Dear Miss Brooks:
/ am very interested in your cosy
corner, az l always turn there first.
| hope | am welcome as this is the
first time l have written to you. I
would very much appreciate it if you
would answer the questions l am ask
ing you. % l am 4 girl of 10 years.
l have very dear boy friend who is
IA. He tells me he loves me and 9TH
err times he just gets mad and talks
cross to me. Is it correct for me to
speak first or not, or what is the cor
rect thing to do?. / treat him as nice
as l know how. But still l don't
think he cares for me, he is nearly al
ways talking about girls, and how
nice they are. l have girl friend,
IA, who loves the same boy do, but
this boy tells me he doesn't like her. |
But this girl thinks he likes her. Is |
1t proper for me to let her go with
him or should I continue going with
him? Is it all right to let every boy
you go with kiss you, or just your
steady one?
Thanking you in advance, I remain.
YOUR FRIEND, Preston Idaho.
Dear little girl, you should be play
ing with dolls, and reading Mother
Goose rhymes instead of talkinr
about loving and being loved by a
boy. Don't you know that you know ,
absolutely nothing about love? ri !
surely agree with you that he does not {
care for you. Be more independent !
and do not let him think you care for
him, and DO NOT care for him. Have :
your girl friends and girlish pleasures.
but do not think Of any boy, until !;
you are at least sixteen. Yes, indeed, :
let the other girl go with your friend :
if she will, but you forget ALL the =
boys, and, oh, my dear, surely you /
would not so far forget yourself as to :
allow ANY boy to kiss you who is >
merely a friend! Only your father =
md brothers should kiss you at your y
lge. Won't you believe this and act q,
accordingly? Put all your time and !
lttention to reading something which g;
vii improve your mind, find some -
hing interesting for your hands to q.
10 and you will wonder how you ever q
we're foolish enough to give these E,
uestions thought. M -
