This is the second time I have ever

your most satisfactory answer I de-
cided l would like to write again. Your

So glad to know your questions have
been satisfactorily answered, my dear.

the truth, you know, so when necessary
tell your correct age and let them think
what they will, not allowing 1t to dis

you are a few years older just the re-

You're as welcome as a violet in the
springtime, my dear. ID The west
and most popular shades this fall are
what are known as the wood shades,
called sandalwood, lakewood. willow

known as the beaver shades. In fact.
all browns are very good. as are blues
in navy and the greenish blues. There
seem to be no particularly new colors.
(2) with the straight. bobbed hair
there has came a more simple dressing
for the long hair. The waved hair is
arranged simply and smoothly about
the face from a center or side part. or
cOmbed straight back from the fore
head. Almost without exception IL is
done low In the back except for evening
wear. There are many. however. who
still cling 70 the funny hair dressing,
and this is as IL should be. One should
dress the hair In a way and manner

Dear Miss Brooks.

much and am seeking a little Of your
splendid advice. % How would you
suggest for me to fix my hair? 1 am
IS years old and have medium brown,
yet rather curly hair (2) As 1 have
no one to chaperone me, would you ad-
wise my going to High School parties
with bunch" of girls and boys? Hop
ing this may reach the printers office
with many others. 1 remain.
BROWN EYED DOLL, Idaho.
ID AS you give me no idea as to your
features, L cannot well give you a very
definite idea of a particular style which
would be becoming to you. Please see
answer to Violet" Neil and ''Hoot,"
Curly hair is always more easily
dressed becomingly than straight hair
is. AS your parties will be private ones
at one of the girls houses, IL would be
quite permissible for you to go with a
bunch. although If a ride into the
country is involved. it would be very
easy to persuade an older person to
act as chaperone for the crowd would
it rot? And now you see you arrived"
at the printers with the rest. Thank
you very. very much for the song.

country's Farm Population.

Recent statistics sent out by the
census authorities show tLat the farm
population OF the United States Is
only 81 .Gl4,26 little less than 30
per cent Of the total. This includes
farm operators and farm iaborers and
their families, who live In the cOun-
try, and shows an average Of about
five persons to each farm. About half
tile people in the nation are classified
rs rural-that is. they live Ia the
country or In towns having few
or than $500 Inhabitants, but only
81 per cent of the "rurals' are actual
~ engaged I'm farming. Thus 80 per
cent Of the rural population and the
entire city population must be fed by
the men engaged In agriculture. It
gives the farmer big job. Only a
few years ago each 70 :mer had to pro
vision his own family ami one other

nearly three other families besides his

BALFoUR NO HERO TO cADDY
Young American Of Chevy Chase Out

British Diplomat.

Lord Balfour liked good yarn,
even at his own expense, and he told
one to us at dinner OF which he
was the center at the British embassy
at Washington.
It was splendid welghty func.
tion, worthy OF pre-war days, when
Europe was neither depressed nor hys.
terical. Some one had spoken Of Bal.
four In complimentary fashion, OF his
great brain and his work at the con.
ference, and he replied that this con-
soled him for an occurrence at Chevy
Chase club, where he had gone to play
golf the day previous.
Finding no one he knew about, he
engaged caddy and started off,
walking and chatting with the latter.
He asked the caddy's opinion about
the use Of certain club. The boy
gave advice, which Lord Balfour ut
tempted to follow; but lie missed
the shot. Caddy took the club, illus
tratcd his explanations, also missed
the ball; bnt further explained this
was because he was too short for the
club. Lord Balfour again tried to
follow caddy's Instructions and again
missed; whereupon caddy eyed him
and remarked in solemn sincerity /:

had my brains, what golf we could
