her own boss, or should she taxi
her mothers advice all the time?

complexioned girl to marry a liebt
complexioned boy?

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 con-
plexion has a great deal to do With

Dear Miss Brooks:
want to ask you question or two
which l know you are capable of an
swering. l have been reading every
week your little corner in the paper
And now | am sure you answer ques-
lions, using good judgment, so here
I'll bother you for a little advice.
It's just a little misunderstanding
between my fellow and myself. You
have said "Try not to let fellow
know that you care great deal for
him." Well, l do care for him, and
no doubt he has found it out But
really have been told and l 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 l like this
other fellow better than him, and that
1 am going to quit him the first time
he comes over. He lives twenty miles
from here. Before / knew about what
he had heard 1 wrote him letter,
inviting him over to a dance. be
neither answered the letter nor came
to the dance. I am going away to
school within the next two weeks.
would surely like to see him before
leaving. But I don't like to write to
him again when he didn't answer the
last letter l 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-
It's, and has always treated me as well
as a girl could expect. But he just
doesn't think like him. l 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,
'ut have been flirting little. He
got an awkward misunderstanding
through some unknown party. Please
ell me what to do. Thanking you
very much, am simple young lady
living in Utah.
You cannot afford to give your love
my dear. You admit you
are for him and also say you think
e knows it, then later you say he
oesn't think you care for him. Dearle,
man loves you he will tell you
bout it; he just can't help it, and Il
his privilege to do so-not yours
o tell him. You have a right to
ave other friends if you are not en-,
aged to this one. and if he loved
GU he would be very careful not TO
elieve anything he was not sure or
he received your letter he should
ave been gentleman enough to an
wer it, regardless of misunderstood
lgs. Perhaps he did not receive IL
n that case, you might write him
ote telling him you are going away
