Definitely. It will be reassuring to your daughter and to other girls who suddenly shoot up tall in their early years to know that their fast growing days are over. Studies show that girls incline to "shoot tip" from ages to to 13.

I have never interviewed I fall girl who didn't make the state- ment. "l've been'tall since I was 12."

The self - uiustiousncss about height at age 12 stems froin the fact that the boys do not start growing tall until later. Their last- est growing years are from 14 to 11 or 18.

I don't knowl what to do. i

You see Jay is the only boy II have ever really gone with. though I've had one or two dates: with a couple of other boys. he is the only boy I've ever kissed good- night. So I feel I shouldn't becomel engaged; that I haven't had enoug social experience to know if he is

I am quite attractive sayl. school. I won many honors. but it just seemed that the boys didn't care to date me much. And my folks never wanted me to go out much either. It seems they were against me in everything as far back as I can remember. sisters went out I good deal before they married: and my brother tyounger) always had much more freedom. too.

IS SHE MISLED?

Certain girls in school seemed so jealous of everything I got that for a time I didn't care whether I finished school or not. Now these jealous girls are working in this town with me; while my friends. the girls I ran around with. are either in college or working In I larger city. So maybe I love Jay because I am lonesome as I live on I farm and don't meet as many new people as I might if I lived in town. -

My folks like him very mtich and I do. too; but I feel that I am tying myself down too soon, that I haven't 'ved enough yet to settle down. Should I wait and see how the engagement works out?
