BLACK SHEEP From their folded mates they wander far, Their ways seem harsh and wild; They follow the beck of a baleful star. Their paths are dream beguiled. Yet haply they sought but a wider range, Some loftier mountain Blope, And little recked of the country strange Beyond the gates of hope. And haply a bell with a luring call Summoned their feet to tread Midst the cruel rocks, where the deep pitfall And the lurking snares are spread. . , Dear Reader: This is your corner.

Dear Miss Brooks: I have been a silent reader of the "Between Vou and Me" for a long time, so I decided maybe you would answer a few questions. (1) Is it proper for a girl of 13 to go home from a house party with a boy? This boy l a personal friend. (2) Is It proper for a girl of 13 to go to a public dance In the country. By my writing how old do you think I am? Hoping I am not too much trouble, I remain, your loving; FRIEND PEGGT. Very glad you have spoken. Friend Teggy. (1) Surely, from a neighborhood neighbor-hood party. (2) No, Peggy, not to a public dance. You should not go to a public dance for several years and then only with a chaperone In your party. I would guess your age about 13. Dear Miss Brooks: Miss Brooks, may I ask you a question? ques-tion? (1) Do you think it is proper for a boy to send gifts to a girl he has never seen? (2) The girl I go with now, allows me to kiss her and does not seem to care. Do you think girls care to be Just toys like this, or is it because she thinks she will offend me if she resists? I am not in love with this girl and don't think I ever could be, but she is a good sport and is always al-ways there when I want her to go with me. Do you think I should keep going with her or quit? Sincerely, B. B. .Utah. If you only knew how glad I am to answer a boy's question on this subject! sub-ject! (1) It would depend upon how long you have been corresponding or how long you have known of her. If you have corresponded for some time, a box of capdy or a nice book If you have learned her tastes, and likes and dislikes well enough would be quite proper; nothing more. (2) No, 1 do not think girls do care for this sort of thing but they do seem afraid of giving giv-ing offense by refusing. But If they only knew and would understand, a boy Is not so easily offended as she thinks, and the boy who dors take offense of-fense at their refusal to grant all his requests and demands Is not worthy of their attention, I am sure she would not submit so tamely. Tour letter seems to bear me out in my conclusion that a real boy, one who can look you squarely square-ly In the eye and not feel ashamed of I To W. B., Moore, Idaho: Time and space are too limited to attempt to solve riddles, W. B., and your question sounds very much like one to me. If It is not, and you wish to state It more plainly, I shall be glad to assist you In every way possible. Dear Miss Brooks: I have been reading your corner for some time and have found It very interesting. inter-esting. I would like to have these questions ques-tions answered: (1) How can a heavy scorch be taken out of pongee without leaving a large spot? (2) Why do boys like the girl who has her hair cut, wears very short dresses and uses rough language, rather than the ordinary or-dinary girl? FRECKLES. (1) If the scorch is heavy it cannot be removed. Wash the spot gently with soap and water and let It lie in the sun until dry. If the scorch is not too deep this will remove it, and if this method does not remove it I fear nothing noth-ing will, because the fibres of the material ma-terial Itself are doubtless Injured.

(4) Is it proper for a girl to allow a boy to kiss her good-night after af-ter being engaged? CURLS AND FRECKLES, Arco, Idaho. Personally, girls, I would not advise a girl to ever go to the public dances unlens in a party of friends and unless the party Is chaperoned. (2) No, girls shotild not use rouge or lip stick.

Do you agree? I would not attempt to advise as to whether or not you continue your attentions to this girl. You should decide that, but I do not advise any young man or woman wo-man to allow one person to monopolize ill of their time and attention. tractive combination. A girl with bobbed tresses and short skirts (both of which are much out of date) may be I very lovable and very attractive, but rough language is not attractive to any T boy he Is a monopolizer of this art , f himself and he does not admire a girl , who attempts to usurp his rights along this line.
