To Girls
By ANNIE LAURIE.

| Dear Miss Laurie:
| am n young girl of eighteen and
| have been going with a young man
! of my own age for about a year
| and a half. We went to school to-
| Sether and have always been good
! friends. He has a very peculiar
! disposition, and sometimes when
| he meets me on the street he
| speaks and sometimes he does not
About two weeks ago we had a
| MISUNDERSTANDING, and l treated
| him rather cool. He left, and has
not been hack since. l saw him
! the other evening. and he spoke to
| me. ] answered him and walked
| on. Yesterday he met my chum
| and talked as II he would like to
60 with me again.
Please tell me what TO do.
| ANXIOUS.

proud OF II, very likely. Farewell 10
peculiar people. as far as I'm con-
cerncd. thank you. IL 7 were a girl !
| should not want to marry q "pecu-
liar" man. I've seen too many ''pe-
culiar persons In Jail and in insane
asylums 10 have much interest in
them myself
Sometimes he speaks and sometimes
he does not when you meet him on
the street?
Well. he'd never have a chance to
speak to me after the hrst some
times when he looked straight at me
and didn't even nod. Where In the
world was the man brought up7
Hes the spoiled son Of some induI-
gent mother. I'll warrant.
And the spoiled son makes the
worst husband In the world. What on
earth do you want TO have anything
to do with the rude. ill-bred, selfish,
conceited creature for?
Dear Annie Laurie: We are two
sirlF who need your advice. We each
ha"A boy friend who is very nice and
respectful. When We go for a walk
with them. or go out. our girl friends
talk about US, and 1t makes us feel
quite hurt Is 1t because they are ieaI-
GUS? Or do you advise US to listen TO
The girls and stay away from the boys
TESS" AND "BEsG"
Dear Girls: II your girl friends make
you just because YOU go walking anc
play round with two nice boys they
must be particularly spiteful and dis
agreeable people. should paw abso-
try TO make friends with girls who
have something better to do. Surely
there Is no harm in your having friends
among the boys and going about with
them. 1t is a mistake for a young
g,r, to let one boy or man absorb
n n ttrfNA nd urfx hA NrfR-
preston that she Is engaged to him
unless that be really true-but don't let
any silly talk make You break UP your
friendship. A really strong friendship
and Is the source of much happiness.
Dear l.. Fl. Y:
II you only know a man "to speak
to-" IL YOU know nothing OF his true
nature, Of his character or OF his life.
do you think you can say you are in
love with him? Don't You think Il IL
taking a rather superficial view OF love
to think It can be the result OF an at
tractive exterior or a pleasant manner.
l should say. little girl, that you were
charmed by your young musician, even
with him. So, unless he shows some
signs of recognizing your existence. put

break your heart over a man because
he is good to look at, because he sings
or plays well. because he has a nice
smile, for any OF the hundred and one
little things that might charm or fas-
cinate you. For all you know he may
have a most disagreeable disposition. a
weak, untrustworthy character, habits
that would disgust you, or any OF the
hundred and one bad traits that would
quite eTectually prevent your really
loving him. l don't know that the
young man in question Is weak or un-
or disaEreeable, he may be
all that Is fine and worth while. but
what I mean is that you can't say that
you love him until you know he Is low
able.
