Miss Helen Brooks:
l received such a good answer before
I will attempt to write again. q
What Is the state flower of Wyoming
Why do they have one? (2) Why d.
they always bring the nag half way
down the flag pole just before sur
down? 90 What Is love? When girl
ask questions they nearly always ask
about boys. or they are heart-broken
or things about love. why do they dc
so? We wish you oceans of success
We are,
HAKADAH and SHECHOKA,
From dear old Wyoming and Idaho.
The state flower of Wyoming Is the
gentian and in the language of flowers
means virgin pride" Nearly every
state as well as nearly every nation has
flower as an emblem. There seems to
| be no special reason for this other than
that from earliest times this custom
has been followed. 1t is the symbolic
ing of a sentiment brought about in
| days of old through the flowers associ-
| alton with important events with
religious ceremonies. For instance. the
lotus flower was always connected in
the minds of the Egyptians with their
gods and with wisdom. The Tudor
rose was chosen as England's national
emblem after tho close Of the War of
the Roses, and the shamrock holds this
az ri
used 1t to illustrate one of his sermons
The state flowers arc usually ones
which are more prominent locally than
others, or beloved for sentimental rea-
sons. (2) Tho raising of the flag at
sunrise and lowering at sunset Is mere
ly form OF respect to our flag. This
custom was inaugurated by our govern
ment and is followed by all govern
ment institutions over which Old Glory
floats. (3) refer you to your diction-
airy. Also. girls. love Is the greatest
thing In the world, taken in its broad,
human sense. Love Is = word greatly
abused, because 1t Is so often applied
to emotions which have no relation
whatsoever to love In It's true sense
Why do so many girls ask such ques-
lions? Because Mt that particular time
those questions are, in many instances,
of the greatest Importance to them.
My Dear Miss Brooks:
am going to over-step your rule
of two questions, by rather a long
stride, but don't know when I shall
be able to write again. % Is 1t good
even to moderate extent? (2) I am
10 years old and normally tall, little |
slender, grey-brown eyes, medium dark
hair. What color do you think would be
good for me 20 use to make dancing |
gown?
RAE. Utah.
Indeed you did break some rules, my
dear. Never the less a rule is rule.
you know, and must be adhered to. %
This depends upon the occasion, Rae
1t Is really not in good taste for any
one to wear jewelry conspicuously
while engaged in their daily occupa-
ton or while on the street. For social
a modest amount of well selected jew
elry. (2) If your skin is clear. and
color good, you will look charming in
a dance frock of either jade green, blue
gray. lavender. periwinkle, pale pink,
flame, bronze or gold.
