talk about are the boys and dances.
don't like to go to dances and ! am
too young to talk about the boys. They
talk Of when they grow to woman
hood, Of how rich they are going to
be and all nonsense like that. want
to be childish as long as l can. II /
talk about other things, they won't
listen to me, and tell me l am jeal-
Gus. but I am not Jealous over them.
What shall I do, keep going with them
or quit them?
7 remain, as ever, your friend,
WILD RIDER Of Idaho.
Can you not find one or two girls
with the same ideas as you have,
whom you can associate with? You
have the right ideas, and by all means
live up to them. You will be young
lady long enough. It is very foolish
for girls of thirteen to be going to
dances and thinking about the boys.
Your school work will take your time
now, and l hope you can find con-
genial friend, or convince them they
should be interested in something
worth while.
Dear Miss Brooks:
Just one more question for you to
answer. This is my first letter to your
corner. l have enjoyed reading other
letters for a long time. l hope / am
welcome.
l am just sixteen years old and have
a very near and dear boy friend who
is twenty-one. have been going with
him for two months now and find
him to be very pleasant and respectful,
at least in my presence. He will 90
to an enormous amount of trouble to
take me everywhere. In fact, I know
he thinks lot of me by the way he
talks and acts. He not only talks
well OF me in my presence, but before
everyone else. The only thing about
him do not like is that he uses to-
bacco and smokes, but not in public,
or my presence. He isn't as popular as
| should like him to be. He has lots
OF practical experience, and is a good
provider, but has no good education
in other lines. This boy is a farmer
and so am I. He has asked me to
marry him and my parents do not OBJ
Ject. He has promised to leave tobacco
alone if marry him. Do you think l !
can depend on his word? l can either
marry him now or he will wait two
years for me. But I almost some
times think l am too young to tie N.Y.
self down to any one, and miss all the
run could otherwise have. It would
be quite easy for me to forget all
his faults and marry him, but the
thing l am in for is to choose the
right We are both of the same reli-
gious faith, but he does not attend his
meetings as often as should like him
to. All his folks are religious and per-
haps he will be when he grows older.
Do you think he will? Should ouit
him and 60 with other boys, or marry
him in two years, or now? I thank Won
very sincerely in advance for the help
l am sure Of receiving.
AN IDAHO INQUIRER.
Two months is short time in which
to choose life companion. do you not
think so? If tobacco is distasteful to
you, you had better persuade him to
stop its use now. Yon would probably
nave much more success in doing so.
IMAM after you are married. It is hard
to find all the qualities we admire
combined in one person, you know
dear, so do not expect too much But.
now, why not wait the two years, YOU
are 30 very young, and just have a
nice time. You will both be on trial
and you will be much more able to tell
whether you care enough for him to
marry him in that time. You need a
rev more years of girlhood, free from
the more serious responsibilities Of
life: The foregoing would be NV
advice. am sure you will not regret
so you may become befter
acquainted with your friend. and learn
his peculiarities and disposition
One should live their religion evor,,
