I'm q funny member 10 enter your
sorner. I've wanted to for some time,
but didn't dare, until I saw a letter
In the last news item signed "A Boy"
You see / am another boy"
The questions l wanted to ask are:
1. What kind Of a boy or young
nan (Im 17) do girls admire?
2. Do they like to be slowed up"
Or do they prefer just honest friend
ship7
3. Has boy Of my age the right
10 escort a girl 10 dances7 II not
what Is the proper age?
4. Could you give me the words to
the song that goes "I've loved you al
ways, yes / have been true. my heart
has never beat but for you, etc." or
tell me where could obtain it?
havt learned lot and profited by
POUR letbers. and hope some one will

YOUR OTHER BOY"
Kanarra. Utah.
p. s. A little more, please.
5. What Is an interesting topic for
\ boy and girl to discuss when alone?
I hope don't occupy the whole
corner. / enjoy the other letters too
much.
"Y. o. B."
You are very welcome indeed, my
Boy" rs are all the boys This is
your, corner, too. even though the
girls do seem to be in the majority
now, so dare" to come us often as
you like.
Now let me see II can give you
an idea of what kind of boy think
most of the girls admire. Most en-
phatically l do believe girls and boys
Of your age prefer honest friendship
a friendship which does not smack of
love at all, but invites the exchange
of condolences, knowing that whatev-
er is said to them will be held in
confidence. Take yourself, for in
stance. I judge by your letter you
are an honest clean-minded boy and
do you not like best the girl who is
interested in what interests you and
who listens to your troubles" Sec
rets and aspirations, rather than the
one who would allow you to love
her up7"
Yes, surely, boy of your age has
a perfect right to escort a girl to u
dance or any entertainment which 10
respectable. The main thing is to al
ways treat the one you are escorting
as a perfect lady should be treated
and IL she does not appreciate such
treatment, seek the society of one who
does.
In most cases you will find topic
of conversation that Is of mutual in
terest to both. School work is usual
ly interesting to those still attending
school, then there are always the
movies" places of interest you have
seen or wish to see, the all-absOrbing
radio subject which you may or may
not be interested in.
