tit e letter lette from just a questioner qu from idaho and since you have invited replies I 1 just wish to state briefly what I 1 think of the writer of said letter and the subject matter ali eluded to therein I 1 am surprised that any girl of mature age and mind would write such a letter in years to come coma and she will not have to w watt I 1 very long she will look back with regret upon such actions and it motherhood should ever tall fall to her lot I 1 think the she would never want a daughter of hers to follow such a course good boys love good girls and never try to take undue advantage of hugging and kissing promiscuously until they have that right there may be young men 0 of f the stripe she alludes to who take such liberties but after all Is said and done they have mighty little respect for a girl who allows such loose and unbecoming privileges I 1 have been through the mill and I 1 know what boys think of that class of girls never would they want her tor for a wife never would they want her for or a true companion with ideals so cowand low and shallow I 1 think this thin Is in sufficient I 1 have briefly touched upon the subject at hand and have tried only to say what I 1 know to be true DAD we are very glad to hear from a roan man on n th this a subject and one who from experience knows whereof he speaks cropper 7 1 it will never become a pest because it Is P biennial 8 it perhaps places more nitrogen in the tha goll than any other plant and Is a splendid fertilizer in that respect 2 aa this has appeared in our columns before I 1 am riot not repeating it

sent in a sons song or to avo but hae never faked any ques questions tiona hut but 1 think that you ou give sonic some splendid advice 1 have read in your corne coiner r all about t the h a petting problems and also read the te resting letter of just a questioner and to a certain extent I 1 think she mile la in right of course there are exceptions to all rules awl the so called p pelting e I 1 ng can be carried too far 1 cut t just juat for or a few young people to get ou out t and pet a little bit or in other words exchange a few hugs and kisses and mean no harm Is according to my own on idea all right for one thing some peoples natures are of the sort that they crave crae affection do you think it a sin for a young person whose nature Is of that kind and who has a clear conscience to crave affect affection lon and not get it we owe a lot to ourselves and as long as our cons conscience clen Is clear and our moral character Is above reproach to ourselves our selven n I 1 think petting Is in all right juk juat A READER lockerby ut dear miss alias brooks I 1 have been a constant reader of your corner tor for several months and it has helped me in many ways nas I 1 have never
