Bide youf time, dear if he likes you he will let you knowbout it, and in the meantime mean-time go to the shows and enjoy them and do not think too mu?h 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. ; Dear Miss Brooks: Please tell me what day of the week I was born on. My birthday is on December De-cember 25, 1907. - 1 ''; LEXIA. Roosevelt, Utah. I f id you arrived here on Wednesday. Wednes-day. Let roe hear from you again Dear Miss Brooks; : t T , ., ;i I 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 the range and had a .coal fire under it for nearly three hours, but the wattr 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 me. Ia 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 docs not boil in your tub Is because be-cause the tub is not flat on the bottom? bot-tom? By taking the rusted parts and having them ground on an emery stone until smooth and then polishing with steel wool which can be obtained at a hardware store, your greatest trouble will be over. 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 vour stove with narafin war or polish as you desire. This ia the best and only method I could suggest to remedy the difficulty. The oil alone would possibly prevent further rust but would not make y.ur stove smooth. trained. Clip the ends of yoar hair once a month until it improves. Let me hear from ,5u'?, thee directions faithfully for a month er two. My dear Miss Brooks: I am deeply troubled and feel that I ahould ask someone's advice. About two weeks ago my girl friend and I, in company with my fiance, were out boataiding 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 call on her, should I receive his attentions the same as usuaj, or should I break my engagement? Please advise me what to dc. "ANXIOUS" Rigby, Idaho. Absolute sincerity and frankness Is necessary to all friendship of whatever what-ever degree, so it would seem to me that an explanation was due froml 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 be able to tell by his actions since that time whether his feelings have chang-i 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 hint 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. Erooks: I save two or three questions to ask you. (1) How old should a young a(ly be before bcsinninsr to think of merryinjr? (2) Couid you tell me how anyore could take a scar erf of .heir arm aft r it had been on there a year or more?. Thanking you in advance. ad-vance. ' McCammcn, Idaho. (1) .You might begin to THINK of marrying at a very early age, but I hope you will not consider taking this most important step before you are twenty-one or twenty-two. You will then have ample time left for the responsibilities and cres of mrrr'eei lifi'. Enjoy your girlhood tnd hold your ideal of a husband verv high. (2) It depends a great d 'al upon what kind of a scrr you hav? rs to whether it can be rcmov d. If it Is a deep scar it cannot he remov d, but if only a slight one it may be pos-' sible to remove it. A deep scar such; a vaccination makes, csnnot be rc-i 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 ape. He will ko with me and take me te the show, but you don't know whether ho likes you or n'it Will you please tell me if you ran how I eould find out whether he likes n.e or not?
