I could then answer you direct. I will have to ask J you now to send stamod envelope for reply f to your question In regard to the eyelaih grow- J er. although many people consider white vas- , i eline very good to promote the growth of the ey laches and eyebrows. Moles are a difficult dif-ficult problem and cannot readily be removed. Tha electric needle Is some times used but is far from satisfactory. A solutir.n of bors and salt in proportion of one teaspoon to pint ' of water and appli d and let dry on the wart. w!H often times remove these. Also touching them with a caustic pencil obtaiard from your drug store will remove them. Be very careful in annlying the caustic not to touch the surrounding skin. Dear Miss Brooks : I have been reading your corner and I am also interested In it. Would like you u answer s few quast:on for me. 1) My B "e Hive symbol is a pond l!ly. meaning cheer-fulnrss, cheer-fulnrss, and I ran't find or think of a name. Could you tell me alwut it and help me find a name? (2) I have b-en taking piano Mesons for some time and I have got quite a ways in music, but I am very fond of a v'olin, and would like to take lessons on it, but woild have to stop piano lessons if ,- I did. So which would be beat? Respect. ,! dully yours, loth of Feptember. Tha akin on the Inside of my hapds is not soft What can I do? I suppose you will think I am taking np lota of room but when I start to ask questions I don't know when to stop. Hoping you Can give m good answers and lot ma coma again, I will close, your friend, LILLY, Manti. Utah. Ton are quit welcome, my dear, and if you had sent your name and address as requested re-quested at head of column, you would have received an earlier reply, as I could have aent your reply personally Not know ng your age, I do not know Just how much overweight over-weight you are. but about ten or twelve pounds, I imagine. I think you can easily reduce nsar that amount by dieting and exercise. exer-cise. Eliminate all white breads and pastry, also potatoes and pork from your menu. Take daily walks of from one to three miles. Of course you will hava to make a practice of keeping this up daily or it will bring you no results If you wish the reduction only for your hands, arms and hltis you will have to take special exercise. If you will send your name and a stamped envelope I will give you tha address of person who can give you Instruction for these special exercises. This anrilies to your hair. aln as I can give yi the name of a splendid tonic which will promote the growth of your hair. It sounds very much as though you had "anarled" and "rough d" your hair on the aides, whxh has hroken It off. The hair reouirea good care and attention to tay in good condition, and if it la neglected and mistreated, will show the effect. I would scarcely advise cutting It without knowing more of the general condition condi-tion of your hair and ealo Are yiur hands calloused, or Just harsh and dryT If the latter, lat-ter, a good hand lotion applied once or twice a day should keep them soft. If they are calloused from ao:ne kind of work, you should wear gloves to protect the palms.

I have had no ; spee'al "insoiratwn." What yould you think of "Wh!'e S'ar?" I get th s frr-i the Indian legend of the white lily. The Indians believed that the stars were the homes of those who had walkei across the Starry Bridge of Souls, and one night they saw a star leave the sky and come half way toward the earth. Th.t night a young brave dreamed that the star ca-o anl tr-ld him to ak his w'e men what r ; shape she might take that she could dwell with Ihe red people, whom she loved, forever. The wise men sa d for her to choose for herself. So at first she came to live in the heart of a white rose on the mountain aide, but aha was very lonely, ao she next took up her dwelling In a prairie flower, but great herds of bulTao went thundering by and she waa frightened. 80 ahe again set forth to find a resting place, and as she floated over a great, b'ue lake, ahe aaw her shadow In the water, and sank down to rest on Its cool bosom. The next morning the lake waa eov- ered with great, white, shining flowers, with ',' golden hearts. The Ind ans said the White Sar had called her, sisters to live among tl.em. They called them "Wahbegwannee, the White . Star Flowers." (2) It would depend on your talents, I should think, my dear girl. If yon think you are not especially g'fled for piano study, and that you are for the violin, why not continue the piano until you feel you arc capable of performing for your own entertainment enter-tainment and that of your friends, and then take np the violin atudy? You need piano even tliough you have more talent for tha violin. I would not feel like advising yntt further than this, not knowing upon which instrument you were most gifted.
