A Misunderstanding

Dear Deborah Rush.-Please aid me in my
little trouble. l have had little misun-
derstanding with friend of mine. have
learned through other girls that a young
man was talking about me, but 1 don't
think II is the truth.
Some one sent him letter telling him
what he had said and another letter in
closed to which my name was signed, and
1 did not write 1t at all. The young man
has stopped speaking to me and looks at
me with terrible expression. Another
friend of mine wrote to him, telling him
did not send it, but that did not encourage
him any. Kindly advise me what to do.
Tell me If l should speak first or he. as he
knows ] am innocent. Please tell me If a
young man cares for me If he asks me to
go out five or six times. Thanking you
for your kindness and trusting to hear
from you through your column tomorrow
evening or in the near future. NJ. r.
Your letter is answered in the first para.

GOOD FORM

Good form queries should be dd-
dressed to Deborah Rush, t0Tttten on
one side Of the paper and signed fofth
full name and address, though Initials
ONLY toiN be Published upon request.
yTIHE letter signed M. r. shows us the
Il unfortunate complications which arise
from tale.bearlng and dlshonorable ac-
tions, for the writing of letter and
signing the same with a name which Is
not ones own, especially with the inten-
tion Of deceiving the recipient OF the let
ter, Is not only dishonorable but criminal,
IS that sort Of thing is plain forgery. In
answering the letter, would say l think
you have listened too much to gossip and
idle talk. Why let others write eNplana-
tions for you. l should advise you to
drop the whole thing and, above all, not
discuss this evidently very ungentlemanly
person with any of these so-called friends
People who run from one to another
with tales making mischief are not to be
trusted.
IT, on the other hand, the young man
in question is perhaps hurt by false
stories having been carried to him,
If you have really been good friends 1
would write him little note, saying that
there is evidently some misunderstanding
which has been brought about by gossip
and untruths, and you would be glad If
he would give you an opportunity to
straighten the matter out by talking with
you about it. DO not get any one else
to write or see him; do It yourself. Some
times with the best. intentions in the
world persons who try to fix up misur-
derstandngs between others make mat
ters worse If the young man pays no
attention to your letter, he is not worth
worrying about.
A man asking you to go out with him
five or six times cannot be said to be in
love with you Il think this is what you
mean by your question:; he probably likes
rather than dislikes you, but l would
not thing very much of it.
1t is a mistake to let your imagination
and appreciation of a casual politeness on
the part of man put sentimental mean
ings into his actions If girls only knew
how often they lose very good friend
by being always on the lookout for a lover
they would perhaps pause before trying
to see love in every ordinary saying.
