your corner and would like to ash ask you a ling question Is it all right for a i boy to take a girl of sixteen to a party dance or show without a grown person along with them I 1 remain your true friend TOOTS of UTAH no dear I 1 unreservedly take the th egand that it Is not proper tor for young girls of sixteen under or over a few years to go to any pub lie place of entertainment while this form of etiquette quette la Is not generally ob served in our western states it Is ne erth eless a breach of good form to neglect it it if parents were more cart care tul ful in this respect there would be less cause for regret later on I 1 am quite sure this Is not a precaution taken because they question the boys and girls ability or willingness to conduct themselves properly but Is simply a matter of good breeding and in indicates indeli ates thought and care on the part of the parents for illustration have you not noticed that the little children whose pal ants seldom trouble themselves about where they are what they are doing who they are with and who are allowed to go about at all hours of the day and oftentimes night develop rough ways and manners unloving and unlovable dispositions and are treated bs eie everyone carelessly and indifferently because in the home where tie tl e toun foun dation and basis of training and char acter building properly begin there seems to be indifference and this rad lates to everyone with whom they come in contact or a e with this ap plies to the older chaij as R ell I 1 say this Is in the general rule there are axe excel ep eions of course there are persons who no matter what the edvi environment rosment and training Is or has been retain the priceless as jewel of refinement and beauta of character through it all but these bre ere comparatively rare cases bo so yoi yo i see as the girl wl ose friends know her parents and the girl herself take this care and precaution naturally use the same protection for her when she is in their care dear miss brooks As A I 1 am interested in your corner I 1 was wondering if you could give me the tune to the song down by the silvery rio grande wishing you the best of luck LEMONT utah I

he loved me more than he h did her do you think thin k he be does during the whole time we have gone together he hag has talked of marriage night before last he told me he would marry me do you think

for your trouble BLONDE utah your questions are hard bard ones to put to anyone for advising a girl to marry or not to marry Is rather a hard prop position when one la Is i ot acquainted with any of the parties ae an to whether you will marry him or not of course rests rest entirely with you are you sure you know what love Is why do your par ants wish you to get married it would seem much better to wait a few years more as you are quite young to marry it would seem that it this young man thought more of you than anyone else and he surely should if he has asked you to marry him he would not leave vou u entire entirely ay and spend his time with this other girl now dear you will have to decide this question yourself but I 1 certainly would not advise you to marry anyone just to get married yo i can marry any time but after you are once married it Is for a long time or should be dear miss brooks I 1 read your corner and enjoy it I 1 think you can help me 1 1 I was born in august

august 2 you can wear light blues rose shades soft greens browns and reds 3 1 it if you are old enough to go with boys at a I 1 I 1 should say it was more proper to go with more than one than with just cne one it Is probably because you are too young that your parents object to boys and dances it lf vou can take dancing lessons lesson this la Is the better way it if you cannot do this ask a friend to come to your home and teach you there your parents should a and nd do know what Is beat best tor for you my dear they know the circumstances and conditions I 1 do not I 1 cannot help but

ana anck I 1 hops hop I 1 am doing this J rf t 7 9 aa in my small way dear miss brooka brooks would you mind answering a que tion which has been bothering me for or almost a year I 1 am a young man of seventeen very popular among the fair sex of this town and am and ot of amusements especially basketball and dancing I 1 am also considered one of the best violinists in this vicinity and expect to make quite a career tor for myself as a violi nat the question which I 1 mentioned Is this there Is a young lady of sixteen in this school of whom I 1 am very fond sometimes she seems quite attentive to me but at other time times she Is indifferent her ifer parents are very strict and forbid her to receive the attentions of the young men however they seem to be in favor ot of our friendship which on my part has already a ripened into love how can I 1 tell whether she returns warm regard or II 11 she really Is indifferent I 1 am greatly concerned over this matter and will be gra braget tefil il tor for your prompt advice sincerely SENATOR ida my dear senator the only way you can find out anything with ab absolute souto certainty Is to wade right in and find out in your case cast the cirl girl would seem to be about the only one who can give you a satisfying answer unless you consult the parents which might ba b legs less satisfactory I 1 am quite sure bhe obo must be a wonderful little lady it if she sh has parents who advise and care tor for her so sensibly when she has ad danced further in school they will probably consent to her receiving attentions tent ions from boys but senator let us reason together for a moment before you put this question to her providing you should suppose she should tell you she loved you supposing you both understood anything about love what then it will be a number of years before you can properly care for a wife tor for there are years of hard study before you it if you expect to make a place for yourself with the violin would it be right to bind her and yourself by in an engagement for such a long time why not go on as you are a while lust just being beilig good friends and pals leaving you both free to have other friends remember sixteen and seventeen la Is very young to become engaged and horrors what it if you or she should find someone else you thought you loved after a a few more years an engagement ga Is sometimes a very serious hing thing and not lightie broken now senator Few clothes has ham the foregoing caused you to see things differently it if so let me bear hear from you dear miss brooks I 1 have enjoyed your corner for some time and would ilke you to answer sor sore e questions tor for me 1 1 I was born on nov 23 what Is my lucky day days and months 2 1 I am very much IT in love with a girl and another little nip flip keeps putting herself in my plans for the future about a month ago I 1 received a note asking making me to come and visit her I 1 asked the flip regarding the matter

idaho what a poisonous young mani 1 they eay say that tor for one born in no vember tuesday la Is the lucky day and july and january the months 2 so you are very ery much in love my dear boy you have my sympathy it Is a very serious affair at your age it if you are truly sorry it Is never too late to try to make amends you know this experience may have taught you that it Is not wise to consult anyone whom you have so little respect tor for as you apparently have tor for thia this girl from the way you allude to |
