Dear Miss Alton: I hope you will read all of this and then help me by advice which I art\ badly in need of. * I began to go with a school boy friend when I W\as 14, but I never * really went with him steady until I . was 16. AVbbn I was barely 15 I be came acquainted with a number of boys and girls in a nearby town. The boys at once began rushing me,- as they tvlll any pretty new girl, for I ways considered the prettiest girl in obr small town, but I’m not a bit vain about it. I went out with some very "nice, popular boys, and each tried to gain fdvor over the others. There were only two whom I liked very much. I finally went steady with the younger one, whom I will call Allen. Then I began going with different ones, off and on. I was sometimes very un reasonable with him, for I am natur ally very high-strung and sometimes hateful. One night I quarreled with him, and he explained the matter to me all right, but I would not make up then; so he quit coming. I wrote to him and told him I was sorry and he came back, but he did not come so often, and finally not at all. Now Allen goes with another girl in his home town steady and I want him hack desperately. I am now 17 and still considered good looking, but my attraction for toy friends is slipping fast. Some of my girl friends who are not so good looking as I seem to be able to at tract the boys better than I, who was the most popular. I try to he nice and fnake friend*, but I guess I treat the girls too friend ly and the boys ton indifferently. I also have a fairly good voice, anil some have said It was beautiful. My parents are poor people, hut I try to dress as neatly and stylishly as possible without looking conspicuous • under my circumstances. But the girls laugh to themselves about m.v unpopularity, and it hurts so. I sometimes get so lonesome for some one to take me to shows, games, etc., that I cry to myself. I know It is silly. Miss Allen, but I can’t help It. Tomorrow I will probably go to this town where Allen lives and I will very likely see him. Please, Miss Allen, tell me how I should act in order to attract him to ine., for I know he still thinks a little of me. Whenever he sees mo he looks so in terested and pleased and always acts ns If he wants me to see him. It thrills me when lie looks at me that way, Although I have gone with many boys, I have remained pure and clean, although I have allowed the most fa vored of them to kiss me sometimes. Dear Miss Allen, won't you please think of yourself as a popular, at tractive girl and advise me as one? I remain, LONESOME, THAT’S ALL. P. S. Do you think body odors, bad breath and pnperfumed hair has had anything to do with mv trouble? Although it Is long, I have puli lfshed all of your letter because I think it contains the answer for it self. It takes much more than a pretty I face to hold people. lie thankful t ' the good Lord that ho made you j pleasing to look upon, and then sec if you can't make your conduct so much superior to your looks that peo ple will forget to say you are pretty. A beautiful women told me once that the biggest compliment she ever received was when she arrived at the homo of a cousin whose husband site had never met. The husband acl.nowl edged the Introduction and, turning l to his wife, said: “You have never told me II. was so beautiful!’’ "I had never thought to mention that,” the cousin replied. The visi tor was so Interesting, so fine, so hu man, that her looks really didn't seem to make any difference. Vour letter reveals another tiling. You are one of the girls with a no tion that men like best the girls who treat them the worst. Now that is a fallacy. Men are human beings just as much as women. And human beings like to be treated with respect and kindness. I do not mean you should "run after" boys. That dis gusts and sickens them. You are too young, of course, to he much concerned with unpopularity, but I am glad you wrote me, for I think you'll lie a little better off if you take my advice. I am sure from your letter that you are a bright girl, and I am sure you want to do what Is lovely and kind. Bad odors are offensive, of course, but excessive .use of perfumes Is too. Keep yourself fresh and clean: drink plenty of water; eat temperately and exercise. Then you won’t have dls agreeable body odors. | Miss Information | these pants are\ p raps too 6iG FOR BOBBY BOBBY HAS ANO I VE SEEN SENT GROWN TO ALL OVER THIS /FIT THEM STORE FOR HOL/RS/j 8y THIS TRYING to E»i TIMJ .MRS Change EMf/ 1 Rummage , r !> To Revive Curdled Custard.

Digestible—No Cooking <* Light Lunch tttf* Avoid Imitations - Substitutes ' ' 1 -N A Wife's Confessional Adrle Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE (Copyright, 1920 ___ Why Does Dirhy Wish Madge lo Hell tlie Farm? At Dicky's tentative proposal to leave the farm, a little monitor deep In rny consciousness whispered a warning to walk warily. AY hat lay be hind the startling proposition was a mystery to me, but I knew that It behooved me to find out before I committed myself to a definite an swer. "Leave the farm?" I parried. “You mean for the winter?” "I mean for all time,” Dicky said, but I .noticed that his eyes did not meet mine. "It's like this. It's out of the question for us to have two homes. AVe're not In the millionaire class yet. Of course we could manage as we did last winter, go into the city ffir the worst winter months In a furnished apartment, but the suburbs and the farm have spoiled us for that. Besides it’s an unsettled way to live at best. No, there's only one solution, and that is to find a place such as we had at Marvin, near enough to the city for easy com muting, and with enough land around to make It secluded.” An answer that was good for a full-sized family row rose to my lips but heroically I suppressed it. Dicky glanced at me furtively, then gave a sardonic little laugh. "Oh, go on! You might as well say It as press your lips together in that ‘thin red line' of martydom.’ ” he said, “Yes, I know you've got it all over me because I Insisted on selling the Marvin home, and It was a financial blunder, even though we, got top price for it. But—did your I I I Well Known and j I asked for in I I Every Community \ I How many men can you name who are known and remembered throughout the nation ? We are all familiar with the prodigious effort required to make a candidate for President known to his countrymen. There are many distinguished provincials, but only a few national figures. It’s a big job for a man to win the favorable attention of the public. But it’s a bigger job for a commercial product. And when you include every community in the land, it becomes a tremendous task—the ultimate in modern merchandising. * * * Thousands of products are offered the public with this object. Shining out from the many, a few are living reminders everywhere for purchases. And one is Coca-Cola. Its cheerful colors brighten the streets and corners of thou sands of cities and towns, its name more familiar than the names of the streets themselves. * * * Millions, representing every community, see this name—find the beverage served at cool and cheerful places—learn it is “delicious and refreshing” — realize it is pure and wholesome—remember to ask for it again when they’re thirsty. And Coca-Cola has come to be the most I widely distributed product, manufactured by a single company, in the world. * * * You’ll be interested in some facts about the merchandising plan by which 415,000 re tailers have won a market for Coca-Cola. There are 20,000 Coca-Cola walls and bul letins in the United States. Three million pieces of window display, signs and other dealer help advertising are being distributed in 1924. Two and a half million 1924 Coca-Cola calendars were given# away. Coca-Cola’s message is carried in Millions of copies of magazines and newspapers. In developing Coca-Cola’s merchandising plan through the 38 years the beverage has been on the market, more than $40,000,000 has been spent in advertising, * * * m The United States Supreme Court, in a case involving an infringement on the trade-mark, Coca-Cola, said: “The name (Coca-Cola) now characterizes a beverage to be had at almost any soda fountain. It means a single thing coming from a single source, and well known to the community.” By “the community” the Supreme Court meant “every community.” Only a pure and wholesome beverage of the highest possible quality could have attained this standing throughout the land. « alleged brain ever figure out that 1 might have had other reasons than financial ones for wantlyg to get away from Marvin?” My brain leaped to the only an swec possible. Edith Fairfax—at the tl. .e of that sale she had not yet attained to the ei\Jm poised attitude of mind toward Dicky that I now be lieved to be hers. “Why Keep It?”. Could Dicky have sold onr home because his dally proximity to her might cause her uneasiness? Or, per chance—the little demon of Jealousy lifted its head snakily for a second— did Dicky have something to conquer In the secret recess of his own soul? T put the last thought from me swiftly, and made the only answer possible without betraying the serret feeling of which I already was deep ly ashamed. “I never bothered my head ahout the matter,” I said carelessly, “and surely it Is all ancient history by now. I do think, however, your Idea of buying another suburban home like the house In Marvin Is very good, but I'm afraid you're going to find a distinct advance In prices, end much greater difficulty In finding what we want than when we bought the Marvin place. But wljy give up the farm?” " Why keep It?” Dicky countered stubbornly, "Oh, I know It’s lovely for summers! I love "It myself to come to for a few days, but to tell you the truth. I'm a bit fed up with the farm myself. If we could com mute from It, why, that would be something else again." Kafie Interrupts. With a sinking heart I realized something to which I have long tried to shut my eyes. Dicky’s tastes and mine concerning many things, are radically different. I like a little bit of the city life occsaionally, but a very little does me. Dicky on the contrary, must have a certain amount of ex citement, or his soul dies, "This house will just run down If you shut it up except for a few weeks in the summer.” I>icky urged, nnd miserably I nodded an assent to his words. ‘‘So why don't yon sell it. and Invest the money in a new home?” The little warning voire sounded again. The money for the farmhouse had been part of my pati#nony from my father. It was all mine. No part of the money from the sale of the Marvin home had gone into it. owing to my father's wish at the last min ute of the sale that he should be re sponsible for the whole sum. Why should not the Marvin house money be applied upon ,the new suburban home of Dicky's dream? "It would be folly to sell it at short hotlce," I said slowly trying to marshal my thoughts in order, and furtively watching my husband’s face. "Especially when there is no need to do it. The money realized from the Marvin place surely ought to be enough for any cash payment upon a new place, up to half of thei price we ought to pay." Over Dicky'* face stole the same embarrassed flush I had seen when his mother asked him for the money. “You've got a woman's Idea of money!" be snorted. "Remember there was a mortgage to pay out of that monty." I was glad indeed to have Katie’s knock on the library door to save me the necessity of an answer. For there was fast growing In my heart the conviction that something was wrong with our finances, and I needed time to determine what I should do. Motor to Fremont.
