Advice to the LOveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Answer His Letter
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear MISS FAIRFAX:
Until the war a young lieutenant
of certain regiment had been call
ing on me for about year. I did
not know he had gone away until
one day I got a letter from him
stating he was down South camp
ing, and that he was so awfully busy
that he would not be able to write
so often. Every now and then 1
have received letter from him, but
he has never mentioned his sudden
departure.
1 have heard he has been home
on furlough, but have neither seen
nor heard from him.
Again I receievd a letter from
him Qast week from camp, and
he does not say he has had fur
Tough or why he did not call on me
while home.
Now what I would like to know
is-should L answer this young
mans letter? ]. D.
OF course, if your young lieuten-
ant were seriously interested in you
he would, when home on furlough,
want to see you. The fact that he
has been a regular caller at your
home, and is writing to you doesn't
necessarily indicate that he is SER
iously interested in you. So after
all you have nothing to be offended
about! With a clear understanding
in your mind that he is simply n
friend who enjoys hearing from you
now and then, and that you are not
in any way necessary to his happi-
ness, go ahead and answer his let
ter, only don't deceive Yourself into
imagining you mean more to him
than you actually do mean. Girls
make their own unhappiness very
often by trying to exalt friendly
acquaintance with a man into a
love affair and then by resenting the
fact that the man doesn't play up to
the part assigned him.

on shipments Of cauliflower, according
to some of the shippers, have been
heavy. Many cars have arrived with
the top crates moldy and the bottom
ones crushed Because of heavy ship

be unloaded Immediately, good stock
has been dumped on the market with
that which arrived in bad condition,
