Quest loner from fro p m maho has received the three following follow ing loiters botters in answer to her recent query others will appear later to just a P questioner idaho idd 0 IV when on I 1 read your letter to al alna I 1 sa brooks I 1 just help writing to give my experiences and views on the subject of petting you ou may idy say oh yes youre another of these old fashioned women iannot fan not laif n not 0 t old fashioned and im not yet ihleen lg hleen years of age so no I 1 think im well qualified to know a little bit about it you Y ou say you cannot see w what vt haj hadrin irla a taw faw hugs huga and kisses will do use your sotir reasoning power and imagination just a little ilive you ever been to rz a asylum baylum bid id you ever stop to think how some ome of the simpleminded simple mind minded 21 d people got cot tike like they ey are hor here Is one of the ways by contracting dreadful diseases that may be spread by kissing and other ways kissing hissing la is dangerous and unsanitary and as aa tor for hugging diug gang put yourself in the boys place a moment why do you suppose he ha likes to hug a girl gir I 1 simply because ile he I 1 gets a kick out of it and I 1 ask you it better for a ciroto act no BO 8 she he may inspire higher thought than this you say boys do not care for or seek the company of girls who will not be petted I 1 disagree with you take my own case for ln stane I 1 used to allow boys to kiss and hug me true I 1 had plenty of b 0 a u x about one onal a night but I 1 soon found that they just juat liked to take me home and to parties where they expected to have a wild time etc but when it came to going somewhere that really counted they took someone else S so 0 I 1 stopped and now I 1 find I 1 have plenty of real ral fellows boys bos that are really worth while that respect in ia girl and the best beat of it Is s they really reality think enough ot of me ine to want to stop step rne mo again and again I 1 am one of the five most popular girls in our town have the beat of times at the dances dai aces and the boys all speak of me as VA A good sport a and nd a regular pal do y you ou find that many boys like alko to go steady with you or would like you for a wife I 1 think not I 1 love to be kissed and hugged as much is as anyone im sure but it pay so BO therefore equit I 1 quit I 1 think if you want the company of the right kind of boys boya you would do much better it if you would cultivate a be beautiful personality a cheerful cho erful smile a and nd a voice dont you A girl have to be dignified and sober to be nice lice she just ne needs e do to be natural I 1 find from talking to a boy that goes eroes to one of our moat prominent ent colleges that not one of the three girls who won first place ln an the popularity contest allows familiarities that prove what kind of girls aro are best beat liked I 1 hope this letter will help some I 1 surely would like a personal talk with you yours sincerely A
