me how much he loved me and made
me promise that ] would wait for him
He said If didn't make that promise
there wouldn't be anything worth
while in life for him. so I told him I
loved him only and would wait, no
matter how long.
All the time he has never mentioned
marriage, but in his letters he always
says that We will be together and
that no one can ever separate us.
! am very fond OF him, but / am
not so sure of loving him. I would
like any advice you can give me-
would like to let him know about
this. but do you think II Is too late? ?
Or should wait until he comes back
Perhaps I could love him in time I
could write him letter every hour
in the day. think of him a good
deal. but ! am in doubt about loving
him. DORIS
Since you are so much in doubt,
you had better wait until the boy re-
turns from France before telling him
that you do not love him and con-
slider him merely as friend. He
means marriage or he would not talk

girls as wrappers. Their employment
in such work was an experiment at
