welcome to come to yur your home any time they wish there is 13 scarcely anything which will make and hold friends so effectively as this atmosphere mo rno sphere of hospitality pervading the home 2 1 I do not imagine I 1 would do much of any thing dear girls except leave him pretty much alone jealousy Is a form of 0 selfishness which should not be tolerated 3 there are ways way and ways girls and I 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 dear miss bliss 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 Is 18 16 years old 2 it if a boy tells IL a 9 girl irl to write to him and gives her h his I 1 1 address addre 8 a and th the a girl writes and ho he answers would you advise the girl to write again wishing you luck and success a in your work BROWN EYES idaho you are welcome and hope you come

please help a stranger as y you ou have helped many others I 1 am 23 she is IB 16 1 I love her and she loves me are we too young to get married I 1 never knew another girl that I 1 even cared for but my heart has found the girl of my dreams now I 1 proposed it to her but she glie is so daffer different nt that im afraid it I 1 wait she nil III want some one else moie her own on age better educated and with more money and one who dances ive nver nover been to lo high school she Is a sophomore if we do marry I 1 intend to put her clear through school I 1 have hav almost paid for A pretty home which I 1 know she will like I 1 dont want her for her money because she adv I 1 know I 1 am respected and I 1 can obtain a recommend please tell me what to do enviously TROUBLED ut and so you think you have found the girl of girls and you ask me it 1 you are old enough to marry ibis would be a difficult question for me ine to decide abr you however I 1 have your letter to judge you yon by and I 1 am inclined c to think you are old enough but the swe sweetheart etheart sixteen Is very yung young for a girl to know her own heart and tor for your own sake as a ell as hers here I 1 would advise that you let her know dear miss bliss brooks will you kindly publish in the paper how to launder organdy dresses to make them look as near new as possible I 1 hall be very grateful for or this informs tion alon respectfully Respectful lv MRS AIRS E F fi sugar house ut UL I 1 my aly fart suggestion would be for or you to dry clean it this can be done very satisfactorily at home by obtaining the best beat grade of gasoline possible and then proceed to wash the garment as you would were you washing bushing it in water using a pure white soy and squeeze rather than rub it rinse kanso thoroughly once 0 9 twice in clean gasoline gaab line of course should b be e used out of doors s way away from fire and the garment should hang outside for one day at least the gasoline casol lne used in this proc how dearly you yon love her but be content with this for about two more years would it not be much better to have her find some one she might 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 homo home nest can be made cozier still and it if the love you think yours now should turn out cut to belong to another you have been saved the greater pain sit at least because to know her to be unhappy with you or seek happiness with another after the marriage vows would indeed bo be the greater pain would it not your love seems true blue and your plans for your little sweetheart sound wonderfully unwin floh sh but as I 1 see it my advice would be to just wait a little while at least what do you think can you see it this way now I 1 shall b be s very glad to hear bear from you again after r you have thought it over may 19 I 1 dear miss alias brooks here comes another questioner I 1 guess you wont mind if 1 I 1 ask you two questions that I 1 think important I 1 certainly enjoy reading between B you and me ate 1 what makes a persons mouth so dry that they can hardly speak when they are talking or reading before an audience 2 what Is a becoming way for a girl of fourteen years to comb or do bar hair when it Is not yet to the shoulders after it has been bobbed and what should be done with the split ends or the knobs on the end of it wishing you happiness and success I 1 remain yours ida awfully sorry questioner but your answers were sent to the name you enclosed in your letter and are now returned to me marked unknown hence this delay you are welcome I 1 assure you and I 1 thank you tor for liking my corner and for your good wishes 1 there are several reasons tor for the mouth becoming dry when one Is talking or reading before an audience first it Is partly due to nervousness and stage right fright then the mouth being open so much the glands are exposed to the air and this quickly dries up some of the moisture nervousness and fear interfere with the glands discharging as much moisture as aa they otherwise would if you will hold your mouth open a little bit you will notice how quickly it becomes dry and people who sleep with their mouth open find it absolutely dry when they waken people who are accustomed to speaking and teel feel no timidity generally have a pitcher of water on the stage when they are making a talk ot of tiny any length as no doubt you have noticed 2 it Is quite a problem to know what to do with bobbed hair when it begins to grow out however How evar it if you are ar e at t all clever in doing up your hair I 1 t think alink it you will tie it in the back having first curled it and then arrange the fhe short curls curia across the back pinning them in place that you will find this rather a nice way to do it or if you cannot make the pins pine stay in in this way weave your ribbon in and out and arrange the hair so it can be pinned abo above ve and below it it if 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 ot of the split ends the best beat way Is to have it singed carefully this 19 1 my first entrance into your cornet corner I 1 have enjoyed the information from your little corner and now I 1 hope hop I 1 am welcome 1
