year and half. | love him dearly and
cannot forget him because we have
been friends for 50 long He has my
picture and | asked him to return il
twice, but he simply wrote back and
said he wanted to know the reason why
! L am breaking with him. He said we
have been friends for a long time and
he can't forget how good | have been
TO him. Do you think there is any
way for me to get my picture back?
90 L am breaking with him because
whenever | have gone with him he has
known some other girls and has left
me standing alone to go and talk to
them. l think when a young man
takes girl out he ought to see that
she enjoys the afternoon or evening.
Don't you?
90 While l was going with him he
dld not allow me TO go out with any
other fellow. But / told him | was

son to send it back Immediately. She
also told me that l have made trouble
between him and his girl that he has
gone with for two years. have asked
him if he goes with any ether girl. and,
he has always said 70. / simply do not
know what to think, because the day |
got the letter from his mother | got
a grand letter from him asking me to
answer it, but l am scared because |
think she opens all his mail, although
he is of age. Kindly advise me what
to do. LA VERN.

earnestly want your picture Say that
if he returns the picture you will re-
gard him as friend, which you can
not do unless he does as you ask

that you enjoy yourself, which he is
not doing when he goes off and leaves
you alone.
