Is my opinion, sixteen Is quite young enough for a girl to go with boys to public places of amusement. For a boy to escort a girl to a house rarty In the neighborhood occasionally before be-fore that age Is quite all right, but public affairs, no. I do not mean young people before this age should have no amusements but let their parties par-ties and dancing be In their own home and when attending tha theatre or "movie" they ehould ba accompanied by ome older member of the family. (2V There are so many "ordinary" people' for whom the necessary amount of ether varies so greatly It would not be poealbla for ma t Ttvt an average amount. , Dear Miss Brooks: I have nsver written to you before, but I read tha column "Just Between You and Me" with Interest and I sincerely sin-cerely hope you will answer for me the fallowing queatlons.

MAHOIE JIOO Tremonton, Ut. (1) Helen KelletM sight has not been restored. (2) No, dear, It Is not propsr r a good Idsa for children of any age te slay such garues. |
