Salt Lake City. a63- Dear Miss Brooks: very short time. Just have confidence wish you good success in answer- in yourself and it will help a lot. 1 ou ing my question, which 1 hope is not a have my best wishes. difficult one. .1 am asking how a young lady should act, look ond" dress to be popular among friends and gentlemen. gen-tlemen. With best wishes, COLD EN CLOW. Orangeville, Ut. This is quite a big question and a pertinent one in times like these, isn t it, dear? First, act naturally. Do not try to act like anyone but yourself, as an unnatural manner is not in the least attractive. However, I am taking it for granted that it is not natural for you to be boisterous and hoydenish, but that you are rather one of the timid ones; else you wouldn't be asking anyone any-one to help you, but would feel that you were not in need of any advice on the subject. Try to have a happy smiling countenance, and do not use too much in the way of cosmetics. I don't think the young girls with painted paint-ed lips and cheeks and faces that look as if they had been dipped in a flour barrel, look just right, do you? It is hka gilding the rose. A little powder to take the shine off isn't going to hurt anybody, but I'm sure that is all you need. As for the dress just don't go to extremes and you will be all right. Rolled hose, skirts to the knees, bobbed hair, and transparent waists may bring you a sort of popularity, but not the kind you are after, I am sure. Wear your skirts short, but not TOO short, and do not accept the exaggerated exaggerat-ed syles of hair dressing now in vogue. Dress neatly and quietly, be pleasant and courteous always, and one of these fine mornings you will wake up to find you have the best kind of popularity. Don't you think I am right? And here's hoping for the best of everything for you. Dear Helen Brooks: I will thank Sou ver much if you can help me. .fy face always had a few blackheads, but now I find it covered cov-ered with tan blotches. I also have an itching scalp. Thank you. "B." Coalville. Brown spots on the face are caused by many different things and you told ne really nothing about them; therefore, there-fore, I am afraid I cannot help much. They might be liver spots, caused by a torpid liver; or there may be something else wrong with your health. Not knowing what it is, I can only advise you to see your physician and have him tell you what is causing these spots in your case, and then we will have something to go on. Possibly a good freckle remover might help. If you cannot can-not get anything of the kind there, write me. and I will tell you where you may obtain it. If die itching scalp is caused by dandruff, there are a number of rem edies for this. Try shampooing your hair good with Physicians and Surgeon's Sur-geon's Soap, massaging the scalp thoroughly thor-oughly with the tips of the fingers, and pulling a small strand at a time until you have been all over the head. This brings the blood to the surface and stimulates the circulation, and if you will do this every night before retiring, I think you will soon see a general improvement im-provement in the hair and scalp. Dear Miss Brooks: I am now taking the liberty of writing writ-ing to asl( a question. I am a boy seventeen years of age end as yd haven't been able io go with any girl. They seem to turn me down. I put ihe blame on my not knwing manners of high society. If you can. tell me what is wrong. Sincerely Mours, l W.. Idaho. I suppose til is seems prclty serious to you, but really, you know, you are fairly young ycl and ought not to have been turned dewn many times. Perhaps you are a little bit diffident and self-conscious when in the company com-pany of gills, and it seems to be a failing of the fair sex Io rather admire l!ie srlf-assertive and bold in a man. But I don't advise you to cany these Inller traits loo far, as there is such a thing as over doing it. you know, h always helps a lot to feel at one's ease and lo know what is the proper thing Io do in all circumstances, nnd if you arc not acquainted with the l.tllc mailers of eitiuette thai are always cropping up, il would he a good plan lo buy you j a good book on this subject and read j up on it. and then practice what you i read whenever oppottuiiity presents itself. it-self. If you do not know of such a book, write nio again ami 1 will tell you the names of one or two of the bent ones. I do not feci that your predica-I predica-I ment is anything to wony shout, but that niMtors will right themselves in a |
