Marry the Man You Love

Dear Miss Libbey:
 Have been an interesting reader of your articles and now come to you for advice. I am young girl, eighteen years of age, and up to nine months ago kept company with a young man a few months my senior. After hav- ing a quarrel he enlisted in the navy. During the time he has been away a life long chum of his has been calling on me and now I am between two fires. know the lad in the navy cares for me and will marry me when his term of enlistment expires which will be about three years; while his cht1n would marry me in year [ dearly love this lad, but did not real ize it until he had enlisted. While the other do not care so much about. Which do you advice me to do-win back the other lads love or go with his chum?
 Marry the man you love. It would be neither wise nor or unkind to the chum, knowing that another had first place in your heart.
