man from declaring his love.
Surely he has gone as far as
he can go without saying the actual
words. II the young man did not
care for you he would hardly have
spent so much time with you during
the past three years, nor would he
object to your having other men

ing TO take you so many places.
He may be one of those to whom
a declaration of love means pro-

don't think he ought to tell you that
he loves you unless he is able to
