In the last year have been thrown
with a man in his early 30's We are
employed at the same place I have
fought loving him for months. bBt the
other day he told me that he loved me
and I decided 7 was going to love MIN
in spite Of everything.
The man I am engaged to has been
able to marry me for at least two
years, but he has kept putting off his
wedding day and I know he viii do
so indefinitely, because he is afraid 60

think I can honorably break my en-
gagement with him and marry the
man I love? ENGAGED
Tell the one you are engaged to that
