Don't Make Me Go to Bed And III
Be Good.
There's a Rose in Old Erin.
Dear Miss Brooks:
1t does seem as IL I have a lot OF
perplexing problems for a girl of my
age. and I thought you might help
me solve some OF them. / am Is years
| of age. "a My hair is my biggest
| problem. 1t Is extremely fine and as I
have snarled and curled It a great deal
/ during the last few years the sides
! II is now so short l cannot comb II
| good any more. In fact II is really too
short to wear Dutch or bobbed when
curled. In addition to this II is quite
thin. which isn't helped any by it's
being so fine as II would appear more
n II were coarse. Now what 1 would
like to know is how In the world am
! going to comb II without snarling or
curling IL. SO that IT can have a chance
to grow again (2) My hip measure
ment is little larger than 1t should
be in proportion to the rest of my body.
What style dresses should wear?
Full skirts. clinging materials or
straight one piece dresses? I thank
you.
AN ANXIOUS INQUIRER. Utah.
No. Anxious. most of the girls md
II a very perplexing problem what to
do with their hair. especially those who
are letting II grow (if It wild. ID
No. Anxious. not any more than most
girls from 10 TO IS do have very SER
fous and perplexing problems-to them.
Now II seems imperative that your hair
get the attention and rest II has so
long needed, doesn't TIT Why not have
a coronet braid made and wear this
over your irregular and scanty tresses
until you have coaxed them to grow
1,1x In
style OF plain and severe hair dress
ing would suit your need at least even
II II were not the most becoming. And
then brush your hair diligently daily |
and massage the scalp daily also. You
have mistreated 1t so long that you |
must be patient and coax It back to |
life. (2) I am inclined to think the
straight line one-piece model in dress
would be most becoming. and all the
crepes which are very popular and |
which come in so many weaves and /
weights are splendid.
Dear Miss Brooks:
have been an interested reader of
your corner for several months.
have never written to you before, but
hope I am welcome. I also have two
questions I would like you to answer
II you have time. I'D How tall should
a girl of sixteen be? CD Is girl OF
sixteen too young to go with her boy
ISABELLE, Idaho.
Better late than never you know,
Isabelle. "a The average height of
girls of sixteen is about 80 inches. (2)
II is quite proper for girls sixteen yrs
old to begin to go out with boys, dear
and now IL you are only beginning to
cultivate boy friends let me advise that
you choose them very carefully, for
you know. you are Judged a great deal
by the sort of friends you have, and
the company you keep. Thanks so very
much for the song.
Dear Miss Brooks:
1 have never attempted to enter your J
corner, but 1 find It very Interesting. I,
Nay enter7 % Do you think 1t makes :
lair thicker to cut 1t? CD VIII you !
please tell me the meaning of Carl and ;
Norma? Thanking you in advance, 1 :
emain. :
CURLY LOCKS of Utah. !
Welcome. Curly Locks. "a 1t is said y
hat cutting the hair will cause IL to
ome in thicker and make more even
growth. but 1t does not do SO in all
asses. (2) Carl or Karl is the German
orm for Charles. meaning strong,
manly" Norma is not listed as having
ny special meaning. Thanks for the
ong, dear.
lear Miss BROOKS:
I wonder IL you or any of your read
rs can help me to find a song about a
,an who is out walking and hears a
uarrel between father and son, and
he burden of the refrain is:
You'll be sorry that you've served
us so,
When we're both dead, my lad"
Best wishes from a
