Dear Miss Brooks.
We have written to you before and
received satisfactory replies and now we
are trying again. % There are seven
of us girls who go together, and the
people in our ward call us THE Seven
! Giggling, Gumchewing Nuts from
Stringtown." Should we consider this
as an insult. (2) We are between six
teen and seventeen years old. Should
we follow the styles of long dresses?
| (3) Some of us have our hair bobbed
and like 1T. Is it still stylish to wear
1t SO? a. We follow the styles of
dancing, and some of the people in the
ward rave about 1t. What can we do
TO stop them? We don't want to stop
dancing. co. What are some of the
latest dance pieces out? Thank you.
We remain.
SEVEN GIGGLING, GUMCHEWING,
NUTS FROM STRINGTOWN" Utah.
Well, girls, hardy feel that were
in your place 1 should consider the
name you seem to have earned a COM
pliment But since you do appear to
have earned 1t, you hardly have the
right to consider it an insult either. II
think I would just quietly go about 1t
and see if I couldn't earn a little bet
ter sounding name. Don't you think
you could? ~ Personally, I do not
care for the ankle length skirts, and
though one sees quite a few 1 think |
the shorter length, h&H way between |
the ankle and the knee, III much better
taste for street wear at any rate, and
1t is still quite popular. go Bodied
hair also continues popular, though Its
continued vogue hangs somewhat in
the balance. Since some of you already

while. suppose. (4) Why not moder-
ate a little on the dance question? Ex-
treme styles in dancing, as well as in
dress, are In poor taste and often over
step into the vulgar. No need to stop
dancing-bW if you want to lose that
most uncomplimentary name, better
stop the so-called dancing the folks
are raving about. You will find few
of the latest dance hits in my reply to
Brown Eyes. Utah, in last issue. Write
again, girls.
Ny Dear Miss Brooks:
1t is with pleasure that 1 send one
of the songs on the requested list. L
have no questions to bother you with
now, but will write again sometime.
think your little corner" is one of
the dearest places in the paper. Every
week 1 take great pleasure in reading
1t. The only thing 1 hate about it is,
be of service in sending another song
will gladly do so. With loads of love.

Thank you, my dear, both for the
song and your CHEEKY letter. I'm sorry,
for your sake, that our corner doesn't
seem big enough, but wouldn't it be
splendid if with you in your smarl
corner, and 1 in mine" we could ac-
oomplish big" work? Anyway we
can each do our part, can't we? 1 ap-
preciate every song sent in more than
can possibly express to the senders, 1
am sure, so rest assured any you can
send will be most gratefully received.
