your colors, crimson, black and light
blue. (2) No, Brown Eyes, 1 do not
think 1t proper for girls of thirteen to
go with boys. Devote three more years

ton to going out too much, thereby
sacrificing your studies which will
mean so much to you a little later

your name and address and this will
insure you more prompt service. as 1

'een a succes's but not often. Too great |
disparity in ages is too often dis |
-strous because of the fact that the |

ends on the class of novels she chooses.
nd 1t is not well for girls of any age /
o confine their reading to this class of
terature.
