MEMORIES
Round me at twilight como stealing. |
Shadows of days that are gene;
Dreams of the old days revealing
Mem'ries of Loves golden dawn
Memories, Memories. dreams Of love
so true,
Ger the sea Of Memory I'm drifting
back to you.
Childhood days, Wildwood day.,
Among the birds and bees,
You left me alone, but still you're ny
In my beautiful Memories.
Sunlight may teach me forgetting,
Moonlight bring thoughts that ars
new;
Twilight brings signs and regrettins,
Moonlight means sweet dreams 4
you.
Dear Miss Brooks:
As you have helped 50 many others
out we decided to ask you to help n,
too.
We are two girls, II ana Is, and
have two boy friends, 10 and 20.
Sometimes they tell Us that they like
Us and other times they say they
don't. Do you think they do! They
take Us everywhere we want to 60
and our folks do not object to n go
ing with them. The first day we met
them they asked Us to 60 to the show
with them but we refused to 60.
Should we have gone? They have
asked rs to &C with them to another
town to celebrate the oath Of July.
Our folks said we may 60 If we want
to. Should we go?
When we are with a crowd Of other
people, our two friends drink whiskey
in front Of Us girls. Is that right
for them to do?
They are always telling Us about
their other girls. What should we dot
Our folks like them very much and
what we should do. Should we stop
going with them, or should we forget
their faults and go with them just
the same?
We girls have agreed to 60 by your
advice so please tell Us what to do.
Thanking you in advance and wish
ing you success in your helpful work,
we remain, your two friends,
TILLIE AND VIRGIE, Mackay, Ida
1t looks to me as though your boy
friends were either simply joking with
you when they say they do not like
lou, or else they do not know their
own minds and are playing fast and
loose with you. Since your own peo-
pie like these boys and do not object
to your going with them, it is q little
bit hard for me to advise yeu, but my
judgment is that boys who SO far for
get themselves as to drink whiskey
when in the company Of their girl
friends, especially in these days when
prohibition Is supposed to be in order,
must be a little OF color, and /
should hesitate about spending much
Of my time with them. No, do not
forget their faults-at least not such
glazing faults As drinking in your
presence, but let them see that such
actions do not appeal to you, and that
if they do not care to diseoutinus
them, you will not 60 with them.
am sorry my reply will be too late
to reach you in time to Be of any
use to you in answer to your query
about going to another town with
these boys for a z4th of July eelebra-
tion, but you can judge from the
above what my advice would be.
Dear Miss Brooks:
am very interested in your corner
and always turn there first. In read
Ing your last answers find IAN In
quirer' wants the words of the song
Sweet Adeline" published, so am
sending you the words of this song.
l have a question to ask you: Win
you please tell me the name of Ida
hos state flower and something of its
history.
Thanking you in advance, 1 am,
LILY, Richfield, Idaho.
Thank you, Lily, for sending in the
song.
Idaho's state flower is the Golden
Rod, which is well-known fan.
blooming plant with wandlike stems,
variously shaped leaves, and heads Of
small, yellow-rayed flowers, often
clustered in particles. The Golden Rod
is very prolific and grows wild in ida
no and Western and Middle Western
states. Only one species Is to be
found in Europe. It is also the Iowa
state flower.
Dear Miss Brooks:
(D What do you think is the pro-
per wages for girls Il or Is years
old for doing house work, tending chill
dren. and helping with laundry and
cooking?
Do you think it is proper for any
one stopping at house to inquire for
instance, for the location of a certain
place, to go to the back door or the
front door?
thank you.
