Dear Miss Brooks:
| Would you mind answering . Ques-
ton which has been bothering me for
almost a year, l am young man OF
seventeen. very popular among the fair
sex OF this town. and am fond Of
amusements. especially basl etball and
dancing. / am also considered one of
the best violinists In this vicinity and
expect to make quite career for my
self violinst. the question which
| mentioned Is this. There is a young
lady of sixteen In this school OF whom
I am very fond. Sometimes she seems
quite attentive to me. but at other
times she is Indifferent. Her parents
are very strict, and forbid her to re-
ceive the attentions OF the young men
However. they seem to be In favor of
our friendship, which on my part has
already ripened into love. How can
tell whether she returns my warm re-
gard or II she really Is Indifferent? I
am greatly concerned over this matter
and win be grateful for your prompt
advice. Sincerely.
SENATOR FEwCLOTHES. Ida
My dear senator. the only way You
can hnd out anything with absolute
certainty is to wade right in and find
out. In your case the girl would seem
to be about the only one who can give
you a satisfying answer. unless you
consult the parents. which might be
less satisfactory. / am quite sure she
must be a wonderful little lady II she
has parents who advise and care for
her SO sensibly. When she has adj
vanced further In school they win
probably consent to her receiving at
tentions from boys. But senator. let
US reason together for a moment before
you put this question to her. providing
you should. Suppose she should tell
you she loved you (supposing you both
understood anything about love) what
then? 1t will be number of years be-
fore you can properly care for a wife,
for there are years of hard study be-
fore you II you expect to make place
for yourself with the violin. Would II
be right to bind her and yourself by
an engagement for such a long timer
Why not go on as you are while,
just being good friends and pals. leave
ing you both free to have other friendI-
Remember. sixteen and seventeen is
very young to become engaged. and

find someone else you thought you
loved after a few more years, An en-
Is sometimes very serious
thing and not lightly broken. Now,
Senator Fewclothes. has the foregoing
caused you to see things differently
If so. let me hear from you.
