Blue Eyes. Her description Of herself
is the perfect description of the girl
that think I could love. Would it be
| possible or practicable for me to write
| to her. Could you give me her ad-
dress. l have always been fond of
girls that are interested in good dressy
clothes and that show taste.
WATCHFUL WAITING.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am lonely
bachelor 2S years of age. When l was
81 / fell desperately in love with a
beautiful girl two years my senior.
She seemed to love me, too, and we
became engaged.
| She remained engaged to me for six
months and during that time work ID
just as hard as / had strength so that
I could save money to make it possible
| for us to marry. l gave her all my
thought and love, and then one night
| asked to see her and she said
might come, but she had something
important to tell me. She had that
very day married another man. I had
not been able to see her every even
ing because l often worked overtime
and until late at night. During the
time l was working she was going
with the other man and she did not
even tell me. 1t seemed to me that the
I. Il.-'%
think because my thoughts were just
black and desperate and l seemed to
have a physical suffering around my
heart. l did not get over my suffering
for years, and even now it hasn't en-
tirely left me. / resolved at the time
that would stay true to her and never
marry in spite of the way she had
| treated me.
1 have gone with girls, but 1 have
known all the time l would never
marry them. My great difficulty is
in finding a girl who will be a friend
and not fall in love. They all fall in
love and then I cause them to be I'M
happy. I do not say this with con-
ceit 1t Is absolutely true. Have !
any right to go with girls under the
circumstances? BOB.
Boise, Ida.
My Dear boy. you are carrying your
! loyalty too far. 1t Is a great mistake
to cling to the past as you are doing
Forget the girl. She was not meant
for you or you would have been given
her love.
If you have an open heart and mind
you will learn to love some one else
even more deeply than you did the girl
who betrayed your love. You are only
bringing unhappiness to yourself feel
ing as you do now. There Is no hap
plness like that of having your own
family-a woman you can call your
| own and children.
You have right to go with girls
once in a while. but you have not a
right to take much Of one girls time
and to encourage her in any way ia
think that your attitude toward her
may change to that of love. You are
making others suffer the same des-
perate blackness that you have suf-
/ fered.
