The Challis messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1912-current, 1922-08-02

Dear Miss Brooks:
There is q nice looking young man
VINO has been paying a lot of atten-
ton to me. He does not love me,
I am sure, but / do not know why
ne comes to see me SO often. What
shall dot II it does not take up
too much room please let me tell you
how l admire Gust Wonderer" of
Idaho. l say that without doubt
he is . very fine boy who does not
wish to go against his mothers wish
-.
Respectfully,
B. E., Colorado.
Surely this nice looking young man
does not have to be in love with you
In order to come to see you, does he?
He probably comes to see you be-
cause he enjoys your company and
admires you, and just SO long as he
continues to be nice to you and YOU
enjoy his friendship why worry about
whether he is in love with you or not.
Just q Womderer" from Idaho will
no doubt be very glad to know we
all admire the stand he takes.
Dear Helen Brooks:
l have just found your COW cor
ner and think it is very interesting.
here are three questions I have been
wanting to know long while.
l. My boy friend is going away
and wants me to write to him. J. Is it
proper for the boy to write first or
the girl? My girl chums think should
not write until he does and so do l.
z. Why is vanishing cream harm
full to the complexion?
3. Where did the name Yankee
originate?
Thanking you very kindly for your
trouble.
BROWN EYES, Murray, Utah.
| welcome you to my corner, Brown
Eyes.
You and your chums are right. Do
not write until you hear from him.
The main objection to the contin-
uous use Of vanishing cream is that
1t is very drying in its effects.
The word Yankee is commonly con-
sidered TO be the correct pronuncia-
ton of the word English or of the
French word Anglais by the native
Indians of America. According 70
Thierry. a corruption of jan, c
diminutive of John, and nic':n ne
given to the English cOlonists OF Cen
necticut by the dutch settlers Of New
York. DIR. w. Gordon History of the
American War ed 1880 says it was
a favorite cant word in Cambridge.
Mass, as early Ms 1913. and that it
meant excellent; as, a Yankee good
horse. Yankee good cider. etc. A nick
name for a native or citizen of New
England, especially one descended
from old New England stock. BY ex-
tension. an inhsbitrnt of the Northern
states as distinguished from a South
e'ner. Also, as sometimes used nv
foreigners, any inhabitant of the
United States.
Dear Miss Brooks:
l want to ask you few questions
about my hair. It is soft and seems
to be alive but still it comes out
terribly. ] used to have lots but
haven't enough to comb now. use
Is. that good? Please
tell me something to make it grow.
! would thank you very much.
l remain,
RUTH, Indian Valley, Idaho.
Tho condition you speak of may be
Of health which often causes the hair
to fall out. Try gentle massaging
with the tips Of the fingers in a cir
cular movement. If you will send a
stamped envelope l will send you the
name Of . very splendid hair tonic
which stimulates the growth of the
hair.
The shampoo you mentien is very
good but It Is not well to use one
particular kind continuously.
