Seeing you have helped so many girls I by answering their questions. thought I would come to you for help. For some time I have noticed that the skin on my neck has been very coarse, and looks like goose flesh. have used different kinds of treatment to remove this coarseness but nothing seems .to do any good. Could you tell me how I can get rid of this? I noticed a few weeks ago in Our Comer that a girl in- California wrote to you asking you to get some one to write to her. If you still have her address would you kindly let me have it as I feel that I would like to write to her? Wishing you a success in your work, I remain, BIRDY, Delta, Utah. The condition you mention must be dse to exposure to the wind and sun although It is difficult to tell without seeing the skin. I believe using a good cleansing cream followed by a good tissue builder combined with gentle massaging or patting will remedy this condition. I am glad You are interested in our little California friend. Her name and address is: Miss Myrtle r Chapman, Burrel, Calif. Thanks for your kind wishes. I - Dear Miss Brooks: I had a very dear boy friend but about eight months ago he said something to me while angry. I have want- irttctnzfotiiH Hat off!

But that was nearly 150 years ago. Since then we have had five wars. Since then we grown from a nation of about three millions to a nation of about 120 millions. So the American people may fitly celebrate more on the Fourth of July than the Declaration of Independence. Doubtless the Fourth will be observed In this year of A. D. 1922 In a multitude of ways, some good, some bad, some Indifferent necessarily so In a country so big, with so vast a melting-po- t population. We Americans have an attractive list of holidays. Christmas, New Years and Easter we share with all mankind. Thanksgiving Day, Mothers Day and Arbor Day are our own. So are Washingtons Birthday and Lincolns Birthday and Flag Day. Memorial Day Is the day the nation grieves over its soldier dead and pays tribute to its fighting heroes at tlielr last resting place. The Fourth of July should be different from all our other' national holidays. It should have something of Washington and Lincolns Birthdays In It, much of Thanksgiving Day and more of Flag Day. The Fourth of July should be most of all, as many good Americans see It, . a day of nation worship, unstinted and unashamed. , The Government of the United States of America secured Its existence through war. Every generation of Americans has had Its war. As one generation ef fighting heroes passes away another rises to take its place. Some have gone, others are going, all will go. None should be forgotten, for their deeds arc the basis of the tradition around which our nationalism Is built. The heritage of the next generation has been made possible . by their heroism. There are those Americans who profess to see In the American nation a peace-lovin- g people, slow to wrath and averse to war. It Is true that we arc alow to take up arms. This Is because war with us Is a war, not of a professional army, but of the people. Our people go slow to war because they will not fight, unless the provocation Is great and the cause Is just. But those who believe America Is not a fighting nation are utterly and entirely wrong. We are not afraid to fight. We know bow to fight. As a matter of exact fact we are the most warlike people on earth. When America goes to war the optional heart goes with her soldiers. We are the most desperate In battle. for a The Flag hns waved over our battle-field- s century and a half.

And then a thought of By JOHN DICKINSON feat. Air of Americas wurs have been jrr 27& humanity. America has cause to blush for none, to apologize for none, to feel regret for none. So why should not the Fourth of July be In part p devoted to and to remembrance of the deeds of the heroes who kept the Flag victorious from the Philippines to France! In an appreciation of our national history it Is not necessary to acclaim war or to deify the fighting man. Hand In hand with appreciation of Americas valor In war go an appreciation of the evils of war and an -- appreciation of the lessons ; of war. The Fourth of July Is surely the day of days on which to salute the Flag, remember the heroes who have died for it, applaud the living who - have fought for It and declare again, with the poet: In spit of rock and tempests roar.

We sometimes pay dearly for allowing ourselves to become angry, do we not? It would altogether depend on what you became angry about I should think, as to whether you could write to him or not. If you felt you were too hasty and were not justified in your condemnation, you should have let him know in the beginning. If you should telephone or write to him now, unless he has shown a desire to renew your friendship, you would be placing yourself in a very unenviable position. My advice would be, my dear, to wait until he shows some inclination to again be friends, which he will do if he cares about it. . one. I wish I could talk to you and tell you just how much the world of boys and girls, men and women, who have really acomplished anything, or hope to accomplish anything in this world, think of the girls who havo pursued the course you are now pursuing. And is not your and the respect iff your associates worth more than what you mistakenly think constitutes a good time? You used the small word if well When you said if a little flirting, a few kisses, etc., do. we not know that it is what some are peased to call the little flirting, the white lie, the small theft which lead to the great crimes which are committed? When this small indiscretion is committed, it is not often the intention to commit greater ones, but the small ones too often soon seem of no consequence, and greater, ones are indulged in. Perhaps you have an exaggerated idea iff what a good girl should bo. She does not necesasrily havo to bo a prude. You should by all means go out with young people, Go with a girl ' friend, cultivate a happy, jolly disposition, wear a smile, be as entertaining as you know how to be, and yon will soon find there are boys who appreciate a girl of that sort more than the one who allows him too many privileges. Save your affection and caresses for THE man you respect and admire above all others and who cares for you for yourself alone and who admires you for just what yon are now doing holding yourself absolutely above reproach. self-respe- ct Dear Miss Brooks: I read your interesting corner in our paper and like the rest havo a question to ask you. Please tell me the proper thing to do and say when introducing people and when being introduced. A BOY, Ephraim. The simplest form of introduction is always the best, and can be properly used on all ocasions as: Miss Smith, let me present Mr. Jones. Always take the gentleman to the lady and speak the ladys name first, presenting the man to the lady. A gentleman, if introducing a friend of his own sex to a lady, may say: Miss Smith, Mr. Jones desires to be presented to you. When introducing people of the same sex, the younger is always introduced to the elder. A man upon being introduced to m lady usually acknowledges the introduction by saying: I am very happy to meet you, or a similar phrase- - A Dear Miss Brooks: lady acknowledges the introduction I am one of your constant readers only bya bow and repeating the name hints. and have found many helpful of the person introduced.

I have never flirted or done any of the things which other girls do. As a result I stay at home, while other, girls at- tend dances, shows and other entertainments with the young men. It is hard to say, but true, that I have! nwer had a date with a man anywhere near my own age. When I think it over and realize that I deprive myself of these things simply to preserve the respect of others I wonder if it is worth it. No one respects a girl who stays at home all the time even if they think and say they do, and no girl likes to go alone. C msidering all these things I have come to the conclusion that if a little flirting and a few kisses will bring me a good time I shant be abgve1 granting them. A girl doesnt spect a boy who merely goes with5 her for those- - things and I should never kiss a man that I really re' spected just for a good time.
