~ Do you think you know any
thing about love, dear? How old are
you? II you are old enough to b,
thinking about it and loved a boy
| believe you could tell him So
properly. This is one thing you car
bs original about. Your own partic
ular way will be the way which suits
him best. (2) Don't let her do it
my dear. Do not listen and do moi
believe all you hear about your
friends. (3) do not find your song
and l am very sorry.
Dear Miss Brooks:
am very interested in your coy
corner. / hope | am welcome as this
Is the first time / have written you.
Will you please answer this ques-
ton for me, very seriously.
am just little High School girl
Of 171s. love a good time. / am
fond of excitement and something
doing. But my parents do not ap-
prove of it. They think / should de-
vote more time to my studies and
approve of my best boy friend. He is
lots of fun, decent, and not soft, like
most boys. In my own heart think
the reason they don't want me to go
with him is because he shows me too
good a time. You argue the point
with them and it is something they
have no proof of, but believe it, and
they simply plead with me to quit
him.. l really do not care for him or
any other boy, any further than gool
time goes, but he is the kind of boy
that if l refused to step with him
he would demand an explanation and
would have none. He would insist
that something was wrong and sulk.
Our friendship would simply stopi 1t
would be hard as such jolly good
pals are hard to find in this town.
Shall drop him as my parents desire.
or shall continue going with him and
find him out for myself! Thanking
you in advance,
briggs, Idaho.
Being fond of excitement and
something doing" seems to be quite
a popular idea just now, but we must
all admit that it is not conducive to
good work in high school, must we
mott Your boy friend seems to have
quite a few redeeming features, and
"sulking" might tend to develop a
few more, SO I believe would take
a chance. All you need to Eek
plain" to him is that your per-
snts do not approve of your
stepping out" so much during the
school term, as it into rferes with your
school work and you should be get
Ting through high school. Once or
vice week to a dance, party or show
5 all most girls can do, and do good
work in school. If he is Jolly, good
oal' he will see your parents side of
t. / do not believe your parents so
much object to the boy, personally, as
hey do to the idea that you devote
90 much time to good time" We
III enjoy having a good time, but
ome time must be devoted to the
more substantial things Of life. "All
york and NJ play makes Jack 4 dull
10Y" can be reversed with equal truth
do not see that it would be necessary
o sacrifice your friendship in order
o do as your parents wish. See if
'ou could not make a compromise by
evoting less time to him and more
D your school work. am sure every
ne will be satisfied, unless, of course,
our parents object to your boy friend
n the grounds that he is not the ,
light sort for you to associate with.
our parents have only your good in
lind, am sure. 10
