you.
You are young to leave home t,
work, but it would be perfectly pro
per, Brown Eyes, for you to do so il
your mother is willing. We are al
anxious to earn a little money Of oul
own, aren't we?
Dear Miss Brooks.
/ have found your corner very in.
teresting and helpful and now / am
going to ask you a question. l nave
hardly any eyelashes at all and what
l 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, I am.
PINKY.
l hope / may be helpful to you.
Send your name and stamped envel-
ope, and 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 / discovered it and
the answers you have given other
girls nave helped me a lot. So I
thought l would write and see if you
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 | want to take a postgraduate
course to be ready to do the work I
have picked out. Would it be all
right for me to stay home and do
this?
2. l am having the same trouble
as Hope of Idaho. do not like the
boys of my town, but l cannot say as
much for them as Hope does. Most
If them are not what / would call
good boys. They go entirely too far,
and l would not trust myself with
hem at all. There is only one care
or at all, and he goes to the other
Extreme. He doesn't go anywhere but |
hurch. / like to go there with him,
tut would also like to go to a show !
nee in a while with some one. What
IN l to do? Put away some of my
roper and old-fashioned ideas and
% with some one else, or go on as
m now?
PEGGY, Calf.
(D When a girl reaches the age
eighteen it usually means that she
Kinks and acts for herself more than
he has before that age. You are now
eady to choose your life work. which
on have done to some extent at least.
should depend entirely upon circum-
.ances whether or not you stay at
ONE. II your parents are able fin
ncially to keep you and your mother
eeds you, you should stay at home.
ould think, If at the same time you
IN continue your studies, which is
ost important at this time. You
lould not try to support yourself I'M
IS the family finances are such that
Is necessary.
~ No, dear, l would not put
way the perfectly proper ideas you
I'VE, but would try to convince 7
'ur boy friend that for his own good {
should go somewhere besides
uTch. Such a course causes one to
come narrow and selfish and we
need diversion. A good show is
ucational and entertaining, and :,
ncing is harmful only when we :
Ike it so.
ar Miss Brooks: c
Of all the Corners" 1 like yours r
} best Will you please answer the v
lowing questions for me? / have
many questions to ask, but will
ask them all this time, but come :,
ain some other time, if l may. =
