Waiting.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
/ would like to ask your advice on
q matter that has caused me consid-
cradle worry lately.
! am q young girl aged II, and
have been corresponding with q SOL
der aged 20. whom I love very
much. ! have known him for about
10 months and we went together
quite bit, but It was not until after
he'd left that no told me he really
cared for me. though he always has
acted as though he did. In his last
letter he said he could get furlough
In case he got married, so tried to
persuade me to marry him, but l
refused, telling him was too young
and that my parents would not give
their consent, but told him I would
marry him after the war II we still
cared for each other.
He has never answered that letter,
which was written about month
ago, and am very worried. 1t Is
possible he may have started across,
/ don't know. but have q girl friend
who hasn't heard from her soldier
since ! heard from mine, and they
GA WIN 4A tAW 1Outc GcSINlCut
Should I consider myself engaged to
this soldier? And should ! keep on
writing to him or wait until I get an
answer to my letter? ANXIOUS.
You have been a very sensible girl
so FAR, and am sure you will con-
tinus to be one Keep on loving
and waiting FOR your soldier and
don't worry because you do not hear
from him. Very likely he has sailed
ths mails ars uncertain
and will continue to be so, no mat
ter how hard the government tries
to get the letters to the boys ana
nome again. II he really loves you
no will be willing to wait, and, OF
course, he will have to wait II he has
sailed. You are too young to marry
yet, and 80 10 he, but IL your love
lasts until the snd Of the war I am
sure your parents will them give
their consent.

She said he was very lonesome. She
