Dear Miss Brooks:
We are two girls 10 and II years of
age and wish your advise on some pux-
fling things. ~ Is 1t all right for
girls Of our age to go to the movies
In the evening in company with young
men. and let them kiss you good night

you did not approve of this and we
wish to know your objections. Our
folks approve Of this. (2) Is 1t proper
for US to 20 with different young men
instead Of a steady? We are now 60
Ing with two handsome young men
that We admire very much. They do
not want nor like to have us 60 with
other young men. Can you please tell
US why that is? (3) Because q girl
has bobbed hair, wears rolled stock

All right, girls. let us hope I may
help you. Certainly It In not proper for
you to go any place with young men.
IL you allow them this privilege. You
are evidently of too immature years to
understand how to conduct yourselves
properly. My objections are well sus-
taihed and approved Of. am sure. by
every thinking person. and the reasons
are obvious II you will but look about
you and study the conditions which
exist In your own and every neighbor-
hood--conditons which are caused
largely by Indifferent and careless con-
sideration Of the proper customs and
conventions established by experienced
persons. older and wiser than you or
!, who, from study and observation,
have seen the wisdom and necessity of
the establishment Of such customs.
Why should one wish to make ones
self a common thing for coarse and I'M
refined amusement for every boy one
happens to be with? (2) l most surely do
NOT approve of allowing one boysto mon-
opolize any girls time and attention
She should be allowed to have az many
friends and admirers as she chooses
In what other way will she ever be able
to Judge and choose a permanent one
(3) No, she should not be condemn ed
for effecting these styles. but you mus
admit that many of them are very
careless and Indifferent In regard 4
their behavior. which seems to be q
part of the makeup. There are ex
captions. to be sure, as In all othel
things. We can sometimes soothe oul
