O Where Has My Little Dog Gone. Dear Miss Brooks: We are two girls 10 and 17 years of age and wish your advise on some things. (1) Is it all right for girls of our age to go to the movies in the evening in company with young men, anti let them kiss you good We have noticed in your cornernight? that you did not approve of this and we wish to know your objections. Our folks approve of this. (2) Is it proper for us to go with different young men instead of a steady? We are now going with two handsome young men that we admire very much. They do not want nor like to have us go with other young men. Can you please tell us why that is? (3) Because a girl has bobbed hair, wears rolled stockings, short dresses, etc., should people have the opinion of her that she is tough? As long as a girls conscience is clear that is enough, do you not agree with us? (4) Is it fair to your parents if they object, if a boy friend writes to you and they are not allowed to get or see the letters? Wishing to see these answered in our paper, and wishing you much success - in your work, we remain, as ever, DOLLIE & DIMPLES, Meridian, Ida. All right, girls, let us hope I may help you. Certainly It is not proper for you to go nny place with young men, if you allow them this privilege. You are evidently of too Immature years to understand how to conduct yourselves properly. My objections are well sustained and approved of, I am sure, by every thinking person, and the reasons are obvious if you will but look about you and study the conditons which exist in your own and every neighborhood conditons which are caused largely by indifferent and careless consideration of the proper customs and conventions established by experienced persons, older and wiser than you who, from study and observation, have seen the wisdom and necessity of the establishment of such customs. Why should one wish to make ones self a common thing for coarse and unrefined amusement for every boy one happens to be with? (2) I most surely do not approve of allowing one hoy to monopolize any girls time and attention. She should be allowed to have as many friends and admirers as she chooses. In what other way will she ever be able to judge and choose a permanent one? (3) No, she should not be condemned for effecting these styles, hut you must admit that many of them are very careless and indifferent in regard to their behavior, which seems to be a There are expart of the make-uceptions, to be sure, as in all other can We sometimes soothe our things. conscience into acting according to our bidding. (4) It is neither fair to parents to refuse to allow them to see letters, nor is it fair to the children for parents to insist upon seeing them. Each should have confidence in the other, to have harmony. -- Let us not forget that without and Antletam there would have jbeen no Balleau Wood and Chateau Thierry and Argonne Forest.

The recurrent miracle of the spring provides , the outward and visible sign of Its inward and spiritual ' grace. So there will be flowers, both for the Blue and for the Gray and for the Khaki which the Blue and Gray united to make. Again shall we see the aged forms of 'the veterans who fought under Grant and under Lee, under Sherman and Stonewall Jackson; under Sheridan - t; ' 'and Stuart ; And do not let time dim for you the martial glories of their battles. For 'there is more to Memorial Day than lemlles and tears and tears and smiles for the Blue and the Gray. The United States of America does inot go around with chip on shoulder.

(1) My hair is bobbed and I look very well with it so. Should I let it grow out or keep it cut? I am a girl 18 years old. (2) Is it proper to go walking with a boy you have never met if he acts perfectly decent? BOBBY, Utah.

I have no doubt th. bobbed head will be seen for some time to come, in fact some predict it will always be with us and while it has enjoyed a slight revival of late, although worn quite different than it formerly was. still it is not so popular as it was some months ago. If you must wear it bobbed, to be quite it must be worn straight, clinging close to the head and the ends curled only slightly, if at all. Personally I do not advise bobbing the hair and do not think it belongs to or is becoming to any ex- te cept the very young girl, from 14 to 16 or 18.

I am fifteen and live in a country of sage brush. I love to ride horses, go everywhere on them and the faster they go the better. I thank the girl for the recipe for a good complexion. I believe as she does. I never owned a box of powder, not because I couldnt have it, but I hate it and the looks of it. Isnt it as bad to powder the way they do, as for a man to smoke?
