about midnight. While with her ] gave her
one of my pictures, for which she had asked

He Met Another Girl

Two letters which | received this week
almost make me undecided. They do prove
to me that the problem of parting is real
problem that must be fought out separately
by each couple. One of the letters is from
Will r. 1t is as follows:
Dear Miss Libbey: l am in a difficult
position and come to you for solution of
my problem. My home is in a small town
in Indiana. Until two years ago l always
lived there. All through school l went with
a dear girl, Alice, whom l was very fond Of
/ took her to all of the dances and parties
given by our club. Before 1 came to Chi
cago | asked her to marry me, saying that
we would set the date when l felt able to
marry. L have done well in the city and
now have fine paying position. But about
eight months after coming here 1 met Mary
i. She is different from Alice as she
is a city girl, has always lived here, knows
city ways, and is stylish looking, though
that is not the only reason I like her. She
has been nice to me, inviting me to her home
to meet her folks. Hef brother is fine
fellow and are good friends | find sthat

Mary loves me- though l have not felt free
to offer her my love, but wish to do so.'
Poor little Alice Hers is a common
tragedy enough, though she does not know
1t as yet 1t is best for Will to tell her.

up later. | waited for him to call me lp
almost a week, but he did not do so. Then
| wrote him a real nice letter, explaining
everything, SO he just answered back that
he was real glad to hear from me and that
he was real busy that night, but would call
me up soon. Two days after the letter came
he called me up but never mentioned any
thing about date. Then the next night ne
called me up again and said he would leave
for the city, but said he would send me
wireless. | thought he left this place, as |
did not hear from him or see him for three
weeks, but my brother saw him some few
days ago, and the following day l received
card from him. Now, ON this card he
merely wrote guess But I'm positive it
is from him. as l have other cards and letters
with the same writing SO l am sure of that
Now, what would like to know is, should

( | would not answer the card Mary Ann,
until you have absolute proof that it was he
who sent it. 1 think he was most unreason-
able to expect you to wait beyond the ap-
pointed time. l am afraid his friendship will
not mean much happiness for you, anyway,
since he has so little regard for his word
Why not just try to put him right out OF
your mind and interest yourself in some
one more deserving of the friendship of

Should He FLnt Nth Her2

:" Dear Miss Libbey: Meeting young lady
on the street quite often and being greatly
infatuated with her, though never having been
introduced to her, would like to know If it
would be wrong if | should attempt to make
her acquaintance through Irritation? CT
1t would be wrong. And 1 sure the
girl if she is the right sort would never feel
at all kindly disposed toward you il you were
to attempt to speak to her without an intro
duction Have you not some common friend
that you could get to introduce you? That is
the only nice and honorable way of meeting
girls.

Sometimes Girl Forgets.

Sometimes Girl Forgets.
OF course Will must tell Alice the truth
1t will not be fair TO her nor to Mary, nor
even to himself If he does not. He is not
altogether to blame. He canot help it ii his
little country sweetheart no longer appeals
to him. He is just az proof that absence
does not make the heart grow fonder al
ways.
And yet the second letter seeks to prove
that there may be cases where the opposite
is proved to be true. 1t, too, is from man,
so you see it is not always the man who
forgets. Here it is

that she no longer loves me. She has been
living in New York and is in love with an

and that the love she once had for me has

see her several times, although could

Poor chap This time it is the man and
not the girl who has remained constant
through the years. He seems a splendid
fellow from his letter, but the girl in. New
York seems to believe otherwise Absence
has made his heart grow fonder, but to no
avail. There is nothing for him to do but
to hope that he will meet another girl who
will appreciate him and whom he can learn
to love.

No Word of Love as Yet.

Dear Miss Libbey: 1 have been keeping
company with a young man for some time.
That is, he takes me home from church every
Sunday night, and has taken me home from
several box suppers, but he has spoken no
word of love as yet. He is nice young man
and to give him his due / must say he has
kept his place. Now, what want to know is,
must l ask him what his intentions are?
I'm sort of backward about bringing up the
subject, but I'm hard working girl and
can't afford to let this chance go by. What
would be your advice? STELLA"
O, no, Stella, don't ask him what his in
tentions are or he would think you were a
very funny girl. You must not be impatient.
Perhaps he does not feel he knows you well
enough to talk of love. And, again, perhaps
he has not made up his mind that he does
love you. There is really no way you can
hurry declaration of love- Any attempts
you might make would only put you in very
unhappy light l am afraid.

other 21-both very sensible. OF course,
there is a crowd of other girls and boys ON
the pond, and naturally. I skate with boy
friends of my own age, as the other girls do.
My parents do not object to my skating if
would go afternoons. but do not like to have
me go out nights. They think 1 am too
young. l cannot understand why it is wrong,
since l go with these two girls, both having
good character, and are just like sisters to
me. Kindly tell me your opinion.

Ruth, you would better do what your par

to go to skating Kinks in the evening. There
is just as much pleasure to be gotten out of
skating in the afternoon. You will save

Nearest Is Dearest.

Time and distance have come between
hundreds of friendships and love affairs.
After all, it is the little everyday affairs
that bring US closer together. The man in
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-09-07

remain steadfast and true to lovers who are
miles away and whom they do not see. They
dream of their beloyeds by night and think
of them by day. Each memory becomes
dearer, each letter becomes more precious
the time when they will meet Seems a goal
to work and plan for. Each day seems more
lonesome and desolate. But in the majority
of cases this is not so. We are most inter
ested in the things that are happening to
us at the present time. The past grows
misty, the future seems indistinct and un-
real. Only the now is vital and real AMI
full of life. Letter writing, which at first
seems adequate, becomes more and more
difficult 1t is hard to write and describe
every new person whom one has met. 1t is

a city far from his home town, who tolls
all day and comes to his room at night to
gaze on the picture of his sweetheart and
to write her a letter, may remain true to
her. But he is quite likely to lose his heart
to the pretty girl whom he sees frequently,
the girl who works by his side or who SITS
across from him at the boarding house table.
The girl at home may be just as fair just
as sweet, just lovable, but it is the girl
who is near at hand, to whom he can go
with the troublesome affairs of the day, who
wins his heart. 1t is hard to stay in love
with memory and with person at dis
tance when, real, sympathetic person is
near at hand.
