What are some proper games for
girls and boys ID years old to play at
party? And is it all right for a
girl about Ia years old to come IN
town to work, although there is work
at the ranch? want to earn little
money for myself. l 60 home every
night and my mother does not object.
Is it proper?
Thanking you in advance,
BROWN EYES, Arco, Idaho.
See answer to "Helen," Morgan,
Utah, for games which may interest
you.
You are young to leave home to
work, but it would be perfectly pro-
per, Brown Eyes, for you to do so if
your mother is willing. We are all
anxious to earn little money Of our
own, aren't we?
Dear Miss Brooks:
have found your corner very in
teresting and helpful and now | am
going to ask you question. l nave
hardly any eyelashes at all and what
I have are very short and thin, and
now, Miss Brooks, please, oh please,
tell me what to do to make them
come in long and thick.
Thanking you in advance, am
PINKY.
hope I may be helpful to you.
Send your name and q stamped envel-
ope, and I will send you the name Of
a preparation which will increase the
growth of your eyelashes.
Dear Miss Brooks:
have been a constant reader Of
your corner since l discovered it and
the answers you have given other
girls have helped me lot. So I
could help me out by answering some
questions that have been bothering
me.
1. Just what does it mean for a
girl to be eighteen? Is it all right
for her to stay at home and help as
much as possible or should she try to
support herself? l am eighteen, grad
uated from high school last year,
but l want to take a postgraduate
course to be ready to do the work l
have picked out. Would it be all
right for me to stay home and do
this?
2. I am having the same trouble
as Hope of Idaho. I do not like the
boys of my town, but l cannot say as
much for them as Hope does. Most
of them are not what l would call
good boys. They go entirely too far,
and / would not trust myself with
them at all. There is only one I care
for at all, and he goes to the other
extreme. He doesn't 60 anywhere but
church. l like to go there with him
but would also like to 90 to a show
once in while with some one. What
am to do? Put away some of my
proper and old-fashioned ideas and
go with some one else, or 60 on as
am now?
PEGGY, Calf
(1) When a girl reaches the age
of eighteen it usually means that she
thinks and acts for herself more than
she has before that age. You are now
ready to choose your life work. which
you have done to some extent at least,
it should depend entirely upon circum-
stances whether or not you stay at
home. If your parents are able fin
anclally to keep you and your mother
needs you, you should stay at home. l
would think, if at the same time YOU
can continue your studies, which is
most important at this time. You
should not try to support yourself un-
less the family finances are such thar
it is necessary.
(2) No, dear, l would not put
away the perfectly proper ideas YOU
have, but / would try to convince
your boy friend that for his own good
he should go somewhere besides
church. Such a course causes one to
become narrow and selfish and we
all need diversion. A good show is
educational and entertaining, and
dancing is harmful only when we
make it SO.
Dear Miss Brooks:
Of all the Corners" / like yours
the best. Will you please answer the
following questions for me? l have
SO many questions to ask, but will
not ask them all this time, but come
again some other time, if 1 may.
O When one has friend, either
boy oragirl, who graduates from high
school or college, and this friend sends
one the announcement, is one expected
to give present, or is it proper ?
And if so, just what is proper to give
them? Would pretty cretonne apron
or a corset cover or a pretty night
gown be appropriate to give the girl
friend?
(2) When one receives a wedding
announcement (not an invitation to
the wedding reception, there was nc
reception given in this case) Just what
Is proper to do-give present or not !
Or is it more proper to send a card
coneratulating the couple?
Best wishes and love to you, and
thank you ever so much,
CLAUDIA, Wyo
Thanks for your generous words O,
praise, Claudia.
O Yes IL is proper to give a pre.
sent upon receiving IN announcement,
of the graduation Of friend from
high school or college. Any of tn,
articles mentioned would be perfect,
appropriate for girl friend.
ca A letter of congratuIation i,

ding announcements are received. ex

whom you would naturally wish I,
