Dear Miss Brooks:

Why SO timid. Lonesome Girl? The
corner Is for you, and everyone who
has a question to ask or an inquiry to
make. SO do not hesitate or feel timid.
G) I am sure you will find any of the
following books both interesting and
Instructive: Heart of Isabel Carleton"
by Margaret e. Ashmun; 'Helen-Over-
the-Wall," by Beth B. Gilchrist; when
Patty Went to College," by Jean Web
ster; Caroline at College" and Then
Came Caroline" by Lila H. Richards;
Smiles and Smiling Ruth" by Elliot
Fl. Robinson. (2) Why such Tone
some" name when you have so many
friends? OF course If anyone is I'M
thoughtful enough to ask you directly
what your age is, you should not hes
itate to tell your correct age You are
unusually tall, and the prevailing style
Of long waist and full skirt seems to
have been designed especially for you,
with the bands, ruffles and circular
hounces on skirt making a-becoming
trimming, breaking the long, straight
line.
Dear Miss Brooks:
1 have written to your corner before
The answer I received proved to be so
satisfactory that I am writing again.
% Is girl OF Ia too young to wear
earrings and use paint and powder
(2) Is girl at this age too young to
go to night dances? Wishing you lots
of fun and success in your work, am,
as ever,
LITTLE BLACK ME, Utah
Il am surely glad you were pleased |
with your former answers, my dear. |
% OF course a baby could paint and
powder and wear earrings, but would
you admire one arrayed in this man
ner? To my personal way of thinking,
they would look alomst as much out of
place on a girl of fourteen. And why
should she wish to use paint and pow
der? If girl this age Is normal and
healthy her complexion is the envy of
her elders who try to gain a complex
lon as nearly like hers as they can, by
using artificial means; and II her COM
plexion is not good, paint and powder
Will only make 1t worse. co I would
say much too young to go to public
dances either day or night. do have
lots of fun, Little Black Me, but sue
1t rs not so easy. Your
otter was mailed as directed.
Dear Miss Brooks:
Cd What is a cfnco pesos7 How
much is five cinco pesos in U. ST (2)
Is there any paper published on Ante
ope Island? What is the name of It?
J. d. Fayette, Utah.
(1) A cinco pesos Is about fifty cents
n American money. Five cinco pesos
would amount to about $500. (2) No,
here Is no newspaper published on /,
Island.
