to come again I 1 am v very e 1 y much interested rested in your corner a and n d enjoy reading the letters as well as the answers I 1 have a very dear mother in whom I 1 confide and when a question arises in my ay iy mind I 1 go to her and accept her judgement jud gement as final in the paper of june you asked us to give our opinions on pet petting r 11 so I 1 am giving you my opinion I 1 am sweet sixteen and have never been bean kissed and am phoud of it I 1 wonder it if questioner would not be proud it if she could say the same I 1 am not C considered 0 on popular with either the boys boya or the girls of our town but have their respect and they are all ny nv friends even though I 1 am seldom invited to their parties etc I 1 have one very dear girl chum and we have very pleasant times together 1 I should never care to be popular it if to be popular you have to let the boys boya pet you my bly womanhood Is sacred to me and I 1 would not mar it tor for all the good times that the popular girls are enjoying to me it seems that a girl that would allow any toni tom dick and harry to kiss and pet her would soon consider those things so cornmon common that when the right man comes along she could not possibly enjoy the thrills of being petted by him I 1 taked pride and joy in raising beautt beautiful flowers and in reading go good 0 d books and enjoy doing housework house work sewing sew ing etc in fact I 1 am sure non none of the girls enjoy life more than I 1 do do the boys may poke a little fun at me and nd call me slow but as they grow older they notice the slow girls more and when a sober respectable young man looks for a wife it Is not among the flighty ones onea that he looks for her I 1 hope some of our letters will help questioner to see her mistake in closing I 1 wish to thank you miss brooks for the song long you sent me wishing you all success with the corner I 1 remain your appreciative friend VIOLA utah J eyes la is a depend ame rule rui to go

and coral pink should be especially becoming you could also wear deep soft yellows and greens and bright deep reds and lighter shades of blue 2 to accept presents from a life long lone friend such as
