ADVICE TO GIRLS

My Dear Miss Laurie: AS
neither Of my parents take any
interest in me. I have decided to
ask you for little advice. I am
almost nineteen years of age.
About six months ago I opened
correspondence with very popular
man in another city. His letters
are very interesting, and l enjoy
them more than anything else,
butt have never seen the man
except by photograph. However.
he has asked me to marry him

him or not. Do you think I do?

as all that. Tiney Marie.
~ There are lots of things in the

and ! see very little reason for you
to be so unhappy. First Of all.
about that girl friend Think what
you have been missing since you
gave each other up-all the delight

that every girl of nineteen adores. |
shouldn't wonder at all IL the friend
wasn't feeling just about the same
way. too. Why don't you write her

may not be quite so peevish.
Personally. think It's rather risky
engaging ones self to a man known
only by correspondence. If he is
really very ardent. l believe he could
arrange his work so that he might
come to this city to see you. Photo
graphs and letters aren't nearly as
convincing as Ave minutes Of earnest
conversation with the original.
My Dear Miss Laurie-For
more than four years l have
wanted to go on the stage. AL
