dressed becomingly than straight hair Is As your parties will be private ones at one of the girl 8 houses it would be quite per permissible for you to go with a bunch although if a ride into the country is involved it would be very easy to persuade an older olde r person to act as chaperone for the crowd er would it not and now you see you arrived at the printer printers s with the thank you very very much for the song girlie to MAGGIE oakley idaho As I 1 do not now have either of the songs you request I 1 shall keep yow your envelope until such time as I 1 find them or some kind reader

work I 1 remain VIOLET idaho you re as welcome as a violet in the springtime my dear 1 the newest a and d most popular shades this fall are what are known as the wood shades called sandalwood oakwood willow wood etc they are near what we have known as the beaver shades in fact all browns are very good as are blues in navy and the greenish blues there seem to be no particularly new colors 2 with the straight bobbed hair there has came a more simple dressing for the long hair the waved hair Is arranged simply and smoothly about the face from a center or side part or combed straight back from the fore head almost without exception it Is done low in the back except for evening wear there are many however who still cling to the fluffy hair dressing and this is as it should be one should dresa dress the hair in a way and manner most becoming to their features con forming to the prevailing style as much as possible but always keeping in mind that the arrangement of the hair may make a plain face attractive or a beau ticul face just the reverse bangs are worn a great deal from only a few hairs arranged coquettishly on the forehead to enough to almost cover the forehead dear miss brooks at last I 1 am rewarded with the op port unity of helping you and repaying you for the good advice and helpful hints you have given me through your grand answers to letters of other mem bers

few questions I 1 have had a hard time to figure out would you please answer them for me 1 I 1 Is it proper tor for a girl to ride down town with her brother and some other boya boys in a cara 2 it if a brother and sister were asked to a party and they had no way of going but horseback what would be proper for the girl to wear riding breeches or a dress thanking you in advance I 1 remain HUMPTY wyo you are none the less welcome be cause it Is your first letter humpty 1 surely it Is quite proper for you to ride down town with your brother and his friends 2 1 I suggest that you dress tor for the party in every way except putting on the dress itself put you riding apparel on ana and go to the party carrying your dress carefully packed in a box upon arriving at the party remove your riding outfit and don bour our dress these two questions are your limit dear and as the stamp flirtation has been printed several time I 1 shall have to ask you to send for it and I 1 will then gladly answer your other questions dear miss brooks we have often wondered how you could answer so many questions but you se seem am to enjoy your work so we feel assured that you will help us 1 we are sweet sixteen and never been kissed although we are quite popular lar and dance lots but we get tired of dancing so much what would you do excuse yourself from some of the dances or ask your you escort to take you home 2 some people eay say that course hair as a rule grows better than fine does it or Is I 1 it the way different people care for their hair my hair Is very fine and I 1 haven t very much what shall I 1 do 3 1 I haven t been able to go to high school only one halt half a year since I 1 graduated from the eighth grade two years ago I 1 have one on and one halt half credits in high school would you advise me to try to graduate or specialize in some course coursed 4 my hair Is too short to braid and make good looking bobs on the sides I 1 do not wish to cut it oft off so how would you advise me to comb it with out snarling it oodles of love NEIL and HOOT idaho yes I 1 do enjoy my work girls and am glad to help you all I 1 can 1 and very proud you should be of this tact fact my dears and one ot of these days a very fine young man will be proud of you also because of this why not suggest that instead of going to the dance a few of 0 your girl and boy friends go to one of your homes and have music make candy and spend some time in discussing interesting subjects later in the evening have a little supper and see if this change of program will not be both interesting and beneficial to you 2 1 I hardly think coarse hair grows better than finer hair but be cause fine hair breaks more easily it does not show its growth as does the coarser hair very fine hair must be cared tor for very carefully that Is combed and brushed with great care in order to prevent breaking it off one scalp requires as much care as another and it Is the scalp which needs atten tion to increase the growth of the hair one should always brush the hair vig porously with a medium stiff brush dally daily and massage the scalp with the finger tips until it glows and tingles this increases the circulation and keeps the scalp in a healthy condl tion of course this must be persisted in dally daily and all the time with the same regularity as brushing the teeth do not shampoo your hair more often than each two or three week depending upon your nour dally daily brushing with a clean brush to keep it clean 3 finish high by all means my dear it will profit you nothing to try to skip this specializing without a full high school course would be difficult it if you go about it determinedly you can make up this year and one half without much trouble and you will still be young enough when you graduate 4 your ha r Is at a difficult stage about the easiest way Is to get some culls or a switch to wear over the ends after it is dressed and fastened in the back now that the moro simple style of hair dressing Is in vogue you should not find it necessary to snarl your hair I 1 I 1 1 dear ml MI a brooks 1 how old do you think I 1 am by tny my writing 2 1 I was born dec dee can you tell
