The Challis messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1912-current, 1922-10-11


have been a reader of your corner
for some time, and at last l have de-
cided to write. % have had my hair
cut, and it has grown so long that it
doesn't look nice curled up, and isn't
and don't want to cut it again. Can
you please tell me a way could wear
it that would look nice? (2) Should
a girl Of sixteen go to public dances :?
(3) What is the best kind of face
cream to use under powder? az Is a
girl of sixteen old enough to go with
boys?
Thanking you in advance,
DIMPLES, Victor, Idaho.
CD Perhaps your hair is long
enough to curl and arrange as the Ma
tional Bob Curl on papers, and do not
comb out, but arrange each curl from
ear to ear, across the back of the head.
Your hair should be thick enough to
make about three rows of curls. Cover
with net, and this will hold them in
curl also. (2) The public dance is not
good place for any girl to go. (3) A
vanishing cream is usually used under
powder. l do not advise its use, how
ever, as it tends to clog the pores and
cause blackheads. ~ It is considered
proper for girls sixteen years of age
to go with boys, but do not go out
with them often, dear, especially now
that school will take your time and
attention.
Dear Miss Brooks:
l have been very interested in your
corner and would like very much to
| join you.
How should you trim your finger
nails properly, and could l get you to
send me the words of Tuck Me to
Sleep in My Old Kentucky Home"
If boy should ask you to go to
lunch with him, and you wish to go,
what would be proper to say?
Thanking you,
MICKEY.
Welcome. Mickey. The finger nails
are rounded slightly beyond the end
of the finger, but not in such long,
sharp point, as has been the custom
in the recent past. Your song can be
readily purchased for 80 cents in any
of the music shops. Only such songs
and poems as cannot be easily found
in the shops can be printed in our
columns. A simple "Thank you, will
be glad to have lunch with you," or
eyes, thank you, l will be delighted to
have lunch with you," is proper.
Dear Miss Brooks:
This is the first time I have ven-
tured into your circle. But neverthe-
less have read it every time it has
been published. And 1 think you and
s,,cf f,I I
going to take the privilege of asking
a few questions. (D am seventeen
and have my hair bobbed. Do you
think l am too old, and should let it
grow out? Can you suggest some
pretty way of combing it? (2) Do
you know of anything that will keep
my hair in curl? It doesn't hold the
curl over night. (3) Miss Brooks, l
want to work somewhere. 1t isn't
because I have to, but because l feel
like l ought to. Father has bad
health and have guilty conscience,
every time he gives, or l take any
thing from him. There's no work
here and mother doesn't approve of
me going out of town to work. Can
you suggest anything l could do to
make money to help out? az l am
small for my age and naturally pretty.
The only trouble is / have quite few
moles on my face. Is there anything
that will take them off without leav-
ing a scar?
Well, Miss Brooks, l will relieve you
for this time. l guess there are lot
waiting for chance. / sure hope I
may call again. l would give all i
own if l could talk to you in person.
Thanking you for your patience, Il
am as ever,
JACQULINE.
Notice the rules at the head of our
column in regard to name and address,
Jacquline. You will receive more
prompt service, as I can write you
personally instead of waiting your
turn in the paper. G) No. you are
not too old for bobbed hair if it is
becoming to you, but if not, should
let it grow out. When too long to look
well, curl on tissue or waxed paper, by
cutting square and laying the strand
of hair in it and rolling hair and pa
per up together. When taking it'll
down, do not comb the curl out. but
arrange in the National bob style and
cover them with a net. This will
hold the curl in better and look very
pretty, especially if your hair isl
thick. You can fasten the curls in
the desired shape with small pins.
(2) There are many curling fluids on
the market, but know of none that
are very reliable, and they make the
hair brittle, causing it to break off.
(3) You have w,-rthy ambition, but
are you not still in school? If you
send name and address l will give you
the name of a publishing house who
pays good commission for taking
subscriptions for their popular maya
zines. This is very nice work and is
about all could suggest for you. You
could do this after school hours and
Saturdays. (4) Moles are very hard
to handle. l do not know of any cure
except the electric needle and even
this is not always satisfactory.
Call as often as you like, my dear.
Will gladly do all can for you.
Dear Miss Brooks:
AS l haveawritten to you before and
received very satisfactory reply. Il
