"The first I saw of the battle," he said, "was when the whale churned up a field of foam that looked like a white Island In the sea. Then the big fellow spouted and leaped.

"Cireum-stanc- es alter eases" and if the circumstances were such that he had no way of receiving an Introduction to you it miirht be quite pro-per for you to daqce with him.

LisWi to this better self, r;rls. It never guides you astra. (5) Yes, if you will send a stamped enve-lop. Dear Miss Brooks : I have read "Our Corner" in the local paper and I find it not only intensely in-teresting1, but also very educational. Al-though I have never before written to you for Information, the answers you have given oth-ers seem to be perfectly satisfactory. Now, may I ask you to answer some for me if it will not interfere with your other affa'rsT (H Other than wearing eye glasBes, what is a cure for weak eyes ? (2) Is " a good face lotion? (3) Is a good hair tonic T (4) Should oxfords or other low-c- ut shoes be worn in winter (6) Is Mabel Normand married, what i her age snd ad-dress? (6) Should a girl fourteen attend pub-lic dances? I extend my advance thanks to you, Miss Brooks, for your valuable in-formation. I remain with sincere beet wishes for you, SUNSHINE, Parowan, Utah. Thank you. Sunshine, for your lovely words of praise and encouragement. (1) I would hesitate to advise any treatment for your eyes. Bathing in cold salt water is restful to the eyes. You hsd better consult an (2) I am not familiar with th lotion mentioned, so would not care to pass Judg-ment But I would advise you to be careful to use only those preparations which hav been tried end tested and have been found pure and reliable. (8) The ehampoo is good as a shampoo, but cannot say it is a good tonic. (4) It is not well to wear low-c-shoes for outdoor in winter, though. If your ankles are well protected wrth wool hoxfi many consider It is not harmful (S) Mabel Normand is not married. Her address is. Mack 8ennett Studios, Kdendaie, Calif. Mir Normand doe not give her age (5) No, it is not advisshle for g'rls to attend public dances at all, even though they are past fourteen. Dear Miss Brooks: I have been interested ta your corner and have a few questions to ask also. (1) When a fellow write to a girl whom he don's know snd wants to be her friend, should she answer or not? (2) Why should the Columbine be our national flower? Thanking you In ad-vance, I am, as ever, yours, ROSIE of Utah. (1) It would not be entirely improper for you to answer such a letter, by writing just a nice friendly letter. (2) Ther arc a num-ber of very good reasons, Rosfe, on of which is that it I a native of more state than any other wild flower, with th excep-tion, perhaps, of th golden rod : it grow and makes beautiful th moat barren soots, and flourishes in the more fertile plsces. Still an-other reason is the meaning of the flower, which is "Resolved to win." wer you I would just forget about he boys for a while as far as going out with them at all is concerned. Of course you may have boy friends. (2 Blue and gold, black and gold, red and green, purpl and orange, pink and lavender, blue and rose ar all pretty combln. ations, don't you think? (8) So much de-pends on when, where and how served, as to what to serve. A simple Csntelop Sundae with cake, during th hot weather is sufficient, or watermelon served in small balls or cubes in iced glasses, followed with a sweet of some kind and iced tea, coffee or lemonade, or a dainty sandwich and an Iced drink, followed with a plain Ice cream and cake. (4) Face powder does not harm th skin unless you use a cheap, inferior article, and you should keep your skin well cleansed with a good cream. If your powder is not too light you do not need to apply a cream before putting on your powder. Young girls usually have so little need for using powder that It is a pity to "make up," so do not be in haste to use anything. The fresh, girlish skin, is more to be desired than all th artificial beauty one can secure. Dear Miss Brooks: Are boys welcome to your corner? If so, will you please answer a few questions for me? (1) Is it proper for boys of fourteen and sixteen to go with girls ? (2) Is it propar to kiss a girl th first time you Uke her home? Some act like they wanted us to kiss them. (3) Some of the girls seem to want us to put our arm around them and love them up. Is It proper for us to do so? (4 Is it proper to set outsid with a girl during a dance? (Some of the older boys da) (5) Do you think it Is proper for girls to chew gum, especially out in public places, and what would you do to stop them? (6) What would you think if a girl refused to dance with you, then danced that same dance with another fellow? W hope this won't trouble you very much. W are sending this with one of our sisters. W. W. AND F. F. Yes, Indeed, boys ar very welcome. (1) I would say No. to your first five ouestions. Fourteen or even sixteen is too young to go with the girls regularly To take a girl to a party occasionally is all right, but not to shows dances, rides, etc. I would not culti-vate the friendship of girls such as you men-tion In your second, third, fourth and fifth questions. (6) I would be qu't apt to think she did not care to dance that dance with me, and would think, or care, no more about it It was a very rude thing to do, if she had no good excuse. Dear Miss Brooks: I hav been reading your corner for some time and as you have helped so many oth-ers, I thought you eould help me also. (1) Who Is the greatest man now living and where does he live? (2) Who is the greatest woman living and where does she live? (3) What is Edison's greatest Invention? (4) Who Is the greatest mus'cian living and where Is he living? (5) Where ran I get a book on dancing lessons? (6) VT.y are some girls so eraiy over boys ? 41) I a girl fourteen years of a?e too old tA lar with dolls? (S) What i0"1?

But neverthe-- ; less I have read it every time it has been published. And I think you and it are just wonderful, and now I am Coin; to take the privilege of asking a few questions. (1) I am seventeen and have my hair bobbed. Do you think I am too old, and should let it grow out? Can you suggest some pretty way of combing it? (2) Do you know of anything that will keep my hair in curl ? It dorsti't hold the curl over night (3) Miss Brooks, I want to work somewhere. It isn't because I have to, but because I feel like I ought to. Father has bad health and I have a guilty conscience, every time he gives, or I take any-thing from him. There's no work here and mother doesn't approve of me going out of town to work. Can you suggest anything I could do to ! make money to help out? (4) I am small for my age and naturally pretty. The only trouble is I have quite a few moles on my face. Is there anything that will take them off without leav-ing a scar? Well, Miss Brooks, I will relieve you for this time. I guess there are a lot waiting for a chance. I sure hope I may call again: I would give all I own if I could talk to you in person. Thanking you for your patience, I am as ever. JACQULINE. Notice the rules at the head of our column in regard to name and address, Jacquline. You will receive more prompt service, as I can write you personally instead of waiting your turn In the paper. (1) No, you are not too old for bobbed hair if it is becoming to you, but if not, I should let it grow out When too long to look well, curl on tissue or waxed paper, by cutting a square and laying the strand of hair in it and rolling hair and pa-per up together. When taking it down, do not comb the curl out. but arrange in the National bob style and cover them with a net. This will hold the curl in better and look very pretty, especially if your hair is thick. You can fasten the curls in the desired shape with small pins. (2) There are many curling fluids on the market, but I know of none that are very reliable, and they make the hair brittle, causing it to break off. (3) You have a worthy ambition, but are you not still in school? If you send name and address I will give you the name of a publishing house who pays a good commission for taking subscriptions for their popular maga-zines. This is very nice work and is about all I could suggest for you. You could do this after school hours and Saturdays. (4) Moles are very hard to handle. I do not know of any cure except the electric needle and even this is not always satisfactory. Call as often as you like, my dear-Wil- l gladly do all I can for you. - 5TrSVL, liRht Ixnane Jsn Paderewskl.. pianist. ;.i JT,lint ' bool 'tor in Salt Lake iJ? IT kPT' A ottm wondered myself.
