Thanking you for your advice, I am as before, a member of your corner, LEXIE. You are very sensible in your con-elusion. con-elusion. It Ib not possible for a girl to do good work in school nnd be out lata nt night, so I would explain this very carefully to the young man and I am sure ho will see your aido of it. If not you had better sacrifice his friendship rather than let him be a handicap to your school work. Dear Miss Brooks: I greatly enjoy reading "Just Between Be-tween You and Me," and I wonder if you could tell me how to pod peas. It takes so long to shell them by hand. Hope this isn't too much trouble. trou-ble. Wishing you great success with your corner, L- A. W., Wyo. If the peas are perfect, without insects in-sects of any sort, you may wash carefully care-fully and put them in n kettle of wator wa-tor and ns tiiey boil the pods will oVon, allowing tho peas to scttlo to the bottom, tho pods remaining on top to be skimmed off. Denr Miss Brooks: Will you pleaso send me the name und address of tho person that wanted tho words to the song that gpea thus: "I've loved you always, I havo been true, my heart doth cat for no one but you."

Thanking you very much, with oodles of btfat wishes, I am, JUST A MERE FRIEND, West Point, Utah. (1) The article mentioned is absolutely ab-solutely harmless to the hnir or scalp. (2) "Blood and Sand" is Rudolph Vol-cntino's Vol-cntino's latest picture. Lila Lee and Nita Naldl are starring with him in this picture. (3) Your song can be pur-chased pur-chased in the music shops for forty cents, so will have to refer you to them, as space forbids printing only such songs as are difficult to obtain.

We can place only a limited amount in each week and if wo have your name we can send your roply in a personal letter. The dictionary defines friend as "One loving or attached to another; an intimate acquaintance; a favorer." This same dictionary defines sport as "One who wears ostentatiously in public; as, to sport a watch or cane; to have a certain manner; ns, to sport a smile; one who spends lavishly." So a true friend brings to our mind one who Is willing and glad to assist you in any way possible, through prosperity pros-perity or reverses, in health and in sickness; one who comes into your home and somehow seems to "fit in" and you liko to see them come; one with whom you can exchange confidences, confi-dences, knowing it will bo held sacred. A sport brings to mind one who dresses dress-es conspicuously, is boisterous in his actions, spends money freely on those things which make a show and whose friendship is fleeting. How often we havo hoard the expression "Oh, be a sport!" meaning, do the during, expensive expen-sive thing, the thing which, in most instances our hotter wlf tells us is not proper or safe to do.
