May I Join your happy little corner Just for encef I am a lad about thirty-two years of age and 1 would like to know one or two things which have punled me for some time, (t) I srould like to know what kind of a girl makes the best home-wife, (2) flow would a man treat her if she was no good take her out ' and shoot her like you would an aid aowt May I write again t Yours truly, I WYOMING WIFE HUNTER. I Well, my lad, aren't yoo little young to I be seriously considering marriage t But of course if you insist upon taking thia rash step, j I shall kelp yoa all I can. Aa 1 think about It there comes to my mind small, fluffy, doll-tike, doll-tike, blonde type of girl, mainly perhaps because of your suggestion as to her alttanaU end, so that re ease you did decide to treat her tho-ly, she would be decile and willing to be led to the slaughter and not make a coarse and vulgar show of resistance. Personally 1 never really could make myself believe a woman should be treat -d as a cow, especially an old cow. I have always believed that if a girl is treated with a certain amount of conaid-eratkin conaid-eratkin anal not considered merely as a sort of slave, and expected to drudge out her existence ex-istence in cooking, sc subbing, washing and ironing, that she will respond by setting that a man's home Is kept in order, his mending done and buttons sewed on, and of fan timeo will make every effort to cater to hut many peculiarities; and what more could man want. Mr. Wife Hunter, than this? Dear Miss Brooks: I kavo been reading your corner tor Ions time and am very interested in it. I would lace Reid. Rodolph Valentino at the Laky Studios. Vine St. Hollyood. Calif., and Charles ("Buck") Jones at the Fox Studios, WesUrn Ave, Hollywood. Calif. Thanks, my dear, for your good wUhea, ' ' Dear Mist Brooks: Thia ia the first time I have written to yoo, but I hone 1 am welcome to your corner.. Will yoo please answer my questions T (1) What i the history and characteristics of the daisy? (2) What is the lucky days, months and colors col-ors of one born in September T Thanking yoa in advance, I remain, IOENE, Delta, Utah. Yoo are most welcome, loene. The daisy ia a familiar and .favorite flower of Europe and America. The typical daisy ia pure white and single, wth a yellow or brown center. Wthout any care or attention this little flower will grow and spread and choke out other plants, so to the farm-r or gardener it is a weed, the white-weed, but to the florist It is the popular Marguerite. Some of Its re'ative are the shasta dairy, the blaek-seyed Susan and wtld asters, and there is a grs mt variety of colors. In the days of chivalry the daiy was the emb'tm of love and fidelity, but in the modern flower language It represents simplicity, simplic-ity, innocence and modesty. (2) See answer to A. C, Salnia, Utah, for September birthday birth-day reading. FRECKLES. Springville, Utah.
