Advice to Girls
By ANNIE LAURIE.

Dear Annie Laurie,
Perhaps you could advise me what
to do. / have been going with
young man for nearly six years.
We are not engaged yet; but he
says there rs a good time coming
for me. Last month he came
back from the West and stayed for
a night and a day at my house, then
he went off some place else. He
seldom writes mo, yet he does not
want to break off altogether. He
wants to keep on, out he will not
say when he intends to marry me.
He thinks I'm going to marry some
one else. Now he has gone back
West
1 am very lonely. I know hardly
how to meet some nice young men
and women. 1 would like to have
some nice young man to go out
with, or some nice girl friend with
whom to go to church. l go to
church morning and evening, but 1
/ am q little lonesome. Please help

him and before you know II, you Will
find some one who really loves you

things he's there for.

YOU see. my dear. that your mother
realizes that you are drawn TO the
young man in question and that Is
why she does not want to have him
come to see you. While there rs no
