Thanks for your good wishes, girls. Dear Miss Brooks: ft'ny 1 obtain help from your column? My questions are: (1) Is Ontario, Canada, a "dr" state? (2) What day did the 13th of February, 1903, fall on? (3) Would you please tell me a few games, Buitnble for boy? and Kirls of from twelve to eighteen years? Thanking you in anticipation, and hoping 1 may call again some day, I am, yours faithfully, faith-fully, "DARK IE," Utah. You are welcome, Darkie. (1) Yes. Ontario, On-tario, Canada, is "dry." (2) The 13th of February, 1903, came on Friday. (3) It i-rather i-rather difficult to exp'.ain a game in a smal! space, but I will try. Prepare sheets of paper with the name of each individual present written writ-ten on them, and opposite the names are three columns with the words weight, height and age at the top. Each guest is then requested to write opposite the name his decision in regard to the height, w-.ight and age of each person. Make out a sheet that is correct, a nearly as you can, and then find out which one ha3 made the most correct guesses. To the one who has the most, a prize might b" awarded. The fun comes fiam ascertaining the correct height and weight. Th' height is determined by measurement, the weight by someone- who is expertp on guessing weights. unless you should happen to have scales suf-ticicntly suf-ticicntly large. Each person's age will be found on their own paper. Each person "corrects" "cor-rects" his own paper by checking up with the correct paper as the height, weight and age is read off, and the difference between his guess and the correct one he places in a separate sep-arate column. When these are added up the 6mallest number is the nearest correct. Another game which causes great amusement amuse-ment is to place a large smooth apple on the floor and have each one try in turn to pick the apple up on a teaspoon, without the use of the fingers. To the one picking up the apple the greatest number of times in one minute goes the prize of the apple. Call again. Dear Miss Brooks : We have been reading your interesting corner, cor-ner, and would like to ask a few questions. (1) When was Hallowe'en first started, and where did it get its name? (2) In giving a party, how could you entertain boys and girls from the age of fourteen to Bixteen if the boys don't dance? (3) If a very dear girl friend of yours was introduced to a boy, and you were not, and he took a liking to you, and you received a letter from him, should you answer ? BABE, TOOTS, PEGGY, Utah. Very glad you find my corner interesting. You are welcome. (1) Hallowe'en, or Kallow-even, Kallow-even, is the evening of Oct. 31. That evening even-ing is so-called, however, because it is the eve of the Christian festival of All Saints, which falls on November 1. It means Holy Eve. About thirteen centuries ago pagans celebrated cele-brated November 1 as All Saints Day, when spirits, both good and evil, were believed to be on earth. The Druids also celebrated their harvest festival about that time, and many strange ceremonies were performed, and so the Hallowe'en diversions of today are some which originated centuries ago. The name comes from the old English word "halwe," or as we now say, holy. (2) In this same issue you will find this answer for "Darkie." (3) If you know this boy is respectable in every way, but you should use discretion. to them. I was born in January, what is my lucky day and color? What would be a Rood motto for school? Will you please tell me what these names mean : Chloe, Delia, Ruth, Violet and Evelyn. Wishing' you great success suc-cess in answering my questions, nnd hoping you can read my writing, as ever, your FRIEND, from Utah. I gladly welcome you, and your name has been forwarded as requested. For one born in January. Saturday is supposed to be the lucky day and the months March and November. Colors Col-ors arc garnet, silver, gray, brown and black. Of the r.amec you wish I find only Ruth, meaning mean-ing "friend," Violet, meaning "violet," and Evelyn, meaning "life." The Latin phrase, -J "Quanti est sapere," meaning "How desirable is wisdom and knowledge." would be a splendid splen-did school or class motto. Dear Miss Brooks : Will vou kindly answer ft few questions for irtt? (1) Please tell me how old you think I am by my writing. (2) Could you tell me where I could get the play, "The Stolen Flower Queen," and how much it would cost? I remain, re-main, JUST A PNOWFLAKE. Spring City. I will do the best I can. Snowflake. (1) Probably thirteen or fourteen. (2) I do not locate the play. If I can later I will let you know. Dear Miss Bmoks : Will you please answer the following questions. ques-tions. (1) How shou'd a woman sign her nnmt in a Hotel Register? (2) What should a girl do when a man leaves her standing in the middle of the floor of a ballroom? (3) What . is the correct thing to wear to a tea party, W theatre paHv, or a garden party? (4) At which side of the woman should a man seat himself at a table? (6) May a slice of bread fce bitten into, or should it be broken into. small pieces, buttered individually and so conveyed con-veyed to the mouth? (6) What are the lucky dayr and months of people born March 5. 1904, also October 15. 1906? Thanking you In advance ad-vance and wishing you success in your work, I remain, JACKIE, Utah. My dear Jackie, you did not read the rules for this department, did you? Read them now and you will see your questions have exceeded the limit by four. You will remember this the-next the-next time, won't you? (1) If a mRrried woman she should sign herself, Mrs. John Smith : if a widow she may sign the same way or use her own name, as, Mrs. Mary Smith. If unmarried her signature should be her full name. Miss Mary Smith. (21 It hardly seems possible that any man could be so rude as to leave a girl standing-in standing-in the middle of a ballroom floor, but should he do this the only thing the sirl can do Is to find a seat for herself and avoid a repetition of this embarrassing situation, by tlie same person, at least. (3) For an afternoon reception re-ception or tea an elaborate afternoon dress Is very correct, although in this day of the popular pop-ular tailor-made suit or gown, either are quite permissible. This same dress is also proper for the theatre, and the hair may be dressed very elaborately. For the garden party toe fluffiest and daintiest of summer dresses are worn, with flower-laden hats and beruffled" sunshades, white 6hoes and gloves. (4) The man seats himself at the left of the lady at the table. (6) Break off a small bit of bread? at a time, butter and transfer to the mouth with the fingers. (6) For persons born in March, Wednesday is said to be their lucky day and September and May the lucky months. For October, Friday is the day, and August n4-December n4-December the months. Dear Miss Brooks, I have been very much interested in "Just-Between "Just-Between You and Me," and would like to ask you a few questions.

I am quite popular, but the-oh-r fellows usually take me too seriously-Thanking seriously-Thanking you in advance, I am, PEGGY. TTtah. (1) You are only a few pounds over weighty Peggy, so do not resort to a "tonic" yet. Yoo are slightly taller than the average girl of seventeen, bo I would say you are only about ' eight pounds over weight, and you can easily, kce? from puttinfr on more flesh by taking pl.-nty of exercise, such as walking, and all kinds of athletic snorts which you can indulge in now. Do not eat many sweets or fats. ?.) if your desire to become a movie actress is accompanied by talent along this line, certainly cer-tainly you should improve it. I see no reason why you should try to overcome it. (3) It is not for you to seek any boy's attention or affection, af-fection, Foggy It is yours to be always tlie sweet, lovcable, charming little lady, and attract at-tract their admiration and respect.

He will return re-turn to you if he wi".hes to. You can be pleasant pleas-ant and agreeable when you find yourself in his society, but it is not your privilege or place to make overtures to hinr--in any way, unless, of cour.-e, you were at fault when yo.tr "quarrel" occurred It is always "right" to admit you were "wrong," you knuw.
