Query Corner Tbe editor will try to answer questions readers of tho Juulor submit to ber. Sbe will not promise to answer all of them. Tbe questions will be answered In rotation, so do not expect the answer to bo printed In the same week in which you bcuI It In. Dear Aunt Tolly: What is my name? II. M. Dear II. M.: I waa afraid I would find out that your name was one of those long, lanky ones like Hatteraick Meiklewham, but I felt much better when I learned that it was Harry Martin Aunt Tolly. Dear Aunt Tolly: How did you dress Hallowe'en? L . V. R. Dear L. V. R.: It's rather hard to find a name for what I wore.1'11 tell you what it was and then let you call it what you want to, Some children, for I went to a children's party that night, called me a gypsy. The dress was a black and white oldfashioned one that belonged to my inintlipr with a blank kerchief

mstead of a collar, as we wear, atoe, nere me cook tomes he neck. On top of my woolly (?) ! With a pudding of plums, head was a red scarf. For a coat I All tied up so nice i wore a red shawl. And my false ; With sugar and spice, face? Well, it was a red-cheeked j affair with an expression that ; When forth he was brought

'ooked more "simpy than anything else. Now, what would you call the j ostiime? Aunt Tolly. Dear Aunt Tolly: Will you please tell me what is good for falling hair? Kilty Cat. Dear Kitty Cat: Any good hair tonic used regu - iarly and applied with a massage notion, which means to rub the onic into your scalp by a gentle nit firm touch by the soft ends of our fingers, using a circular mo-, 'ion. If this is done every night, ,t will probably help to keep your iair from falling out. Just the ubbing, without any tonic, is very ;ood. too. Other general ways of keeping he hair in a healthy condition may be noted here too. The hair ;hould be washed regularly, at east once a month, using a good astile soap, and about an inch lipped off at the end. Brushing is very good for the hair, too. Try he old rule of brushing your hair one hundred strokes each night. Letting it fly loose in the air on a warm day for a short time is also ;ood for the hair. I hope these ingestions will help you. Aunt iJolly. What James Did One morning as James's father started to work, he said, "Tonight, ' must rake up the leaves." James vas out in the yard playing with lis little dog, Fido. He heard what us father said. So, James went -unning into the house, and said, 'Mama, may I rake up the leaves md surprise papa?" His mother :aid, "Aren't you too little, James?"

The Garden Through springtime and summer, 'way on to the autumn, I played in the garden each day. The garden is full of a great many treasures, I know they grow just for my play.
