Denr Problem Solver: Will you pleare welcome me to your corner? I as so perplexed Miss Brooks, about the most becoming way to dress my hair. I am, quite tall and slender with small features. The lant. yenr and a half I've worn my hair vilh ear puffs and n braid, but it does not seem to became me anymore. It is litrht in color, about 22 inches long and quita thick. It isn't curlcy. just sort of fluffy. Would you advise me to bob my hair Miss, Brooks ? I have thought o bobbing it before. be-fore. I dn't want or like my hair donrt up yet. I've just turned sixteen and I would rather wait about one year before I do it in coils or coiffures and the like. Can you suggest some girlish styles for me. Trusting Trust-ing I am welcome and thanking you ever and ever so much in advance. FAITH. Parowan. "Utah . T am more than glad to welcome yot Faith, for you are on? of the rare girls of sixteen who still wish to be girlLsh and sweet. Too many at that age wish to appear .mature and sophisticated, so it is a joy to welcome wel-come ynu. The single braid fastened with a barreltp half way down and the end in curls is always a pretty, girlish style, with the hnir d'nwn sofi ly back from the face, but for a change why not part it on the Bide and daw it, softly hack and over the ears, then divide it in two parts and cross it in the back twisting nach side in figure eijrht and fasten across the nape of the neck from cur to ear with the ends hanging in loose curls below. Make the twist so that the curls come from underneath. You may curl the ends of the hair on a cloth at night and it will not injure it st all. Do you know how to do it ? It is very simnle. No. dear, do not bob it. It is so hard to grow it again, and the bobbed hair is doomed thoy say. Dar Miss Brooks: I have nev.ir written to you before, but read your answers to other people's question? and would like you to answer my troublesome trouble-some questions. (1 ) What is a girl to do when ehe is with a boy who tries to lovo her up after she has told him once that she don't allow it? Is it proper for a boy of 16 and a girl of 14 to go to a dance, show, etc.. without a chaperone? (3) What can a girl do when she is the pet of her school teacher and don't wish to 'be. without making mak-ing her teacher offended? (4) When you are invited to a party and you are asked1 to bring your partner, although you l.ave never been out with the boy before, but yoo knew he liked you. how would you invite him and what would you say? With oceans of success. INA. Bountiful. Utah. (1) My dear, do nU place yourself in a oosition to receive auch treatment from him by not being in his company again. He ia certainly not a gentleman if he does not resnect your wishes in this respect. (2) No little girl, it is not proper for a girl of 1 to go with a bov at all much less without a chaoerone. (3) This ia rather a d-licate situation sit-uation irn't it ? A teneher really should have no "pets" but I think you can handle the situation rr awfully if you do not accept ac-cept too many favorr from her. and al-tend al-tend strictly to your studies.

I will have to ask you now to pen 1 stamped envelope for reply to your question in regurd to the eyelash grower, grow-er, although ma ay people consider white vaseline vas-eline very good to promote the growth of the ey.-liLshes and eyebrows. Moles are a difficult dif-ficult problem and cannot readily be removed. The electric needle is sevne times used but i3 f;ir from satisfactory. A solution of borax and suit in proportion of one teaspoon to pint of water and applied and let dry on the wart, will often times remove these. Al. o touching them with a caustic pencil obtained from your drug store will remove them.

(1) My dear little girl, how fortunate you are to be able to attend boarding school, and how happy ycu will be later on that you had the opportunity. Yovr father has only your best interests at heart or he would not send you. Can't you see his viewpoint and be ft dear, sensible little girl and go willingly and gladly, and make the very most of your opportunity? op-portunity? There is so much time later on to think about the boys, and to devote to the social side of life, when it will be too late to obtain the, education so necessary for filling any position, either in the business or social so-cial life, which may be yours. Perhaps whn you return home from school next year you will be wiser and more attractive to your friend, so that he will be proud to take you out. Think it over, girlie, and ue your own good judgment and I am sure you will see the light. Miss Helen Brooks : Have been receiving a Utah paper with your "questions and answers" in from a friend. And to your solicitations for personal puzzling questions I submit the following: :1) Which is the true church of Christ existing ex-isting today? (2) Give reasons. (3) What in the population of Salt Lake City ? (4) What is the most interesting point in passing through? (5) What time of the year is best to see points of interest? Wishing you auc-ces auc-ces in vour work. Sincerely Yours, THOMAS C. ESPLIN. Boulder. Colo. (l)As there are perhaps between two and three hundred different religions beliefs or sects, all belicveing lhay are the true church, you see how impossible it would be for me to give you a definite answer to your question. (3) Salt Lake City has a population popula-tion of 118,110. Great Salt Lake is considered con-sidered the moat interesting of all Salt Lake Ctiy's many attractions. (5) The months of July and August are perhaps the best time to enjoy a trip to Salt Lake City. Another point of great interest to the visitor is Tmple Square. i Dear Miss Brooks: I am very interested in your corner "Between "Be-tween You and Me" and would like to ask you a few (juration.
