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. Dear Miss Brooks: , Please tell me what day of the week I was bom on. My birthday is on December De-cember 25, 1907. ' i LEXIA. Roosevelt, Utah. I fid you arrived here on Wednesday. Wednes-day. Let me hear from you again- Dear Miss Brooks; ; f'r ,' ! v wonder if you can help me with a puzzle. I always use a tub instead of a wash boiler. I bought a new one for that purpose, but I cannot make water boil in it I put it on tho range and had a; coal fire under it for nearly three hours, but the water would not boil. When I took it off, where it had stood on the stove all the , polish or smoothness was blistered just like a sun blister on a varnished article. Of course as soon as I cleaned my range it all chipped off ' and every time the fire is out for a while those places rust. I feel awfully aw-fully sorry about it and hope you can explain it a little to nm la there any way I can stop the rusting? Thanking you so much, A READER, Richfield, Idaho. Don't you think the reason the water wa-ter doea not boil in your tub 1s because be-cause the tub is not flat on the bottom? bot-tom? By taking the rusted parts and I having them ground on an emery stone I until smooth and then polishing with I steel wool which can be obtained at a I hardware store, your greatest trouble I My dear Mies Brook: I have two questions which have been botharing ma for a long time. 1.

After this use psrafine wax or a good machine oil for some time to prevent the rust from returning. re-turning. You may then continue to clean your stove with parafine wax or polish as you desire. This is the best and only method I could suggest to remedy the difficulty. The oil alone would possibly prevent further runt but would not make yiur store smooth. My dear Miss Brooks: I am deeply troubled and feel that I ehould ask someone's advice. About two weeks ago my girl friend and I, in company with my fiance, were out boabriding and the boat was accident-ly accident-ly capsized. We girls were both good swimmers, but ray fiance made no effort ef-fort to help me but seemed very anxious to help my girl friend. That evening he called on her to see if phe 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 feel that it was merely a friendly interest in-terest that prompted him to cjll on her, should I receive his attentions the same as usuaj, or should I break my engagement? Please advise me what to do. "ANXIOUS" Rigby, Idaho. Absolute sincerity and frankness Is necessary to al! friendship of whatever what-ever degree, so it would seem to me that an explanation was due from your fiance. Unless he could give a satisfectory explanation of his conduct con-duct at the time of the accident, I think you should offer to free him from his engagement You should te able to tell by his actions since that time whether his feelings hare chang- ed towards you. Breaking an engagement engage-ment is of course a s-rious thing, so you should be sure of your reasons-Whatever reasons-Whatever prompted him to act as he did at the time of the accident may have passed and he may now be as loyal to you as ever. , , My dear Miss. Brooks: I Wave two or three questions to ask you. (1) How old should a young I ay oe oerore bceinninir to think of marryinz? (2 Comd you tell me how anyore could take a scar eft of .heir arm aftr r it had been on there a year or more?, Thanking you in advance. ad-vance. McCammcn, Ilqho. (1) - You might begin to THINK of marryhg at a very early age, but I hope you will not connider taking this most important step before you are twenty-one or twenty-two. You will then have ample time left for the responsibilities and c;-res of marr ed life. Enjoy your girlhood rnd hold your ideal of a husband very high. (2) It depends a great dal upon what kind of a sc:r you hav? rs to whether it can be rcmov d. If it is I a deep scar it cannot be remov rd, but I if only a slight one it may be pon-i sible to remove it. A deep near such 1 m vaccination makes, cannot be re-! moved. , .
