~ Do you think you know any.
thing about love, dear? How old are
you! II you are old enough to be
thinking about it and loved a 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 I am very sorry.
Dear Miss Brooks:
am very interested in your COW
corner. l hope l am welcome as this
Is the first time I have written you.
viii you please answer this uues-
ton for me, very seriously.
I am just little High School girl
OF 17h. 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.. I really do not care for him or
any other boy, any further than gooe
time goes, but he is the kind of boy
that IT l refused to step with him
he would demand an explanation and
/ would have none. He would insist
that something was wrong and sulk.
Our friendship would simply stop! It
would be hard as such jolly good
pals are hard to find in this town.
Shall drop him as my parents desire,
or shall continue going with him and
find him out for myself? Thanking
you In advance,
briggs, Idaho.
Being fond of excitement and
something doing" seems to be quite
a popular idea just now, but we must
all admit that it is not conducive to
good work in high school, must we
not! Your boy friend seems to have
quite a few redeeming features, and
"sulking" might tend to develop a
few more, 80 I believe 1 would take
a chance. All you need to lex
plain" to him is that your per-
ents do not approve of your
stepping out" so much during the
school term, as it into rferes with your
school work and you should be get
ting through high school. Once or
twice a week to a dance, party or show
is all most girls can do, and do good
work in school. If he is a "jolly, good
pal" he will see your parents side of
it. do not believe your parents so
much object to the boy, personally. as
they do to the idea that you devote
too much time to "good time" We
all enjoy having a good time, but
some time must be devoted to the
more substantial things Of life. "All
work and NJ play makes Jack dull
boy" can be reversed with equal truth.
do not see that it would be necessary
to sacrifice your friendship in order
to do as your parents wish. See if
you could not make a compromise by
devoting less time to him and more
to your school work. am sure every
one will be satisfied, unless, of course.
your parents object to your boy friend
on the grounds that he is not the
right sort for you to associate with.
Your parents have only your good in
mind, I am sure.
Dear Miss Brooks:
l am very interested in your corner.
| have few questions l would love
to have you answer, please. G) If
girl has been going with a fellow and
no gives her several presents is il
proper to return them to him when
either he or she quits? (2) I have a
girl friend who has the habit of tell
ing lies. Should keep on owning her
for friend or not? 81 Is it prop
er for girl to write first to her boy
friend? a. Is it proper to call on
your girl friends several times when
they don't call on you very often
Please answer these questions in next
weeks paper.
l am anxiously awaiting your an
swers.

u) II the gifts were expensive ones
It would be better to return them, but
girl should not accept expensive
gifts from a boy unless engaged to
him. (2) / would be sure they were
and if she persists in telling
them it would be better to try to show
her she was making a mistake, rather
than mistreat her. (3) No. would let
