I've wanted to for some time, but didn't dare, until I saw a letter in the last news item signed "A Boy." You sec I am "another boy." Tho questions I wanted to ask arc: 1. What kind of a boy or young man (I'm 17) do girls admiro? 2. Do thoy like to be "loved up" or do thoy prefer Just honest friendship? friend-ship? 8. Has a boy of my age the right to escort a girl to dances? If not, what is the proper ago? 4. Could you give me tho words to the Ming that goes "I've loved you always, al-ways, yes I havo been true, my heart has never beat but for you, etc," or tell mo where I could obtain it? I have learned a lot and profited by your letters, and hope some one will gain knowledge from your answers as well as I. Thanking you In advance, I remain, "YOUR OTHER BOY" Kanarra. Utah. P. S. A little more, please. C. What is an Interesting topic for a boy and girl to discuss when alone? I hope I don't occupy the whole corner. I enjoy the other letters toe much. "Y. O. B." You are very welcome indeed, "My Bey," as are all the boys This is your corner, too, even though the girls do aeem te be la the majority new, so "dare" to come as often aa you like. Now let me see if I can give you aa idea of what kind ef a bey I think most of the girle admire. Most emphatically em-phatically I do believe girls and boys of your age prefer honest friendship a friendship which does not smack, of tore at all, but Invitee the exchange of confidences, knowing that whatever whatev-er is said te them will be held ia confidence. Take yourself, for instance. in-stance. I judge by your 'letter you are aa honest clean-minded boy aad do yen net like best the girl who b interested in what interests you ami who listens to your "trowBMa," secrets sec-rets and aspirations, rather than the one who would allow you to Tore her hb?" Yes, surely, a boy ef your age ha a perfect right to escort a girl to a dance or any entertainment Which ia respectable. The main thing is to always al-ways treat the oae you are escorting as a perfect lady should be treated, and If she does not appreciate such treatment, seek the society of one who does. In most cases you will find a topic of conversation that is of mutual interest in-terest to both. School work is usually usual-ly interesting to those still attending school, then there are always the "movies," places of interest you have seen or wish to see, the all-absorbing radio subject which you may or may not be interested in. I have not yet bem able to find yeur song but may later, and will then have it printed for you,. or perhaps per-haps some reader will send It ip to me. Dear Miss Brooks: I feel that I am gaining much valuable val-uable information from tho questions which you answer in our paper. I havo a fow for you. 1. When is tho proper tiitio to wear class pins, graduation pins, honor pins, etc. Is it proper to wear them all-tho thw)? 2. la there nnythlng In drinks which may cause a person to become tt fiend for them, or is ft all right to drink them' often? 3. Is thcra a cure for, blushing? I am bothered much with that one trouble. I havo heard that there was something that could be done for a poor blushing girl and often wondered if it were so. 4. What would bo tho proper thing to say to a young man who was merely an acquaintance or a friend if ho should bo car riding with a crowd and he should put his arm about tho girl by whom ho was sitting, whether she was there as his partner or Just with the crowd? 5. What would you advise aa a good bleacher for hands and arms? Thanking you very kindly, M. D. E., Delta, Utah. Yes, it is quite proper to wear the pins you mentioned at all times, with the possible exception of evening dress, although they are much worn even then. You can easily acquire the habit of drinking and it t beet to not drink it too often. As blushing is usually caused by self-consciousness or bashfulness, I have never heard of cure for It other than that or associating ns much as possible with people art! making every tffort to overcome your backwardness. You will find your blushing will disappear In proportion as you overcome this. , I do not believe it necessary to chooso your words so carefully in letting let-ting the young man know he was entirely en-tirely out of his place in putting his arm about you whether he was there aa yeinartner or not. If yov will send a stamped, addressed ad-dressed enr?'0''0 " w'" 8eml you ne name of n ilcn for your hands and rata. I am indeed uj to know you are ''fng InformatloU from our corner' IU, Brook-'Hya Brook-'Hya renj ur answers in tho paper and would like to see if you can help me on some questions. 1 I lived in the East and was very popular and respected. Now, I have, moved and no boys and very fow girls seem to care for my company. Would you suggost being as enter-' taining as possible? If so, give m somo example as to how to act and do. Or what would you suggest? 2. I have a boy friend I have quit corresponding with and now I' would like to let him know my reason for quitting. Can you give me some, advice on this Question? I don't want to write to him personally and I have some other things to tell him. Ho docs not live here. I am 17 and of course worry over such things and am discouraged. Thanking you in advance, I am yours respectfully, DISCOURAGED. You must not be discouraged over auch things, my dear. You will no doubt find quite a difference between the Eastern and Western people in a social way, but you will soon become acquainted with them and I am sure like them very much. Surely, you should be aa interesting aa possible. If you dance, play or sing, let your friends anew about It, and converse as entertainingly aa you know hew, with everyone you meet. Other than this I cannot advise you. One should always be' their own natural na-tural self and be aa pleasant as possible pos-sible to everyone they eome la contact con-tact with. I would think the better way would be te write to your boy friend and explain why you quit 'writing and tell him just what yea wish te-Ju.it a nice friendly letter.
