Why are you lonely, why live alone? Have you no sweetheart? Have you ne home?" "I had a sweetheart, years, years, ago. Where she is now pet, you soon will know. List to my story, I'll tell It all, I believed her faithless, after the ball." I Chorus-Af- ter the ball was over, after the break of morn. After the dancers were leaving, after the stars were gone, Many a heart was aching, could you but read them all, Many a hope had vanished, after the ball. The lights were flashing, in the grant ball room. Softly the music playing sweet tunes. There came my sweetheart, my love my own, "I wish some water, leave me alone." When I returned, dear, there stood a man, Kissing my sweetheart as only lovers can, Down fell the glass, pet, broken, that's all, Just as my heart was, after the ball. Long years have passeJ, dear, I never wed. True to my lost love, though she is dead, She tried to tell me, tried to explain, I would not listen, her pleadings were In vain. One day a letter came from the man. He was her brother, the letter ran, That's why I'm lonely, no home at all, I broke her heart, pet, after the ball. To BLONDE. Preston, Idaho. Thanke very much for the song, my dear. I shall expect to hear from you again, then, some of these days. To MONTPELIER, Idaho. How can. I express to you my appreciation for taking the trouble to send such a lot of clippings? It must have taken you a long, long time to do this.

I sug-gest that you curl It on wax paper in tight curls, not combing these out after removing the paper. Cover them with a net, tucking the ends up under the net In the back carefully, and they will remain in for some time. Tou might wear a ribbon around the head, either over the forehead or across the top of head to hold front hair in place. To CORA, ft. Tou were Just as wel-come as could be. dear, to the song, and now when may I use the envelope you sent? It will be waiting for your query. To BETH, of Idaho. Awfully sorry, Beth.' but I cannot give the address of business firms or the names of any com-modity which Is sold commercially in my column. However, you need have no fear of the trouble you mention, from the use of a good article, as ev-erything is eliminated in the manufac-ture of such a product now which could cause you this trouble. Tou had better let me write you personally about this. Thank you so very much dear for your lovely words of commendation, and I wish I might answer you more fully at this time. Dear Miss Brooks: We would like to ask you a few ques-tions. (1) Is It proper for boys and girls to go In swimming together? (2) How old should you be before you al-low boy friends to call on you and take you out at nights? (.1) Is it any worse for a girl to smoke than a boy? (4) Why is It that boys have the habit of petting girls? Thanking you in ad-vance, we remain, truly, TOOTS AND CASPER. Utah. Thanks very, very much for the songs, girls. (1) Surely It Is proper for boys and girls to go In swimming together In a public pool, providing, of course, they have proper bathing suits and are properly chaperoned. (2) Not before you are sixteen, girls. (3) No, and yes. No, In the sense that it Is no more harmful physically to a girl than a boy. Tes, In the sense of its moral effect on both boys and girls. Men in general have always looked upon the gentler sex as being of finer clay than themselves as regards morals, which they undoubtedly have been. If then, a woman lowers her moral standard to the extent of smoking cigarettes with him, what effect could she reasonably expect this to produce? Quite naturally he would expect still further conces-sions. And why, In the name of all that Is reasonable, should she wish to smoke? The best that even its most enthusiastic adherents claim for it, is that "It does not harm them." No one ever claims that Its continued use Is beneficial. Why then, waste our time and energy on something we know from the beginning ran do tis no good, and may do us great harm? (4) Be-cause the girls have allowed them to form this habit, of course. Suppose the girls should all go on a petting strike? Tou don't Imagine you would find the boys petting each other, do you? MR. HAWLET. Itowe, Idaho. Below you will see one of the songs you re-quested some time ago. NO. SIR! Tell me one thing, tell me truly. Tell me why you scorn me so. Tell me why, when asked a question Tou will always answer, no? Chorus-- No. sir, no, sir, no, sir, No-o-a- -, Sir, No, sir, no, sir, no, sir, no. My father was a Spanish merchant, And before he went to sea. He told me to be sure and answer No, to all you ask of me. If. when walking In the garden. Plucking flowers wet with dew, Tell me, would you be offended. If I'd walk and talk with you? If when walking In the garden I should ask you to be mine And should tell you that I love you. Would you then my heart decline? To LTDIA. Panguttch, ft. Tou are Indeed thoughtful and generous to copy a song for my corner while 111 In bed! I sincerely hope you are fully recov-ered, and will be sending a few of the many questions you wish to ask as I will then feel I ran' partially repay you for your kindness. Couldn't think of troubling you for the music, my dear. To VERDA. Cedar City, Utah. Tour poem was sent to you several davs ago. All right. I'll guens again. I'll say eleven this time. Tour writing seems I "younger" this time. SONGS REQUESTED These songs and poems are on the requested and list: After Every Parting. There's a Little Bit of Bad In Every Good Little Girl. When the Work is Done In the Fall. Tip Top Tlpperary Mary. That's Why I'm Trying to Travel Back Again. First lines: When you leave mother's arms to roam, Tou're a million miles from nowhere. When you're one little mile from home. I Just came back to say good bye, and press you to my heart, And tell you how I love you, once again before we part. The sun had gone down O'er the hills in the west; All nature had faded, O'er the mossy, green crest.

I often wonder why they don't give you one whole page for letters. I have a few questions to ask which have been puzzling me for a long time and 1 wish you would answer them for me.

Please write me another letter and tell me how old you are and then I will tell you about the hair. Your questions would Indicate you were younger than your writing Indicates. (1) Stating it briefly I might advise that you should be a graceful and easy dancer, be able to talk intelligently and Interestingly to your partners, dress tastefully and let your conduct be above reproach. (2) The eyes and skin have so much more to do with what colors are becoming than does the hair that I cannot an-swer your question Intelligently. In your next letter tell me If you are a very "fair" or "medlctn" blonde. Yes, the long skirt Is much In evidence, but the outlook la hopeful that the extreme length will not be accepted generally, ankle length being worn by women, young girls from 8 to 10 inches from the floor. Dear Miss Brooks: This Is the first time I have written to your curner, hut have been rending It and have found very many helpful answers.

The club Is the St. Andrews, a few miles above Yonkers, N. ' y where a six-hol- e course was opened away back In 1897. The first club house was a table which sat at the first tee and the furnishings "comprised two tubs of ice water. Later on a tent was used. Nowadays no club Is satisfied unless It has spacious lawns, a big veranda, luxurious furnish-ing and a couple of professionals hanging around. It Is safe to ay that the Initiation fee was less then than It Is now. 3 .....a VAIN ATTEMPT TO BEAT LENGLEN Mile.

Slicing Is the bane of golfing ex-istence for thousands upon thousands of golfers. It Is really surprising how large a percentage never overcome the fault. The harder they try, the worse many of them get The fault arises from several dif-ferent causes. Probably In the ma-jority of Instances It Is derived from the habit of pulling In the arms Just as the ball Is struck. That, In turn. Is due to the fact that so many golf-ers are leaning backward as they com-plete their stroke. Nine times out of 10 the reason la that they are not well balanced at any stage of the stroke. The chances are that they are standing with legs too stiff at the start of the backswlng, so that when they try to pivot they merely straighten out the left leg and almost pull It off the ground In their endeavor to get tbe body around. This, In itself, Is enough to almost throw them completely off balance, the body can't get much of a turn, and practically all the weight remains on the right leg from start to finish of the stroke. Then as a rule the right arm goes out from tbe body and they bring It In as It comes down on the ball. This means coming across the ball from right to left and Imparting a spin which sends the ball to the right That left leg must not be stiff and straight on the backswlng. a q !
