Th Ladles' Home Journal is published by The Curtis Publishing Co., tSS Independence Square, Philadelphia. Pa. The subscription price is $1.50 a year. My dear Miflfl Brooks : I havo two questions which have been bothering me for a long time. 1. When a boy says "I am very glad to have met you," what Is the proper reply? 2. If a boy writes to a girl, then stops, and then starts strain, and thtn stops, and the girl writes last, would it be good form for the girl to write again If she thinks a good deal of this boy? Thanking you, LEILA, Salt Lake. (1) A pleasant smile and a quiet "Thank; you," Is all that is necessary, in answer to a boy's expression of pleasure at having met you. (2) To write the second time would not be bad form as he might not have received re-ceived the first one; but do not consider writing writ-ing after that, as it is very bad form to continue writing. Just as it Is not good form to continue to try to Interest a boy after he has shown you plainly that he doe not care for your attention. Dear Miss Brooks : Two of our town girls have questions and wish you would answer them. How old should a girl be before starting to go with a boy ?

It is just like It is dead and It sen ouy at an. inarming you m advane. BETTY. Utah. Th blotchy condition may be due t many reason and cannot usually b remedied by treatment through tJl skin.

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 were both good swimmers, but n;y fiance rnade 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 she 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 a usual, or should I break my engagement? Please advise me what to do. "ANXIOUS" Rigrby, 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 from your fiunce. Unless he could give a satisfrctory explanation of hi.s 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 ed towards you. Breaking . ment is of course a serious tffl? you should be sure of yonr Whatever prompted him to did at the time of the accui,Uh' have passed and he mar MZ V"! loyal to you as ever.
