You are welcome. Darkie. (1) Yes, Ontario, On-tario, Canada, is "dry." (2) The 18th of February. 1903, came on Friday. (8) It w rather diffioult to explain a same in a Email epace. bat I will try Prepare sheets of paper with the name of each individual present written writ-ten on them, and opposite the names are three eolumnn with the words weight, height and age at the top. Each truest is then requested to write orposite the name his dctkion m regard to the height, wugat and ajre of each person. Make out a sheet that is correct, a-nearly a-nearly as you can, and then find ont which one has made the most correct gueeeca. To the one who has the most, a prize might awarded. The fun comes frsm ascertaining the correct height and weight. Tc- hefcrht is determined by measurement, the weisrht by someone who is export on guessing weights, aniens you shoald happen to have scales sufficiently suf-ficiently large. Each person's age will be found on their own paper. Each person "cor- j rects" his own paper by checking up with the correct paper as the height, weight and age is read off, and the difference between his guess and the correct one he plaee6 in a separate sep-arate column. When these are added up the smallest number is the nearest correct. Another game which causes great amusement amuse-ment is to place a large smooth apple on the floor and have each one try in turn to pick the apple up on a teaspoon, without the use of the fingers. To the one picking up tbe apple the greatest mumber of times in one minute goes the prise of the apple. Call again. Dear Miss Brooks: Wc have been reading your interesting corner, cor-ner, and would like to ask a few questions. (1) When was Hallowe'en first started, and where did it get its name?

Very glad you find my corner interesting. You are welcome. (1) Hallowe'en, or Hal low -even, is the evening of Oct. 31. That evening even-ing ia so-called, however, because it is the eve of the Christian festival of All Saintt ich falls on November 1. It mesas Holy Eve. About thirteen centuries ago pajrans celebrated cele-brated November 1 as All Saints Day, when spirits, both good and evil, were believed to be on earth. The Druids also celebrated their harvest festival about that tins, and many j strange ceremonies were perforwicd, and so the Hallowe'en diversions of today are some which originated centuries ago. The name cornea from the old English word "halwe," or as we now say, holy. (2) In this sane hwuc you will find this answer for "Darioe."

Dear Miss Brooks, I have been very much Interested in "Joat i Between You and Me," and would hike to ask you a few questions. (1) I am seventeen years 0ld-weij-hrng a hundred and twerrtf-eU pounds. Is this too much and wrold you advise me to take a tonic to reduce? I am about five feet three inches m height. '2) I have always al-ways had the desh-e to become a movie actress, would it be better to overcome this desire or to try and deveJope it?. (8) There h a certain boy whom I think the world of. I thre no way in which I could make biro care more for me? I am quite popular, but th oVr fellowB usually take we too seriously. 1 nankin you in advance, I am,. PEGGY, Utah. (1) You are only a few pounds over weight, Peggy, so do not resort to a "tonic" yet. Yoa are slightly LaHer than the averse girl of seventeen, so I would say you only about eight pounds over wolght, and you can easily kee.r from putting on more flesh by takfng plenty of rercieo, such ns walking, and all kinds of athletic snorts which you can indolpe in now. Do not eat many sweets or fats. f?t) Af your desire to btcome a movie aetress is aeccr.ipanied by talent along this line, certainly cer-tainly you should improve it. I see no reason why you should try to overcome it. (3) H w not for you to seek any boy's attention or af-fpctioa, af-fpctioa, Peggy It is yours to be-always the sweet, loveable, charming little lady, and attract at-tract their admiration and respect. Dear Helen : I guess you think I am a bother to ycu, bat you are the best "adviser" I have awr found. Will ou please publish the words to the sons entitled "Joy Finds Us After Ail." (2) What tracked he Liberty Bell? Wishhrg you 8-cess, 8-cess, I am, CURLEY, Tooele, tit Your ire no bother, Curley. Thanks for ycur good wishes. (1) If your ioem ean be found it will appear as soon aa space permits, per-mits, or I will send it to you pcrsorJilly. 2) Th Liberty Bell vas cracked on July 8 1S35, while tolling during .the funeral solcmifcities of John Marsha U Chief Justice of the United States, who did in Philadelphia. |
