talk about are the boys and dances. ]
don't like to go to dances and : am
too young to talk about the boys. They
talk of when they grow to woman
hood. Of how rich they are going to
be and all nonsense like that. l want
to be childish as long as can. II /
talk about other things, they won't
listen to me. and tell me | am jeal-
Gus, but l am not Jealous over them.
What shall l do, keep going with them
or quit themf
remain, as ever, your friend,
WILD RIDER of Idaho.
Can you not find one or two girls
with the same ideas as you have,
whom you can associate with? You
have the right ideas, and by all means
live up to them. You will be a young
lady long enough. 1t is very foolish
for girls Of thirteen to be going to
dances and thinking about the boys.
Your school work will take your time
now, and | hope you can find a con-
genial friend, or convince them they
should be interested in something
worth while.
Dear Miss Brooks:
Just one more question for you to
answer. This is my first letter to your
corner. l have enjoyed reading other
letters for long time. / hope am
welcome.
l am just sixteen years old and have
very near and dear boy friend who
is twenty-one. have been going with
him for two months now and find
him to be very pleasant and respectful,
at least in my presence. He will go
to an enormous amount of trouble to |
take me everywhere. In fact, / know
he thinks lot of me by the way he
talks and acts. He not only talks !
well of me in my presence, but before
everyone else. The only thing about |
him l do not like is that he uses to-
bacco and smokes, but not in public, |
or my presence. He isn't as popular as
[ should like him to be. He has lots |
Of practical experience, and is a good |
provider, but has no good education
in other lines. This boy is a farmer
and so am /. He has asked me to
marry him and my parents do not OBJ
ject. He has promised to leave tobacco
alone if l marry him. Do you think l
can depend on his word? can either
marry him now or he will wait two
years for me. But almost some
times think / am too young to tie my
self down to any one, and miss all the
'un l could otherwise have. 1t would
be quite easy for me to forget all
his faults and marry him, but the
hing l am in for is to choose the
light. We are both Of the same reli-
yious faith, but he does not attend his
meetings as often as should like him
%. All his folks are religious and per-
laps he will be when he grows older.
Do you think he will? Should I quit
him and go with other boys, or marry
him in two years, or now! / thank you
Tery sincerely in advance for the help
am sure Of receiving.

Two months is a short time in which
o choose life companion, do you not
hink so? II tobacco is distasteful to
-ou, you had better persuade him to
top it's use now. Yon would probably
ave much more success in doing so,
han after you are married. 1t is hard
o find all the qualities we admire,
in one person, you know,
ear, so do not expect too much. But,
ow, why not wait the two years, you
re SO very young, and just have a
ice time. You will both be on trial,
nd you will be much more able to tell
neither you care enough for him to
harry him In that time. You need a
ew more years Of girlhood. free from
he more serious responsibilities of
fe. The foregoing would be my
dvice. / am sure you will not regret S
aiting so you may become better d
cquainted with your friend, and learn il
is peculiarities and disposition.
One should live their religion every z
