Dear Miss Brookjr: I am quite pleased with the answers an-swers you have been giving other people's questions so I thought I would ask you one. What is the proper way to ask a girl to dance with you? Thanking you very kindly, A BOY, Milford, Utah. "Thanks for your complimentary words, Boy. If you are at a dance where dance programs are used simply sim-ply say, "May I put my name down for a two-step, (or whatever tha dance may be which you wish) Miss Brown?" or, "Number five is not taken, tak-en, may I have It?" If there are na cards, find the lady you wish to dance with and say: "May I have this dance with yon, Mlas Smith?" If she is already engaged for that one ask her for the next one. Miaa Anne M.

Dear Miss Brooks: I, like my friend, am seeking advice. ad-vice. , The boys in this town that my friends and I go with are -nice but we do not care to go with them; but as there are no others, what are we to do? Sincerely yours, HOPE, Driggs, Idaho. Yours is a hard problem, sure enough. The boys are nice but you do not care to go with them, yet there are no others. It would seem that you would have to do one of three things either import some other boys or deport yourselves to some place where there is a different brand of boys or just make the best of the present situation. And now, really, don't you think the latter is the best plan? You say you have some nice boys in your town. I take it by that, that they treat you with respect nnd are as a whole a decent, respectable lot of boys, which is speaking very well for them indeed. Any gjrl should be proud to know boya of that sort, so why not continue to go with them and enjoy yourselves as best you can? No doubt you are young and your interest or work may take you to some other place later when you may meet some one who seems to measure up more to your ideal. I hope I hare hn able to help you solve your problem. pro-blem. Dear Miss1 Brooks: I have been so interested in your corner and your clever answers that I decided that I would like to become one of your flock, as I am always getting into trouble. However, it is not trouble this time but just a case of vanity. Now my dear Miss Brooks could you please tell me what to do for arms that are bony and brown to make them rounding and white., also a bony neck and shoulders? Please don't think I'm a paint and powder beauty seeker for I'm not. Natural beauty is the only kind I admire. Hoping this is not much trouble and thpnking you very much, I am, yours with love, VIOLET, Utah. I am delighted to welcome you to my corner. Come often and I will do my best ploaxe you. I will have to ask you as I do so many of the girla, to aend your name and a stamped envelope and I will send you a list of very dependable toilet articles which will surely en hance your natural beauty which is th- nly kind any one really admires, I believe. D"" Miss Brooks: Will you pleaae tell me if a picture painted by Falchetti a of any valve? Is he a noted artist or not? Thanking you in advance, VERV. Salina. Utah. I have searched diligently and find r-n rrt'xt listed by the name of "Falchetti," "Fal-chetti," so I take it he is not of e-rMiirh e-rMiirh note to make a painting by him of any great value. Dear Miss Brooks: There is a nice looking young man who haa been paying a lot of attention atten-tion to me. lie does not love me, I am sure, but I do not know why he comes to see me so often. What shall I do? If it does not take up too much-room please let me tell you how I admire "Just a Wonderer" of Idaho. I say that without a doubt he is a very fine boy who does not wish to go against his mother's wishes. wish-es. Respectfully, B. E., Colorado. Surely this nice looking young man does not have to be In love with you in order to come to see you, does he? He probably comes to see you because be-cause he enjoys your company and admires you, and just so long as he continues to be nice to you and you. enjoy his friendship why worry about whether he is in love with you or not. "Just a Wonderer" from Idaho will no doubt be very glad to know we all admire the stand he takes. Dear Helen Brooks: I have Just found your cozy corner cor-ner and think It is very interesting. Here are three questions1 I have been wanting to know a long while. 1. My boy friend is going away and wants me to write to him. Is it proper for the boy to write first or the 'girl? My girl chums think I should not write until he does and so do L 2. Why is vanishing cream harmful harm-ful to the complexion? ' 3. Where did the name Yankee originate? t f Thanking you very ldndly'for your trouble. BROWN EYES, Murray, Utah. I welcome you to my corner, Brown Eyes. You and your chums are right. Do not write until you hear from him. The main objection to the continuous contin-uous nse of vanishing cream is that it is very drying in its effects. The word Yankee is commonly considered con-sidered to be the correct pronunciation pronuncia-tion of the word English or of the Frtnch .word Anglais by the native Indians of America. According to Thierry, a corruption of Jankin, a diminutive of John, and a nickname given to the English colonists of Connecticut Con-necticut by the dutch settlers of New York. Dr. W. Gordon (History of the American War ed. 1789) says it was a favorite cant word in Cambridge, Mass, as early as 1713, and that it meant excellent; as, a Yankee good horse, Yankee good cider, etc. A nickname nick-name for a native or citizen of New England, especially one descended from old New England stock. By extension, ex-tension, an Inhabitant of the Northern states as distinguished from a Southerner. South-erner.
