It isn't curlry, just sort of fluTy. Would you advise me to bob my" hair Misa Brooks? I have thought of bobbing It be-"' fore.

The single braid fastened- with a barrette half way down and the end In curls is always a pretty, girlish style, with the hair drawn softly bark from the face, but for a change why not part it on the aide and draw it softly back and over the ears, then divide It In two parts and ems It In the back twisting each side in figure e'ght and fasten across the nape of the neck fron car to ear with the ends hanging in loose) curls below.

I eould then answer you direct. I will have to ask you now to send stamped envelope for reply to your question In regard to the eyelash grower, grow-er, although many people consider white vaseline vas-eline very good to promote the growth of the eyelsshes and eyebrows. Moles are a difficult dif-ficult problem and cannot readily be removed. The electrie needle is some times used but Is far from satisfactory. A solution of borax and salt in proportion of one teaspoon to pint of water and applied and let dry en the wart, will often times remove these. Also touching .them with a caustic pencil obtained from your drug store will remove them. Be vary careful in applying the caustie not to My Dear Miss Brooks I I have been quite interested In one of the corners "Just Between You and Ma." Perhaps Per-haps you can solve some of my problems. (1) I have been attending; a boarding school and I don't like It. I have to return the first of October. Is there any way I can eoax my father to let me stay home and go to high school? (2) Then is a boy that I Tike very well but have never gone with him. Of course we have been friendly. , Is there any possible chance of me going with him (I would like to) or should I forget him (which I have tried and find it very bard.) Yours truly, KENT, Downey. Idaho. (1) My dear little girt, how fortunate you are to be able to attend boarding school, and how happy yon will be later on that you had the opportunity. Your father has only your best interests at heart or he would not send you. Can't yon see his viewpoint and be a dear, sensible little girl and go willingty and lladly. and make the very most of your opportunity op-portunity T There is so much time later on to think about the boys, and to devote to the social aide of II f , when It will be too 1st to obtain the education so necessary for filling any position, either in the business or social so-cial life, which may be yours. Perhaps when you return home from school next year you will be wiser and more attractive to your friend, so that be will be proud to take yon out. Think it over, girUe, and use your own good Judgment and I am sure yon will sea the light. Miss Helen Brooks t Have been receiving a Utah paper with your "questions and answers" in from a friend.
