a boy can go with girls a number Of
years. but at last some girl will come
along and he does not feel just at

The other girls he only enjoyed be-

last girl is always on his mind and
heart.

Can you answer that question,
reader friend? I'm afraid can't.
Nature Wants Him To.
I can tell him one thing. It's the
girl nature is pushing him towards.
Whether, for his best ultimate hap
piness, he should marry her or not,
