Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

NO.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Last night I went out with a
girl friend and we met some boys
whom we knew. While going
along the street talking, two 9TH
er boys came along. Because we
had not had an introduction to
them we did not talk to them.
One asked me If l had lost my
tongue. Now where l came from
that is considered an awful in
suit l slapped him unintention-
ally and we walked away. Should
l apologize? WORRIED.
You were right in not speaking to
them without an introduction, but
did wrong in resenting a silly boys
sillier remark in such a way.
You did wrong, not to him, but to
yourself. You owe him no apology,
but you owe to yourself q resolution
to be more dignifed. You should
have paid no attention to him.
