should he uld a girl comb her hair at the age of its it years 4 how old should you bouls b to go to the dances your tour truly MISS P H P IV homedale idaho 1 no indeed you should have no thought of boys at 14 but have your entire mind on your studies and school work 2 how flow absurdly of course not how could you 3 A style I 1 think very becoming and simple to Is to comb it back from the face in any manner which Is becoming to your particular features bring it together at the back braid a few inches and fasten with a barotte barett leaving the curled ends tree free A girl of fourteen should not dress dream her hair in any extreme style such as ear or roughed in enormous puffs at the side of the head always the simple simpie girlish styles art are in better taste 4 sixteen or seventeen Is in quite young enough to go to dances and then not the public dance hall girls fie ie fie my dear I 1 am quite sure lure all you need Is to brine your reserve forces of pride and dignity to the fore ore and so 0 o protect yourself from rom the idea that you are in love with A ith a boy who you ad mit quit ut any cause I 1 do not say flay you cannot be in love loaft at seventeen but I 1 do think you should make a heroic effort lo io overcome such ouch an idea and do not understand how you could love a boy who treats you in such uch a manner of course if you are la in any way to blame that to la another apropo but my advice now cow would be 1 to try to become interested in dome other nice young man and you will w I 1 sec oon be laughing at the ides idea of having been in love dear mil
