ceptionaily good fellow. JEAN.
! have known quite . few people
who have been engaged and had
never received ring. One woman
she H.. too.declined IN engagement
afforded a hundred rings had shs
wanted them. She said . diamond
ring always seemed to her to sleam
eryone in sight. She also said her
wedding ring was much more sacred
TO her because 1t was the first ring

sire otherwise. just try to adopt my
friends philosophy and think Of
yourself as being a little different
from others. A ring may make
things more interesting. but II your

boil Is unnecessary.
Dear Annie Laur!e-l have been
going with young man eisAe
teen years old. am twenty.
dearly love him. and ne says he
loves me. but though he goes out
with other girls. he never takes
me anywhere. I haven't been
out with him more than three
times in two years.
Last week another young man
came to see me. He has been at
been out with me once. The FIRST
one has found 1t out and Is very
angry with me.
Should still continue going
with the new man or write the
first a letter and explain.
WORRIED.
! don't see why the first man
should te angry when your new
friend has only done what was
courteous. II the other cares 80 lit
tie for you that he hasn't bothered
should not blame you " YOU seek
a new friend. You have dallied
with him long enough, and don't
think his affection could be reallv
sincere, or he would not be payine
80 much attention to the other Eirls'
Personally I consider 1t very nice
for boy or man TO have a number
led one girl to believe that she Is
the person he cares for most and
then does nothing to prove 1t, the
case is different.
Write this to your friend. II NAV
give him new sensation.
Dear Annie Laurie: I am a
young girl nearly fourteen years
OF axe, and have learned to love
at first sight a young boy who Is
nearly fifteen years old. I have
not yet had a very good ac-
ouaintance with him. Hc seems
TO me to be very nice and folly
boy. but some Of my friends say
he Is rather Wild. have a broth
er who used TO go with him. but
he does not SEQ him very often.
How, can know him better?
My friends say that he likes me,
but somehow ! cant believe II.
