So Easy to Have Lovely Hair The undertones of beautiful hair glow with rich, radiant color; fleeting, brilliant flashes shimmer in the high lights. Its tresses are soft, silky, snarless and easily arranged. People say, “Oh! What lovely hair! Isn’t it beautiful!’’ If that’s the kind of hair you want, you can have it — today! But you will have to do something more than just wishing and shampooing to get it. The right shade of Golden Glint will set free the true beauty of your hair as silver polish reveals the true luster of silver or as bluing brings out the true whiteness of linen. Golden Glint rinses come in 12 shades. They are harmless, quick and easily removed. Why not have beautiful hair today? Get a 10c or 25c package now from variety or drug store. GOLDEN GLINT The only thing to do is to accept the ruling of this boy's parents. I agree with you that if he loved you sincerely — and if he were a resourceful type of human being — he would stand by you and would find some way of persuading his parents that they were wrong in their viewpoint. It would be wise to face this fact now: That if in the first emergency of your lives this boy is guided by his parents instead of having confidence in his own judgment, the many emergencies which arise in marriage would probably be solved by his parents and not by the two of you as a partnership. At nineteen I strongly suspect that you, yourself, are somewhat too young for marriage. The man a girl admires at nineteen seldom possesses the qualities she admires when she is twenty-four or twenty-five. Please don't grieve over this situation, as your best hope of future happiness is served by finding out now that you could not rely on your fiance when you needed him. Claudette Colbert Dear Miss Colbert: I am thirteen years old and I am terribly unhappy at home. For one thing, I hate the town in which we are now living. I have talked to my mother about moving to somewhere else, but she simply tells me to be contented, that this is the best place for us now. Another thing: Since my mother married for the second time she has been devoting all her time to my stepfather. She cooks his favorite dishes and talks to him at table and goes to the movies with him at night. She seldom pays any attention to me. When I interrupt and try to tell her something about my school work she scarcely pays any attention to me. I have seriously thought of running away. Do you think that would help the situation, or that it would bring my mother to her senses? Nanette B. AT LAST! A HAND CREAM % THAT HELPS KEEP HANDS SOFTER, SMOOTHER . • . AND IS NOT STICKY — / know that each of us considers himself to be the most important person in the world. However, the intelligent human being of every age must face the fact that others have rights, too. From your letter I would judge that your mother and your stepfather are deeply in love. Instead of being jealous you should exult in your mother's happiness. It should please you to realize that someone finds in her the sweetness that you also admire. You tvill find a great deal of happiness when you learn to consider the rights of other people. I don't think I need to close this letter with an admonition against your running away. That would be the unkindest thing in the ivorld you could do to your mother and it would bring you much shame and unhappiness. Claudette Colbert NOT GREASY! Luxor contains Carbamide, the ingredient long familiar to surgeons, which helps relieve the tiny cracks and scratches that make hands Look red, feel rough! Dear Miss Colbert: Four and a half years ago, when I was sixteen, I was introduced to a sailor named Bob. Because I was so young at the time my mother did not permit me to go out alone with Bob, but he was frequently invited to our home and sometimes we went out with a group of neighborhood boys and girls. After two years overseas hp was returned to this country and stationed not far from our home. We saw each other fairly often * — but never on a real date — and then he was once again sent overseas. It has been a year since I have seen him, and I now realize that I am very deeply in love with him. He writes rather often but has never said more than that he thinks me the most respectable girl he has ever met. He has given me many nice presents but he has never said that he loved me or even liked me. My girl friends tell me that I should give him some encouragement. They say that unless I let him know how much I think of him, I may lose him altogether. Bernice V. If you are wise you will ignore your over-eager girl friends’ advice. Although you are almost twenty-one, I think you may be over-dramatizing the situation — in love with love, not with Bob. So it would be folly for you to write a letter to him in other than a friendly spirit. Even though this boy may be shy, he will have enough assurance to let you know in his own good time how much he thinks of you. Meanwhile, don’t spoil your relationship by doing something foolish and in poor taste. Claudette Colbert Dear Miss Colbert: I am a girl of eighteen who is deeply interested in a medical career. My financial status and my high school credits would make it possible for me to enter college and complete the necessary six years of medical instruction. However, my mother objects to any girl seeking a medical career. She says that no woman is capable of being a surgeon and opposes me whenever I try to discuss my future. Needless to say, she was born and reared in the old country and tells me that it is foolish to waste money on a girl’s education, as the girl simply gets married. Miss Colbert, can you suggest any way to win her over to my viewpoint? Marlowe E. I am certain that your mother truly believes she is acting for your best interests. It is true that the conscientious practice of medicine takes a severe toll of the health of even the strongest man. However, I cannot agree ivith her that giving a girl any type of education she desires is a ivaste of money. Even though a girl marries after her education is completed, the investment is by no means tvithout return. I think you might get your mother to read the story of Madame Curie which should point out to her the value that the world may derive from the skill of a dedicated woman. I do hope that if you have a true vocation you’ll be able to secure medical training. Claudette Colbert M \ 4 Have you a problem which seems to have no solution?
