Dear Miss Brooks:
How do you cure and tan the skin
of the coyote, skunk, mink and rabbit?
Thanking you, l am,
w. M, Preston, Idaho.
Sorry, dear but the song you request
Is very late, popular song, and SO
the words cannot appear in my corner.
1 can give you a formula for the cur
ing and tanning of the skins you men,
ton. but would not advise an amateur
to attempt this work. 1t Is very par
ticular and intricate work, and requires
experience to successfully and expertly
finish a skin SO that it will be disable.
Many times the amateur spoils the skin
entirely. Space will not permit the
printing of this method at this time but
shall endeavor to have 1t printed for
you soon or send it to you. The skins
may be preserved by rubbing salt well
dnto the hide and drying.
Dear Miss Brooks:
This is the second time have written
to you and I feel welcome. % Is it
proper to give boys presents? (2) What
is the meaning of violets, pansies,
daisies and butter cups? Your truly.
BOB. Idaho.
Yes, Bob, remember you. Cd 1t is
known long time such gifts as books,
hand made handkerchiefs, tie clasp,
belt buckle, fountain pen, ever sharp
pencil, etc. (2) The violet in the Ian
guage of flowers means faithfulness
and modesty, the pansy, thought; daisy,
innocence; buttercup, desire of riches.
Dear Miss Brooks:
This is the first time we have written
to you, but not the last we hope. We
are IA years old. Bob is of a light
complexion, her eyes are blue, her hair
brown. light brown eyelashes. 1 am
of an olive complexion. brown eyes,
black eyelashes, brown hair. Please
tell us what colors we can wear? (2)
If we go to public school, is it all right
to go to school parties? CD How long
should girls of IA wear their dresses?
(4) Miss Brooks we do not like to go
with boys. Other girls in our class
think we are babies because we won't
go with boys. What are we to do?
Wishing you loads of success and pleas
ure.
BOB and DICK, Utah.
1 hope so too girls. % Bob should
look lovely in all shades of blue except
the very bright shades, blue green, blue
grays, deep shades of purple, dark reds,
yellow and rose pink. An olive skin
looks best in ivory, mahogany brown,
dark blue, dark green, dark red, fawn
and salmon pink. (2) Yes. indeed, a
party occasionally is perfectly all right
girls. Some wholesome recreation and
pleasure outside the school hours is
necessary. we know. in order to keep
our mental balance. (3) The proper |
length for girls of IA to wear their |
dresses is ID to Is inches from the floor |
(4) Dear Bob and Dick, girls of four
teen are but children, and there should |
be no thought of association with boys
except in wholesome boy and girl
comradship fashion. 1t is absurd for
boys and girls this age to think of go
ing together to social affairs regularly.
Let your own and your mothers COM
mon sense guide you in this, as it has
already done, and let the girls say what
they will. Spend the time they are CIV
ing to the boys now, to self improve
ment and to the development of char
acter which is respected and admired,
so that you may take sane and sensi-
BILE part in the social activities of your
community little later.
Dear Miss Brooks:
I am a constant reader of your cor
ner, and sometimes 1 can hardly wait
until our paper comes. May ask you
two questions? Cd When you are out
to fashionable dinner, and there are
several knives, forks and spoons at each
plate, do you take the knife, or what
ever 1t is, next to the plate. or farthest
from the plate? (2) Could you tell me
my lucky day and number, and my
colors. l was born on February q
1908. Wishing you bushels of success
In your work.
BETTY, Utah. !
Thank you, Betty, for the song. %
Use the fork and spoon farthest from ,

confidence in lucky days, etc., Betty ,

BORN in February, April and August

Dear Miss Brooks:

ween You and Me-" for some time. 1
I'm wondering if you would answer e
