Beth. but I cannot give the address of
business firms or the names of any COM
modify which is sold commercially in
my column. However. you need have
no fear of the trouble you mention.
from the use of good article, as ev-
erything is eliminated in the manufac-
ture of such product now which could
cause you this trouble. You had better
let me write you personally about this.
Thank you so very much dear for your
lovely words of commentator. and I
wish I might answer you more fully
at this time.
Dear Miss Brooks:
We would like to ask you few ques-
tions. % Is II proper for boys and
girls to go In swimming together? (2)
How old should you be before you al
low boy friends to call on you and
take you out at nights? co Is 1t any
worse for girl to smoke than a boy?
"a Why is II that boys have the habit
of petting girls? Thanking you in adj
vance, we remain, truly,
TOOTS AND CASPER. Utah.
Thanks very. very much for the songs.
girls. % Surely 1t is proper for boys
and girls to go in swimming together
in a public pool. providing. of course.
they have proper bathing suits and are
properly chaperoned (2j Not before
you are sixteen, girls. (3) No, and
yes. No, in the sense that II is no
more harmful physically to a girl than
a boy. Yes, in the sense of it's moral
effect on both boys and girls. Men in
general have always looked upon the
gentler sex as being of finer clay than
themselves as regards morals, which
nm
woman lowers her moral standard to
the extent of smoking cigarettes with
him. what effect could she reasonably
expect this to produce? Quite naturally
he would expect stall further conces-
sions. And why. in the name of all
that is reasonable, should she wish to
smoke? The best that even its most
enthusiastic adherents claim for It, is
that at does not harm them" No one
ever claims that its continued use is
beneficial. Why then. waste our time
and energy on something we know
from the beginning can do us no good.
and may do us great harm? "a Be-
cause the girls have allowed them to
form this habit. of course. Suppose the
girls should all go on petting strike?
You don't imagine you would find the
boys petting each other. do you?
MR.. HAwLEY. Howe. Idaho.-Below
you viii see one of the songs you re-
quested some time ago.
NO, SIR
Tell me one thing, tell me truly,
Tell me why you scorn me so,
Tell me why, when ASKED a question
You will always answer, no?
Chorus
No, sir. no. sir. no, sir No-o-o-, Sir,
No. sir, no, sir, no, sir. no.
Ny father was Spanish merchant,
And before he went to sea,
ae told me to be sure and answer
No. to all you ask of me.
II. when walking in the garden,
Plucking flowers wet with dew,
Tell me. would you be offended,
If I'd walk and talk with you?
+ when walking in the garden
I should ask you to be mine
And should tell you that love you,
Would you then my heart decline7
