Would you suggest being as enter taming' as possible T If so, give me some example as to how to act and do. Or what would you suggest? 2. I have a boy friend I have Dear Miss Brooks: I'm a funny member to enter your corner. I've wanted to for some time, but didn't dare, until I saw a letter In the last news Item signed "A Boy." Xou see I am "another boy." The questions I wanted to asrk are: 1. What kind of a boy or young nan (I'm 17) do girls admire? 2. Do they like to be "loved up" r do they prefer just honest friend-ihip? friend-ihip? 8. Has a boy of my age the right to escort a girl to dances? If not, ahat is the proper age? 4.

Can you give me some advice on this question? I doni want to write to him personally and I have some other things to tell him. He does not live here. I am 17 and of course worry over such things and am discouraged. Thanking you in advance, I am yours respectfully, DISCOURAGED. You must not be discouraged over suck things, my dear. You will no doubt find quite a difference between the Eastern and Western people in a social way, but you will soon become acquainted with them and I am sure like them very much. Surely, you should be as interesting ss possible. If you dance, play of sing, let your friends Know about It, and converse as entertainingly as yon know how, with everyone you meet. Other than this I cannot advise you. One should always be their own natural na-tural self snd be as pleasant as possible pos-sible to everyone they come in contact con-tact with. I would think the better way would be to write to your boy friend and explain why you quit 'writing and tell him just what you wish to Just a nice friendly letter. Dear Miss Brooks: I am a sincere reader of your corner cor-ner and I hope you can answer this question. What is the best thing to remove hairs from my neck? Thanking you, BILLY. Most of the well advertised hair removers will remove the hair, but of course not permanently and has to be used every few weeks. Ths electric needle is about the only thing which will remove hair permanently. Dear Miss Brooks: We have been .constant readers of your comer for some time.

I am glad you enjoy our little corner. Thanldn; you in advance, I remain, -YOUR OTHER BOY" Kanarra. Utah. P. S. A little more, please. 6. What is an interesting topic for - a boy and girl to discuss when alons ? I hope I don't occupy the whole corner. I enjoy the other letters toe much. . "Y. O. B," You are very welcome indeed, "My Boy," as are all the boys This is youn corner, too, .even though the 1 girls do seem to be in the majority now, so "dare" to come aa often aa ' you like. Now let me see if I can give you an idea of what kind of a boy I think I moat of the girls admire. Most emphatically em-phatically I do believe girls and boys of your age prefer honest friendship a friendship which does not smack of love at alL but invites the exchange of confidences, knowing that whatever whatev-er is said to them will be held in confidence. Take yourself, for instance. in-stance. I judge by your letter you are an honest dean-minded boy and do you not like best the girl who is interested in what interests you and who listens to your "troubles," secrets sec-rets and aspirations, rather than the one who would allow you to "love her up?" Yes, surely, a boy of your sge has a perfect right to escort a girl to a dance or any entertainment which Is respectable. The main thing Is to al-waya al-waya treat the one you are escorting ss a perfect lady should be treated, and if she does not appreciate such treatment, seek the sosiety of one who does. In most cases you will find a topic of conversation that is of mutual interest in-terest to both. School work is usually usual-ly interesting to those still attending school, then there are always the "movies," plsces of interest you have seen or wish to see, the all-absorbing radio subject which you msy or may not be interested in. I have not yet been able to find your song but may later, and will then have it printed for you, or perhaps per-haps some reader will send it in to me. Dear Miss Brooks: 1 feel that I am gaining much valuable val-uable information from ths questions which you answer in our paper. I have a few for you. 1. When is the proper time to wear class pins, graduation pins, - honor pins, etc. Is it proper to wear them all the time? 2. Is there anything in drinks which may cause a person to become a fiend for them, or is it all right te drink them often? 3. Is there a cure for blushing? I am bothered much with that one trouble. I have heard that there was something that couid be done for a poor blushing girl and often wondered if it were so. 4. What would be the proper thing to say to a young man who was merely an acquaintance or a friend if he should be car riding with a r?ovi trd he rhvjld jwt his t-Tiv. sbEt the girl by whom he was sitting, whether she was there as his partner or just with the crowd? 5. What would you advise as a good bleacher for hands and arms? Thanking you very kindly, M. D. E., Delta, Utah. Yes, it is quite proper to wear the pins you mentioned at ail times, with the possible exception of evening dress, although they are much worn even then. Dear Misrs Brooks: I have been reading "Between You and Me" for sometime and have enjoyed en-joyed it very much. Please tell me what to do. I have liked a boy quite well for some time. All of my friends t il ive that he likes nie better than others but ho goes witTi the girls he can love a little and who let hira kiss, them. He never trios to kiss me for which I am very glad. Please tell me how I can show him that I really am as good as the girls that "spoon." Thankinjr you for your trouble, I remain, yours most sincerely, WISHER OF GOOD LUCK, Lava Hot Sprns.

You will find your blushing will disappear in proportion as jou overcome this.
