would you, If you had to submit 20
such treatment just to go places with
this class of boys? All heil to You
girls! May success and happiness
attend you, and may your tribe In
crease.
Dear Miss Brooks: ,
We are very much interested in your
corner, and wish to ask few ques-
tons:
(1) Is girl at seventeen too young
to marry?
(2) Should a girl at eighteen be
her own boss, or should she take
her mothers advice all the time?
go Wouldn't it be well for light
complexioned girl to marry light
complexioned boy?
"a Is it proper for boy to give
girl very expensive birthday pres,
ent?
Thanking you for the trouble,
PEGG and TOOTS, Wasatch, Ut
(1) Yes, girls, quite too young to,
marry. You should only be begin
ming to go with the boys. (2) Your
mother, my dears, usually has more
interest in you than any one else in
the world, and is not apt to advise
you wrongly. She is supposed to be.
her own "boss" in a lawful sense at
that age. (3) scarcely think the COM
plexion has a great deal to do with
whether or not happy marriage will
result. (4) No, you should not ac-
cept an expensive gift from mere
friend.
Dear Miss Brooks:
want to ask you question or two,
which know you are capable of an
swering. have been reading every
week your little corner in the paper.
And now l am sure you answer ques-
tions, using good judgment, so here
I'll bother you for little advice.
It's just little misunderstanding
between my fellow and myself. You
have said "Try not to let fellow
know that you care a great deal for
him." Well, / do care for him, and
no doubt he has found it out. But
really have been told and believe it.
that he has said he will not coax any
girl. Nor he won't bother a girl that
doesn't care for him. Please sympa-
thize with me. He has heard have
another fellow, and that / like this
other fellow better than him, and that
l am going to quit him the first time
he comes over. He lives twenty miles
from here. Before knew about what
he had heard l wrote him a letter,
! inviting him over to a dance. He
neither answered the letter nor came
to the dance. am going away to
school within the next two weeks. I
would surely like to see him before
leaving. But don't like to write to
him again when he didn't answer the
last letter / wrote him. Now please
tell me what YOU think would be best
to do. He is a real nice fellow. He
doesn't smoke, he hasn't any bad hab-
4 its, and has always treated me as well
as a girl could expect. But he just
doesn't think like him. know that
part of it for fact. He is going on
mission, and if go to school without
seeing him. he will probably be gone
before l return. know he would
never write to me. hate to confess,
but have been flirting little. He
got an awkward misunderstanding
through some unknown party. Please
tell me what to do. Thanking you
very much, j am simple young lady
living in Utah.
You cannot afford to give your love
unbidden, my dear. You admit you
care for him and also say you think
he knows it, then later you say he
doesn't think you care for him. Dearie,
if man loves you he will tell you
about it; he just can't help 1t, and il
is his privilege to do so-not yours
to tell him. You have a right to
have other friends If you are not en-
gagged to, this one. and if he loved
you he would be very careful not to
believe anything he was not sure of.
If he received your letter he should
have been gentleman enough to an
yyer it, regardless of misunderstand-
ings. Perhaps he did not receive it.
In that case, you might write him a
note telling him you are going away.
He seems to be a worthy young man,
and as such, should be shown every
courtesy, but not to the extent of
sacrificing your dignity. I do SYM
pathize with you, and am sure this
affair will work out in a way that
} is best for you.
