answer you gave me and I 1 think I 1 will keep coming to you for you give such satisfactory answers MAE ephraim utah thanks mae I 1 have haie mailed you the book of plays and other litera ture and hope you will find just what you are looking for dear miss brooks I 1 have a few questions I 1 would like you to answer for mei have kept company with my fiance for a year and he never has given me a box of candy of any kind and never seems to want to treat me very much do you think that is because he doesn doean t care enough for mea me he gave me a real nice xmas present prevent 2 why is 13 it that boys we girls are acquainted with in our home town will not dance with us usa we always speak to them and hae hake never given them any reason we me know of to dis like us they always dance with the more popular ones and the s range girls hoping for an early reply BROWN EYES your fiance is unusual in that he has not given you even one box of candy but it does not necessarily mean that he does not care enough for you he ile may just be one of the kind who dees does not approve of spend ing money that way or he may not know that you are fond ot of candy I 1 imagine he must just be a thrifty eco comical young man who aho does not believe in spending money for small things which he does not consider of any value it would seem that it is up to you to use a popular phrase to let him know you care for those things or else think as he does about it and not let it bother you I 1 am sure I 1 cannot tell you why the toys boys of your town do not dance with you do you dance well if not im in prove in that respect all you can and I 1 am in sure they will dance with you on as everyone likes to dance with a good dancer and of course you wouldn t have your home boys neglect the visiting girls

hesitation that there was entirely tor much difference in your aes ales but 0 course there are exceptions to al rules and you are the only one jhc would be able to judge whether your case was an exception or not in most cases a man of forty who mar ned ried a girl of nineteen if you are considering marriage would be die tat tattnal orial and expect her to be obedient to his wishes etc

think a great deal of him or not be sure of yourself also my dear miss brooks I 1 have been so interested in your corner that I 1 thought I 1 would ask you some questions could you tell me how anyone
