Dear MUs Brooks; I have read your corner In the paper every week for a long time and have gotten some very good, advice from 1U This is the first time I have written to you but hope you will not be too buiy to help me with some questions that are bothering me,"(t) When a boy and girl are walking together should the boy take the girl's arm or should the girl take the boy's T (2) What are the tsstest dance steps T (3) There Is at certain boy In our town who Insists on kissing me on the forehead while he la dancing with me. My girl friends say he does not annoy them with such actions. I have asked him to dlsconUnue this and have even refused to dance with him several times, but he always asks me until I am ashamed to turn him down any more and 1 do not like to turn him down nyway as he Is a very good dancer. What would you suggest? (4) This summer while I was visiting friends In another town I met a very nice boy who fell deeper. ately In love with me. After I came home he wrote to me and I answered his letters. A week ago he came to see me and Insisted that I marry him Immediately, I refused because I did not love him. Since he went home he has turned out as his friends term It to be "a bad boy." He got drunk and had a fight with his best friend and Is drinking and fighting all the time now and his folks cannot do a thing with him. His sister and several friends have written to me telling me how I have ruined htm, broke his heart and sent him to the bad. They say I led him on, Juit on purpose to have the fun of dropping him and his family feel very hard toward me. I am so dlttressed. I cannot marry htm because I do not love him. I am twenty years old and surely know my own heart. What can I dot Hoping you can help me right the wrong I have caused, and wishing you every success In your work. I am.

Perhaps among the newest extremes of this dance are the Scandal Walk and the Frisco Walk. Varla- tlons of the Tango are also popular. (I) Well, my dear, I must confess that such a situation Is "beyond" me to understand, I can neither understand how a boy could show you so little consideration or respect, or how you could possibly permit such "carryings on." And now you are not going to allow It any mors, are yout For you mt know that this is not only the last word In Impropriety, but ' places you In a very awkward and unde- ' ilrable position In regard to other persons.
