please advice me what to dc. "ANXIOUS" Rigby, Idaho. Absolute sincerity and frunknesa Is necessary to all friendship of whatever what-ever degree, so it would seem to mc thnt an explanation was due from your fiance. Unless he could give a satisfactory explanation of his conduct con-duct at the time of the accident, I think you should offer to free him from his cngrgement. You should be able to tell by his actions since that time whether his feelings have chang ed towards you. Breaking an engage- 1 ment is of course a serious thing, so L you should be aure of your reasons. I Whatever prompted him to act as ht ' did at the time of the accident may have passed and he may now be as loyal to you as ever. My dear Mis3 Brooks: I have two or three questions t ask you. (1) How old should a young lady be before beginning to think of marrying? (2) Could you tell mo how anyone could tnko a scar off of their arm after it had been on there a. ' year or more? Thanking you in advance. ad-vance. McCammon, Idaho. (1) You might, begin to THINK of niarryinc at a very early age, but I'hope you will not consider taking j this motet important step before you are twenty-one or twenty-two. You will then hsrr ample time left for tho i responsibilities and enrcs of married ! life. Enjoy your girlhood nnd hold your ideal of a husband very high. (2) It depends a great deal upon 't what kind of a scar you have as to i whether it can be removed. If it i , i a deep scar it cannot bo removed, but s if only a slight ono it may be pos- sible to remove it. A deep scar'such as vaccination makes, cannot be removed. re-moved. Dear Miss Brooks: I I,ihave come to you to ask a quea- t tion. I am sixteen years old and I ' have a boy friend who is the same age. i Ho will go with mo and tnko me .to lj the show, but you don't know whether ho likes you or not. Will you tjIcoso j tell me if you can how I could find t out whether ho likes mo or not? 3 Sometimes ho acts so funny you ' wouldn't think he liked anybody. I ! am hoping to hear from you soon. ' Your true friend, ' A WONDERER of Utah. Watchful waiting would seem to be i about the only course you can pursue. Your friend is very likely the quiet, reserved type and is possibly eccentric also, and it would take a long acquaintance ac-quaintance with him before you feci that you really know him. Bide your time, dear if he likes you he will let you know about it, and in the mean-time mean-time go to the shows nnd cn.ioy them : and do not think too muli about n bother he likes you or not. He cvi , dently enjoys being with you or bo , wouldn't care to take you any place, nnd that is all that Is necessary at ' tho age of sixteen. I Dear Miss Brooks: Please tell me what day of the week ' I was born on. My birthday is on Do- j cember 25, 1907. I f LEXIA. Roosevelt. Utah- I find you arrived here on Wcdnes. day. Let mc hear from you again. |
