Girls
By ANNIE LAURIE.

Dear Annie Laurie:
l have been going with a young man
for nearly six years. He Is good 10
me. and does all he can TO please me,
and he never bothers with any other
girls. But sometimes when he comes 10
see me he seems awfully distant and
quiet. / wonder II he wants to visit
me. But when l say that to him he
gets hurt. KATY.
ES ell right. but you dom. un-
~ derstand him. is that 1t? Well,
put yourself in his place little
while and see II you can't solve
the mystery.
Perhaps he's so much in love with you
that he's afraid OF himself, and that
makes him seem strange and i'll at ease
Such things have been known to happen
Perhaps he is just tired when he acts
peculiar. and maybe he is simply a
Cuiet fellow who doesn't talk and
doesn't know how 20 talk. In that case
you'll have TO make up your mind TO do
the talking for the family.
Why do you say anything to him about
IL? Il he didn't like you he wouIdn' [
come to see you. II he is n nice chap
who seems to want to please you. and
you want TO be pleased by him, don't
make a mystery out of what is doubt
less 4 very simple matter. Take him as
he is-for what he is-and don't bother.
That's my advice.
vulgar, dangerous and Just generally
nasty Don't, don't get into the kissing
habit. II takes all the beauty away
from a sacred thing and cheapens a
girl in the eyes of the world more than
almost anything she can do.
Lonesome-It isn't the girls place to
do the winning. and besides what would
you do with several boys hearts If you
did not wish them? Put such silly
notions out OF your head. Be friends
with the boys in the village, have as
much fun with them as you can, but
remember that a mans heart is serI-
Gus responsibility, and that you have
no right to try and win il unless YOU
mean TO keep II always and give yours
in return. Some day a man will give
his into your keeping without your try
Ing in the least but there is time
enough for that.
F.. V. C.-No love that is the result
OF willing of making UP his mind"
to il, is love at all. II a man talks
that way he doesn't know what he Is
talking about and / wouldn't take him
you are I'm love with him. or think YOU
are. and make him stop discussing tho
subject until he really feels there is
something worth discussion.
H. Mt is only courteous for a
girl TO speak to the men who are en-
ployed about her place OF business
but that does not mean she need make
friends with them or go places with
them. II I were you, | would not ac-
cept invitations from the young man
you mention unless you can find out
something about him. II some respon-
sible person can tell you that he is
the right sort OF chap for a nice girl
to play round with. why go ahead
and have good time. Does he mean
by smiling at you? He prob
ably means that he thinks you are
and would like to be
friends, which is all very well. IL he IS
a nice fellow. but do find out about
him before you let him do more than
smile.
