hiawatha awatha a melody elody of love when shall we meet again poem tiger lily dear miss brooks I 1 have often thought I 1 would write to you and when I 1 read the letter from the questioner from idaho I 1 thought I 1 d like to give my opinion on it I 1 have let the boys love and pet me but never thought it really right to do so but all the other girls did and they seemed to be more popular than I 1 so I 1 thought I 1 d have to I 1 don t let every boy I 1 go with pet me but I 1 have let some that I 1 liked real well I 1 have often wished we could just be good friends laugh and talk and have a good time without being silly but I 1 am not much of a talker and neither were they so I 1 didn dian t know how to do differ enet and still have friends but I 1 don t believe in going too far and I 1 ve gone far enough that a why I 1 m sorry I 1 ever started and I 1 don t know hardly how to stop now tor for I 1 want them all for my friends I 1 know now its wrong and I 1 don t want to become like the beautiful rose that was put where everyone that came along could fondle and smell it until it became all wilted then nobody noticed it or wanted it I 1 want the bos to respect me and I 1 have heard girls say whose brothers go with girls that let them love and fondle them that they like them but don dont t respect them as much as they would it if they would not allow it and when the boys get together they talk about the girls and tell who allows such things A questioner FROM ARIZONA miss questioner I 1 am neither 16 nor married but 18 years old and what I 1 call popular you think you are popular because fellows go with you kiss and pet you and every night it its s a different one for my part I 1 think you have a poor I 1 if a of what Is meant by she Is a ar girl I 1 think and so do my friends that a popular girl must feel as much ft rt home with old people and her father and mother as she does with her young friends and be able to spend an even ing with a good book or some sewing she must be refined and cultured show good taste and be pleasant company do not be common property and do not stay out so late that you run out of things to say and have to start kiss ing and petting to pass the time away UTAH logan dear questioner I 1 cant can t believe you meant what you wrote if you were a boy you would n t want to marry a girl whose lips are free of charge to all would youa familiarity breeds contempt you know and you lose the respect of people you may say she lives in a I 1 small mall I 1 town but I 1 do not when I 1 go t to 0 a dance I 1 never miss a dance and I 1 have a lovely time wherever I 1 go but I 1 know that no kissing goes on I 1 love good clean times and I 1 have them I 1 am sure you will not always think this way any way because you will get ick sick and disgusted with it BELL utah and now I 1 think perhaps we have given all the space we should to these letters in regard to petting and pos sible sib I 1 should add just a word in order to put myself on record as opposed to this practice by young boys and girls although I 1 think perhaps most of the objections have been voiced in the ex cellena replies that have been received from readers one of the greatest ob sections to the practice Is that it makes the girl common and an object of de cislon by the very boys who encourage her to take part in it these boys often talk about such girls and point them out to other boys as girls who are easy and generally when it comes to marrying they fight shy of the girl who is willing to indulge in this ques tio tlona ble pastime promiscuously there Is no question of love about this pet ting it is an indulging of the senses only and is demoralizing to boys as well as girls in every instance those who have taken sides with the practice of petting have it can be carried too 90 far and in so doing give the best possible reason for not dicing it at all dear miss brooks I 1 have been delightfully interested in your corner and as I 1 in always in need of help I 1 would like to join I 1 am teaching a sunday school class and 1 I plan on taking them picnicking picnic ing their ages are from 12 to 14 can you sug dear miss brooks I 1 have

circumstances circumstance 3 I 1 am afraid I 1 cannot help you oi i this dear except to say that it if possible it Is much the better way to pay no anttn tion to it and simply ignore tl e girl and her actions one cannot quarrel alone jon you know and it she he ali dl ds she ui nt a n P III sest gest some games to play or something to do that will be interesting to the pupils thanking you in advance very sincerely yours C L utah sorry you didn dian t tell me if your class Is composed of girl girls or boys or both t 6 young gentleman friend of mine here who teaches a sunday school class suggests that you have relay races high jumps baseball games broad jumps etc he ire thinks even the girls can join in these games on one game in which all can join Is called japanese tag the taller girls or boys can act as leaders have each girl or boy put his or her right hand on the shoulder of the one in front holding the other hand behind his back the leader then twists and turns about into all sorts of shapes the one behind fol lowing and thase at the end trying to get hold of the leader another game the class might enjoy Is passing a bean bag or something of that sort choose sides and each side parses passes the bean bag from one end to the other and back to the beginner as quickly as possible without dropping it if ft it Is dropped it must go back to the end and start over again the one 0 ne who gets through first wins the game I 1 hope these suggestions may be of some use to you and wish you yog and your pupils a ery nery jolly picnic dear miss brooks will you kindly settle an
