~ Do you think you know any
thing about love, dear2 How old are
you? II you are old enough to be
thinking about it and loved boy
believe you could tell him So
properly. This is one thing you car
be 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 not
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. l hope l am welcome as this
Is the first time l have written you.
Will you please answer this ques-
ton for me. very seriously.
l am just little High School girl
of 1719. l love a good time l am
fond of excitement and something
doing. But my parents do not ap-
prove of it. They think l should de-
vote more time to my studies and
reading, etc. Also, they do not
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 a gool
time goes, but he is the kind of boy
that if l refused to step with him
ne would demand an explanation and
would have none. He would insist
hat something was wrong and sulk.
Dur friendship would simply stop! 1t
would be hard as such jolly good
pals are hard to find in this town.
Shall drop him as my parents desire,
n shall | continue going with him and
ind him out for myself? Thanking |
vou in advance,
briggs, Idaho.
Being fond of excitement and
something doing" seems to be quite
popular idea just now, but we must
III admit that it is not conducive to
'ood work in high school, must we
lot? Your boy friend seems to have
quite few redeeming features, and
sulking" might tend to develop
ew more, so l believe l would take
chance. All you need to Eek
lain" to him is that your per-
nts do not approve of your
stepping out" so much during the
chool term, as it into rferes with your
chool work and you should be get
ing through high school. Once or
vice week to dance, party or show
J all most girls can do, and do good
'ork in school. If he is Jolly, good
al he will see your parents side of
:. | do not believe your parents so
luch object to the boy, personally, as
hey do to the idea that you devote
20 much time to good time" We
Ii enjoy having a good time, but
,me time must be devoted to the
lore substantial things of life. CAN
ork and no play makes Jack a dull
by" can be reversed with equal truth.
do not see that it would be necessary
sacrifice your friendship in order
do as your parents wish. See if
'u could not make compromise by I
evoting less time to him and more
your school work. / am sure every
lie will be satisfied, unless, of course. :
'ur parents object to your boy friend
the grounds that he is not the =
ght sort for you to associate with.
our parents have only your good in
ind, l am sure.
