street wear at any rate and it is still quite popular 3 bobbed hair also continues popular though its continued vogue hangs somewhat in the balance since some of you already have it might as well keep it for a while I 1 suppose 4 why not ate a little on the dance question 7 9 ex styles in dancing as well as in dress are in poor taste and often over step into the vulgar no need to stop dancing b j

would like to ask you a few questions 1 what Is a good remedy to reduce fat 2 if a girl is in love with a boy and he cares little for her what should she do to win his love with best wishes SHORTY washington utah welcome 1 exercise and diet will do it it if you are persistent in your efforts make blake your exercise astren U bous 0 u to reduce and let it be walking swimming boating tennis or should these lse not be possible make it a daily such as the setting up ex ar c bending forward and touching dear dears I 1 really think king tut meant his sandals te to be worn only when in dulling in the lighter and less strena ous sports but it seems milady has in this as in a great many other things taken unto herself to say what when where and why she shall or shall not wear or do certain things and as consequence cons coris quence we see these sandals at the 8 seashore on the street in the ball r room oom at the theatre in fact every where and worn thus by almost every one but by all means let them har bar monize with the rest of your costume at least 4 and also well my flap pers pere lust just between you and me I 1 rather think I 1 d not care to make up with a boy who got angry because I 1 had come to my senses enough to not allow him such unwise familiarities so that a that it if he s half a man he will admit you re right and be a better friend to you tor for it I 1 id d like to shake shako hands with your parents JUST SET A LIGHT A little child on a sick bed lay and to death see fd very near her parents pride and the only child of a railroad engineer chorus just set a light when I 1 pass tonight set it where it can be seen it if our darling it dead then show the red it if she sh a better show the green hie his duty called him from those he loved from his home whose light was dimmed while tears he shed to his wife he said I 1 will leave two lanterns trimmed in that small house by the railroad side the mother 8 watchful eye saw a gleam of hope in the feeble smile As the train went rushing by just one short look his only chance but the signal light wa was seen on the midnight air there arose a prayer thank god the light Is to green dear miss bliss brooks we have enjoyed reading your cosy corner for sometime and we would be b just as put out to go without our meals as to go without reading just between you and me we have never written to you before but you have given so many girls and boys such good help and advice we thought maybe you would answer a few questions tor for us we hope you will allow us two ques eions each we both wish you much success and happiness hope you will publish these questions as soon as you can make room for 1 1 I am fifteen years old sixty four inches in height and weigh 89 99 pounds I 1 would like very much to be up to my normal weight it if possible I 1 love all kinds of out door exercise such horse back riding and swimming do you think this would prevent me from gaining can you tell me how I 1 could gaind 2 do you think we are too young to go with boys older than ourselves say eighteen or nineteen some say we are and some say we are not what do you think FRITZ ut utah h 1 how can I 1 keep up a good lively conversation with a boy 2 my aly hal hair Is long and quite curly I 1 feel as though I 1 would llla it bobbed but my folks do not approve of this what do you think and what should I 1 do HANS utah I 1 could not weI welcome corne two girls any more heartily than I 1 now welcom welcome you hans and fritz Is this satisfying 1 1 I see no reason why you should not find that extra 17 pounds somewhere fritz frit z if you are in a normal condition of health no exercise such as you enjoy would not prevent you from gaining unless indulged in too astren of course one can overdo any thing but I 1 am inclined to think it Is i ot so much this as an that you are not eating properly eat plenty of good wholesome food including eg eggs go cream cheese nuts and plenty of vegetables in your menus drink at least one quart of rich milk a day two Is better and plenty of water I 1 am quite sure it if you are in earnest and follow the above suggestions you will soon be gaining in weight should there be a physical dis order of any kind of course it must be corrected before you can hope for proper results 2 1 I contend that a girl of fifteen ie in too young to go with boy boys regularly remember girl girls that your conduct now and the friends you choose will be a governing influence throughout your entire life therefore act wisely it Is not so much the age of the boy as it is his character which 11 should hould be considered when choosing your friends 1 by just being perfectly natural and spontaneous hans of course you must have something to talk about therefore read all you can so you will be posted on different subjects find out w what hat your friends enjoy talking about and do not forget that a good listener is often appreciated 2 1 I am quite sure I 1 would not bob such lovely hair but of course this Is purely a matter of individual taste to DAWN smithfield ut yes dawn I 1 have received the songs you sent and thank you sincerely for them only a small percentage of the songs

had this song and it may also be had in the shops finger to floor or jumping the rope but whatever you do persist until you are tired then of course you should eliminate sweets fata fate and starches from your diet 2 my dear there Is nothing you can do but turn your thought resolutely from thie bo boy y and look to another who Is more app active of your charms it if you have been as charming in your manner as you know how to be it if you have been friendly kind and interesting shown refinement in manner and dress what more could you do just know it Is to not intended that he be more than a

CAME CAM E TOO LATE A fair haired boy in a foreign land at sunrise was to die 4 in a prison cell he sat alone from his heart there came a sigh deserted from th the ranks they said the reason none could say they only knew the orders were that he should die next day and as an the hour hours glided by A messenger on wings did fly to save this boy from such a fate A pardon but it oama oame too late chorus the volley was fired at sunrise just after the break of day and while the echoes lingered A soul had passed away into the arms of his maker and there to hear bear hi his fate A tear a sigh a sad goodbye the pardon came too late and round the camp fire burning bright the story then was told how ilow his mother on a dying ba bed called for her son so bold he ile hastened to obey her wish was captured on the way she never saw her boy so fair he ile died at break of day and when the truth at last wag was known his ills innocence at once was shown to save from euch such an unjust fate A pardon sent but too late dear miss brooks I T have read your letters and answer answers and enjoy them very much and would like to enter your corner would you please answer the two following questions for me 1 I 1 would you please give me pearl whites address Is it right tor for a girl of 14 to go to dancer dances and different things with a boy of IT WA WA challis idaho very glad to do so wa wa 1 pearl white Is to with the pathe paths exchange inc 33 35 W st new york city 2 personally I 1 do not consider it wise for a girl of 14 to go steadily with boy boys it will be tar far better you will find later on if you will devote all your time and attention for two or three more years to self improvement in every way before taking an active part in social affair affairs it if you do thie this you will be more attractive feel more at ease and enjoy your friends more dear miss brook |
