I have one of your songs and as another one is a very old one, am sure I will have it soon. The remaining one can be had in the shops. Doubtless you could obtain it in your home town. If you will send envelope with street address will gladly send the songs I have for you. Dear Miss Brooks: I thought I would ask you a few questions. (1) What grade should I be In If I started to school when I was seven years old? (2) How old should you be to take vocal lessons? I am thinking of taking singing lessons. From your friend, FRANCES, Idaho. And you did not notice that you were to two questions, did you, dear? limited Tour first question has been answered so times in my column I am sure if many you will, you can find it easily. (1) Ordinarily a child makes one grade a year, Frances, so if you started when you were 7 years old you should be in the ninth grade, or second year junior high. To your third and fourth questions I can but answer that I believe you are both too young to know what love is or to be thinking of marriage at all. (2) One can begin training the voice at a very early age. It would be very splendid if you could begin cultivating your voice now. I at hand. Afterward you could toast marshmallows and pop corn. As space will not permit the printing of many games my suggestion must be limited along this line. Blindfold each one in turn and place 7 lighted candles rather close together. Take the person a short distance away, turn him around a few times and tell him to go and blow the candles out. The number left burning is the number of years before he marries. For another stunt" suspend a stick about 3 feet long from the ceiling and on one end fasten an apple and to the other end a small cheesecloth bag of flour. Twirl the stick around and each one then tries in turn to bite the apple. This will create much amusement. close Dear Miss Brooks: I have two questions I would like to ask: (1) Would a person spend more time in doing a certain thing, than they would if they were just dreaming of doing it? (2) Could any one hold their breath as long, if they were using their under energy (such as swimming water) as they could if they were not their using energy? Thanking you in advance, I remain INQUISITIVE, Utahs Dixie. (1) In most instances, yes. Persons have been known to dream in one fleeting moment a series of events which might cover hours, days, weeks or even longer periods of time if they (2) No, they could really happened. not. Physical exertion increases the circulation which is governed by the heart, and as the number of respirations is in fairly definite proportion to the number of heart beats you can readity see that if one is exerting themselves or using their energy their respirations would necessarily be more often than if they were perfectly quiet or passive. Dear Vlss Brooke: This Is the first I hare written to you. (I) What should you say to a boy when he asked you if you would go with him and he said he loved you? When a boy asked you to go with him, what should you say to him? I have been out with every boy In this town also in other towns. When I started out with boys I was ten years old. going Was I too young? I have been going with them for five years. (8) If a girl goes with one boy for quite a while and then goes with another boy, how can she keep this boy from getting mad at her? (4) Does cutting the hair make it thick, and if one has thick hair how can you make it thin? Hope you will answer these questions for me. From BERT, Utah. Let us hope it will not be the last , time, my dear. (1) Am I to understand that he asked you to go with him and said he loved you at one and the same time? I never had just such an experience, and I can understand how it would be rather disconcerting. I rather think Id tell him in as Indifferent a manner as possible that Id accept the front part of his proposal and go with him once anyway, but gracefully ignore the rest of his rather hurried declaration, secretly assuring myself I would hear more of it later. (2) I could not hope to improve on your style of accepting invitations, since you have been invited, and accepted invitations from all the boys in your town and started in on the surrounding towns. My dear, I did not staTt accepting invitations to go out with boys at ten years of age, and I would not have been allowed to do so even had I wished, nor have I known many who have, so I am going to revert this question back to you by asking you the same thing. Were you too young? Would you advise others to do the same, and would you do it over again if you could turn back the years and be a child of ten again? (3) You have asked more than the limit of questions, dear, but I would truly like to help you if I could. A girl has every right to go with as many boys as she wishes to, so long as she holds her heart intact and is unpromised to any one boy. The boy has no right to be offended, and he should forfeit your friendship by doing so. (4) Cutting the hair is to makelt thicker and cause it thought to grow more evenly. You can not well make your hair thinner, dear child, without treating it so poorly that it thins, itself,, by coming out. ' Dear Miss Brooks: May I ask for a poem? I believe it is called If We Knew. I know only a few lines, as follows: If we knew the cares and trials that surround each ethers life Could see the naked heart and spirit Knew what spur the action give. Would the grim exterior roughness Dear Friend: . seem, I wonder, just the same?
