Helen Brooks. Box 1915. Salt Lake
Dear Miss Brooks:
I'm q funny member to enter your
corner. I've wanted to for some time,
but didn't dare. until I saw . letter
b the last news item signed "A Boy"
You see I am another boy"
The questions I wanted to ask are:
l. What kind Of boy or young
nan (I'm III do girls admire?
2. Do they like to be slowed up
Or do they prefer just honest friend
ship?
8. Has a boy Of my age the right
10 escort a girl 10 dances? 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 I have been true. my heart
has never beat but for you, etc." or
tell ms where could obtain it?
I havs learned lot and profited by
POUR letters. and hope some one will
rain knowledge from your answers
- well ~ I.
Thanking you in advance. I remain,
YOUR OTHER BOY"
Kanarra. Utah.
p. 8. A Mtle more, please.
s. What Is an interesting topic for
boy and girl to discuss when alone?
I hops don't occupy the whole
corner. 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 lot me see if I 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
friendship which does not smack of
love at all, but invites the exchange
of condolences, knowing that whatev-
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
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
q perfect right to escort . girl to =
dance or any entertainment which is
respectable. The main thing is to al
ways treat the one you are escOrting
a . perfect lady should be treated,
and If she docs not appreciate such
treatment, seek the soeietyof one who
does. '''
In most cases you will find q topic
of conversation that In 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.
l have not yet been able to find
your song but may later, and will
then have it printed for you, or per-
haps some reader will send it in to nae.
Dear Miss Brooks:
I feel that I am gaining much val
liable information from the questions
which you answer in our paper. I
have a few for you.
/. When is the proper time to wear
class pins, graduation pins, honor
pins, etc. Is it proper to wear them
all the time?
2. Is there anything in -
drinks which may cause person to
become a fiend for them. or is it all
right to drink them often?
8. Is there a cure for blushing?
I am bothered much with that one
trouble. / have heard that there was
something that could be done for
poor blushing girl and often wondered
il it were so.
4. What would be the proper thing
to say to young man who was
merely an acquaintance or friend
if he should be car riding with a
crowd and he should put his arm about
the girl by whom he was sitting,
whether she was there as his partner
or just with the crowd?
5. What would you advise as a
good bleacher for hands and arms?
Thanking you very kindly,
M. D. E., Delta, Utah.
Yes. it is quite proper to wear the
pins you mentioned at all times, with
the possible exception of evening
dress, although they are much worn
even then.
You can easily acquire the habit Of
drinking - and it is best to
not drink 1t too often.
As blushing is usually caused by
self Inconsistencies or bashfulness,
have never heard Of cure for it
..aha~ than that of assOciating as
much as possible with people all
making every effort to overcome your
backwardness. You will find your
blushing will disappear in proportion
as you overcome this.
do not believe it necessary to
choose your words so carefully in let
ding the young man know he was en-
tirely out of his place in putting his
arm about you whether he was there
