Advice to the
LOve-LOrn
BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Is He Too Young?

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
would like to have advice from |
you. / am q girl Of % and l am
keeping company with boy Il
years Of age. IL
Some people told me that should |
not go with him, as he is younger, |
but can't let him go. love him
too much.
This same young man has gone
with a girl before he knew me. 'e
took her to a dance once and wh-n
they got there she spent the evening
with another man, and when the
time came to go home she came to
this man to take her home and he
told her that he wouldn't do it. But
she insisted upon his taking her
home, as he rought her there. Was
it right that he took her home? I
myself would think that he had no
right to take her home when she
spent the evening with another man.
Can q person wear mourning for
a soldier boy when he dies or is
| 1t must not be done when he lays
don't see why. am sure could not
stand it.
Can girl kiss a soldier goodby
when he leaves her and goes to
| France? ANXIOUS.
J There Is no reason why you may
not keep company" with the young
man, even though he is slightly
younger than you. If you are seri-
ously considering marrying him
should advise you to wait few
months, at least. You may not con-
! tinue to care for man two years
younger than yourself or he for you,
though there hav. been many cases
Of happy marriages between women
and younger men. Wait and be
sure.
If the young man took the girl to
the dance it was only right for him
to see her home. Her rudeness gave
him no right to be rude, also. He
should have taken her home and
then avoided her in the future.
There Is no reason why one can
not wear mourning for soldier, but
good taste and patriotism dictate
against It To my mind mourning
is always in bad taste, and especially
so when the beloved one has given
his life for his country. It seems to
me selfish to force our sorrows on
our friends in this manner. Such
sorrows are sacred and better kept
within the heart than displayed With
ostentation.
If you are engaged to the soldier,
certainly you may kiss him, but not
IL he is a mere friend or acquaint-
ance.
Writing to Engaged Man.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
have a very dear friend in the
service, who, however, Is engaged to
another girl. Would it be proper
for me to correspond with and re-
ceive gifts from him? DIMPLES.
Certainly not. How would you
like another girl writing to and re-
ceiving gifts from man to whom
you were engaged?
Let Him Go.
Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee:
am a girl 10 years Of age and have
been engaged to young man for
one and a half years. We were very
fond of each other and never had a
quarrel until this summer, when /
found out that he had been keeping
company with another young lady
on the sly.
A scandal also was started by the
neighbors, which seems to play a
prominent part in the breaking up,
and now the ones that started it deny
the fact that they ever had anything
to do with 1t.
He gave me diamond ring and
also a watch, but did not have the
nerve to ask me to return them, SO
please advise me what ! shall do.
He returned the presents by mail,
which I had given to him. He al
ways seemed to be Jealous of me
and wouldn't allow me to associate
with most anybody, although never
cared for anybody else at the time.
He was called in the last draft
and left for camp today, so I didn't
get the chance to ask him Why he
turned me down so Unexpectedly.
Please give me your advice.
HEARTBRoKEN.
