Dear Mrs. ~Thompson-I am a girl of
IL and nave had a steady fellow for
two and a half years. ] am In love
with him and he tol me ne loves me.
but / wou not pretend to believe him
as boys are 81 tickle. ] sent him q
leap year valentine for a joke n
shortly after he asked me to marry
him. l laughed at him and did not give
him any answer. His folks think the
world of me, and want me to ask him
to call.
You see, one night he told me he
could not see me until Sunday as he
had to work Wednesday night. / said
IF you don't see me until then you
won't see me at ALL n he did not.
l met him twice since and he has a
girl, but still thinks the same OF me
He is going to join the navy but am
trying hard to get him not to. He
made a date with me and l 'stung'
him. hou ] tell him ! am sorry for
what 1 have done and ask him to call
on me- WINIFRED.
1T seems To me that you have e
rather unkind. A girl can't expect to
keep on hurting a mans feelings n
hold him loyal to her at the same time.

Speak to your husband and tell him

he would give to n lady. AS for the
boy-Don't scold him. Give clever an

at him when You can. When 1t is not
