I wish I could talk to you and tell you just how much the world of boys and girls, men and women, who-I who-I have really acomplished anything, or j hope to accomplish anything in this j world, think of the girls who have-' have-' pursued the course you are now pursuing. pur-suing. And is not your self-respect and the respect of your associates worth more than what you mistakenly think constitutes a "good lime?" 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 pcased to call' the "little flirting," the "white lie,"' the "small theft" which lead to the-great the-great crimes which are committed? When this small indiscretion is committed, com-mitted, it is not often the intention to-commit to-commit greater ones, but the smalt ones too often soon seem of no consequence, con-sequence, and greater ones arc indulged in-dulged in. Perhaps you have an exaggerated idea of what a "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 girt 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 who-cares for you for yourself alone and who r-.dmircs you for just what you are now doing holding yourself absolutely ab-solutely above reproach. Dear Mis-s Brooks: I read your interesting corner iiv our paper and like the rest have a question to ask you. Please tell me-the me-the proper thing- to do and say when introducing people and when being introduced. in-troduced. 'A BOY, Ephraim. The simplest form of introduction, is always the best, and can be properly pro-perly used on all ocasions as: Miss Smith, let n:e present Mr. Jones. Always Al-ways take the gentleman to the lady and speak the lady's name first, pre-senting pre-senting the man to the lady. A gentleman, gen-tleman, if introducing a friend of his own sex to a lady, may say:. Miss Smith, Mr. Jones desires to be presented pre-sented to you. When introducing people of the same sex, the younger is always introduced in-troduced to the elder. A man upon being introduced to a. , lady usually acknowledges the introduction intro-duction by saying: I am very happy to meet you, or a similar phrase. A lady acknowledges the introduction only by a bow and repeating the name of the person introduced. 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 write 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? fishjg 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 and sun although it is difficult to tell without with-out seeing the skin. I believe using a 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 address is: Miss Myrtle 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 things 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. Dear Miss Brooks: I am one of your constant readers and have found many helpful hints So if you will spare a little time and answer my questions I shall be thankful. thank-ful. I have read so much of removing freckles. Would you recommend this to anyone? any-one? I should not care to use it if it injures the skin in any way. Is and lemon juice also good to use on the skin? Thanking you in advance for your kindness. A READER. I am delighted to know you find helpful things in my corner. I am striving to make it valuable to my readers. I could not recommend othine for the skin. It is severe and very dry-Please dry-Please send me your address and I will write you a private rep'y regarding re-garding the preparations about which you enquire. This is a very bad time of year to try to remove freckles as all freckle removers are more or less severe on the skin and during the hot months they return very easily. Try removing them during dur-ing the winter months, then the- skin will be better prepared to withstand the hot summer. If you will send a stamped envelope I will give you a list of reliable preparations pre-parations for all kinds of skin blemishes. blem-ishes. Dear Miss Brooks: I am a girl, seventeen years of age. Up until now it has been my idea in life to be a "good girl." I have never fiirted or done any of the things which other girls do. As a result I stay at home, while other girls attend at-tend dances, shoves and other entertainments enter-tainments with the young men. It is hard to say, but true, that I have never had a date with a man anywhere any-where eear my own age. When I think it over and realize that I deprive myself of thepe things simply to preserve the respect of others I wonder if it is worth it. No one respects a girl who stays at home all the time even if they think and say they do, and no girl likes to go alone. Considering all these things I have come to the conclusion that if a little lit-tle flirting and a few kisses will bring me a good time I shan't be above granting them. A girl doesn't respect re-spect a boy who merely goes with 1 her for those things and I should never kiss a man that I really respected re-spected just 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 siu-o. Hopeful Milly, that your dedsiua wu not and is not final, for |
