Q.-About six months ago
/ was keeping company with
an exceptionally nice girl.
For no reason | can think OF,
I grew tired of her and told
her l would not call any
more. She agreed 1t was
best. Now l realize what an
awful mistake l have made.
would like to renew the
friendship. But IL I thought
she would refuse, | would
rather not ask her. Do you
think a girl would care for a
fellow after he had done
what did? N. s. 9.
Alt Is impossible to venture
a guess as to the state of this
girls feelings, either when you
left her or now. But you fol.
lowed the direct, frank method
then, why not do so now? Instead
Of playing false and trying to get
rid of her when you thought you
were tired of her, you took thu
manly course and told her YOU
reason. So now tell her that yOl
find you were mistaken and ash
her to forgive you and allow you
to call.
You must have the courage o
your convictions. Even though
the girl has changed Ter mind
you will never regret having beel
honest with yourself and witt
her. Much OF the worlds unnap
piness is caused from no Othe
reason than the fact that peOpi
are afraid to face the truth.

Gus feelings down--that is, don't
betray any evidences Of them.
You give your husband a great
deal of power when you let him
see that you are jealous. He
probably enjoys rOusing your jeal-
ousy-it flatters his vanity. Try
this plan. Be just as attractive ~
you can i'm every way. both to
your husband and friends. Don't
deliberately set about to make
your husband jealous, but show
him that you, too, can attract 9TH
err people. You'll find less cause
