Dear Miss Brooks: I have been going with a young man for nearly ten months. I don't ! care to go out much now at night, it is getting so near school time, and I am taking a summer course. !t is too hard to go nights and go to school days. What shall I do? Thanking-1 Thanking-1 you for your advice, I am as before, a member of your corner, LEXIE.I You are very sensible in your conclusion. con-clusion. It is not possible for a girl to do good work in school and be out late at night, so I would explain this very carefully to the young man and-I and-I am sure he will see your side of it. If not you had better sacrifice his friendship rather than let him be a handicap to your school work. j Dear Miss Brooks: Nita Naldi are starring with him in this picture. (3) Your song can be purchased 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. Dear Miss Brooks: I wrote to you some time ago but received no answer, but will try it again. Will you please answer these questions for me? What is a true friend? What is a good sport? Wishing you' good luck, from your friend, POLLY, Cedar City. Do not be impatient, dear Polly. Your second letter arrived before we had reached your first. If you will read the instructions at the head of this column you will see we ask you to send your name and address, so you can receive more prompt attention. We can place only a limited amount in each week and if we have your name we can send your reply 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; as, 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 se?ms to ''fit in" and you like to see them come; one with whom you can exchanee confidences, confi-dences, knowing it will be 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 I friendship is fleeting. How often we have heard the expression "Oh. be a snort!" meaning, do the daring, expensive expen-sive thing, the thing which, in most instances our better self tells us is not proper or safe to do. Dear Miss Helen Brooks: We hope we will be allowed to en-j en-j ter "Your Corner." We are very puzzled about the following questions, I so thought we would ask your advice. ; (1) What is the meaning of the following fol-lowing names: Edna, Ira, Athens. Marget, Elma, Wavie, Geneva, Zelma? (2) What would be the best studies for a girl to take who desired to become be-come a nurse? (3) Is Constance Tal-i Tal-i mage married, and if so, to whom ?
