talk about are the boys and dances
don't like to 20 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 want
talk about other things. they won't
listen to me, and tell me ! am jeal-
Gus. but I am not jealous over them.
What shall | do, keep going with them
or quit them?
| 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 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 I hope you can find 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. 1 hope l am
welcome.
l am just sixteen years old and have
a 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, l know
ne thinks lot of me by the way he
talks and acts. He not only talks
we'll of me in my presence, but before
everyone else. The only thing about
him | do not like is that he uses to-
oacco and smokes. but not in public.
,r my presence. He isn't as popular as
should like him to be. He has lots |
# practical experience, and is a good |
orovider, but has no good education |
n other lines. This boy is a farmer
md so am l. He has asked me to
marry him and my parents do not OBJ
ect. He has promised to leave tobacco
lone if / marry him. Do you think | !
an depend on his word? can either
marry him now or he will wait two
years for me. But / almost some |
lines think l am too young to tie my
elf down to any one, and miss all the |
un Icould otherwise have. 1t would
re quite easy for me to forget all
is faults and marry him, but the
hing l am in for is to choose the
light. We are both of the same reli-
ious faith, but he does not attend his
leetings as often as I should like him
D. All his folks are religious and per-
APPS he will be when he grows older.
70 you think he will? Should quit
I'M and go with other boys, or marry
i'm IN two years, or now? l thank YOU
cry sincerely in advance for the help
am sure of receiving.
