Dear Miss Brooks:
At last 1 have come to you for ad
vice upon certain questions. First:
am IS years old and like to have a gooC
time, but 1 have a supposedly true CIR
friend who talks about me to my
friends, thinking she can win their ad-
miration and leave me high and dry
| or use me in any way she pleases.
| have not realized 1t until now, and sc
l have not cultivated the friendship OF
many more girls thinking one real
| friend was all that was necessary
Should 1 try and break her of her con-
ceit. or cultivate other friends? How
can 1 clean pair of suede slippers?
| Thanking you in advance, l remain,
MOLLY, Utah.
| And I am glad to have you with US,
| Molly. Do not send a stamped envelope
unless you wish songs or your letter
requires a personal answer. 1t is not
wise to limit the number of our friends
we can not have too many, and We
need variety. AS you have doubtless
known this girl for some time do you
not think you could talk freely to her
about this? There may be a mistake
you know, and perhaps she is not guilty
of the accusations against her. Perfect
understanding and frankness are nee
essary to maintain a friendship and
you should at least give her the op-
portunity of clearing herself of these
charges, If you have not already done
so. Be friends IL possible, and by all
means cultivate other friends. (2)
There is powder to be had at most
shoe stores for the purpose of cleaning

Dear Miss Brooks:

Dear Miss Brooks:
1 have written to you before and got
some very good answers. So may 1 ask
you few more questions? (1) I had
a boy friend who came to see me
often but I was foolish and never much
cared for him until it was too late. He
is going with another girl and now I
feel discouraged. I am not happy in
any boys company. 1 go out with boys
but am not happy because I am think
ing of him. 1 have asked him down
and he will not come. / am sure have
never done anything to make him mad.
How cay I win him back? Thanking
you IN advance, I remain,
BLACKY. Utah.
Your case is not unlike many others
Blacky, who do not realize a friends
worth. or what they are to them until
they are gone. No doubt you were 10
accustomed to his attentions that you
did not realize you were not treating
him as friendly or courteously as you
should. Since you have invited him to |
call, thereby signifying your desire to |
establish the old friendly relations, and |
he has refused to accept, It Is self-evi-
ldent that he does not care just yet to
renew the friendship, therefore there
10 nothing left for you to do except to |
be friendly and agreeable to him when
you meet. Perhaps in time the same
qualities which attracted him to you In
Tho beginning will bring him back to
you. In the meantime, dear, do not
compare every other boy with him, but
determine to enjoy their friendship be-
cause you cannot afford to make any
urther advances than you have to him
without lowering your dignity, and
which would also drive him still fur
her away; and after all, do you not
hink 1t is more pique. than that you
eally care for him?

What is that, Mother?-
The lark, my child
The morn has just looked out, ant
smiled,
When he starts from his humble, grass,
nest,
And is up and away with the dew or
his breast
And hymn in his heart, to you pure
bright sphere,
To MARBLE it out In his Makers ear.
Ever, my child, be thy morn's first laws
Tuned, like the larks to thy Makers
praise.
What IL that, mother?-
The Dove, my SON.
And that low, sweet voice, like the
widows moan,
Is flowing out from her gentle breast.
Constant and pure, by that lonely nest.
AS the wave is poured from some
crystal urn,
For her distant dear ones quick return.
In friendship as faithful, as constant
in love.
What II that, mother?-
The Eagle, boy,
Proudly careering his course of 10y,
Firm, In his own mountain vigor
relying,
oAcoolih6 Tic OdTh SlOTIn, the red bolt

His wing on the wind. and his eye on

He swerves not hair, but bears on

Boy, may the eagles flight ever be
thine,
Onward and upward, true to the line.
What Is that, mother?-
The Swan. my love-

No loved one now. no nesting nigh;
He ID hoatfng down by himself to die.
Death darkens his eye and unplumes

Live SO, my love. that when death shall
come,
Swan-like and sweet it may watt thee
