Advice to the Lovelorn
you CARE TOO MUCH.
By Beatrice Fairfax

Dear Miss Fairfax:
| am young girl, seventeen
years of age, am considered pretty,
but when | go to dances or parties
never seem to have a nice time
like the other girls. The young
men always seem so cool to me. |
never did anything to any one, and
their GOODNESS to me hurts my feel
ings very much. MARIE.
Your feelings are hurt because of
their indifference to you? Do you know,
my dear If you didn't care if they
looked at you or not they would look
all the sooner and longer? Nothing
interests a man more than pretty girl
who looks right over his head. He
makes up his mind he will make her
look at him; he will compel her to rec
ognize his existence, and the greater
her indifference the greater his efforts.
Don't care for the men-at least, don't
show that you do.
