therein. sincerely hope you are in
real earnest in ashng your question.
Yes, indeed, I think there is harm In
allowing boy to put his arm around
q girl Of fifteen. Dear little girl,
boys and girls at the age Of fifteen
should be thinking clean, wholesome
thoughts, and . clean, healthy thought
will not suggest hugging and Kissing
at the age Of fifteen. I know you will
profit By the advice and not even
think Of such things, but fill your
thought (and keep it fully with pleas
ant, happy, girlish things. You will be
50 thankful you did . few years
further on.
Dear Miss Brooks:
l have been reading your corner in
tho paper very much and am gaining
much advice. I would like Just one
question OF. my own answered. When
l first came to Lava I gained many
friends. Now they all shun me or in
other words "high-brow" me. Would
it be proper to try to regain their
friendship? If it would, how would be
the best way to do it? I don't dance
and have no desire to do 50.
FRIENDLESS
Lava Hot Springs, Idaho.
Surely 1t cannot be a. bad a. all
that! One would not care to continue
to live in = place where they had no
friends, would they, for without
friends this old world would be a
drsary place indeed. Think the mat
ter over and see if you are not mis-
taken in thinking they shun you, or
If 80, what have you done to cause
them to do so? II you gained their
friendship once, you can again. All
one has to do to make friends Is to
be pleasant and agreeable. When next
you meet one Of these friends you
once made, but think they now shun
you, 60 half way in greeting them
and being pleasant. Perhaps you are
too reserved, and they interpret it as
being "high and mighty" It is diff
ficult for the selfish, untactful, dis
agreeable person to make friends, and
still more difficult to keep them.
Further than this cannot advise you,
for upon your disposition and person
atty depends your capacity to make
and hold friends. I am wishing you
the best Of luck and when next you
write mo am sure you will have
host Of friends.
Dear Miss Brooks:
see you have answered many ques-
tons for others. 1 have q question I
would like to have answered. 1 have
hAx 60 10
ed me to . dance. Two other boys
and he left the hall early in the ev-
ening. They were drinking. He
never came back to escort me home.
What would you do? Would you
accept his apology? am sixteen and
Of course worry over such things. I
am discouraged. Thanking you in
advance, I am respectfully yours,
DISCOURAGED.
Do not be discouraged, my dear.
Set your ideal higher and do not
worry over the mistake. I hardly
think you should accept his apology.
II he failed to escort you home for
the reason stated, his apology could
not justify an excuse for his actions.
Just because you are sixteen you
should not worry over Such Things.
A boy who drinks and especially at
ter having escorted you any place Is
not worthy Of our affection or con-
sideration, and I advise you not to
allow yourself to worry about it.
Dear Miss Brooks:
May / enter your corner. Should
girl Of seventeen 60 with the boys,
and is she old enough to get married!
Should a girl kiss boy good night
after he has taken her home? It
seems to be the fad in this place.
What is a respectable hour for boy
to keep with a girl?
Would you tell me what to do to
make my hair grow and to remove
Thanking you in advance,
ZELLA, Felt City, Idaho.
It would be proper for a girl of
seventeen to be escorted to a private
party by 4 boy or with some older
person with them, but No, Nc, MOI, she
