TWO STRINGS TO HIS BOW.

Miss K writes: ct am a. girl of 10.
I have been keeping company with a.
young man two years older whose IA
ther objects to me- He lives in a,
nearby town. He always tells me he
loves no one better than me- I hear,
however, that he keeps company with
another girl too. Please tell me what
to do
No girl of spirit will consent to play
second fiddle in a love affair. Tell him
to choose between you and the other
girl. If you put off doing this you
may regret it later-after you have
wasted a year or 50 longer with him
building your hopes on n1arryingl him
only to receive an invitation-to his
wedding with the other girl.
