My Dear Miis Brooks : I am a itrsnicer in "Your Corner" but am st.-anKers welcome too 7 (1) I ,m Bev(nt(J Vise Brooka. and J don't know how to act around boys, to make a hit with them.

Thanking you for your time and information, I am, TAM, Logan, Utah. Yea. indeed you are welcome. (1) lm Clad you are not popular with the class of boys you mention, and the fact that you Uilnk you are not. indicates you really do not art to act in such a manner to the boys, or risk to be treated like they doubtless treat nth sirls. There are boys and boys, with varisrf dispositions as regards their Hkea and dls. likes, and there is a wide difference of opinion opin-ion an to what constitute a "good time" bat let me tell you dear girl, that the boys and ffirls who act as you have described, to not know what n pood ttme Is and will know less about it as the years go by. A "dora care" air is not a good one to cultivate jurt be yourself. Be jolly, good natured and chm-ful chm-ful and above all be reserved around Hie boys, in-so-far that you impress th with the fact that you will not for ons moment tolearte the slightest improper treatment treat-ment from them. You are individual, and you must have in mind an ideal of the sort of people you wish to attract to you and when you have gained such friends you have admirers who respect, love and esteem yon. (2) Just tell the young man you have to go in. and then do so. Then do not go home with him again.

(2) Your friend seems to employ very rude tactics is attempting to draw your friends away from you. 1 believe you had better have a eon- ; fidential talk with her, and see jUBt what res, ons she has for acting in such a manner. You will at least have an understanding, anil will know better how to conduct yourtelf i toward her in the future.

A BOY FROM DIXIE f It seems to be much easier to form had habits than to overcome them, does it not? Exercising will power is the beet way o overcome a bnd habit. If you seem to do it. unconsciously, ask your friends and other members of your family to call your attention to it. Putting cayenne pepper under the tail sometimes helps. As soon as they are long enough, keep them smooth with a file, so there will be no temptation to "even" them with the teeth. (21 "Mother Shipton" as a reputed English peasant, believed to be a witch and prophetess. She was first heard of in 1641. Among her best known prophecies, prophe-cies, was those in which she said that "carriages "car-riages without horses shall go" and that men wouid bo seen in the air,, also that "the world to an end would com-, in IrSl."
