Can you give mo ton reasons why cohimbino should be a national flower? WAITING, Manti, Utah. I do not know as you would exactly exact-ly y the following were reasons why the columbine should be a national na-tional flower, but they are reasons for recommending its cultivation. Jt is among the most beautiful and popular of all hardy plants; it can bo used to advantage in half shady places; thero are thirty different varieties; var-ieties; it doca wclltn almost all climates; cli-mates; for its profusion of phowy blossoms; for its delicate foliage; its graceful form of blossoms; its rich variation of colors and' last but not least it is beautiful, for rockeries. I hopo this will help you though I find I have given only nine reasons. Perhaps you can furnish the tenth. Dear Miss Brooks: I have been reading your corner and as you have helped others I thought may bo you could answer my questions. When walking along with a boy is it proper for tho girl to take the boy's arm, or Jhe boy to take the girl's arm? Also, when two girls aro walking with one J?oy should the boy walk between tke two girls-? When an engaged girl is embroidering embroider-ing her linen should she put her initials ini-tials aa'"they now are, or as they will be after she is married? Thanking you sincerely, I am, yours truly, LTJCILE, Cove, Ore. A girl should always take a boy's arm, never the reverse. A boy should never walk between tw girls, but oa the Bide which will afford them the greatest protection from obstacles and danger. The initials of a girl's maiden name should always be used in preparing pre-paring her trousseau. Dear Miss Brooks: Would you please answer this question ques-tion which I have been trying to get for sometime. I would liko to have tho address of one or more film producers. pro-ducers. Thanking you for your trouble, trou-ble, I shall be your friend, HELEN S., Utah. I am not just sure whether you wish the addresses of film producers or motion picture prodaccrs. LThe Eastman East-man Kodak Company, whose address is Rochester, New York, are producers of most of the films used. LThe Universal Uni-versal Film Corporation, 16D0 Broadway, Broad-way, New York City; the Metro Pictures Corporation, 1540 Broadway, New York City, and the Vitagraph Co., Inc., 469 Fifth Ave., New York City, are all big producers of motion pictures. Dear Miss Brooks: I hopo that I will be welcome to join your cozy corner. I have a question ques-tion to ask you. Do you know of a good play about fourteen girls could play in?

AN INQUIRER, Moroni, Utah You cannot make finger-nails pink except by the use of pink powder or paste when manicuring the nails and of course thjs doca not Jeave any lasting color. Glycerine and lemon juice with rosi water and a few drops carbolic acid well blended makes a mild blench. I have been unable to find th words of the song "Sweet Adeline." I crimps some reader may have the song and Bend us the words nnd then we will glndly publish them. Dear Mis-? Brooks: I am interested in your corner for I always turn there first, to read the splendid advice yon give the girls. Could you please tell me what would be correct for a girl to say to the young man she is going with, when he wants to kiss her goodnight, nnd not make him offended Or would it he better to let him kiss her goodnight? good-night? Thnnking you for the mnnv pood things I have learned from your corner. cor-ner. BLQNT), Darlington, Idaho. The correct thing to say to a young man when he is merely a friend and has naked the privilege of kissing you, is that he has not shown you the proper respect nnd (ht nn unology Ih due you You should let him know at once that vou do not nllow yonr younr men friends those libcrtis nt all.

B., Richfield, Ida. 1 Place 'your knife on tho left slds because it would ho cxtrcmoly awkward awk-ward for a left-handed person to have his knife on the right hand, just as it would be to reverse the situation with a right handed person. . There seems to be some question in regard to which is the prop6r position posi-tion for a yeung man to take when walking with two girls. Several good authorities claim that he should walk on tho aldo where he can best protect pro-tect the girls, but I find the preponderance prepond-erance of opinion is that ho should walk between the .girls, whero he can protect them equally; so I think I shall reverse my opinion which I have heretofore given and say that a man should always walk between two 'girls and not at the side of on of them. This seems to bo the up-to-date ruling. Simply say that you do not care to go to the party or whatever affair it mar be. Your friend will 'doubtless understand and not persist in Ills attentions. at-tentions. Dear Miss Brooks: I've boon very interested in your corner (Between Yoiv and Mo.) I have two questions which have been puzzling me for some time. Here's hoping you con help mo out First, Is it proper for a girl 17 years old to go with a boy the samo ago? Second, Sec-ond, I had a severe cold about three weeks ago, which settled in my cars, leaving me hard of hearing. Both my cars feel like they aro closing up. What would you advise me to do for them. Thanking you in ndvnnco, I am, AN INQUIRER from Utah. The fact that the boy is the same age as the girl does not make it improper im-proper for them to go together. As for the ears you should consult con-sult a physician, or better still a specialist, spe-cialist, if the condition continues. I cannot advise as to tho physical health of niy readers. Dear Miss Brooks: When a young man thanks a lady for a dance should sho say anything? L. H, Spanish Fork. It is not necessary for a lady to say anything when a man thnnks her for a dance, although it would not be Improper for her to say she lied cn-ioyed cn-ioyed the dance. |
