Dear Miss Brooks : 1 enjoy very much your little corner and 1 would be glad if I could join it and be welcome. Would you plense answer these few questions I am asking- (1) What is a good remedy for making eye lashes grow ? (2) What can be done to remove moles and warts? Yours very truly. MICKEY, Preston, Idaho. Mickey, dear, read the instructions nt head of column and send us your name. I could then answer you direct. I will have to ask you now to send stamped envelope for reply to your question in regard to the eyelash grower, grow-er, although many people consider white vaseline vas-eline very pood to promote the growth of the eyelashes and eyebrows. Moles are a difficult dif-ficult problem and cannot rendily be removed. The electric needle is some times used but is fur from satisfactory. A solution of borax and salt in proportion of one teaspoon to pint of water and applied and let dry on the wart, will often times remove these. Also touching them with a caustic pencil obtained from your drug store will remove them. Be very careful in applying the caustic not to touch the surrounding skin. Dear Mips Brooks : I have been reading your corner and I am also interested' in it. Would like you to answer a few questions for me.

Glacier National Park has an area of 14 00 square miles, and takes its name from the glaciers, about sixty in number, varying in size rrom a fpw acres, to several square miles Blackfeet Glacier is th most beautiful in the United States as well as the largest, being five miles squarer having hav-ing an elevation ofl 8.000 feet.

I j suppose you will think I am taking up lot j of room but when I start to ask questions I don't know when to stop. Hoping you can give me good answers and let me come again, 1 will close, your friend, LILLY. Manti. Utah. "You are qui:e welcome, my dear, and if you had sent your name and address as requested re-quested at head of column, you would have received an earlier reply, as I could have j sent your reply personally. Not knowing your j age, I do not know just how .much oxer-weight oxer-weight you are. but about ten or twelve I poinds, I imagine. I think you can easily reduce near that amount by dieting and exercise. exer-cise. Eliminate all white breads and pastry, j also potatoes and pork from your menu. Take daily walks of from one to three miles. Of course you will have to make a practice of keeping this up daily or it will bring you no results If you wish the reduction only for your hands, arms and hips you will have to take special exercise. If you will send your name and a stamped envelope I will give you the address of a person who can give you instruction for these special exercises. This applies to your hair, also, as I can give you the name of a splendij tonic which will promote the growth of your hair. It sounds very much as though you had "snarled" and "roughed" your hair on the sides, which has broken it off. The hair requires good care and attention to stay in good condition, and if it is neglected and mistreated, will show the effects. 1 would scarcely advise cutting vt without kpowing more of the general condition condi-tion of your hair and' calp. Are your hands calloused, or just harsh and dry? If the latter, lat-ter, a good hand lotion applied once or twice day should keep them soft. If they are calloused from oome kind of work, you should wear gloves to protect the palms. Come as often as you wish, but read the in-?tructions in-?tructions at head of column before writing, always. Dear Miss Brooks : I have been reading your corner for some time and am satisfied with your answers. Here are a few questions I would like answered: an-swered: U) What can you do to make a boy friend who is very dear to you be honest and frank about . where and how he spends his nights? (2) How can you make yourself tat-e well in company? (31 When you are car riding with a steady boy friend, is it proper to put your arm on the back of the seat and rest your hand on his shoulder? If not, ho-- should you sit? (4) What kind of things s'A" d a girl start on when she is preparing a ..ope chest? (5) I have been going steady with a boy for one year, and he has given me two pieces of jewelry for presents and four other pieces because he wanted to. If he were to quit me, what should I do with 'he jewelry ? He has told me he never would ake the two that are presents back again, hut he never said anything about the rest. If he does not take them., is it proper to wear them like I always did before the parting? part-ing? (6) Wha.t are nice presents to give boys ? (7) Is it proper that a girl going steady with a boy should chase out with oher boys? f8) What is a good course for a girl to take in school ? I mean a high school girl Thank-;ng Thank-;ng you very much for your trouble, and hoping you will be able to anwev them all without delay With lt nf -o-d ln-k, I a-n. BRIGHT EYES of "Utah (1 ) You can do nothing, my dear, if he does not care enough for you to t?ll you. Do not ' nag." Perhaps this is the reason he does no! tell you because yon ask him. He may feel that it is his own afT-iir where sncT how he spends him time, and I'm not sure but he is right If you are more than mere friend? to each other, it is a different, proposition ; but I believe you pre ill to young to be mor than just friends with boys. (2) I cannot tell you what to do, other than to be pleasant and agreeable and consider 1 the other fellow's feelings always. Cultivate a pleasant personality. (3) No, it is not proper pro-per to rest your hand on his s'ilder. Car riding does not require such a different position posi-tion for the hands than when sitting in a chair or any other place, do you think? (4) There are innumerable thintrs. Bright Eyes. You might begin with a luscheon set, or a tablecloth, pillow slips, underwear, pillow tops, table runners, etc. (5) It is usually considered i oroper to return all presents of value after a , -nisunderFtanding. but it depends entirely upon the parties concerned as to whether you wear the unreturned ones. (6) Would depend i.non how long you have known him. Bright a violin, and would like to take lessons on it, but would have to stop piano lessons if I did. So which would be best? Respect-dully Respect-dully yours, MARY, Sprmtrville. Utah. (1) A symbolic name for the pond lily has seemed quite difficult. I have had no special "inspiration." What yould you think of "White Star?" I get this from the Indian legend of the white lily. The Indians believed that the stars were the homes of those who had walked across the Starry Bridge of Souls, and one night they saw a star leave the sky and come half way toward the earth. That night a young brave dreamed that the star -amc and told him to ask his wise men what shape she might take that she could dwell with the red people, whom she loved, forever. The wise men said for her to choose for herself. So at first she came to live in the heart of a while rose on the mountain side, but she was very lonely, so she next took up her dwelling in a prairie flower, but great herds of buffalo went thundering by and she was frightened. So she again set forth to find a resting place, and as she floated over a great, blue lake, she saw her shadow in the water, and sank down to rest on its cool bosom. The next morning the lake was covered cov-ered with great, white, shining flowers, with golden hearts. The Indians said the White Star had called her sisters to live among them. They called them "Wnhbegwannee. the White Star Flowers."' (2) It would depend on your talents, I should think, my dear girl. If you think you are not especially gifted for piano study, and that you are for the violin, why not continue the piano until you feel you are capable of performing for your own entertainment enter-tainment and that of your friends, and then lake up the violin study ? You need piano even though you have more talent for the violin. I would not feel like advising you further than this, not knowing upon which instrument you were most gifted. A Questioner from Orangeville, Utah : Here are the Indian names, with their symbolic meanings which I promised you last week: Cikudcska, song bird : Nanko. path : Minisa, red water : Bonsongee, the new fire ; Nichia. river ; Lola, to trust ; Okizu, to be united ; Ohiya, victorious ; Onchiota, rainbow ; Anan-gons, Anan-gons, little star. Dear Miss Brooks: I have been interested in your corner for a long time and thought I would like to ask you a few questions (1) If you are going home alone, and a boy. whom you do not like, comes up and takes hold of your arm without with-out asking, and you do not want him to walk home with you, what is the proper thing to say lo him? (21 I desire very much to attend high school this year and need some noney lo buy books, etc. Can you tell me how I can earn money in my spare time? Thanking you in advance. SUNSHINE. Utah. Tell hijn you prefer to go home alone. This should be sufficient, and would be proper under un-der the circumstances (2) The field seems limited as to varieties of ways to earn money in a small town, but if you are at all adapted for it. you can do well by taking subscriptions to popular magazines or books, which can he obtained only through agents.

Dear Miss Brooks : We have been very interested in your corner cor-ner and have a few questions that are bothering bother-ing us and would like to see if you would help us with them. (1) What will take off freckles, moles, warts and pimples? (2) What will make skinny girls fat? (3) What are the best studies to take in first year high ? (4) When you have weak eyes what will prevent glasses? (6) What is the best tooth paste to use? (6) What is the best kind of soap to wash your hair with?

(2) Eat plenty of all kinds of vegetables and fruit, drink good, rich milk, a quart a day at least, and if there ib nothing wrong with your general health you will put on weight, but you must make a practice of following this up as a regular daily habit. A raw egg beaten in the milk is also splendid. t3) As I have told a number of others this depends so much on what you have in mind for the future.
