gills and 1 advise that you follow your own sweet way it if this does not affect the one you have in mind try it on another boy who perhaps has a more susceptible heart t dear miss hiss brooks this Is my first attempt to write to you but hope I 1 am welcome 1 how tall and how much should a girl weigh that la Is 10 years old 2 it if a boy tells a girl to write to him bim and gives her hat its his address and the girl writes and he answers would you advise the girl to write again wishing you luck and success in your work BROWN EYES etts idaho you are welcome and hope you come again 1 I the average height of a girl of sixteen Is about 62 inches and the weight is pounds 1 you should have told the young man you would answer his letter after he had first written to you but as you ha hae a already written to him first and he has answered let it go at th that at and write again it if you wish to do so and he be has expressed a desire tor for you to thanks brown eyes I 1 dear helen would

cared tor for but my heart has found the girl ot of my dreams now I 1 proposed it to her but she Is so different that im afraid it if I 1 wait she will want some one else more her own age better educated and with more money and one who dances ive nover been to high school she Is it a sophomore it if we do marry I 1 intend to put her clear through school I 1 hav almost paid for a pretty home which I 1 know the she will like I 1 dont want her for her money because she any I 1 know I 1 am respected and I 1 can obtain a recommend please tell medhat me what to do yours enviously TROUBLED vt ut and so you think you have found the girl of girls and you ask me it if you ar old enough to marry this would be a difficult question tor for me to decide abr you however I 1 have your letter to judge jou oa by and I 1 am inclined to think you are old enough but the sweetheart sixteen is very lor for EL a girl to know liar her own heart and for our own sake as well as an hers I 1 would advise that you let her know dear miss brooks will ill you kindly publish in the paper liow how to launder organdy dresses to make them look as near now new as possible I 1 shall chall be very grateful for this laforga lion respectfully Respectful lv SIRS IRI E F sugar house vt ut my first suggestion Buse estton would be for you to dry clean it tb this Is can be done very satisfactorily at be home me by obtaining the ehg boot beet grade of gasoline possible and then proceed ad to wa wash the garment Bari nent as you would were you washing it in water using a pure white soap and squeeze rather than rub it rinse thoroughly once or twice in clean gasoline gasoline of course should tie be used out of doors boora away from fire and the garment eari nent should hang outside for one day at least the gasoline used in this proc how dearly you love her bar but be content with this for about two more years would it not be much bettor better to have her find fand some one she might lovo love better before you marry her than afterward ter ward you can afford to wait as you will be but twenty five then and in those two years the little home nest can be made cozier still and if 1 the love you think yours now should turn out to belong to another you have been saved the greater pain at least because to know her to be unhappy illk you or seek happiness with another after the marriage vows would indeed be the greater pain would it not your love seems true blue and bour our plans for your little sweetheart seethe Rrt sound wonderfully unselfish but as I 1 see it my advice would be to just wait a little while it at least what do you think can you see it this way now I 1 shall be very kery glad to hear from you again after you tou t ou have thought it over may I 1 dear miss brooks here comes another questioner I 1 guess you wont mind it if I 1 ask you two wo questions that I 1 think important I 1 certainly enjoy reading between you fou and me 1 what makes a persons mouth so dry that they can hardy ly speak when they are talking or reading before an audience 2 what Is s a becoming way tor for a girl of four teen een years to comb or do her hair when it I 1 la Is not yet to the shoulders after it has as been bobbed and what should bo be done one nith ft ath the split ends or the knobs on n the end of it wishing you happl happiness and success I 1 remain yours montpelier ida awfully sorry questioner but your answers were sent to the name you enclosed in our letter and are now returned to me marked unknown hence this delay you are welcome I 1 assure you and I 1 thank you for liking my corner and for your good wishes 1 there are several lessons for the mouth becoming dry when one is talking or reading before an audience first it is partly due to nervousness and stags fright then the mouth being open so much the glands are exposed to the air and this quickly dries up some of at the moisture nervousness and fear interfere with the glands discharging as much moisture as they otherwise would it if you will hold your mouth open a iloilo bit you will notice how quickly it becomes dry and people who steel sleep with their mouth open find it absolutely dry when they waken people who are accustomed to speaking and feel no timidity generally have a pitcher of water on the stage when they are making a talk of any length as no doubt you have noticed C 2 it la Is bulte a problem to know what to do with bobbed hair when it begins to grow out however it if you are at all clever undoing up your hair I 1 think it if you will tie it in the back having first drat curled it and then arrange the short curls across the back pinning them in place that you will find this rather a nice way to do it or it if you cannot mako make the pins stay stay lit in in this way weave our ribbon rib bonIn in and out and arrego arrange the hair so it cin can be planed pinned above and below it it your hair Is too short to do this nicely about the only thing you can do Is to have your cut hair made into a national bob or curls to get rid of the split ends the best way vay Is to 0 have it singed carefully I 1 this Is ja my first entrance into your corner I 1 have enjoyed the information from your little corner and now I 1 hope hop I 1 am welcome 0 i what should you say to a person when you refuse to dance with him 2 and what Is the proper thing to say to your partner
