Vail, assistant director of Roosevelt House (extreme right), talking to some of the namesakes and their mothers ' Dear Misa Brooks: I received the poem all rlg-h-t and many thanks for It. (1) When a boy writes to you and you answer his letter and he quits writing:, should you write again? Thanking you for the answers to the question, 1 remain TOUR FRIEND. I hope you enjoy the poem, my dear. (1) No, you should not write a second letter without receiving an answer, un-less you have very good reasons for thinking hs did not receive your first letter. Miss Helen Brooks: I received such a good answer before, I will attempt to write again. (1) What is the state flower of Wyoming and what does the flower represent? Why do they have one? (2) Why do they always bring the flag half way down the flag pole Just before sun down? (3) What is love? When girls ask questions they nearly always ask About boys, or they are heart-broke-r things about love, why do they do fo? We wish you oceans of success are, HAKADAH and SHECHOKA, From dear old Wyoming and Idaho. The state flowsr of Wyoming is the gentian and in the language of flowers means "virgin pride." Nearly every state as well as nearly every nation has a flower as an emblem. There seems to be no special reason for this other than that from earliest times this custom has been followed. It is the symboliz-ing of a sentiment brought about in days of old through the flowers associ-ation with Important events or with religious ceremonies. For instance. th gift books would delight her. Then there are the exquisite bottles of per-fumes and toilet waters which never fall to satisfy, as well as monogramed stationery or writing desk equipment, and lastly, wliat girl falls to respond to a lovely box of candy? Dear Miss Brooks: I have called on you for help before and was very well pleased with the answers. (1) What should the bride do and say upon the receipt of wedding presents? (2) I have never met my betrothed's sister, but we correspond. Would It be proper to send her a Christmas gift? If so, what? (3) My hair is quite short as I had it bobbed a year ago, I have a full oval face and 1 am eighteen years old. My hair is course and straight. How can I comb It becomingly? (4) How can I keep my hands and nails tidy? They are in-clined to look rough and uncared for and I am unable to keep the cuticle back. Hoping we are welcome and wishing you much success, we are, two constant readers, PAL and SKEEZIX, Idaho. Always welcome, girls. (1) A wed-ding gift should be acknowledged by a personal or written expression of ap-preciation and thanks as soon as re-ceived. The exact wording must nec-essarily vary according to the gift. Let your expression be sincere and natural. (3) Yes, Indeed, quite proper. Any dainty hand made underthlngs are sure to be most welcome to any girl. Then there are so many varieties of lovely hand bags one can muke, fancy garters and ribbon novelties for the dressing table or for personal wear, dainty lotus flower was always connected In the minds of th Egyptians with their gods and with wisdom. The Tudor rose was chosen as England's national emblem after the close of the War of the Roses, and the shamrock holds this place in Ireland because St. Patrick used It to illustrate one of his sermons. The state flowers are usually ones which are more prominent locally than others, or beloved for sentimental rea-sons. (2) The raising of the flag at sunrise and lowering at sunset is mere-ly a form of respect to our flag. This custom was Inaugurated by our govern-ment and is followed by all govern- ment institutions over which Old Glory floats. (3) I refer you to your diction-ary. Also, girls, love is the greatest thing In the world, taken in its broad, human sense. Love Is a word greatly abused, because it is so often applied to emotions which have no relation whatsoever to love In its true sense. Why do so many girls ask such ques- tions? Because at that particular time those questions are, in many Instances, of the greatest Importance to them. My Dear Miss Brooks: I am going to over-ste- p your rule of two questions, by rather a long stride, but I don't know when I shall be able to write again. (1) Is it good taste for young girls to wear Jewelry even to a moderate extent? (2) I am 13 years old and normally tall, a little slender, grey-brow- n eyes, medium dark hair. What color do you think would be good for me to us to make a dancing Town? t RAE, Utah. Tnrl and vaii AtA k.a.1. . . 1 aprons and pillows, hosiery, perfume or beads. (3) The perfectly straight bob Is the very newest thing In bobbed hair, and you shou'd be able to wear It as becomingly as anyone. You could also wear it becomingly If it were waved and brought smoothly down from a side or center pnrt, with the ends curled under. (4) Use a good hand lo-tion daily. Push the cuticle carefully back with rubber-tippe- d orange wood stick, each time the hands are removed from water. File the nails regularly to keep them well shaped and unbroken. Dear Miss Brooks: May I enter your corner? I am a girl of twelve, and want to ask you a question or two. (1) When any of my friends have a party and just invite the boy friends, and the reBt of the girls go home with the boys is It proper for me to go with a boy too? (2) What Is the meaning of the following names: Agnes, Phlllis and Lida? Wishing you bushels of good luck, PEGGY, Idaho. You are most welcome, l'eggy, to be sure. (1) Yes, it Is qirtte all right for one of the boys to walk home with you from a neighborhood party, Peggy. (2) Agnes means "pure, sacred, chaste." Phlllis or Phyllis means "a green bough." Lida In probably the same as Lydla, derived from the Greek, mean-ing "a native of Lydia." Thanks for your good wishes, dear. To MRS. J. 8., Spanish Fork, Utah. Through the kindness of a reader I am enabled to print the poem you request-ed recently. j irican ouuig i uiODi my dear. Never the less a rule Is a rule, you know, and must be adhered to. (1) This depends upon the occasion, Rae. It is really not in good taste for any- one to wear Jewelry conspicuously while engaged In their dally occupa-tion or while on the street. For social affairs it Is perfectly good tasts to wear a modest amount of well selected Jew-elry. (2) If your skin Is clear, and color good, you will look charming In a dance frock of either jade green, blue gray, lavender, periwinkle, pal pink, flame, bronze or gold. Dear Miss Brooks: I hav been a silent reader of our corner "Between You and Me" for some time. I hav received some very good Information and advice. What is Mary Plckford's husband's name and address? BRIGHT EYES, Ut. Welcome, Bright Eyes. The names you give are not of screen "stars." and I do not And one of them listed In any picture directory 1 have. Mary Pick-ford- 's husband Is Douglas Fairbanks, and may bo addressed at the Pickford-Falrban- Studios, Hollywood, Calif. You forgot to address the envelope you enclosed in your letter, or give your name. I will keep the envelope, how-ov- er and If you see I have received the ong you request, send in for it. Dear Miss Brooks: I am writing you to see if you can send mo the Eyo Flirtation. I would like It very much. If you could get it I would bo very thankful to you. I remain, T. L., Idaho. Sorry, T. L., that I cannot make you happy by sending what you request, but I do not happen to have such flirtation as you wish. Dear Miss Brooks: I am very Interested In your part In our paper and think your help it won-derful. I hava tried for several years to get a reading I once knew. I got it WHEN PA SfHAVED OFF HIS WHISKERS I haven't had such Jolly fun for forty thousand years, Jes' laughed until I thought my eyes was runnln' out in tears. An' ma she slapped me on the back to help me ketch my breath. An' said she couldn't blame mo if I laughed myself to death. My ribs got sore like they was biles, my head got achin' and My inside flxln's hurt like they had more than they could stand. An' every time I ses him yet I have to fetch a grin, Because he looks so awful queer with nothln' on hi chin. There never was a father's son That had such Jolly, roarln' fun As me, since children was begun, Since Pa shaved off his whiskers. Ho blushed Jes' like a giggly girl when he come home that night. An' ma, she met him at the door and nodded real polite, An' asked him If he'd not como In, of him o'er, Jes" like she was a wonderln whero she'd seen them clothes before. Sho offered him the rockln' chair, and asked him fur his hat. An when she hung it up, sho looked suspiciously at that. An' him all the time, and her skeered, An' me of him up an' honestly afeard! But when he looked almighty sly At me, and winked his other eye, I yelled to bust: "Why ma, the guy Is Pa; shaved off his whiskers." Pa heaved back In the rockin' chair an' fetched a big "Haw, haw." I had a real hysterics fit, an' roared an1 squealed, an' ma She stood like she was paralyzed, an' tared In stupid way, Jes" like to save her life she couldn't think of what to say. An' then she reached her fingers out an' from a magazln and don't know the author, but tha nam of it is "How the Christmas Praysr Was Answered, as Told by the Kitchen Clock." Part of the first verse Is: "I remember the brlKht June morning, when they brought me home from the store and hun me up here in the kitchen." I weuld like very much to find It and thouKht, perhaps you could help me. Tours very sincerely, MARCELLE, Idaho. I'm very sorry that I have benn un-able to locate a reading by the title you mention. Neither can It be found under the index of first lines. However, I will let your letter Bpeak for Itself, hoping-- It will bring a response In the form of the much desired poem, In which case It will be forwarded to you. Thanks, Marcelie, for your expressed appreciation of my corner. I'enr Miss Brooks: Juft one question of you please, a question that lias bothered my mind for several days I have know a a very nice little Kill of 18 years of are for about threo months now und at present I consider the girl only as a very dear friend, and I would like you to suir:,'est a few tilings which would be proifr to preaent to her as aChrlstinns gift under the circumstances. Thanking you in advance, I remain, sincerely yours. RAI'HAKU Utah. I m sure this little friend would be mado inite happy If she should receive any one of the articles I mention, and they would t,e entirely appropriate. If she bo addicted to the kodaking habit 0110 nf the many lovely kodak alliums will make a S'jr appeal, or In cua ah Is n.t now a kodsk enthusiast the gift of a camera would soon make on of her. If she lor books, then a lovely sUastc vr any en of th laoumsrabU ruoDea im on nis chin. An' darned if either on of 'em could do a thing-- but grin, An' then she stooped and tuk a kiss, an' say, I'll jus' be blamed. That orful naked mouth of pa's looked like it was ashamed. Twas orful mean of me, I know, But I jes' hid to laugh or go Insane, It paralyzed me so, When pa shaved off his whiskers. When ma regained her consciousness I heard her softly say, "Why, Willyum," you hain't looked so young fur, many an' many a day-L- ook something like you uster look them times when me and you Was court In' up to married life, Indeed, indeed you do." An' then she sat upon his knee of his chin, Jes' like they was a lovln' pair that wasn't any kin. An' me on the floor, Jes' like a dying calf, Fur every time I'd take a peep at pa, I'd have to laugh, Hut now he doesn't look so bad. An' never was a prouder lad Than me, to have so young a dad. Blnce I'a shaved off his whiskers. Dear Miss Brooks: I have been reading the corner for long time and have decided to join It (1) What color of dress would 1 look good In?

Coach Yost's task will fall to George Little, who Is 18 or 20 sizes larger than his name might Indicate. In Paris, men are wearing ear-rings. What next will the followers of fashion get Into their heads? Those marks have got to the point where they are about as valuable as Germany's wartime propaganda. A few million German marks might come In handy for the man who likes to bet en all the football games. Many a mother who rears her boy to be neat and clean never looks for-ward to a muddy football field. An applicant for citizenship In New York said Babe Ruth was President of the United States, striking out. One of fashion's colors Is called "smoke," but It's hard to tell which brand of bituminous It represents.

The man who can still get a thrill out of seeing 22 boys on a football field Is not old, even though he may be ninety by the book. Modern boys get more romance out of their radio messages than their fa-thers used to get at their age out of robbing watermelon patches. The wife says he Is fiery but lovable.
