JUST SET A LIGHT

friend to you for it, I'd like to shake
hands with your parents
JUST SET A LIGHT
"A little child on sick bed lay,
And to death seerAd very near;
Her parents pride and the only child
Of railroad engineer.
Chorus:
Just set light when pass tonight,
Set it where it can be seen
If our darling it dead then show the
red
II she's better, show the green.
His duty called him from those he
loved,
From his home whose light was
dimmed.
While tears he shed. to his wife he said,
II will leave two lanterns trimmed"
In that small house by the railroad side
Twas the mothers watchful eye,
Saw a CLEAN of hope in the feeble
smile
AS the train went rushing by.
Just one short look, twas his only
chance;
But the signal light was seen.
On the midnight air there arose
prayer,
Thank God, tho light is green"
Dear Miss Brooks:
We have enjoyed reading your cosy
corner for sometime, and we would bs
just as put out to go without our meals,
as to go without reading Just Between
You and Me-" We have never written
to you before but you have given so
many girls and boys such good help
and advice, we thought maybe you
would answer a few questions for us.
We hope you will allow US two ques-
tons each. We both wish you much
success and happiness. Hope you will
publish these questions as soon as you
can make room for mem. % am
fifteen years old, sixty four inches in |
height and weigh 90 pounds. 1 would |
like very much to be up to my normal
weight If possible 1 love all kinds OFF
outdoor exercise such as horse back |
riding and swimming. Do you think
this would prevent me from gaining?
Can you tell me how I could gain? (2)
Do you think we are too young to go
with boys older than ourselves say
eighteen or nineteen? Some say we
are and some say we are not. What do
you think?
FRITZ. Utah
% How can 1 keep up a good, lively
with a boy? (2) Ny hair
is long and quite curly. feel as
though 1 would lilse it bobbed. but my
folks do not approve of this. What do
you think and what should 1 do?
HANS. Utah.
I could not welcome two girls any
more heartily than I now welcome you,
Hans and Fritz. Is this satisfying?
ID l see no reason why you should not
ind that extra II pounds somewhere,
Fritz, If you are in a normal condition
IF health. No, exercise such as you
enjoy would not prevent you from
gaining unless INDUCED in too siren
lously OF course one can overdo any
hing, but 1 am inclined to think 1t is
lot so much this, as that you are not
eating properly. Eat plenty of good,
wholesome food, including eggs, cream
cheese, nuts and plenty of vegeta bles IN
our menus. Drink at least one quart
# rich milk day (two is better) and :
plenty of water. I am quite sure if you
ire in earnest and follow the above
suggestions you will soon be gaining in
weight. Should there be physical dis
rider of any kind, of course it must ,
re corrected before you can hope for (
roper results. ca 1 contend that a
'irl of fifteen Is too young to go with
'oys regularly. Remember, girls, that
our conduct now, and the friends you :
hoose. will be a governing influence c
throughout your entire life; therefore. ]
ct wisely 1t is not so much the age :
f the boy, as 1t is his character which
hould be considered when choosing |
our friends.
% BY just being perfectly natural l
nd spontaneous Hans. OF course you
must have something to talk about, :
therefore, read all you can, so you will
re posted on different subjects, find out c
What your friends enjoy talking about,
nd do not forget that a good listener
5 often appreciated. (2) l am quite '
ure l would not bob such lovely hair, {
ut of course this is purely matter Il
f individual taste.
