t if why not have a coronet braid made and wear this over your irregular and scanty tresses until you have coaxed them to grow long and luxuriant again the newer tyle of plain and severe hair dress ing would suit your need at least even if it were not the most becoming and then brush bour hair diligently dally daily and massage the scalp dally daily also you have mistreated it so long that you

girl 18 16 to IT 17 to go out of town to a small town dance with a boy she knows real well 2 what will re move spots from a char chary meuse neuse satin dress thanking you in advance we remain 1 ING TUT and TOOTS payson thank you girls 1 not unless you are in a party of young people in which aich case a married couple or old person should be on of the party to act as chaperone merely for the sake of propriety you know 2 it would depend so much on what the spots were caused from the color of the dress etc that I 1 could not well answer you satisfactorily if they are merely soiled spots sponging with warm water and a pure soap over a thick pad on the wrong side would probably remove them dear helen have lave you room tor for two more quest we have long been devoted readers of our corner to us it la Is the most important feature of our pa per we have never written before but hope we are welcome 1 we are 14 years old and quite popular Is it proper for us to go car riding with fellows 23 and 24 years old un chaper boned if they act perfectly lovely 2 this Is a very small town no one ever hag has private dances here but there Is a public dance every week we love to dance Is it proper for us to so go to public dances unescorted but chaper boned with the consent of our parents 4 1 Is it proper for us to receive letters and answers from boys of a short ac living in a it neighboring towne town hoping this does not wend its way into tl ti e wastebasket with oceans of love and a kiss on each wave and loads of success GIGGLES and JAZZ wellsville ut indeed there Is room for two more questioners 1 and my dear girls if ff you have been devoted readers of our corner for so long you will ill have no that I 1 do not advise girls of tour four teen to go out with young men at all car riding or otherwise school work for girls of this age should be occupy ing most of their time and attention if they ever hope to realize the am bivions which every girl should have that of becoming capable intelligent and useful members of their community or the niche which they are to fill 2 of course it Is better to go to the t he dance properly chaperoned than alone it if you juet just must go dears and it if father and mother feel it Is all right personally I 1 would advise that our recreation be different than this 3 an exchange of letters CAN be both interesting and educational girls but see to it they are of this nature or otherwise they will only be another medium of distracting your thought and attention from your studies and now you see your letter did not quite reach the waste basket this time you are so generous girls am I 1 especially favored or do you treat everyone alike I 1 dear miss brooks 1 I would like to ask two questions it if I 1 imay may 1 Is it proper to
