ilka better ile he to Is a perfect gentleman at t all times I 1 went wit with h him last winter for a while but I 1 thought I 1 liked another fellow better than he so 80 1 I ault him and went with wit theother fellow I 1 treated him bin very cool until lately we wa speak now and I 1 have come homo home from parties with him and have asked him to come and see me but it dont seem to do any good now miss brooks can you tell m me how to gain his big true friendship and bo be friends with him wishing you success I 1 remain one of your many callers WAITING WA ITINa utah even it if you did think you

desired to another youns young man but you really had bad no right to mistreat the other young man M 1 when W hen he had always been IL a berf perfect ct 9 e in his treatment ot of you do you think personally I 1 think it very splendid of him to show now you as a much consideration as he has m me dear for scolding you and I 1 cannot see bee as there Is a thing you can do now except be your own sweet self belt and trust to the as tama me qualities which first attracted him to you to do it all over again you know the days of witchcraft and love potions are past and I 1 can work no magic to bring about an adjustment of affairs its as they once were I 1 can advise however against contenul conti continuing nul n 9 to invite him to come to see gee you a and nd showering him with your atten attentions attention tio as this course will most certainly have just the opposite effect from what you wish it if this boy Is anything like the sort of a boy I 1 take him to be to IDAHO PEACHES thanks my dear both tor for your generous words and the song you enclosed when may I 1 return r e turn the kindness dear miss brooks 1 would you please tell me what ft a woman who writes poetry la Is called 2 ilow how old do you think I 1 am by my writing AM idaho 1 she Is called a poetess poe tesa 2 I 1 guess you tire are about seventeen A SL IL it was sweet of you to copy the sons for me dear thank you much dear miss brooks you tou have helped so many with your excellent advice I 1 want to ask you some questions 1 I 1 1 I had my hair cut last august and it has been coming out it seem to come out right after it was cut but it has been falling failing quite a lot ot lately sly MY hair was very thick before it was cut 2 when one has bag the hair on the back of the neck clipped has it D a tendency to make it grow down lower and stiffer on the neck I 1 will come to you again when I 1 am in trouble yours DAISY utah welcome daisy 1 very often the hair has a season of falling out did it never do this before it was cut I 1 would not advise using the vasel vaseline lne too often and do not shampoo more than every three weeks I 1 see no reason why the treatment you have been giving it should cause the hair to come out do not brush too vigorously as aa you may irritate the scalp massage th the a scalp gently with the linger finger tips a and nd see that it Is free from dandruff 2 clipping the hair does cause causa it to become coarse and stilt stiff yes and as the clippers are run down farther on the neck it causes the hair which would otherwise be unnoticed to grow in coarser and stiffer which makes it appear to be growing down farther on the neck miss brooks I 1 wrote to you once before and re answers is as I 1 read you corner each week I 1 do not lot find any of the girls earla having the same iame trouble that I 1 do I 1 wonder w why hy have gone eone with different boys in the last ast two years most of them were several years older than 1 I and I 1 find t hard ard to keep your advice not to so go with th a boy steady because when I 1 go eo with I 1 th a boy one night he usually wants me 10 to go eo again 1 I hate bate to refuse and so 10 it Is every time there Is anything to attend I 1 mind it if it would stop there but as soon as aa we get quite well acquainted they want me to pay pa Y more attention to them than to others ow dont think im popular because never chummed with the girls who can so 90 with one boy tonight and somo some one elso else tomorrow nor I 1 never felt that this was wag exactly proper I 1 mean I 1 never felt that I 1 wanted to go with just anyone that wished to pick me up besides I 1 could not do this and still go 90 with some who I 1 really feel eel are gentlemen they dont object to me having friends but insist upon them em being the kind hind that know how to treat a girl there does not seem beam to be very many of this kind ot of boys fit at least they don dont t want to take one girl and then another and I 1 dont ont feel that I 1 would gain anything by giving up these friends for another class do you and how can I 1 keep this class of boys from wanting to be more than lust just real good friends thanking you for the helpful advice I 1 am buro aura to I 1 receive I 1 am MICKIE miccie or ore it Is most regrettable mickle that you have gained the erroneous impression you seem to have gained from reading my advice to other girls I 1 do not knew know your age but you will notice that my advice along these lines has been mainly to the very young girl the one who insists upon going out with boys when as young as fifteen and even younger young er it Is not wise for ra girls irl a this age to check all boys from h her er list of friends or beaus except one but rather when other boys appear whose society she enjoys add him to her list of good friends and pals pala in this way the she can surround herself with a number of congenial friends londs fr w who ho feel free to call on her or invite her to a dance party or show if in the months or years to come there develops develop a feeling stronger than mere friendship for one ot of these or any one else it Is in then time enough to dwindle down to one steady boys should have the same privilege and I 1 do not understand your distinction of class of boys in this respect I 1 most certainly admire your class of friends friend and would assuredly not advise you to consider any young men who do not know how to treat a girl in a gentlemanly manner but why he need be loss A gentleman simply because le ha 14 spends one evening this week with you and one next week with your girl friend I 1 cannot see bee young look girls and boys are too prone to upon everyone who shows them the 0 slightest lightest attention as a possible lover over or sweetheart husband the or wife association together of young boys and la 13 girls in a compa companionable manner youths most enjoyable time because it Is a the it be b a time most of carefree period s so 0 1 let good times an association of frien friendly MY pals re serving reserving the sweetheart and I 1 lover 0 var husband thought tor for and wife not know more mor b mature years I 1 do how irom froin tuo you can keep those these boy wanting to bo be moro more th than friends n good be but it if you do not dot wash them hern to more than this you can n frankly toil tell the them believe so which is the b best est course 1 and now have I 1 been helpful in clearing these questions us up for you youl I 1 ho bwy hope pa NO mo and aad will b glad flad to bear hear from you again |
