Dear Miss Grey: | would
like your advice In regards
to a matter of my heart.
i am twenty years of age
and have had to work since
/ was fourteen years of age.
Am considered good looking
and a neat dresser. | take
great pains with my clothes
and try to dress up to date,
but not loud or immodest.
Several evenings ago
was returning home from a
days visit out of town, and
while waiting for a boat
noticed a young man, with
two middle-aged ladies. One
was his mother, l think, be-
because he resembled her. |
wanted to know this young
man. He is my ideal in some
ways Dark, tall and with
broad, powerful shoulders.
Dressed very nicely. no
ticed everything about him.
He seemd SO much a gentle
man. l watched him all the
time and wished so much
might meet him, he loked
clean and wholesome In
every way. do not have
the chance to meet such
young men, because | work
and they never seem to want
my company.
We got on the boat, l GO
ing up on the upper deck
and he and the ladies into
the cabin. was sitting
all alone thinking of him,
when he came up on the deck
and smoked, walking around
and around the boat. Final
ly my wish was answered.
He spoke to me. Said /
looked lonesome and might
he SIT and talk to me. Before
I knew what | was saying, 1
told him l would be glad to
have him.
He talked a long while. He
was very much of a gentle
man. Didn't say anything
improper or smart. He in
troduced himself and l told
him my name.
After awhile he left me,
but before leaving he said |
interested him and could he
see me again, or might he
call. said yes, and gave
him my telephone address.
| watched them get off
the boat and l walked along
behind them, and they got
into a big limousine and
rode away. ! saw the num-
Der of the car, and the
next mornig asked my broth
er, who works at a garage,
who the car belonged to.
That night he told me and it
was the same name this
young man gave me. That
night | could hardly sleep be-
cause | knew who he was.
He is the son of a very
wealthy and high-up family
here. knew when be found
out who I was he wouldn't
have anything to do with me.
| couldn't have him come
and see me because of my
home. l can't have anyone
come here to see me. Makes
IL awfully hard, too, Miss
Grey, not to be able to have
nice people come to your
home.
He telephoned me and
wanted to call. / told him
would meet him at a certain
drug store as l had to go
down town. / waited a few
minutes and his big car came
and stopped across the
street and he got out. Wait
ed a few minutes. and he
went into the drug store.
Then I met him.
l had the most enjoyable
time | have ever had. Even
ing went so quickly. He
treated me so fine. We
went to the theater and
then he took me home, be-
cause my home is in the
poorer part of town. I asked
him to come in and he said
no. Il was elven o'clock and
he must go, but he would
later.
I received a short note
from him later that week.
saying he had to go away on
business for six weeks, and
would be back for the auto
races here and would I go, as
he enjoyed my company.
Miss Grey, I am In love
with this young man and 1
don't want to have him
fmrn me- nnZn What uhnnTa
