Dear Mrs. Thompson: % | am a
girl of %. | have been going almost
year with a man who was engaged to
another girl in a distant city. AT first
/ did not know it, but he told me. We
kept on going together, but their en-
gagement was broken about three
weeks before l left his town. He goes
with no one else and so people are
blaming me for breaking them up
Did l do wrong TO go with him?
(2) We correspond and | return
again TO his town in a few weeks
Shall | continue to receive his atten
tions or accept attentions from some
body else?
CD / like him very much and he is
very good looking. Do you suppose he
will ever make up with the other girl
again?
"a l know several boys who want
me to go with them, and so in time 1
might get to liking them as well as
like him. l don't want him to treat
me the way he did the other girl. Do
you think he will?
SAFETY FIRST.
% You should not have gone with
the man when you learned that he
was engaged.
W NOW tnat MS engagement IS
broken it will be all right for you to
receive his attentions.
(3) l am not Delphic oracle and
so such questions are too much for
me to answer. Only time will tell
"a Since he was unfaithful to the
other girl you have no reason to think
that he will be faithful to you. 1t is
not necessary to settle down to one
boy, you know. Why don't you go with
other boys, too, if they are desirable
and you like them?

Connecticut suffers little from the
charging of usurious rates of inter
est. for the reason that it has laws
devised to prevent that offense.
other states. however, are not so
fortunate and the comptroller Of the
currency has been campaigning long
and hard against usurious practices
by national banks.
Some banks, he reports have
charged as high as 200 per cent in
terest on loans and even in New
York. the money center of the nation
rates as high as u per cent were
charged at the outbreak of the Euro
pean war.
The comptroller seeks laws where
by he may prevent such wrongful
practices which he declares will have
material and evil effect on the
country 1t may be that the comp
troller has painted the language in
too high color in order that he may
call attention TO the evil in more
striking fashion, but such an evil as
he describes is truly a serious men
ace 10 prosperity. No one has any
objection TO allowing those who loan
money TO get a reasonable and just
return upon il. but when practices
are resorted 20 which are not great
ly different from highway robbery.

test and protest effectively.
