After he dancers leaving, after the stars wer gone, ; Many a heart was aching, could you but read j them all, Muny a hope had vanished, after the ball. The liphta were flashing in the grand ball room, Softly the music playing sweet tunea. There came my Bweetheart, my love, my own. I wish some water, leave me alone. When I returned, dear, there stood a man, Kissinf? my sweel heart as only lovers can, Down fell the glass, pet, broken, that's all. Just as my heart was after the ball Ixjng' years have passed, k'ar, I never wed,. True to my love lost, though she is dead, She tried to tell me, tried to explain, I would not listen, her pleadings were Id vain. One day a letter came from the man, He was her brother the letter ran, That's why I'm lonely, no home at all, I broke her heart, pet, alter the ball , 1 , Dear Miss Brooks : I have been very much interested In your corner and now am taking the liberty of asking a few questions. I think your corner corn-er is wonderful. (1) Will you please tell me if there is any cure for blushing? My folks tell me I blush entirely too much but , really I cant help It. (2) Also, how cat) I overcome my bashfulness? (3) Ia a powder powd-er harmful to a young girl's complexion 7 (4) Is a good powder ? I surely , hope I have not asked too many questions, as I may want to call again sometime. Thank, ing you I am, JACKIE, Ut (1) My dear, the only cure for blushing la to overcome self-consciousness. Do not be afraid to Inuuh or say something when in a crowd of people. You must try bravely to overcome the feeling that someone might laugh at. you or criticize you for saying or doing something. Make up your mind that you will enjoy yourself, and you cannot do so unless you "mix" with your fn'endd, that is take part in the conversation and whatever is going on. (3) Powder is not particularly harmful if you are careful to use one which loes not irritate your skin and you can find that one only by trying until you locate the one. (4) I am not familiar with the powder you mention so could not pass judgment judg-ment upon it. Dear Miss Brooks: I would like to ask you a question which has been troubling me, and I would like your advice. I am a boy of 18 years of age and have never mixed with the gentler sex to any great extent. Recently I was introduced to a girl, who made me feel as no girl has ever made me feel before. This girl seems to think that she is above my station ii life, and always treats me in a cold reserved fashion. I believe that if I could once break down the barrier that is between us, I feel confident that she would return my affection. And so I wish to ask you. is there any way by which I could get on a more intimate footing with her ? Hoping you can give me a solution to thiB problem, I am, Very Sincerely Sin-cerely yours, A TROUBLED MIND, Idaho I know of no other way than to be a perfect gentleman. Prove to her that sho is not above you, by acting at all times and place as though occupying the highest station sta-tion In life. If you are doing this I am sure you will win her. She is probably of the reserved type of girl, and "faint heart ne'er won fair lady" you know. But do not force your attentions upon her rathe let her know of your admiration for her in a more general way, until you have made an "impression." Other than this I cannot help you I am afraid. It rests upon the "personality" of you two ju3t how it will work out but here's wishinu you the best of luck. Let me know if this wee bit of advice ad-vice has been of assistance to you. Dear Miss Brooks: I read your corner every week and gain a great deal of knowledge from It. I hope my questions will not reach tho waste basket. bas-ket. (1) My complexion, especially my nose is also always red and shiny. I havo used various kinds of creams and powders. pow-ders. Would you please recommend a cream that will make the powder stay on my face and give a fair complexion to my skin. (2) What can be done to remove or reduce a brown birth mark, when it shows very plainly plain-ly on the akin? (3) How can a good ivory comb be cleaned? With oceans of success, I am, MICKEY, Utah No indeed, Mickey, your questions will be, answered to the very best of my ability. (1) I have answered this question by letter. (2) There is not much you can do with a birth mark. Some claims are made that they can be removed with the electric needle, but I would not advise you to try it. (8) Wwh your comb in snnp and water, using a mild soap. It will not harm it.

Dear Madam : Will you please answer the following questions ques-tions for me? (1) What is the highest mountain moun-tain peak in Utah ? State altitude and location. loca-tion. When was first ascent made and by whom? (2) Where in Utah is Mt. Baldy located? How hiKh is it? Is there any data aa to when the first ascent was made? Thanking Thank-ing you in advance, I remain, D. W. L.. Portland, Ore. King's Peak, having an altitude of 18,-500 18,-500 feet, with Gilbert Peak a very close second, sec-ond, are the highest mountain peaks in Utah. They are both located in the Uinta mountains between Summit and Duchesne counties. Mt. Baldy having an altitude of 11.730 feet, is in the Fillmore National Forest, in the eastern east-ern pal-t of Beaver county and is in the Parowan range of mountains. The ascent of all of these peaks have been made, but there is no data as to when, or by whom. Dear Miss Brooks : I have been reading your corner "Just Between Be-tween You and Me" and I like it very much and have received some very good answers from it, so I'm going to ask if you will please answer the following questions for me. (1) Which is best after one has finish-edthe finish-edthe eighth grade, go to high school or business busi-ness college? (2) How old should a girl be when she gets married ? (3) Is it proper to go with a younfr man who has been married but is divorced from his wife? Wishing you much success I hope to sec the answers to my questions in next week's paper. MELBA Richfield, Idaho. (1) It is best to finish high school if you possibly can. always. (2) This depends, de-pends, Melba. Do not be in a hurry. Twen-cy-one or twenty-two is quite young enough. (8) You are the best judge of this, and you ahould use very careful judgment before making mak-ing a decision. There is no way of telling who might have been at fault, other than a personal acquaintance with the interested parties, but he is open to criticism as well as his wife, and it is Mot often that one only is at fault. Dear Misa Brooks : I have read your corner for some time and have enjoyed it very much. I am writing to ask you to send me as many high school and class yells as you possibly can send me. I am in the tenth grade and would like to have as many class yells that would be appropriate appropri-ate for all occasions. Yours Truly, B.

Dear Miss Brooks : I have read your corner many times and wonder if you will kindly give advice to an older girl? I will soon be twenty-five and have gone with a fellow for six years during which he has given me the most thoughtful attention and has neveT looked at another girl. What he has told his mother and his looks when I am around shows without a doubt that he cares for me but he is naturally backward. I love him. Would it be brazen and forward fnr me tQ do the proposing. I am considerable worried over this question. Could you help me out ? Sincerely HAI.LIE.
