Xt,(Z, Dear Miss Brooks: I have been a very interested reader read-er of "Our Corner" for some time. Seeing: you have helped so many girls by answering their questions. I thought I would come to you for help. For some time I have noticed that the skin on my neck has been very coarse, and looks like goose flesh. I have used different kinds of treatment treat-ment to remove this coarseness but nothing seems to do any good. Could you tell me how I can get rid of this ? I noticed a few weeks ago in "Our Corner" that a girl in California wrote to you asking you to get some one to writ to her. If you still have her address would you kindly let me have it as I feel that I would like to write to her? Wishing: you a success suc-cess in your work, I remain, BIRDY, Delta, Utah. The condition you mention must be due to exposure to the wind ami Considering' all these things I havo come to the conclusion that if a little lit-tle flirting, and a few kisses will brin me a good time I shan't be above granting them. A girl doesn't . spect a boy who merely goes with her for those things and I should never kiss a man that I really respectedjust re-spectedjust for a good time. Will you please give me the opinion opin-ion you hold of my decision. Yours hopefully, ''"'! MILLY, Shoshone, Ida. I am sure, Hopeful Milly, that your decision was not and is not final, for I am sure you are making a wrong one. I wish I could talk to you and tell you just how much the world of boys and girls, men and women, who have really acomplished anythinga'or hope to accomplish anything in this world, think of the girls who hare pursued the course you are now pur suing. And is not your self -respect and the respect of your associates worth more than what you mistakenly think constitutes a "good time?" You used the small word "if well When you said "if a little flirting, a few kisses, etc.," do we not know that it is what some are peased to call the "little flirting," the "white lie," the "small theft" which lead to the great crimes which ar committed? When this small indiscretion is committed, com-mitted, it is not often the intention to commit greater ones, but the small ones too often oon seem of no coo-sequence, coo-sequence, and greater ones are indulged in-dulged In. Perhaps yon have an exaggerated idea of what "good girl" should be. She does not necesasrily have to be a prude. You should by all means go out with young people. Go with a girl friend, cultivate a happy, jolly disposition, dispo-sition, wear a smile, be as entertaining entertain-ing as you know how to be, and you ' will soon find there are boys who appreciate ap-preciate a girl of that sort more than the one who allows him too many privileges. Save your affection and caresses for THE man you respect and admire above all others and who cares for you for yourself alone and who admires you for just what yoo are now doing holding yourself absolutely ab-solutely above reproach. it me wiuu n sun although it is difficult to tell with-ut with-ut seeing the skin. I believe using good cleansing cream followed by a good tissue builder combined with gentle massaging or patting will remedy rem-edy this condition. I am glad you are interested in our little California friend. Her name and SMTJ,.! ,MiM Myrt1 Chapman, Burrel, Calif. Thanks for your kind wishes. Dear Miss Brooks: I had a very 'dear boy friend but about eight months ago he said something some-thing to me while angry. I have wanted want-ed very much to renew our friendship friend-ship since then but haven't had the courage. It would be impossible for me to speak to him. Would it be proper to 'phone him or write him a letter? Have I let things go on too long, or is there time now to make tilings right? I would like to find out if he cared to regard me as a friend again. How can I? Thank you very much. DOLLY, Mt Pleasant, Utah. We sometimes pay dearly for allowing allow-ing ourselves to become angry, do we not? It would altogether depend on what you became angry about I should think, as to whether you could write to him or not. If you felt you were too hasty and were not justified in your condemnation, you should have let him know in the beginning. If you should telephone or write to him now, unless he has shown a desire to renew re-new your friendship, you would be placing yourself in a very unenviable position. My advice would be, my dear, to wait until he shows some inclination in-clination to again be friends, which he will do if he cares about it.
