answer iwer this question for me very seriously I 1 nm am just a little high school girl of n I 1 love a good time I 1 am fond of excitement and something doing but my parents do not approve of it they think I 1 should devote more time to my studies and reading etc also they do not approve of my best boy friend he is lots of fun decent and not soft like most boys in my own heart I 1 think the reason they dont want me to go with him is because he shows me too good a time you argue the point with them and it is something they have no proof of but believe it and they simply plead with me to quit him bim I 1 really do not care for him or any other boy any further than a gooc time goes but he is the kind of boy that if I 1 refused to step with him he ha would demand an explanation and I 1 would have none he would insist that something was wrong and sulk our friendship would simply stop it would be hard as such jolly good pals are hard to find in this town shall I 1 drop him as my parents desire or shall I 1 continue going with him and find him out for myself thanking you in advance driggs idaho being fond of excitement and something 5 0 doing seems to be quite 1 a POP popular ular idea just now but we must 1 all 11 admit that it is not conducive to good work in high school must we not your boy frind seems to have quite a few redeeming features and sulking might tend to develop a few more so BO I 1 believe I 1 would take a chance all you need to explain to him is that your parents do not approve of your di stepping out so much during the school chool term as it interferes with your school work and you should be getting through high school once or twice a week to a dance party or show Is all most girls can do and do good work in school if he is a jolly good pal he will see your parents side of it il I 1 do not believe your parents so much object to the boy bay personally as they do to the idea that you devote too much time to a good time we all enjoy having a good time but some time iut be devoted to the more substantial thing all work and na play me malla a dull boy can be b reversed reversed N haruth Ht t ruth ido I 1 do not se sec that it we essary to sacrifice your frie a order to do as your parents wish wis see if you could not make a coal compromise promise by devoting dero ting less leas time to him and ad more to your school work laisur I 1 am stirs advery everyone will be satisfied fied unless of course your parents object to your boy friend on the grounds that he is not the right sort for you to associate with your parents have ordy only your good in mind I 1 am sure bur e der dear miss mis brooks I 1 am very interested in your corner comer I 1 have a few questions I 1 would love to have you answer please 1 if a girl has been baen going with a fellow and he gives her several presents is it proper to return them to him hanwit w alwn n either he or she quits 2 1 I have a girl friend who has the habit of telling lies

very oten please pleasa answer these question Irli nelt 6 weeks paper I 1 am anxiously awaiting your answers lovingly PEGGY arco idaho 1 if the tha gifts were expensive ones it would be better to

elwy to show her she was making a rather than mistreat her 3 no I 1 would 1 let t the boy write first 4 1 I do rift not think it would be improper for YU you to td call on your girl friends several times dear miss brooks I 1 am a girl thirteen years old anil and 0 ro o with some girls fourteen n fifteen ird ind sixteen years old and all thy talk about are ara the boys and dances I 1 dont like to go to dances and I 1 S am too young to talk about the boys they talk of when they grow to womanhood of how rich they are going to be and all nonsense like that I 1 want to be childish as long as I 1 can it if I 1 talk about other things they wont listen to me and tell mo me I 1 am jealous but I 1 am not jealous over them what shall I 1 do keep going with them or quit them I 1 remain as ever your friend WILD RIDER of idaho can you not find one or two girls w with ith the same came ideas as you have w whom hom you can associate with you have the right ideas and by all means live up to them you will be a young lady long enough it is very foolish for girls of thirteen to be going to dances and thinking about the boys your school work will take your time now and I 1 hope you can find a congenial friend or convince them they should be interested in something worth while dear miss brooks just one more question for you to answer this is my first letter to your corner I 1 have enjoyed reading other letters for a long time I 1 hope I 1 am welcome I 1 am just sixteen years old and have avery a very near and dear boy friend who is twenty one I 1 have been going with him for two months now and find him to be very pleasant and respectful at least in my presence he will go to an enormous amount of trouble to take me everywhere in fact I 1 know he thinks a lot of me by the way he talks and acts ile he not only talks well of me in my presence but before everyone else the only thing about him I 1 do not like is that he uses tobacco and but not in public or my presence he as popular as I 1 should like him to be he has lots of practical experience and is a good provider but has no good education in other lines this boy is a farmer and so am 1 I he has asked me to marry him and my parents do not object ile he has promised to leave tobacco alone if I 1 marry him do you think I 1 can depend on his word I 1 can either marry him now or he will wait two years for me but I 1 almost sometimes think I 1 am too young to tie myself down to any one and miss all the fun I 1 could otherwise have it would be quite easy for me to forget all his faults and marry him but the thing thin I 1 am in for is to choose the right we are both of the same religious faith but he does not attend his meetings as often as I 1 should like him to all his folks are religious and perhaps he will be when he prows grows older do you think he will should I 1 quit him and go with other boys or marry him in two years or now I 1 thank you very sincerely in advance for the help I 1 am sure of rece ivine AN IDAHO INQUIRER two months is a short time in which to choose a life companion do you not think so if tobacco is distasteful to you you had better persuade him to stop its use now yon would probably have much more success in doing so than after you are married it is hard to find all the qualities we admire combined in one person you know dear so do not expect too much but now why not wait the two years you are so 0 o very young and just have a nice ice time you will both be on trial and you will be much more able to tell whether you care enough for him to marry him in that time you need a few more years of girlhood free from the more serious responsibilities of life the ile foregoing would be my advice I 1 am ure sure you will not regret waiting so you may become better acquainted with your friend and learn I 1 his peculiarities and disposition one should live their religion every day and not wait to prow grow old to use um ft dear jerry jarry tin can alley utah one of our readers
