Tlease an- t swer a question for me. (1) Sometime f ago I heard a lady sing; a song which 'U was very beautiful. 1 do not know th ' j, title. It started like this: "A passing policeman found a llttl child. : IBhe walked beside him, dried her tears S I and smiled. ; iSald he to her kindly, 'Now you must not cry, 3, I will find your mamma for you by and by.'" .

Dear Miss Brooks: May I enter your busy little corner? You always seem willing, whatever the question may be. Will you kindly answer an-swer this question for me? Maybe you will think I am foolish for asking such a question. Can you explain the games of Five Hundred and Bridge? Now dear, do not bother to answer both questions this time. I will wait for one of them until next time. Wishing you the best of health and happness, MRS. J. B., I'rovo, Utah. Surely you may come, and I am very glad to have you with us. No, I think It perfectly all right for you to ask any question you wish, this Is what my corner cor-ner la for, and I will do my very best to answer. But, my dear lady, should I print full Instructions for these games so It would really be of assistance to you In playing the games, there would be room for little else here, so now I am going to ask you to let me send you a little book of Hoyle which fully explains ex-plains every card game played today. Or better still, you may be able to get this In your book stores at home. The price Is 25 cents. Is this satisfactory? Dear Miss Brooks: (1) We are very much In need of your advice. Is It proper for girls of our age, from 12 to 14, to go without a chaperons chap-erons to a dance In the evening? (2) What Is the name of the latest dancing step? Wishing you bushels of buccess, we remain, SMILES, DIMPLES, CURLY-LOCKS CURLY-LOCKS and BEAUTY. Mayfleld, Utah. I hope you will be as anxious to accept ac-cept my advice as you seem sincere In asking It. (1) I cannot and do not approve ap-prove of girls your age going to a public pub-lic dance at all, my dear girls, and I earnestly advise you not to do so, and under no circumstances should you go without being accompanied by some older member of your family father, mother, or brother. (2) The latest dance I am at all familiar with Is the Frisco Walk and the Scandal Walk. These are but parodies of the Fox Trot. Diar Miss Brooks: This is the first time I have written to you, and hope It will be a success Please answer the following questions. (1) I am a boy of fourteen. Is It proper to take a girl home from a party, dance, etc.? (2) Is It proper to play kissing games at a party? Thanking you very much, I remain, GIRL CRAZY, Logan, Utah. Your letter was a success Insofar as It has reached me safely, and now for a successful answer. (1) My dear boy, you may see that a girl reaches home sfifely from a neighborhood party perhaps, per-haps, but you are not attending "dances, etc.," are you? If so Hint is not proper When you are old enough to go to these places, escort a girl there, but I hope by that time there will be no girls who go alnnr, whom you can take home. (2) Absolutely not. There are many other games to be played which are much more wholesome and Interesting to all cencerned. DAWN. Fmlthfield, Utah,: In the song "Comrades," this one Is all I found Do you think this Is the one you wished? COMRADES Wt, from childhood, played together my dear comrade Jack and I, Ws would fight each other's battles, to each other's aid we would fly, And In boyish scrapes and troubles you would find us everywhere: Where one went the other follow'd, Naught could part us for we're Chorus "Comrades, comrades, ever alnce we were boys; fharlng each other's sorrows, Pharlng each other's Joys. Comrades when manhood wsa dawning, fal'hful whate'er might betide; When danger threatened my Jolly old Comrade was there by my side." When Just budding Into man hood, I yearned for a soldier's life. Night and day I dreamed of glory, longing long-ing for the battle strife; I sMd. "Jack. I'll be a soldier, 'ncath the Red, White and Blue. Oocd-by, Jack." said he, "No, never. If you go then I go too for we're, Chorus I efillated. Jack came with me and ups and downs we shared. For a time our lives were peaceful but nt lenirth war wns derlnred England's Flag had been Insulted, we were onlered to the front, And the regiment we belong'd to had to heir the battle's brunt, we were Chorus T'NK ROSE. Clear Like, Utsh: I canfot give you the address desired. wl'I'out first hsvlng your name, at lenf. Read rules carefully at heiid of rol.imn. so you may not he dlnappolnted whev you write your next letter. Dear Miss Brooks: H'pe we are welcome to enter your cnrnr. We think It Is very Interesting Will you please answer the following questions for us? (1) Is It proper to mine home from a dunce, or any other entei 'alnnient. with a bov when he did not take you there? Nearly all the grli 1 In our home town do this, and If you don't the boys sav, "We don't care, there are plenty of girls that will." We are fifteen years old. (2) What colors would you suagest for a girl to dress In who has medium brown hair and fair ekln and blue eves, and girl with black hair, far skin and blue eyes? Also, what style would you suggest for a fleshy girl to wear? ? Thanking you in advance, we are, . KATE AND DUPLI-KATE, Dixie. You are welcome, girls. (1) And now If you have been reading my corner cor-ner carefully you will see I have been ; very emphatic In my advice that girls j should not go to public places of amuse- j ment when as young as you are, and regardless of age, to never go alone, but with an older brother, father, or some older member of your family. Your question shows the truth of this very plainly. Boys of this age do not know how to treat a girl In a gentlemanly gentle-manly way, It seems, and a girl who attends a public dance unattended by a proper escort, places herself In a position posi-tion to be treated disrespectfully by these boys. Do you not see this now? I am glad you hare at least bad the courage of your convictions and refused to accept their escort home. If mora girls would do this, the boys would soon be acting quite differently. (2) As I have answered your first question at some length, I will refer you to last week's paper for colors suitable to the complexions described. A stout figure should favor the long, straight line and avoid a definite waist line or trimming which encircles the figure. Dear Miss Brooks: I have been reading some of ths letters let-ters written to you and was very Interested Inter-ested In the answers given and would like very much If you could publish the song, "Bury Me Not on a Lone rralrle," and give me the address of Miss Esther Gray. Wishing you success, suc-cess, I am, your FRIEND, from Garland. Utah. I am glad to know you find my corner cor-ner Interesting. (1) Yours Is the second sec-ond Inquiry I have had for this song, but as yet I have not located It. If I do so will be glad to print It. (2) It will be necessary for me to know more about whd the Esther Grey Is you wish to find, In order to help you. Tell me more about her the next time you write, and be sure to send your name also. Dear Miss Brooks: May I ask a question that Is troubling troubl-ing me very much? (1) I have been going with a girl for over a year. I am 23 and she Is 20. She Is a very nice girl In every way, only she Is Inclined In-clined to be slouchy. ffhe never looks well-dressed In anything, and at their home everything Inside and out Is topsy-turvy. My mother and sisters were always neat and kept a clean house. Do you think I could be happy with a wife of that kind? I have Joked her sometimes some-times on their living conditions, and she seems to think they were O. K. (2) In order for one to be a stenographer stenog-rapher Is It necessary to understand shorthnnd? PUZZLED. Tarowan. Utah. (1) This would be a hard question for me to decide for you. It Is possible, perhaps, that the lovableness of her character and disposition would mnke the conditions you mention bearable, hut I am rather Inclined to think that so long as you have not been accustomed accus-tomed to these conditions, they would he a constant Irritation to you In your own home and might be the cnuse of serious trouble between you. The very fact that It Is a source of annoyance to you now, when you are perhaps ss blind to her shortcomings as you will ever be, does not argue well for your future happiness with her. You are the only one, however, who can tell Just how much of this manner of living you could endure without becoming Irritable Irrit-able about It. and you could not hope that she would he any different In her own home,. (2) To be a stenographer It Is necessary to know shorthand. It Is sometimes possible to get a position where the use of the typewriter Is all that Is required, but these are comparatively com-paratively few. Dear Friend: We have been Intereated In your corner, cor-ner, "Just Between You and Me." and would thank you very much If you would answer a few questions for us (1) Would It be proper to take a girl home from a dance If you did not take her there? (2) ttow Inte should a con-pie con-pie stay up at night? (.1) What Is the proper ere for hovs to go out with girls? (4) What sre some of the latest lat-est dnnc pieces? Wishing you much success In vour work, we remain. DOODLE Bt'O AND ST'IDFR. Washington. Utah (1) No, this Is not proper. If you sre old enough to attend a dance, you should take a partner and the girls should not go without an escort. (2) Mv dear bovs. this depends entirely upon conditions and the persons, but ten-thirty or eleven Is as late as any voung person should be up. Ct) Girls should not go with hovs under sixteen years of age, and hoys should be that old at least (4) Among the late dsnee music Is "Runnln Wild."
