Dear Miss Leaf:
My husband and I have decided
to write you for advice relative tc
our little girl. We are in good shane
financially and able to give her
! every opportunity. She is our only
child and spoiled, as only children
are. She is fifteen years old and
wants to go to every party she
hears about and do things three OF
four years her senior.
We have been able to give heI
good clothes and every care pos
slble has been given her, but she
is arrogant and mean to us and will
not listen when we try to tell her
what is right for a girl of her age.
She has nice little friends her
age but she tells us that their pa
rents let them go but we want to
tie her down all of the time and
she will not stand for it. I am tell
ing you just how it is. No amount
of pleading and weeping seems to
help her, or have any effect on her
She is smart in her books. (she
is senior high school, and we do not
have any trouble with her at sehoo'
and she is a problem otherwise, and
we are so afraid something will
happen to her before she is old
enough to realize what she is doing
to herself.
Please answer soon.
Anxious Mother.
When little girls turn fifteen and
sixteen, they think they are grown
and want to do all of those thing:
they have promised themselves in
their younger years. Do not be SO
discouraged and dOwnhearted, as all
mothers and fathers, have this prob
lem TO meet, at some time or other
When she begins college, since you
are able, send her away to board
ing school; a good one usually has a
definite effect upon girls because
of its routine. .s-....... D..
