Answers Queries
SNIARTING UNDER INJUSTICE

Dear Beatrice Fairfax:
l am girl of sixteen and am not
allowed to be out at night after half
past nine o'clock. l have one brother,
younger than /, who comes and goes
as he pleases and my father never
says a word to him. 1 am punished
for every ten minutes L stay over
time; am not allowed to even speak to
a boy and must work hard every day.
Don't you think a girl of sixteen
must have some pleasures? Don't you
think a girl should be upheld by her
parents instead of always being judged
by them? My parents never take my
part. MAE G. NJ.
Seems to me If your parents atten-
ton is called to the way other people
bring up their daughters they wouldn't
be unnecessarily severe in their treat
ment of you. Nine thirty is late
enough for any girl to be out unless
accompanied by someone older or in a
party now and then.
Only unnatural parents can con-
tinually disregard the feelings of their
children, for even in the worst of them
tehre can always be found something
to praise. There are many harmless
pleasures for girls of sixteen, and work
is more easily done with n little fun
between. Your brother should be un-
der restrictions at his age.
