FOLLOW YOUR HEART
Dear Miss Fairfax: +

Dear Miss Fairfax:
For month | have had atten-
ton paid to me by a gentleman
rs years of age who has me CON
fused whether or not l shall keep
company with him.
He is In love with me. Still,
care very little for him; but l am
deeply in love with a young gem
tleman nineteen years old, who
also loves me. He has a wonder
full future and is very wealthy
and, although young, has a very
mannish way about him.

Never keep company with one man
if YOU love another one more. That
is an injustice to three.
The man you love is too young tc
regard seriously. Go on loving him
If you heart so wills; but give him
a chance to grow up before you let
that love becomes an obligation
