Dear Miss Brooks:
I'm a funny member to enter your
corner. I've wanted to for some time,
but didn't dare, until l saw letter
in the last news item signed "a Boy"
You see am another boy"
The questions / wanted to ask are:
/. What kind Of a boy or young
man (I'm 17) do girls admire?
2. Do they like to be "loved up"
or do they prefer just honest friend
ship?
8. Has boy Of my age the right
to escort girl TO dances? If 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?
have learned lot and profited by
your letters, and hope some one will
gain knowledge from your answers
az well as 1.
Thanking you in advance, remain,
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?
l hope l don't occupy the whole
corner. l enjoy the other letters too
much.
"Y. o. B."
You are very welcome indeed, my
Boy" as 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 as often as
you like.
Now let me see if l can give you
an idea of what kind of boy think
most of the girls admire. Most en-
phatically 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. l judge by your letter you
are an honest clean-minded boy and
do you not like best the girl who is
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 up?"
Yes, surely, boy of your age has
a perfect right to escort girl to a
dance or any entertainment which is
The main thing is to al
ways treat the one you are escorting
IS a perfect lady should be treated,
md if she does not appreciate such
reatment, seek the society of one who
lOes.
In most cases you will find topic
If conversation that is of mutual in
crest to both. School work is usual
V interesting to those still attending
school, then there are always the
movies" places of interest you have
ieen or wish to see, the all-absorbing
ado subject which you may or may
lot be interested in.
| have not yet been able to find
vour song but may later, and will
hen have it printed for you, or per-
laps some reader will send it in to me.
