Box 1545. Salt Lake ( Dear Miss Brooks: I would like to know ' Eugene O'Brien is married; if so, how long has he been, has he an) children, and how many? 1 thank you. MOVIE FAN. Caliente, Nev.

I wonder how he has managed to escape so long, don't you? His birthplace is Boulder, Colorado. Write me again whenever whenev-er I can help you. My Dear Miss Brooks: 1 have a question that has been bothering both-ering me for a long time, and today I read some of the questions you had answered and 1 thought you would be able to answer mine for me. How should you take 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 party 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 lil;e 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 you do not care to get these, a good substitute sub-stitute is to use either strips of cloth, or, betU-r still, tissue paper, and roll the hair under on these strips. To keep the hair in curl, about the only thing to do is U 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. I hope this letter will be of helf to ycu. Write again. Dear Mia Brooks: I am fsoing to ask your opinion on a queslior, which has been bothering me lately. ( is, "Should I dance?" All of the yo'jng people around here go to dances hit mother does not want me to go becauie she thinks they are not good places fir young folks. I am a boy in high ichool and am allowed to go to the ( oiler skating and olhc? amusements. amuse-ments. do not want to go against the wiche: of my mother but I hold that a daw.e is only harmful if you make it so. Thank you. If it does not lake up t'-'O much room, please let me tell how I admire "Alone" of Idaho Falls, wh'i wrote to you last time. I say that without a doubt, although the other ;;7s 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 mother 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 d ancing, 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 wilh mother and tell her you have no desire to indulge in the latter kind, and thai |
