Dear Miss Brooks:
We are two girls 16 and II years of
age and wish your advise on some puz-
cling things. % Is it 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 ?
we have noticed in your corner that
you did not approve of this and we
wish to know your objections. Our
folks approve of this. (2) Is it proper
for US to go with different young men
instead of a steady? We are now go
ing with two handsome young men
that we admire very much. They do
not want nor like to have US go with
other young men. Can you please tell
US why that is? (3) Because a girl
has bobbed hair, wears rolled stock
ings, short dresses, ETC., should people
have the opinion of her that she is
tough?" As long as a girls conscience
Is clear that is enough, do you not
agree with us? "a Is it fair to your
parents if they object, If a boy friend
writes to you and they are not allowed
to get or see the letters? Wishing to
see these answered in our paper, and
wishing you much success in your
work, we remain. as ever,
DOLLIE & DIMPLES, Meridian, Ida
All right, girls. let US hope I may
help you. Certainly it is not proper for
you to go any place with young men,
II you allow them this privilege. You
are evidently Of too immature years to
understand how to conduct yourselves

tained and approved of, 1 am sure, by
every thinking person. and the reasons
are obvious if you will but look about
you aud 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
1, who, from study and observation,
have seen the wisdom and necessity of
the establishment OF such customs. /
Why should one wish to make ones 1
self a common thing for coarse and I'M
refined amusement for every boy one
happens to be with? co 1 most surely do
not approve of allowing one boy to mon
opolize any girls time and attention.
She should be allowed to have as many
friends and admirers as she chooses.
to judge and choose a permanent one?
,3) No, she should not be condemned
'or effecting these styles, but you must
admit that many of them are very
,areless and Indifferent in regard to
heir behavior. which seems to be a
part of the makeup. There are ex-
,eptions, to be sure. as in all other
hings. We can sometimes soothe our
into acting according to
'ur bidding. az 1t is neither fair to
'arents to refuse to allow them to see
etters, nor is 1t fair to the children for
arents to insist upon seeing them.
Zach should have confidence in the
