Thanking you in advance, I am respectfully, re-spectfully, TB0UBLED BRUNETTE. m Mv dear, do not waste your affections af-fections on a boy who prefers another anoth-er girl's society. Boys, or girls either eith-er rarely form lasting affection at the age of sixteen, and your friend .doubtless, .doubt-less, wishes to be friends with more than one girl before he settles down to just one, and I think it much the better way don't you? You should e y the friendship and society of more than one boy, and not be too fond of any one, at the age of sixteen. (3) Boys like girls who are a little independent and who do not show their affection too plainly. The girl who is modest and sincere, quiet and unassuming, unas-suming, will make many more lasting friendships than the girl who grows too fond of every boy she meets and shows it too plainly. The flapper is a passing fancy, and her popularity is fleeting. Do not, 1 entreat j, gine you have to become, or even imitate a flapper to be popular Better Bet-ter far be in a class by yourself. And know this, the whole world has not gone permanently mad over the bizarre biz-arre in style, but that there are those (boys and men included) who appreciate appreci-ate the sensible, sane acting and dress-in" dress-in" girl. (4) A crowd of boys and girls should not go any place without some older person who can act as chaperon. Dear Miss Brooks: I have been a very interested reader read-er of your corner for some time, but I could not get up enough courage to write you about a question that has been bothering me for some time, and I am in hopes you will be able to answer an-swer it for me. I got acquainted with a boy over a year ago.. He seemed to like me very much, and hen he asked me to marry, him. But I don't know whether I should or not. He is 30 years old, and I am only 18. I think lots of him one time, and then again I don't care so much for him. I told him I could not marry for two years- He said he could wait ten years for me, or longer if need be. My , parents think very highly of him. He is an exception to most boys these days. He works almost all of the time, and he can always get a job when he needs one. He also said there was nothing too food for me. But I don't seem to like him for some reason. He is a little old-fashioned but he is as firm as the Rock of Gi-bralter. Gi-bralter. He has white hair and mine is not any too dark. So what shall we do about it? I don't know what in the world to do- So I will try and get it from my mind until I get an answer from you. Hoping you have the best of luck, I am, SYLVIA, St. George, Utah. P. S. I don't like his white hair. And he is not very well educated and I have always had the desire for a well educated husband. He has a fine nature and has lots of mother wit. When he writes me he always writes in pencil instead of pen and ink. How can I give him a hint without hurting his feelings? Well, my dear, you do seem to have a problem. They say love is blind, but I doubt it, don't you? You are a wise little girl to put off the fatal day two years. You should be able to tell in that time whether or not his peculiarities, looks, habits, etc., have become so obnoxious that thev will be a source of irritation to you always. He seoms like an exceptional man,' though (we need more old-fashioned! people, it seems to me) and so why! not keep his many good points as much in mind as possible, and forget j the things which are not quite so at-! tractive about him? We all have our! bad points, you know. The question of! his light hair is father a hard one to manage as I cannot see how it can! be changed, and after all what is the; difference? Too much college educa-! tion sometimes spoils an otherwise wonderful man. One can cultivate wavs and habits which place thorn well up in the scale of what the world considers a cultivated, well-bred person. per-son. Let this be the subjoct of conversation con-versation and let him know in a tactful tact-ful way what your ideas are along this line and this would apply also to the pen and ink problem. But remember, dear, we are never able to have any one made according to our own pattern pat-tern (and I wonder if we would like them if we could) so we must always be able to bear and forbear. I am wishing you the best of luck and great happiness. Dear Miss Brooks: This is the second time I have written to you but I do hope I am not too much bother. Will you please publish the words of the sons rK n tied "When You're Gone I Won't r -get You?" "ontFor. Thanking you in advance, I rtm;.

' Dear Miss Brooks: You have helped many girls with their Bee Hive work, perhaps you can help me. Would you please tell me about the -Blue Violet? Thank you for the trouble I have caused you. A BEE HIVE GIRL, Burley, Idaho. The botanical name for the common blue Violet is Cucullate. The Violet t stands for constancy and modesty. Ai the chosen emblem of Napokonisn,, , it has served many a sadly practical i purpose, and it has been the tbrae of the poet from the earliest time. As Viola, it was known to the i.ncient i Romans, and the great Linnaeus adopted the name as the language of j uMence. In those early times, when j poetry and nature were blended to j closely together, the V:olet was received re-ceived as especially the emblem o! constancy. It has been found will from Arctic America to the Guli of Mexico, westward in the Rocky Mont- . : tains, and across the Sierra Nevada!, . I almost to the Pacific coast It grow -: in deep, shady woods, as well as ii ' i the most exposed places, but general-I general-I ly where thf. soil is a little damp. Glad to serve you, I am sure. : |
