M girl about nineteen would soon

she we're seen out with a differ
ent fellow every time.
A young girl Of nineteen has no busi-
ness being seriously in love with any
one-she's too young to settle down
and make up her mind" AMI how Is
| she ever going to make 1t up, pray tell.
IL she never meets more than one man?
And-tell Nc true and tell ne honest.
G. C.-don't you think that girl can
have a good time with a man, and give
him a good time, too. without being in
the least in love with him? Isn't there
any such thing as compsnionship or
friendship in your scheme of life?
Why. 1 have a dozen friends-men who
| would 90 half across the continent to do
me a serious favor. and / would make
great sacrifices to be Of real help to any
one of them-and not one of them ever
thought of such a thing as being in love
| with me for q minute.
Can't a man enjoy taking a pretty girl
to the theater without having her ex-
] pect him to be madly in love with her?
Why shouldn't girl have sonie half
dozen young men take her to the thea
! ter-if the young men want to ask her
| and why shouldn't a man invite any
girl he likes to go to the theater with
him, or anywhere else that Is respect
| able and interesting?
Get the engagement and marriage fad
out Of your head. G. c.. and get 1t out
quickly. It doesn't belong in a good,
sensible head like yours at all.
| When the right man finds the right
| girl there won't be any trouble about
! that time 1t Is not only perfectly right.
but perfectly sensible, for a girl to have
as many friends as she likes, so long as
| they are decent, self-respect.ng chaps
who respect her and who are-nothing
but friends.
Louise-Three months is. to be sure,
a short time. measured by material
things. to know a man. but sometimes
| you know a person better in three
days than in three years. So much
/ depends on the two people concerned
/ on the circumstances which bring them
together. II you have doubts about the
matter, why not prolong your engage
/ ment a few months? II your fiance
cares for you, he will be willing to
| wait kissing Is a perfectly natural
4 way of expressing affection and there
Ii surely no harm in allowing the man
you love and expect to marry to kiss
you: II he be man of spirit. he won't
| wait to be allowed
Stenographer-It Is dangerous to
| marry one man. no matter how much
you admire and respect him. when You
should certainly talk matters over
very frankly with the friend from home
when you see him: tell him how mat
ters stand between you and the other
man. And II you are not going to
marry him. break of with him en-
unfair for a man to pay woman such
devoted attention that the world takes
It for granted that they are engaged
unless he really cares for her and wants
to marry her.
Brown Eyes-Yes, ask for your pic
lures back. and II the break between
YOU and your fance Is final. II you no
longer care for him. put him as entirely
out Of your life as possible and devote
yourself to your other friends. You are
both foolish. though, to let silly
quarrel over nothing come between you
IL you really cared for each other. Think
II over carefully. maybe 1t can all be
patched up.
c. D.-Perhaps II is too strong to say
that one always knows when one is in
love" But isn't II generally so? Ger
tainly It is something that no one can
decide but yourself.
