' , Mu Dear Miss Brooks: I have a question that has been bothering both-ering me for a long lime, and today I read some of the questions you had answered and I thought you would be able to answer mine for me. How should you lake an introduction to a man? Should you offer your hand? And what should you say? Also if a young man invites you home from a oarly or church and the family are still up, should you say goodbye on the. porch or invite him in ? Hoping to have an answer soon, I am, forever your affectionate, GRACE, Logan. It would all depend on circumstances as to whether you should invite your friend in after the theater or party. If the hour is not late it would be perfectly proper to ask him in while your family is still up. If the greater part of the evening has been spent at a dance or entertainment, he would not, of course, accept an invitation to go in. Young girls do not usually offer their hand upon receiving an introduction. A pleasant smile, a slight bow, repeating repeat-ing his name, is all that is necessary. Dear Miss Brooks: I have dutch cut hair and would like to know which is the most injurious injur-ious to the hair wire curlers or curling irons. Would you also tell me a good method for keeping the curl in my hair during damp weather? INQUIRER. Idaho. A curling iron is more injurious to use on your hair than any other method of curling it. There are curlers on the market now that are made of some sort of fabric, which are excellent for doing the hair up on. However, if yu do not care to get these, a good substitute sub-stitute is to use either strips of cloth, or, better still, tissue paper, and roll the hair under on these strips. To keep the hair in curl, about the only thing to do is to secure a good curling fluid. Both this fluid and the curlers above mentioned may be had in the shops here if you are unable to secure them in your local shops. Should you wish to know where to send for them, write me again and I will gladly give you this information. 1 hope this letter will be of help to you. Write again. Dear Miss Brooks: I am going to ask V0UT opinion on a question which has been bothering me lately. It is, "Should I dance?" All of the young people around here go to dances but mother does not want me to go because she thinks they are not good places for young folks. I am a boy in high school and am allowed to go to the roller skating and other amusements. amuse-ments. I do not wanl to go against the wishes of my mother but I hold thai a dance is only harmful if you make it so. Thank you. If it does not lake up too much room, please let me tell how I admire "Alone" of Idaho Falls, who wrote to you last lime. I say that without a doubt, although the other girls seem more popular, she, if she realized it, is the most respected. JUST A WONDERER of Idaho. I like your letter, Wonderer. It sounds to me like the letter of a very nice boy who wants to do right as nearly near-ly as he can. Of course, my dear, it depends a great deal upon what sort of dances these are to which you refer, re-fer, but from the fact that you ask about it I infer that they must be public dances, which are often quite questionable question-able affairs, and places where a moth- er surely wouldn't wish her young daughter to go, and if they are not good for the daughter, neither are they good for the son. Or course one can conduct oneself decently anywhere, and one might even have a good influence in a questionable place; but I think personally that it does no one any good to appear in such places, though I have nothing against dancing that is RIGHT dancing, which doesn't include in-clude the exaggerated jazzy kind which is so undeservedly popular at the present pres-ent time. Have a nice little talk, with mother and tell her you have no desire to indulge in the latter kind, and that you intend to conduct yourself as she would wish you to, and I feel sure she will fall in line with your wishes. Of course, while you are still in high school and busy with your studies, such things must be indulged in very moderately i anyway. I hope this may help you and j would like to hear how you come out. Dear Miss Brooks: I When a lady and gentleman are dining together at a cafe or hotel, and the lady should accidently drop her fork, i proper that she, the gentleman, gentle-man, or the waiter should pick i' "P-3 |
