STRING TOWN utah well girls I 1 haroy feel that were I 1 in your place I 1 should consider the name you seem to have earned a compliment ment but since you do appear to have earned it you hardly have the right to consider it an insult either I 1 think I 1 would just quietly go about it and see if I 1 earn a little better sounding name lame dont you think you could 7 personally I 1 do not care for the ankle length skirts and though one sees quite a few I 1 think the shorter length ht way between the ankle and the knee lit much better taste tor for street wear at any rate and it Is still quite popular 3 8 bobbed hair also continues popular though it its a continued vogue hangs somewhat in the 1 balance since some of you already have 11 might as well keep it tor for a while I 1 suppose 4 why not moderate a little on the dance question extreme styles in dancing as well as am in dress are in poor taste and often overstep into nto the vulgar no need to at stop dancing laiq bu it if you want to te lose thop that most uncomplimentary name better stop t 0 p the so called dancing the folks are r e raving about you tou will find a few of the latest dance hits in my reply to brown eyes utah in

her hair Is bobbed and she would like to know how to domb comb it to look best 3 Is it proper for us to wear sport box and sleeves silt alit up to the shoulder and what are the most appropriate places to wear king tut sandals 4 if you liked I 1 ked a boy real well and you promised your parents you would not lot let him pet you AM nd d he kot got angry because you how are you going to make up u P with him wishing you success in your wok wo wp k we va are as ever TWO FLAPPERS from utah you are most welcome girls I 1 am sure 1 for my own satisfaction and peace of mind because I 1 do not want to

straight hair being the latest atle of course w whether hether the side or center part with ith 0 or r without bangs etc would be b most becoming depends defends altogether upon the shape of the head and face and otho personal characteristics 3 2 not at one and the same mains time surely but of course you did not mean that did you it Is proper to wear sport sox fur for sports wear only as the name implies and I 1 should judge you were eligible for both the sox box and fancy sleeves it if you promise not to wear them both at the same time I 1 must insist on this well my dears dean I 1 really think king tut meant hi his sandals to be worn only when in dul tring in the lighter and less lens strena ova ous sports but it seems milady has in this as in a great many other things taken unto herself to say av what when where and why she he shall hall or dball not wear or do certain things and a is R consequence cons corin quence we see ee these sandals bandala at t the seashore on the street in the ballroom at the theatre in fat fast every where and worn thus by almost every one but by all means let lei the them in harmonize harin barin with the rest of your costume at least 4 and also well wel I 1 my flappers just between you and me I 1 rather think id not care to make up with a boy who got angry because I 1 had come to my senses enough to not allow him such much unwise so that it if ties hes half a man he will admit youre right and be a better frind fri nd to you for it id like to shako shake hands with your parents JUST SET A LIGHT A little child on a sick bed lay and to death seede very near iler her parents pride and the only child of a railroad engineer chorus just set met a light when I 1 pass tonight set get it where it can be seen been it if our darling it dead then show the red it if ashes better show the preen green his duty called him from those he h loved from his home whose light was dimmed while tears he shed to his wife he said 1 I will leave two lanterns trimmed in that small house by the railroad side the mothers watchful eye saw a gleam of hope in the feeble smile As the train went rushing by just one short look his only chance but the signal light was seen on the midnight air there arose a prayer thank god the light Is green dear miss brooks we have enjoyed reading your cosy corner for sometime and we would b just me as put out to go without our meals as to go without reading just between you and me 11 we have never written to you before but you have given so many girls and boys such good help and ad advice we thought maybe mayb a you would answer a few questions tor for us WO we hope you will allow us two questions each we both wish you much success and happiness hope you will publish these questions as 85 soon boon as you can make room for nem 1 1 I am fifteen years old sixty four inches in height and weigh 09 99 pounds I 1 would like very much to be up to my normal weight it if possible I 1 love all kinds ot of outdoor out door exercise such as horseback horse back riding and swimming do you think this would prevent me from gaining can you tell me how bow I 1 could gal gain 2 do you think we are too young youn to go with boys older than ourselves a say eighteen or nineteen some say we fire are and some soma say we tire are n not ot wh what t d do 0 you think I 1 FRITZ I 1 utah t all 1 how can I 1 keep

I 1 do HANS utah I 1 could not welcome two girls any more heartily than I 1 now welcome you hans and fritz Is this satisfying 1 1 I see no reason why you should not rind find that extra 17 pounds here aritz if you are in a normal condition of health no exercise such as you enjoy would not prevent you from gaining unless indulged in too strenuously ly of course one can overdo averd 0 anything but I 1 am inclined to think it Is not lot so 80 much this as that you are not eating properly eat plenty of good wholesome food including eggs cream cheese nuts and plenty of vegetables in your menus drink at least one quart of rich milk a day two Is better and plenty of water I 1 am quite sure it if you are in earnest and follow the above suggestions you wll will soon be gaining in weight should there be a physical disorder of any kind of course it must be corrected before you can hope for proper results 2 1 I contend that a girl I 1 irl r of fifteen in I 1 too young to go ga with bos bois

glided by A messenger on oil wings did fly to save this boy from such a fate A pardon but it came too late chorus the volley was fired at sunrise J just u at after the break of et day A and nd while the echoes lingered A soul had passed away into the arms of his maker and there to hear bear his fate A tear a sigh a sad bad goodbye the th pardon came too late and round the camp alre burning bright the story then was told now how his mother on a dying bed bad called for her son so bold he hastened to obey her wish was captured on the way she never saw her boy so fair he died at break of day and when the truth at last was known his innocence at once was shown to save from such an unjust fate A pardon sent but too late dear miss brooks I 1 have read your letters and answers and enjoy them very
