J I find your letters are so nice, I Ret (rreat pleasure when I read them. I never let one pass. It just Reernn like I have had a lon-r visit when I get throuuh reading your letters. Well. I would like to know if you could srive me a good cream pie recipe. And, Miss Brooks, I think I am too fat...l am five feet two inches tall and weiith 150 pounds. Don't you think no. too 7 Also. U it the style to have bolbed hair and rolled down atockings? Some of the girla do that in our town. I want to thank you for making our paper so interesting and giving us a chance. GRACE. Wendell. Idaho. You are surely generous in your words of cheer and appreciation. Please, accept my thanks and 1 hope my corner will continue to be interesting to you. If I were you 1 would not worry in the least about the few extra pounds you are carrying. Probably your particular type needs them. I would suggest sug-gest that if you are addicted to eating many "sweets" you avoid them as much as possible and take plenty of outdoor exercise. If you should continue to gain I would advise ju to read the magazine "Physical Culture." I would not go so far as to say bobbed hair ! and rolled stockings are "good" style, but "some" of the girls do it here, too, and I have heard that they do in other places, but it is really only a fad and is on the wane, for which J am truly grateful; aren't you 7 . .For they are not very attractive, do you think? Your cream pie recipe follows : Scven-elrhths Scven-elrhths cup sugar, one-third cup flour, one-eighth one-eighth teaspoon salt, two eggs, two cups scald- , ed milk, one teaspoon vanilla. Mix dry in-gredients in-gredients odd egg slightly beaten.

Dearest Miss Brooks: ' ; I'm the lonesomest girl in the United State ;-. just because I can't win the affections of a, n-ce young gentleman who lives thirty mile; away He eems to care for me at one timet and then again he acta just the opposite.. Do you think it would be wise for me toj try to win his affections, and how can I dew it' He makes me promise not to go with oth-, er' fellows, which I do. hut no stops out with I other girls. So. dear Miss Brooks. Id b t'ckled to death for information leading me I to "how to win his affection." With oodlee of love and many thanks, DEAN, Preston, Idaho. What an awful predicament to be in If The United States Is quite some place and I, feel sure there are a number of lonesomei people in it, so cheer up for If you knew' the cause of some of their loneliness you. might think ynu had no cause to be lonely' at all. Now let's see about this nice young-' gentleman. He is an unselfish sort, isn't: he. to exact a promise from you not to go-out go-out with other "nice young gentleman?" Why. not get him to make a similar promise to-you?' to-you?' Now my dear, no doubt you think ilis affection is worth winning, and if so, let-me let-me give you a bit of advice. "Step out" with-the with-the nicest young man you know nnd when, your friend thirty miles away finds out you- do not Intend to be his slave, he will makeup, make-up, and if he has the least particle of affection affec-tion for you he will do quite differently from the way he has been doin.T, I am sure. Do not for a moment think ynu can win any man's affection by becoming his slave and.' being meek and submissive to all his wishes. And now let me whisper another bit of advice ad-vice to ynu: A selfish man makes a mostj unsatisfactory husband, so when you fall iitj love select one who can give a little thought) to you instead of himeclf |
