years yeas old and I would like to give her dancing lessons Do you think she is too young If not could you tell me where I could get a teacher and how much they charge If there isn't one around here close enough is there a place in Salt Lake where whee I could send for the instructions and teach her myself When I was a child my one great geat ambition was to be a too dancer dance but my parents couldn't afford to give me lessons and my dreams deams didn't come true tue I guess that is why I am so anxious to have my little girl dance I hope I am not taking up too much of your time I certainly enjoy Hearts Heart's Haven and If you can help me I will certainly appreciate it PEGGY Thank you Peggy and we are mighty glad you enjoy oui our column olumn Good for Maurice Mauric I believe there will be no regrets on that score Your little daughter has all aU the time in the world to learn toe dancing You shouldn't worry about that for several years yet et I Ican Ican Ican can sympathize with you sincerely over your ambition but if Ir I were you OU I shouldn't want her to start formal dancing lessons of any kind until she is 6 years old at least The first and most essential asset of the dancer Is perfect physical health and a well welt controlled trolled nervous ner ner- ous system Too many directions I too early Jn in life Ufa might ruin her chances by making ng her nervous or self conscious and by breaking down her health Give your little girl every opportunIty opportunity opportunity to grow naturally Develop her ear ear for music and a a. sense of rhythm if it you can through the tho piano or This can be done by encouraging her to make up her own little steps or to give her own childish interpretation of or the mu music music sic she hears See that her little legs are growing straight and sturdy and that she is active physIcally physically physically phy phy- then she will wm have th the foundation upon which to build the career of or a dancer lancer Indeed you are not taking up ip too much of my time and dont don't hesItate hesitate hesitate hesi hesI- tate to write me at any time I If I Ican Ican can be of ot any assistance Dear Miss Blair This is my first first and and I hope I am welcome Now for my question or questions questions questions-is is taffeta being worn I I this fall and winter Also is the tight bodice and rather full full skirt in inI in I style Both of these questions api apply ap- ap i ply to party dresses Most of the dresses I have noticed are e built I along the straight lines I Dare I ask another I am 17 Am AmI I I too young to wear spike Keels heels I Mother says so but I dont Thank I you very vey much Miss Blair MICK You are very welcome Mick even though my advice on the spike heels may not be so welcome to you With nIl all the artistic and attractive slippers slippery that are designed with l lower low low- w- w er heels these days das why do you want to spoil your feet with spike heels You cant can't dance as well in th them m and you cant can't be as graceful and as for comfort I 1 Need I eay more Yes Indeed taffeta Is Ig a great favorito fa- fa for evening wear and Is par par- lovely for the younger girls because it is so gay and crispy and d does not cost yost a fortune It needs very little HUe decoration because of its Us character and cannot bo be Improved upon as a material mn for youthful dancing frocks The basque or bodice Is still sun good though not too tight and many of of them come down to the low tow waistline waist line Une with only a slight fitting 1 Full 1111 skirts are rapidly gaining in popularity and scarcely a dress Isnow is isnow isnow now seen which does not have either elther eith eith- er a circular flare lare or gathers and shirring Even the straight tailored frocks are fuller and have plaits plait and slits and Insets to give fullness Dear Miss Blair In writing wr thank you notes for wedding presents should the names of both the bride bide and groom be signed NEWLYWEDS No only the th name of the bride Convention says that all an presents belong to the bride and though she signs only her name to the note of thanks she usually words her letters letters letters let let- as if it they belonged equally to the groom especially if ir they have been sent by particular friends of ot his For example Dear Mrs J J- J The tray you rOu sent us us us- Yours sincerely Mildred l Barton Ames Dear Miss Blair Blai Can you give me the name of the i Edna Geister book which deals with games for different seasons of the year G G. G G. G G. G You probably mean The Fun Book This takes up every month of ot the year and games for special occasions Dear Miss Betty I am very vey much interested in Hearts Heart's Haven and read it every night Now Miss Betty I am going to ask you a question my first one What is required of a governess over two children Or Orf- Orf in other words what is she ahe required to do dol dolIf If you will please answer this I will be very thankful AMY That Is a que question that Is difficult to answer because i it is so general The requirements would be different different differ differ- ent in each individual case but it would be wise to talk things over and get et a n full tun understanding of ot what hat is s expected of or y you U before ac accepting accepting ac- ac c such a position In most cases a governess acts as private tutor for the children teaching them all the rudiments not only of the subjects taught in school but of manners speech accent anent ac an- ent cent behavior and arid so on She acts as companion and find chaperon Usually ally aUy a governess is expected to know one or more foreign languages so that she can teach them to the children children chil chil- dren and talk with them while they are still young youns Enough nough to pick up up the unfamiliar tongue with ease and rapidity Sometimes a governess is expected expect expect- ed to act as nurse-maid nurse as well as tutor In this cas case she will have to get set the children up in the morning morning morn morn- ing ins se see that they have their baths and are properly dressed She su supervises supervises su- su their meals and takes care of or them generally and finally gets them safely in bed and nd asleep at night nigh t. t So you see it would be almost impossible to offer otter any definite rules for the expectations of the employer I Dear Miss Blair What will viII take a spot of green paint out of my silk stocking WORRIED Rub the spot with turpentine and nd I wash in tepid soap
