entirely tirel my dear miss brooks will you please answer the following questions 1 should you go with a boy when you are 14 years old olda 2 should a girl be in love with a boy at the age of 14 years 3 how should a girl comb her hair at the age of 0 14 years 4 how old should you bt lis to go to the dances your truly MISS P II 11 P F homedale idaho 1 no indeed you should have no thought of boys at 14 but have your entire mind on your studies and school work 2 how absurd of course not how could you S 3 A style I 1 think vry very becoming and simple Is to comb it back from the face ac in any manner which in is becoming to your particular features bring it together at the back braid a few inches and fasten with a barett baretto leaving the curled ends tree free A girl of fourteen oh should not dress her hair in any extreme style such as ear putt puffs or roughed in enormous puffs at the side of the head always the sim pie girlish styles are in better taste 4 sixteen er or seventeen Is quit quite young enough to go to dunces dances and tren tien wot ot tl ti e public dance hall ball girls fie be fie n Y dear I 1 am quite sure all you need is to bring your reserve forces of pride and dignity to the tore fore and so from the idea that pr protect hect yourself yoot you are in love with a boy who you ad mit quit without any cause I 1 do not say you cannot be in love at seven teen but I 1 do think you should make a heroic effort to overcome such a an n idea and do not understand how you could love a boy who treats you in such a manner of course it if you are in any way to blame that is another apropo but my advice now would be to try to become interested in some other nice young W man and you will soon be laughing at the idea of having been in love dear mis miss brooks would
