that In public at least he would defend
her cause. To have Scott side with his
mother and sister even In so small a
thing was humiliatinE.
And then that next day Alice had done
everything In her power to Impress

My dear young man, how in the

whom you have never been out, but
with whom you correspond, although you
live next door to her? Why do you

her you should call on her every eve

stand with the young lady, and II she

a most unreasonable arrangement. And

yourself. Above all things, be definite.

Break With Him

about continuing the friendship. Do you
dearly. q g.
I often wonder. my dear, why you
girls get yourselves into such mix-ups
over these affairs. If a man is not
straightforward enough to propose mar
riage after telling you he loves you (even
though you might have to wait for some
time to marry, for financial or other rea-
sons) it is always wiser not to keep up
the friendship. Once it takes the turn
Of lovemaking with no promise to marry
1t Is time TO stop 1t then and there.
Especially In this case I would advise
the breaking of this friendship.
