B., Richfield, Ida. Place your knife on the left aid because it would be extremely awk- v ' ward for a left-handed person to have his knife on the right hand, just aa it would be to reverse the situation with a right handed person. There seems to be gome question in regard to which is the proper position posi-tion for a young man to take when walking with two girls. Several good authoriti-fe claim that he should walk on the side where he can best protect pro-tect the ffirls, but I find the preponderance prepond-erance of opinion is that he should walk between the girls, where he can protect them equally; so I think I shall reverse my opinion which I kave heretofore given and say that a man should always walk between two gurla aud not at the side of one of tbom. This seems to be the up-to-dats ruling. Simply say that you do not cart to go to the party or whatever affair It -J may be. Your friend will doubtless i understand and not persist in his attentions. at-tentions. Dear Mis Brooks: I've been very interested in your corner (Between Yoik and Ma) I have two questions which have been puzzling me for some time. Here's hoping you can help me out. First, Is it proper for a girl 17 years old to go with a boy the same aget Second, Sec-ond, I had a severe cold about three weeks ago, which settled in my ears, leaving me hard of hearing. Both my ears feel like they are closing up. What would you advise me to do for them. Thanking you In advance, I am, AN INQUIRER from Utah. The fat that the boy is the same age as the girl does not make it improper im-proper for them to go together. As for the ears you should consult con-sult a physician, or better still a specialist, spe-cialist, if the condition continues. I cannot advise as to the physical health of my readers. Dear Miss Brooks: When a young man thanks a lady for a dance should she say anything? L. H , Spanish Fork. It is not necessary for a lady to say anythfhg when a man thanks her for a danco, although it would not be 'mproper for her to say she had en-ioyed en-ioyed the dance. Dear Miss Brooks: I read your list in the paper every Friday night so thought I would come to you for help. Can you give m ten reasons why columbine should be a national flower? WAITING, Manti, Utah. I do not know as you would exactly exact-ly ay the following were reasons why the columbine should bo a national na-tional flower, but they are reasons for recommending its cultivation. It is among the most beautiful and popular of all hardy plants; it can be used to advantage in half shady places; there are thirty different varieties; var-ieties; it docs well in almost all climates; cli-mates; for its profusion of phowy blossoms; for its delicate foliage; its graceful form of blossoms; its rich variation of colors and last but not least it is beautiful, for rockeries. I hope this will help you though I find I have given only nine reasons. Perhaps you can furnish the tenth. Dear Mias Brooks: I have been reading your corner and as you have helped others 1 thought may be you could answer my question. When walking along with a boy is it proper for the girl to take tho boy's arm, or the bay to take the girl's arm ? Also, when two girls are walking with one boy should the boy walk between the two girl? When an engaged girl is embroidering embroider-ing her linen should she put her initials ini-tials as they now are; or aa they will be after she is married? Thanking you ainceraly, I am, yours truly, LUCILE, Coye, Ore. A girl shmild always take a boy's arm, never the reverse. A boy should never walk between tw girls, but on the sid which will afford them the greatest protection from obstacles and danger. The initials of a girl's maiden name should always be used in preparing pre-paring her trousseau. Dear Miss Brooks: Would you please answer this question ques-tion which I have been trying to get for sometime. I would like to have the address of one er more film producers. pro-ducers. Ttanking you for your trouble, trou-ble, I shall be your friend, HELEN S., Utah. I am not just eure whether you wish tho addresses f film producers or motion picture producers. LThe Eastman East-man Kodak Company, whose address is Rochester, New York, are producers of most of the films used. LThe Universal Uni-versal Film Corporation, 1600 Broadway, Broad-way, New York City; the Metro Pictures Corporation, 1540 Broadway, New York City, and the Vitagraph Co., Inc., 469 Fifth Ave., New York City, are all big producers of motion pictures. Dear Miss Brooks: I hope that I will be welcome to join your cozy corner. I have a question ques-tion to ask you. Do yon know of a good play about fourteen girls could play in? Their ages are about twelve to fourteen. If so, is there posible way to get it? I wish you heaps of love and thanks for bothering bother-ing with me. Peggy, Ephraim, Utah Lt you will send me your name ami addres, Pegy, I will have mailed to you a catalog of plays with prices and full description, so you, may send for just what you wish Dear Miss Brooks: Will you please answer the following follow-ing for me: 1. What Will make white finger-nails pink? 2. Is glycerine gly-cerine and lemon juice a good bleach Cor,? an skin? If not, what is? 3. Will you publish the words of the song "Sweet Adeline?" Thanking you in advance, I am AN INQUIRER, Moroni, Utah You cannot make finger-nails pink except by the use of pink powder or paste when manicuring the nails and of course this does not leave any lasting color. Glycerine and lemon juice with rose water and a few drops carbolic acid well blended makes a mild bleach. I have been unable; to find th" words of the song "Sweet Adeline." Perhaps some reader may have the song and send us the words and then we will gladly publish them. - Dear Miss Brooks: I am interested in your corner for I always turn there first, to read the splendid advice you give the girls'. !
