Dear Miss Brooks: We three girls have read vour answers an-swers for a long1 time and w are sure It has done the pitis and boys good. (1) What Is the meaning of the names Evelyn, Lola and Alta? (J) How lone should girls of 1M wear their dresses? ti) Should ctrls of 13 go horseback riding with boys? (4) Should girls of 13 wear bloomer dresses? (5) 3hould girls of 13 wear fancy garters? (t) What are the addresses ad-dresses of Jackie Coogan and Baby Pegu v? DIMPLES, SMILES and SUNSHINE. Idaho. Thanks, girls, and I hope the answers to your questions will be interesting to you. M) Evelyn Is a diminutive of Eva or Eve, mean in g "1 i ft-." Lula a ru.1 Alta have no special meaning. (Ii) Just below the knees is the length girls of thirteen should wear their dresses. (3) Yes, .- ere is no more splendid or de-lightful de-lightful exercise or mode of recreation than horseback riding, but if you mean on the same horse, as some seem to have the habit of doing, no. (4) and (5) This is merely a matter of taste. The bloomer dress Is splendid when appropriately ap-propriately worn. (;) Baby Peggy's address is Universal Studios. Universal City, Calif, and Jackie Coo can's is MetfX Studios, Hollywood, Calif. Dear Miss Brooks: I enjoy reading your corner very much and am seeking a litle of your I eplendid advice. (1) How would you I suggest iu; me to fix my hair? I am 13 years old and iiie medium brown, yet rather cut i.v hair. (I) As I have ao one to chaperone me, would you advise ad-vise my going to High School parties with a "bunch" of girls and boys? Hoping Hop-ing this may reach the printer's office with many others. I remain. BROWN EYED DOLL, Idaho. (1) As you give me no idea as to your features, I cannot well give you a very definite idea of a particular style which would be becoming to you. Please see answer to "Violet," "Neil" and "Hoot." Curly hair is always more easily dressed becomingly than straight hair Is. As your parties will be private ones at one of the girl s houses, it would be quite permissable for you to go with a bunch, although if a ride into the country is involved, it would be very easy to persuade an older person to 1 act as chaperone for the crowd would it not? And now you see you '"arrived" , at the printer's with the rest. Thank you very, very much for the song. ; girlie. To MAGGIE, Oakley, Idaho: As I do not now have either of the songs you request, I shall keep your envelope until such time as I rind them or some kind reader answers our plea and sends them In. Dear Miss Brooks: I have been a constant reader of your corner. "Just Between You and Me." for some time, and have obtained much good advice from it. I have never written before but wish to enter. May I? (1) What colors are most popular this fall and winter? C-) What is the latest and most popular style for dressing dress-ing long hair? Wishing you success in your work, I remain. VIOLET. Idaho. You're as welcome as a violet In the , springtime, my dear. (1) The newest j and most popular shades this fall are what are known as the wood shades, called sandalwood, oak wood, willow wood, etc. They are near what we have known as the beaver shades. In fact, all browns are very good, as are blues I In navy and the greenish blues. There seem to be no particularly new colors. (2) With the straight, bobbed hair there has came a more simple dressing for the long hair. The waved hair is arranged simply and smoothly about the face from a center or side part, or combed straight back from the forehead. fore-head. Almost without exception it is done low in the back except for evening wear. There are many, however, who still cling to the fluffy hair dressing, and this is as it should be. One should dress the hair in a way and manner most becoming to their features, conforming con-forming to the prevailing style as much, as possible, but always keeping in mind ; that the arrangement of the hair may J make a plain face attractive, or a beau-j t if ul face just the reverse. Bangs are' worn a great deal, f r o m o n 1 y a f e w ' hairs arranged coque'tishly on the! forehead, to enough to almost cover the forehead. Dear Miss Brooks: At last I am rewarded with the opportunity op-portunity of helping you and repaying1 you for the good advice and helpful1 j hints you have given me through your, i grand answers to letters of other mem- bers of the corner as well as my own. i You will find enclosed a cony of one of1 the requested songs and I do hope that' the person who wishes the song will! enjoy it as I do; it is so beautiful. I am j j sorry, ?d:ss Brooks, I haven't a ques-; tion. but just you wait 1 may next : time. A MESSENGER OF TRUTH AND HAPPINESS. Utah. And I, too. am sorry, dear, that you have no question to put to me, but your mt'sviipo and song I am sending on and I also hop the one r-' i 'test trig it will .-nj'.y It as you have. It is such a sad U'tlo song, though. Isn't it, and I do not to think of her as a really, truly, little girl do you? Come again, little Mi.-ss-nger of Truth and Happiness we all need you greatly. 1 THE DRUNKARD'S LONE CHILD I I'm alone, all alone, my friends all have tied ; My father's a drunkard, my mother Is dead; I'm a poor little girl, I wander and weep For the voice of my mother to sing me to sb-ep. She sleeps on the hill, in a bed made of clay; How cold It did seem to lay mother away. She's gone with the angels, and none do I see So dear as the face of my mother to me. C h o r u s : I'm a little lone girl In this cold world so wild. God, look down and pity the drunkard's lone child; Look down and pity, Oh! soon com to me. Take me to dwell with mother and Thee. II 'Tis springtime on earth, the birds seem so glad; I listen, and wonder, my heart Is so sad; S-weet rlow'rs bloom around, the crowd wanders by. But the form of my mother no longer Is nigh. Last night in my dreams she seemed to draw near. She pressed me as fondly as when she was here; She smiled on me sweetly and fondled my brow. And whispered, "Sleep on, I am watching watch-ing thee now." To B. A.. Fairfield. Idaho. As I have only one of the songs you request, I shall hold your envelope, hoping to locate lo-cate the other for you and send it at the same time. ; Dear Miss Brooks: This is my first visit to your cozy little corner. I have a few questions I have had a hard time to figure out. Would you please answer them for me? tl) Is it proper for a girl to ride downtown down-town with her brother and some other boys in a car? (2) If a brother and sister were asked to a party and they had no way of going but horseback, what would be proper for the girl to wear riding breeches or a dr-ess? Thanking you in advance. I remain. HUMPTY DUMPTY. Wyo. You are none the less welcome because be-cause It Is your first letter, Humpty Dumpty. (1) Surely it Is quite proper for you to ride down town with your brother and his friends. (2) I suggest that you dress for the party In every way except putting on the dress itself. Put you riding apparel on ana go to the party, carrying your dress carefully packed in a box. L'pon arriving at the party, remove your riding outfit and don your dress. These two questions are your limit, dear, and as the stamp flirtation has been printed several time I shall have to ask you to send for It and I will then gladly answer your other questions. Dear Miss Brooks: We have often wondered how you could answer so many questions, but you seem to enjoy your work so we feel J assured that you will help us. (1) We are "sweet sixteen and never been kissed." although we are quite popular and dance lots, but we get tired of ; dancing so much. What would you do j excuse yourself from some of the , dances, or ask your escort to take you home? (2) Some people .say that course hair (as a rule) grows better than fine. Does it. or Is it the way different people care for their hair? My hair is very fine, and I haven't very much. What shall I do? (3)1 haven't been able to go to high school only one half a year since I graduated from the eighth grade two years ago. I have one and one half credits in high school. Would you advise me to try to graduate or specialize in some course? 14) My hair is too short to braid and make good looking bobs on the sides. I do not wish to cut it off. so how would you advise me to comb it, without with-out snarling it? Oodles of love. NEIL and HOOT. Idaho. Yes. I do enjoy my work, girls, and sm glad to help you all I can. (1) And : very proud you should be of this fact. my dears, and one of these days a very : fine young man will be proud of you also because of this. Why not suggest i that instead of going to the dance, a few of your girl and boy friends go to one of your homes and have music, make candy and spend some time in discussing interesting subjects? Later in the evening have a little "supper." and see if this change of program will not be both interesting and beneficial to you. (2) I hardly think coarse hair grows better than finer hair, but because be-cause fine hair breaks more easily it does not show its growth as does the coarser hair. Very fine hair must be cared for very carefully; that is. combed and brushed with great care in order to prevent breaking it off. One scalp requires as much care as another and it is the scalp which needs attention atten-tion to increase the growth of the hair. One should always brush the hair vtg- ! o rou sly with a medium s: iff brush ' daily and massage the scalp with the finger tips until it glows and tingles, j This increases the circulation and keens the scalp in a healthy condition. condi-tion. Of course this must be persisted in daily and all the time with the same regularity as brushing the teeth. Do not shampoo your hair more often than each two or three week, depending upon your daily brushing with a clean brush to keep it clean. (.3) Finish high sch o ol by all m ea n s, m y dear. It will profit you nothing to try to skip this. Specialising without a full high school course would be difficult. If you go about it determinedly you can make up this year and one-half without much trouble and you will still be young enough when you graduate. (4) Your hair is at a difficult stage. About the easiest way is to get some curls or a switch to wear over the ends a iter it is dressed and fastened in the back. Now that the more simple style of hair-dressing hair-dressing is in vogue, you should not find it necessary to "snarl" your hair. Dear MH flr-.oV.s: ll) H. ..id d-. vf'u tMr k T nn r.y my writing?

(2) M the "King Tut" hair dressing very l'p ular? Thanking you for your trouble, I remain, vour faithful admirer, "MUD" of California. So glad to know your questions have been satisfactorily answered, my dear. (1) You cannot do more or less than tell J the truth, you know, so when necessary I tell your correct age and let them think I what they will, not allowing it to dis-! dis-! turb you in the least. Perhaps when you are a few years older just the re-, re-, verse in your appearance will be true you will look younger than you really are. (2) The King Tut style of bob is gaining In popularity, perhaps, although al-though one could scarcely call it really popular as yet. It is too severe a style to become really popular with a majority. major-ity. Thank you so very much for the song. Dear Miss Brooks: I like your corner very much, but have never written to you before. I ; am almost 16 and I use eye-lash blackening. black-ening. I have heard that It Is bad oa your eyes, and it will make you go blind in time. Is it true? If so, I will have to stop using is. Thanking- you in advance. Your truly, DICK. rtah. Well, yes. If you have any such idea, you had best stop using It. and while I understand it Is quite harmless. It hardly seems worth while to take the least chance, does It? In any case be very careful to not allow any to get in the eye. Personally I do not think It adds one lota to the beauty of the eye, anyway. It is so easy to overdo these "beauty aids," don't you think? Dear Miss Brooks: We have never written you before, but have been very Interested In your corner and hope we are welcome to enter. en-ter. Will you please answer the following follow-ing questions? (1) What way should a girl of fourteen comb her hair? What is the latest fashion? (2) When meeting on the street should a girl or boy speak first? (") What are the latest songs? We love Idaho's state flower and would like you to send us its name. Will be pleased to give you any information on songs and poems we know. Wishing Wish-ing you bushels of success, we remain DAFFY and DILLY. Idaho. Indeed you are welcome, girls. (1) A girl of fourteen should comb her hair in a style and manner most becoming be-coming to her. As you do not give me any idea of your features or style, I could not well advise you on this subject. sub-ject. There are a number of answers in this Issue on the subject of hair dressing dress-ing and I hope some of them will help you out. (2) The girl speaks first always. al-ways. (3) Among the late popular soner are "Barney Google," "Louisville Loo." "Bebe." "Bring Back the Daisies," and "Yes. We Have No Bananas," (4) How can you love the Idaho State flower without knowing its name? It is the syringa. Thank you so much for your kind offer about songs and poems.
