to 9 dance with boys of our own age thanking you in advance PAIR AUTUMN IN of utah you are most welcome fair autumn 1 afghanistan Is inhabited for the greater part by the afghans and afghan la Is supposed to mean noisy and tumultuous it might be added that it Is ge a well deserved name tor for they are a turbulent people 2 1 I have tried to answer this question so many times that ahat I 1 could only repeat what I 1 have already said over and over until I 1 am sure some gome of my readers are weary of reading it you will see answers in the last two issues which will cover this question for you I 1 am sending you one of the songs you request the other Is one of the latest popular songs and so of course I 1 cannot send it dear miss brooks I 1 have been reading between you and me for sometime and find the answers satisfactory 1 Is it alright tor for a girl 12 years of age and a boy 13 to walk to and from school together a distance ot of two blocks 2 there Is a boy I 1 in n our crowd t that hat acts soft around the girls we have tried to make him stop but he wont what shall we tell him wishing you success in your work I 1 remain SUNSHINE idaho 1 the only harm which will c h could possibly come from this simple diversion my dear would be what your school mates would say such as calling you sweethearts etc all such things having ng a tendency to detract interest and mind from school work boys should form a very small part in the interests of girls of 12 years and my advice concerning the soft boy would be ba to ostracize him from your crowd until such time as he comes to his senses and learns how to act dear miss brooks I 1 am back again with more questions thank you very much for the song you sent me 1 it if you have seen persons a few times talked with them but t know their names only through other people is it necessary to have an introduction to them thanking you very cordially I 1 remain BELLA DONNA idaho you were very welcome to the song my dear as you also are to the one you request this time 1 it Is never advisable le to make chance acquaintances 13 bella c la donna lut but having done so BO tin an introduction would be rather superfluous now doubtless you would feel more at ease however even now it if you could receive a formal introduction do you not think so soa dear miss brooks 1 I received your letter answering my last questions and I 1 want to thank I 1 b have ave a few ew more questions I 1 would like to find the answers to and I 1 do not know of a better place to write tor for information than to you 1 miss brooks on what utah desert was the covered wagon filmed and how bow far Is cleveland from the place what lady and gentlemen played the leading roles 2 1 I am lust just fifteen years old and in high school do you approve of girls my age going out with boys nearly every night the girls I 1 go eo to school with are always slurring me about not enjoying life while you are young just because I 1 do not go out and walk the streets and let the boys take liberties when I 1 am in their company please give elve me advice whether to follow these girls trail or do as I 1 am doing MISS CLEVELAND utah thank you dear 1 the filming of the desert scenes in the covered wagon took place in the snake valley desert and the wall wah wah desert covering the country between milford utah and baker nevada the company was stationed on a acre ranch 80 valles miles southwest of milford and cleveland Is some mlle miles northeast of lola loin wilson and J warren kerrigan played the leads in this picture 2 no my dear I 1 do not approve of girls 15 years of age going out with boys boy nearly every night while in school it tor for no other reason than that I 1 do not believe it possible tor for rny any girl to have a clear and healthy brain with which to master her school studies it if she he be out late nearly every night I 1 could not recommend that you follow such a lead you can certainly enjoy life without this an occasional party or social diversion Is 11 splendid and necessary in a WRY way but avoid an excess in any one thing always their slurs cannot possibly do you any harm while you are serene and conscious of doing your own part well miss helen brooks my sister and I 1 are thinking of taking a trip on the train what kind of dress w would 0 u id be sul suitable table to wear on the train an and d what for a breakfast gown thanking nir you in advance and wishing you lots and lots of success we are as an ever and BOBBIE idaho 1 unless you are planning a long lone trip and are taking a great deal of 0 baggage I 1 advise that you get 0 ona ne good serviceable dress tor for travel lne na this with coat will be all that la Is necessary you can don this gown in the morning and feel becomingly and appropriately dressed for the day A any n y ol of the heavy canton or satin crepes cerepes make an ideal material tor for a traveling travel lne dress and if it Is made in a plain tailored one piece style you may rest assured you are arc dressed in good taste unless one has a stateroom and breakfasts alone a negligee Is vry very much out of place on the train I 1 regret that I 1 have not been permitted to answer a number of letters rec received elvod recently because of the writers failure to enclose name or address dear madam I 1 have written to you yon before and have received very satisfactory answers so I 1 am here again 1 will you please 80 give a cause and cure for warts wart s 2 could you tell me what grade of music the following pieces of 0 music are lovos loves greeting by euard algor op oil 12 and dorothy an old english dance by seymour nour smith thanking you in advance and wishing you I 1 remain NORMA preston idaho 1 warts usually occur as the result of some form of irritation occasionally small blood vessels grow up into a wart but they are usually dry and hard they can be burned olt off with acids but I 1 would not advise this method as the acid must be used very carefully often they disappear of their own free will and again bathing with a solution of borax water in proportion of a teaspoon to one quart of water letting it dry on the warts without wiping the liquid off has been found very efficient in removing them 2 both th these e 8 pieces are considered consider ed fourth grade grad music loves greeting can be had bad in a simplified simpli fled form for second ard grade however dear miss brooks this Is the second time I 1 have written you but I 1 feel welcome will you please answer two questions 1 what would be a good costume jo to wear at a halloween dance instead of f a ghost a clown or a witch costume 2 what is my lucky number lucky day and my color 41 X was born march 17 1909 thanking you for your trouble I 1 am AX AN UNKNOWN FRIEND utah glad you do dear tor for you certainly are 1 A dress of black cambric decorated with pumpkin faces cut from orange crepe paper and pasted or sewed over the skirt and waist would be attractive with a cap decorated in a similar manner or you could use a light material preferably orange and decorate it similarly with black black cat heads or the well known halloween cat 2 the lucky day for one born in march Is said to be wednesday and pink white black and emerald green the colors I 1 do not wish aou foil to feel that I 1 am authority on the subject of lucky days months etc as I 1 quote these only from books on this subject I 1 have small faith in this kind of luck lucka therefore have never attempted to make a study of it dear miss brooks I 1 feel rather bashful but in reading your corner I 1 saw a sons song which I 1 knew there are one or two lines linea I 1 dont know whether I 1 can supply or not I 1 have two questions I 1 would like to ask 1 it three girls were after the same boy and he like any of them what would you advise the girls to do 2 I 1 want to learn to dance and am very bashful what would you advise me to do yours truly CONSTANT READER utah right glad I 1 am that you overcame your bashfulness basht ulness enough to write to me and send the song thank you much for copying it three girls after the same boy now girls does this not fronle prove the theory that this reversing the natural order of this sort of things tends to drive the object of your attentions further from you this young man does not ask what he should do but asks advice for the girls all he asks Is to be allowed the right which naturally seems to have been accorded him that of making overtures to tho the girl he be admires and the more difficult it Is to gain her attention the more he ha admires and pursues my advice to tile the girls young man would be to let you bo be at peace and turn their attention to some boy who Is a greater admirer of their method of gaining a boys attention than you are or better hlll still cultivate EL a disposition to let the boys boy become interested enough in them to want to be attentive to them 2 As for the bashfulness the quickest and surest way to overcome this la is to say bay 1 I will it Is a habit which robs you of many enjoyable times unless overcome instead of avoiding opportunities to meet people welcome them and force yourself to talk about something every effort you make will make it easier you a girl or boy friend who would teach you to dance in their home this Is perhaps easier and less embarrassing than learning in public then go forth to the dance and choose a sweet pleasant agreeable little girl who dances well it if you do not know her get a friend to introduce you and I 1 am sure sho will be delighted to give you further instruction in tho the art of dancing and be ba sure to talk to her about the things you are ar most interested in until you ind find out what she Is most interested in then it will bo be easy to encourage her to talk this will help you to bo be a good listener which to Is also a great accomplishment practice along these lines Is your only way out to AN EASTERNER now new york it Is very gratifying to know that you have received helpful suggestions and information from my corner cornel I 1 find it difficult to express to you as well as all others roy my appreciation 0 of t your kindness in sending the desired 0 songs I 1 only hope I 1 may have hav the th pleasure of returning this favor la in SOB now we in the th near future |
