In your case, where the visits are

Leading you a merry chase,
isn't she? The little mink is

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am girl not quite seventeen
and have been going with a boy
several years older than myself.
l have known him about two years.
For long time we were just the
pest Of pals until recently we seemed
to become more to each other. l
am very fond of him and quite anx-
ious that he care for me. Some
times l think he does and some
times not. Recently another boy
friend of mine walked home from
the movies with my girl friend and
myself. l told the other boy about
this and he became angry at a re-
mark l made but would give me no
chance to explain that l spoke with
out thinking. He still seems angry
and reminds me of my hasty speech
constantly. He hasn't made an en-
gagement with me for several
weeks and seldom calls. Don't you
think he owes me an explanation
when he used to come several
nights a week?
1t is only since this other boy has
appeared on the scene that he has
acted this way. What can i do to
make him be the same again and to
make him care? BLUE EYES.
Your young man seems to have
in him the making of a very
good young tyrant. Isn't he tax
ing something of a dog in the
manger attitude toward you,
objecting to the other boy and
still not calling himself? I'd let
him do the worrying if l were
you. He will if he sees that he
isn't worrying you. You're too
young to start being a door mat
for any man.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

churches, I became attracted by a
young lady sitting in the same pew.

fore services were over, and. by fault
of her purse opening, her card case
dropped out. which found and later
on one Of the cards. 1 did so, but
mentioned no name. I have found out
since that she is married and has a
young child. l. myself. am a officer
OF the navy, commissioned from An
napolis. but find ] can do nothing but
thing of this young lady. have
sneaked looks at her from the opposite
side OF the street. ] know she Is un-
people from around her neighborhood-
/ have fought back this feeling with
all my power and now consider my
self a coward; Kindly adviss me
what to do as this young lady doesn't
even know me, but I would love to
only know that she Is happy.
A DOWN HEARTED COWARD.
Apparently you don't know
when you are we'll off. Why un-
der the sun, now that you have
found out the lady is married and
a mother, should you pursue her
even with your thoughts? The
silliest thing in the world is to be-
lieve idle, neighborhood gossip.
Just put yourself in the husbands s
shoes and then / think you'll de-

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

Here is a problem that has been
worrying me for about year. i am
nineteen years OF age and In love
with q nice girl of the same age.
We have been knowing each other
for fve years or more. but we have
never gone out together ~ yet because
/ cannot get UP courage enough to AK
her. ] certainly do love this girl but
you see / cannot get the nerve to tell
her So Won't you please tell me how
/ can let her. know without openly
saying so. BASHFUL.
Th7r'e's only one way I know
of 10 do a thing and that is-DO
1T. Get busy and take the girl
to the movies. She'll probably
drop dead from surprise, but that's
a risk you'll have to take after
waiting this long. Brace right up
to the front door with a box Of
chocolates in your hand. Like
going into cold water, the first
plunge is the worst. After that,
it's easy!
