MEMORIES
Round me at twilight come stealing.
Shadows of days that are gone;
Dreams of the old days revealing
Mem'ries of Loves golden dawn
CHORUS
Memories, Memories. dreams Of love
Der the sea Of Memory I'm drifting
back to you.
Childhood days, Wildwood days,
Among the birds and bees,
You left me alone, but still you're my
owni
In my beautiful Memories.
Sunlight may teach me forgetting,
Moonlight bring thoughts that are
new;
Twilight brings signs and regrettingI
Moonlight means sweet dreams Of
you.
Dear Miss Brooks:
AS you have helped so many Others
out we decided to ask you to help US,
too.
We are two girls, II and 10, and
have two boy friends, 10 ana ~
Sometimes they tell US that they IKE
US and other times they say they
don't. Do you think they do! Iney
take US everywhere we want TO 90
and our folks do not object to US 60
ing with them. The first day we met
them they asked US to go to the snow
with them but we refused to go.
Should we have gone? They have
asked US to &c with them to announcer
town to celebrate the gath OF July.
Our folks said we may go 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 do =!
Our folks like them very much and
we do, too, but we are troubled TO know
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 go 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
you, 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 a little
bit hard for me to advise you, 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 70 be in order,
must be a little off 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 discontinue
them, you will not go with them. I
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 oath of July celebra-
ton, but you can judge from tho
above what my advice would be.
Dear Miss Brooks:
l am very interested in your corner
and always turn there first. In read
ing your last answers / find can In
quirer" wants the words of the song
Sweet Adeline" published, so l am
sending you the words Of this song.
/ have question to ask you: Will
you please tell me the name of Ida
hos state flower and something of its |
history.
Thanking you in advance, / am,
LILY, Richfield, Idaho. |
Thank you, Lily, for sending in the |
song.

Dear Miss Brooks:
(1) What do you think is the pro-
per wages for girls IA 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?
l thank you,
BLUE EYES Of Wendell.
ID There seems to be no fixed
price for general house work, the price
paid depending upon how capable the
help is. For a girl IA or Is the pop
ular price seems to be from 81 to Sc
per week. Care of children alone is
usually paid for by the hour-10 to
IS cents per hour is the usual price.
CD 1t would be proper to go to
door was most convenient,
should think, to inquire the location
lf any certain place.
