Dear Miss Brooks:
: but you would not call it a good time,
would you, if you had to submit to
such treatment just to go places with
this class of boys? AL hail 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
ia 4. and wish to ask few aos'-
(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?
49, Wouldn't it be well for light
complexioned girl TO marry light
complexioned boy?
(4) Is it proper for boy to give
a girl very expensive birthday pres
ent?
Thanking you for the trouble,
PEGG and TOOTS, Wasatch, Ut
% 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 lawful sense at
that age. (3) scarcely think the COM
plexion has great deal to do with
whether or not happy marriage will
result. (4) No, you should not ae-
cept an expensive gift from a 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 am sure you answer ques-
tons, using good judgment, so here
I'll bother you for little advice.
It's just a little misunderstanding
between my fellow and myself. You
have said "Try not to let a fellow
know that you care great deal for
him." Well, / 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-
,hize with me- He has heard have
another fellow, and that l like this
,ther fellow better than him, and that
am going to quit him the first time
lie comes over. He lives twenty miles
rom here. Before knew about what
le had heard l wrote him a letter,
INVITING him over to a dance. He
leither answered the letter nor came
o the dance. l am going away to
chool within the next two weeks. /
would surely like to see him before
eaving. But l don't like to write to
i'm again when he didn't answer the
asst letter l wrote him. Now please
ell me what YOU think would be best
o do. He is a real nice fellow. He
oesn't smoke, he hasn't any bad hab-
IS, and has always treated me as well
s a girl could expect. But he just
oesn't think I like him. know that
art of it for fact. He is going on
mission, and if go to school without
eeing him. he will probably be gone
efore / return. / know he would
ever write to me. / hate to confess,
ut | have been flirting a little. He
OF an awkward misunderstanding
trough some unknown party. Please
I'll me what to do. Thanking you
cry much, am a simple young lady
wing 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. Dearie,
man loves you he will tell you
bout it; he just can't help it, and it
his privilege to do so-not yours
tell him. You have right to
I'VE other friends if you are not en-
aged to this one. and if he loved
~ he would be very careful not to
lieve anything he was not sure of.
he received your letter he should
I'VE been gentleman enough to an
yer it, regardless of misunderstand-
gs. Perhaps he did not receive it.
that case, you might write him a
tie telling him you are going away.
? seems to be worthy young man,
d as such, should be shown every
urtesy, but not to the extent Of
crificing your dignity. I do SYM
thize with you, and / am sure this
air will work out in a way that
best for you.
