Here comes a girl of sixteen for
advice. II am in love with boy who
IS nineteen. l love him dearly. He
IS very nice to me-and he is a good
boy; he doesn't use bad language,
or drink. He asked me to kiss him,
and 1 wouldn't. 1 told him that
didn't kiss boys. Do you think
did right? Please give me good adj
vice, for l have no mother. I feel
as if 1 could never be happy without
this boy.
TROUBLED SIXTEEN.
Answer: You were quite right
to refuse to kiss the boy and it
is a rule that you should always
follow-until you meet the man
you really love. Then you will
be very glad that you did refuse.
You are too young to be really
in love-be content to just wait.
l am seventeen, and am going with
a boy of twenty. He says he loves
me dearly but does not come oftener
than every two or three weeks. AL
though I'm not very fond of him,
he is awfully nice. He has asked
me to marry him, but I would not
like to do so, for I do not love him
we'll enough. My father and mother
are very anxious for me to marry
this boy. Do you think we are old
enough to marry?
Answer. 1 would not let any
body persuade me to marry
man whom 1 did not love.
on, 10r,oJI, ri Of ri t1y,an-
ty-one, and have been in love with
q boy about my own age, for about
six years. / care nothing for any
other boy, and he said he cared
nothing for any other girl but me.
But he is corresponding with my
second cousin, and neglects me
sometimes for her. + don't give him
any cause to neglect me. What do
you think of this? Isn't it any
harm, even though we are not en-
gagged? Have 1 the right to quar-
rel about it? 1 really can't help
it, as I can never love any one else,
He is my Hearts Desire" When
my cousin and 1 are together, he
will leave me and go with her, leav-
ing me to come with someone else.
But then, If I come home with any
one else, he gets mad, and says that
L ought to come home by myself,
when he doesn't come for me. Is
that right? I think he ought to
allow me the same privilege, don't
you? I am thinking of dropping
him for another boy. don't love this
other boy but he says that he loves
me better than this first boy. What
must / do?
KIDDIE.
Answer: Don't you think that
you have just become accus-
toned to going with the
boy and that you just imagine
yourself in love with him? AS
you are not engaged to him, you
have no right to forbid his go
ing with, or writing to, other
girls; but this rule works both
ways.
