JlLC3nC I should a left handed person pot their knife onT (2) When a young man is walking down the sidewalk with two girls would he walk between them or on one side? (3) When a boy ask to take you some place and you don't care to go with him what kind of an excuse could you nave so that he will not come back again? I thank you. K . ELIZABETH E. B., Richfield, Ida. Place your knife on the left aid because it would be extremely awkward awk-ward for a left-handed person to have his knife on the right hand, Just aa it would be to reverse the situation with a right handed person. There seems to be some question In regard to which is the proper position posi-tion for a young man to take when walking with two girls. Several good authorities claim that he should walk on the side where he can best protect pro-tect the girls, but I find the preponderance prepond-erance of opinion is that he should walk between the girls, where he can protect them equally; so I think I shall reverse my opinion which I have heretofore given and say that a man, should always walk between twrt girls and not at the side of one oj !hem. This seems to be the up-to-date ruling. ' i Simply say that you do not care t go to the party or whatever affair it may be. Your friend will donbtles understand and not persist in hia attentions. at-tentions. Dear Miss Brooks: I've been very interested in yeu comer (Between Youi and Me.) I, have two questions which have been puzzling me for some time. Here! hoping you can help mo out. First, Is it prooer for a girl 17 years old to go with a boy the same age? Second, Sec-ond, I had a severe cold about three weeks ago, which settled in my ears, leaving me hard of hearing. Both my eXrs feel like they are closing up. What would you advise me to do for them. Thanking you in advance, I am, AN INQUIRER from Utah. The fact that the boy is the same age as the girl does not make it Improper Im-proper for them to go together. As for the ears you should consult con-sult a physician, or better still a specialist, spe-cialist, if the condition continue. I . IL. cannot advise as to the physical health of mv readers. . Dear Miss Brooks: When a youns man thanks a ladr for a dance should she say anything? L. H., Spanish Fork. It is rot necessary for a lady to say anything when a man thanks her for a danr rl'hongh it would hot be 'tnprnper for her to say she had enjoyed en-joyed the dance. Dear Miss Brooks: I read your list in the paper every Friday night so thought I would come to you for help. Can you give me ten reasons why columbine should be a national flower? WAITING, Manti, Utah. I do not know as you would exactly exact-ly eay the following were reasons why the columbine should be a national na-tional flower, but they are reasons for recommending its cultivation. It Is among the most beautiful and popular of. all hardy plants; it can be used to advantage in half shady places; there are thirty different varieties; var-ieties; it docs well in almost all climates; cli-mates; for its profusion of showy blossoms; for Its delicate foliage; its graceful form of blossoms; its rich variation of colors and last but not least it is beautiful, for rockeries. I hope this will help you though I find I have given only nine reasons. Perhaps you can furnish the tenth. Dear Miss Brooks: I have been reading your corner and as you have helped others I thought may be you could answer my questions. When walking along with a boy i9 it proper for the girl to take the boy's arm, or the boy to take the girl's arm? Also, when two girls are walking with one boy should the boy walk between the two girls? When an engaged girl is embroidering embroider-ing her linen should she put her initials ini-tials as they now are, or as they will be after she is married? Thanking you sincerely, I am, yours truly, LUCILE, Cove, Ore. A girl should always take a boy's arm, never the reverse. A boy should never walk between two girls, but on the side which will afford them the greatest protection from obstacles and danger. The initials of a girl's maiden name should always be used in preparing pre-paring her trousseau. Dear Miss Brooks: Would you please answer this question ques-tion which I have been trying to get for sometime. I would like to have tho address of one or more film producers. pro-ducers. Thanking you for your trouble, trou-ble, I shall be your friend, HELEN S., Utah. I am not Just sure whether you wish the addresses of film producers or motion picture producers. Line Eastman East-man Kodak Company, whose address is Rochester, New York, are producers of most of the films used. LThe Universal Uni-versal Film Corporation, 1600 Broadway, Broad-way, New York City; the Metro Pictures Corporation, 1540 Broadway, New York City, and the Vitagraph Cs Inc., 469 Fifth Ave, New York City, are all big producers of motion pictures. Dear Miss Brooks: I hope that I will be welcome to join your cozy corner. I have a question ques-tion to ask you. Do you know of a good play about fourteen girls could play in? Their ages are about twelve to fourteen. If so, is there posible way to get, it?
