Dear Miss Brooks:
We are two girls 16 and IT years of
age and wish your advise on some pug
zling things. ID 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 1t proper
for us to 90 with different young men
tr1w Aa1
frg with two handsome young men
ttst 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
toughT AS long as girls conscience
Is clear that Is enough. do you not
agree with us? "a Is 1t fair to your
parents IL they object, II a boy friend
writes to you and they are not allow ed
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

All right, girls. let us hope I may
help you. Certainly 1t 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 |
properly. My objections are well sus-
tanned and approved Of 1 am sure, by
every thinking person. and the reasons
are obvious IL you will but look about
you and study the conditions which
exist in your own and every neighbour
hood-conditons which are caused
largely by Indifferent and careless con-
sideration of the proper customs and

persons, older and wiser than you or
|, who, from study and observation.
rave seen the wisdom and necessity of
he establishment of such customs.
Why should one wish to make ones
'elf common thing for coarse and I'M
'efined amusement for every boy one
happens to be with? 90 most surely do
lot approve of allowing one boy to mon
polize any girls time and attention.
The should be allowed to have as many
riends and admirers as she chooses.
n what other way viii she ever be able

81 No, she should not be condemned
or effecting these STYLES, but you must
Omit that many of them are very
areless and Indifferent in regard to {
heir behavior. which seems to be a I
art of the makeup. There are ex- J
options to be sure, as in all other [
Kings. We can sometimes soothe our S
into acting according to c
UT bidding. (4) 1t is neither fair tol
arents to refuse to allow them to see l
.tters. nor is it fair to the children for
srents to insist upon seeing them. b
