Salt Lake City. tA&&J Dear Miss Brooks: I read your list in the paper every Friday night so thought I would come to you for help. Can you give me ten reasons why columbine should be a national flower . WAITING, Manti, Utah. I do not know as you would exactly exact-ly say the following were reasons why the columbine should be a national na-tional flower, but they are reasons for recommending its cultivat.on It is among uie mwv u--r- -popular of all hardy Pnts: it can be used to advantage m half Shady places; there are thirty different varieties; var-ieties; it does well in almost all cli-. mates; for its profusion of ehowy blossoms; for its delicate foliage, its graceful form of blossoms; its rich, variation of colors and last but not least it is beautiful, for rockeries I hope this will help you though 1 find I have given only nine reasons. Perhaps you can furnish the tenth. Dear Miss Brooks: I have been reading your comer and as you have helped others 1 thought may be you could answer my questions. When walking along with a boy is- it proper for the girl to take the boy's arm, or the boy to take the girl's arm? Also, when two girls are walking with one Doy - boy walk between the two girls . When aft engaged girl is embroidering embroider-ing her linen should she put her initials ini-tials as they now are, or as they will De after she is married? Thanking you sincerely, I am, yours truly, LUCILE, Cove, Ore. A girl should always take a boy s arm, never the reverse. A boy should never walk between two girls but cm the siide which will afford them the greatest protection from obstacles and danger. The initials of a girl's maiden name should always be used in preparing pre-paring her trousseau. Dear Miss Brooks: Would you please answer this question ques-tion which I have been trying to get for sometime. I would like to have the address of one or more film producers. pro-ducers. Thanking you for your trouble, trou-ble, I shall be your friend, HELEN S., Utah. I am not iust sure whether you wish the addresses of film producers or motion picture producers. LThe Eastman East-man Kodak Company, whose address is Rochester, New York, are producers of most of the films used. LThe Universal Uni-versal Film Corporation, 1600 Broadway, Broad-way, New York City; the Metro Pictures Corporation, 1540 Broadway, New York City, and the Vitagraph Co., Inc., 469 Fifth Ave., New York City, are all big producers of motion pictures. Dear Miss Brooks: I hope that I will be welcome to join your cozy corner. I have a question ques-tion to ask you. Do you know of a good play about fourteen girls could Dlav in?

If you will send me your name and addres, Pegy, I will have mailed to you a catalog of plays with prices and full description, so you may send for ust what you wish Dear Miss Brooks: Will you please ans-wer the following follow-ing for me: 1. What will make white finger-nails pink? 2. Is glycerine gly-cerine and lemon juice a good bleach 0, ?,-,tan skin? If not. what is? 1. Will you publish the words of the song "Sweet Adeline?" Thanking you in advance, I am AN INQUIRER, Moroni, Utah You cannot make finger-nails pink except by the use of pink powder or paste when manicuring the nails and of course this does not leave any lasting color. Glycerine and lemon juice with rose water and a few drops carbolic acid well blended makes a mild bleach. I have been unable to find th words of the song "Sweet Adeline." Perhaps some reader mav have the song and send us the words and then we will gladly publish them. Dear Miss Brooks: I am interested in vour comer for I always turn there first, to read the splendid advice you give the girl Could you pl-ase trl me what would he correct for a girl to sav to the voung man se is p-oin? wiVi. when he wants to kiss hT Toor'night. nd not mke hire r.fe-r!ed Or would h heer to let him kiss her good-ni-ht? Thanking you for the many good things I have learned from your corner. cor-ner. BLOND, Darline-'on, Idaho. The correct tiling to say tn a younir limn mien lie is merely a iriend and has asked the privilege of kissing you, is that he has not shown you the proper resp-ct and tVt an pnology is due you You should let Mm know nt once that vou do not fllow your younp men friends those liberties at all. The man to whom vou are cn-pnged cn-pnged is he onlr one who should be allowed this privilege, I hope, my de-T, thi vmi w-jU understand under-stand that it is NOT IvMer to let him kiso vou fn-n to make the foregoing fore-going plain to him.
