Advice to the Lovelorn ; 0 - ' Love Comes Unbidden and, "To Love" or Not We Are No More Free Than the Ripple to Rise and Leave 1 the Sea." . By BEATRICE FAIRFAX ', Three Girls. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: . We are three chums and are 15. U and 17. All of us are quite popular. Are we too young to go with boys? Is it proper for girls of If to go td dances? Are serge dresses all right to wear to dances while it is still cool? What length should we wear our dresses, as we are about : the same age? Should we wear high - heels and silk hose? Are suits too old for us? Would a cape be sult- able for a 14-year-old girl? i Could you tell us some of the latest popular songs? '. Thanking you in advance, we re i,main, GWENDOLYN BAILEY. MARGARET MORRIS, i ' ' KATHRYN ANDREWS, t P. 8. Answer in The Bee as soon - as possible, as we are all anxious to hear from yoiff Also what things should a girl have in her hope chest? It depends' upon the kind of dances you attend. Yes, serge dresses are alt right while the weather is cool. ' Paris is stilt In short skirts, but America seems to have adopted" the : long, tight, uncomfortable skirts. Therefore, wear your skirts to please yourself. If you can afford high heels and silk stockings I should say .- wear them they are pretty. It you ' like suits be careful to pick the youthful models with high waist line. Girls, 14 years old, are wear ing capes, and some of them are . quits becoming. Hope cheats are filled with those things nearest the , heart of the girl. I. Because girls' taste vary, there Is no rale for hope : chests. , I Just Friend. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I have written to you before, but as I didn't see my letter In print will write to you again and I hope that ' this will find a place in your good "Advice to the Lovelorn." Now, Miss Fairfax, I am going to be true with you end am going to tell you Just how matters stanM with : me and I want you to please give me your advice. I got acquainted with a boy about four years ago and have been corre- 1 spondlng with him for about two years until Just this last January. He sent me an expensive gift for Christmas and I sent him a small gift and my picture in return. Since then he sent me his picture and I wrote back and thanked him for it Well, Miss Fairfax, he never an swered that letter and I don't know ' Why. Can you give me any reason? I have seen him once since he quit writing and he waved and laughed (as we weren't close enough to speak). I am not in love with any one, so am hot worrying much about ' It, although I would like to know why he quit writing. I have lots of both girl and boy friends, but none that have treated me with as much respect as this one. Was it all right to wave back to him when he waved first? What is good to take cold sores off of your lips? When a couple of boys (stran gers) ask you your name, should you tell them? How is my writing? Good, fair or , worse? ' . Will close for this time, hoping to see this In print as soon as possible, as ever. CAT EYES. The boy evidently eojoyed your letters. In the meantime, no doubt, someone came Into hi) life whom he loved. Because he loves someone else (it he does) I see no reason why he should not be friendly with you and wave and smile- If you are not in love with him why not consider cease to worry. Use camphor for . fever blisters. You should not be talking to strangers then there would be no occasion to give your name. ': t .'. , Unpopular Girlie, -Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am a girl of 18. I am a sophomore and -get very good grades. Now, do you think a girl of 16 should be un happy because she is not popular among the boys? Well, I really am unhappy. Now, no one likes to have a good time better than I do and I kuiiio i rum a gooa iamuy, ana my people are very popular. Why can't I be? Now, the girls I go with every day and go to the same par ' ties I do, seem to have a fine time : and they go with the very best boys In town. I have Just as good a repu tation aa they and I try my very best to be friendly and a lady .wherever I am. Now, Miss Fairfax, it nearly breaks my heart to think that some body that I really care for won't pay any attention to me at all. I could go with boys that are not my kind, but never Vill I do that -1 am considered good looking, but no raving beauty. I live in the country. Do you think that would keep the boys from wanting to take me home from parties?

Now, ' Miss Fairfax, please answer as soon as possible, for I really in tend to follow your advice, as I am a dally reader of the "Advice to Lovelorn' RETA. Be thankful that your head la not being turned by popularity. Many girls who enjoy this attention while In her 'teens regret the fact in later years. Too much flattery ruins a girl's perspective and builds for her the wrong foundation for future life. Remember that fate has your life all planned and whatever is, is best : , , , - A Fist Fight. Dear Mr. Fairfax: I am in great trouble. There was a fellow in my town going with a nice young girl and he was getting along very nice ly until I got acquainted with her and took her out car riding a cou ple of times. It made him sore and he told me If I took her again he would lick me. The next Saturday ' night I took her again. The next time I met him he asked me if I forgot what he told me. I said nq. He pulled off his coat and started at me. I knocked him down and beat him up. A friend of his told me that he wouldn't be able to see out of one eye any more and that I broke his nose, and that he was going to sue me for damages. Now was it my fault or his? And can he get damages? Your friend, CHARLEY. If he started the trouble he? Is to blame and can get no damages. Movie Ambitions Dear Miss Falrtax: I am coming to you to ask, if you can tell me of such a school as I want to go to. I want to be in the movies Or on the stage, and I want to know if there Is any school you can go to that teaches acting, or dancing for the stage. I am called a very good dancer and can dance on my toes. I have Just such large eyes as you see some of the "stars", have, and am full of life. Can cry any minute or laugh. Well, I think that's enough about myself.' But can. you tell me of such a jschool of "instructions," you might say? Please do not print my letter, but Just your answer. Thanking you, I sign myself, "APRIL." Be calm, dear heart, be calm. Watch for the experiences and ad vice of movie actresses, which will ibe printed in the Woman's Section of The Bee from time to time. Write to me three months henee If you still have movie ambitions. Losing Her Hair, Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I have read your splendid advice to others and I hope you can answer w questions. I am a girl, aged 15H. Miss Fairfax, I , had smallpox a short time ago, about there months past, and had quite a good many in my hair. I asked the doctor if my hair would come out. He said it wouldn't, as I hadn't much fever; but it is, and, as I haven't loads of it, I can't afford to lose much. Have you anything that would prevent my hair from coming out? If so, what will make it grow ? Miss Fairfax, I am in ttie eighth B in one of Omaha's public schools and find algebra a most trying sub ject Can you give me any advice about it My hair is very short How should I wear it? DELLA. Why not have your hair cut? You are Just a little girl, and while your hair Is coming out this will not only strengthen the roots, but will look better. , Loss of hair Is not serious, after a fever, as it usually comes in heavier than before. Algebra Is hard for me, too.
