COCOANUT CREAM CANDY to you, and I have been so interested in your corner and the answers you have given others. Now I have a very serious problem before me, and I am' going to ask your advice. I am now 19 years of age, and have been keeping company with a young man for a couple of years. He now wants me to become his wife, and my parents oppose it for the simple reason rea-son he has not the financial standing they would like the man whom I should marry to have. For myself, I am perfectly satisfied. Shall I go against their wishes and marry him or not? Thanking you in advance, I am anxiously anx-iously awaiting your answer, Lovingly, DOT, Magna, Utah. This is a question on which I hesitate to give my opinion. In most cases I believe parents wis'h to give the test advice and are better able to Judge as to who is worthy of you. We must all admit that finances play a most important part in our daily life, but personally there are other qualities which I consider con-sider of greater importance. Your statement that you are "perfectly satisfied" sat-isfied" should go a long way in whatever the decision may be, but I would hesitate to advise going against your parents wishes. After all, you are young and are you both quite sure of yourselves? Could you not put it off for a year or two and then see how everyone feels about it? Whatever your decision may be, I am wishing you the greatest happiness happi-ness and success. Dear Miss Brooks: I, like a lot of other girls of today, am having much trouble with my hair.

Care, coupled with a tonic, will bring the hair out all right, I am sure. Dear Miss Brooks: I am a very interested reader ot your corner, so I hope you will find time to answer a few of the many puzzling questions that come into my mind. 1. Vtuui in this beat uui most pro -per way to answer a man when he says, "How do you do?" ((I am a girl of 12.) 2. Could you name a few games that could be played at a birthday party where only girls are invited? Thanking you in advance, I am, ever a friend, HELEN, Morgan. Utah. A girl of twelve may say "How do you do," in answer to a man's greeting, greet-ing, or she may say "I am well, how are you," or "I am fine today, how are you?" To explain a game is rather difficult, as it takes so much space. Have you played the ranie Crying Proverbs? One player leaves the room and the others (.vlcct a proverb, as "A stitch in time save nine," and each ona takes one of the words. The player who left the room returns and at n signal nil the others call out their words at the same time. From this huhbub the player from outside must dft?rmine what the proverb is.

Dear Miss Brooks: Please answer these few questions for me. If there is a boy that you like real well and he seems to pay a little more attention to another girl, than to you, what is the best thing to do? If you are engaged to one fellow and you meet another one you like a little better, would you break your engagement or keep it and not be satisfied sat-isfied with the one you have? If a boy asks you if you like him, is it best to let him know that you do, or not to let him know? Thanks for the other good information infor-mation I have had from your corner. AN INQUIRER OF UTAH. If your boy friend continues to pay more attention to another girl than he does to you, the nstural conclusion is that he cares more for her society than he does for yours, and the only thing to do is to let him go his way and you go yours. It would be very foolish to continue your engagement to one man if you really cared more for some one else, but be sure of yourself first It is by far the best plan not to let your boy friends think you care a great deal for them. Why not be juat good pals and not think too much about "like" and "love" for a while yet? You will enjoy your friends a great deal more if you do so.
