MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE
TOLONELY GIRLS AT HOME

We are two girl chums coming
, you for advice. We are aged
ighteen and twenty-three.
We both work at the same place
nd have the same boss. The older
f us is in love with him very
luch, but is very doubtful of his
I'VE for me, for I think he really
1ves one of the other girls the
est. He is twenty years my Sc
ior and has never been married
], the younger, am in love with
ur bookkeeper. I think he is very
ond Of me also, for one day I met
i'm on the street and he winked at
le. Do you suppose he really loves
he? We are very anxious to know
that to do to win their love, for
re don't think we can ever live
o see them marry other girls.
BROWN-BLUE EYES.
ANSWER: Girls in a business
office should respect them
selves and their employers too
much to think of, or permit
love-making in the office. When
a girl accepts a business posi-
ton, she is supposed to render
conscientious, intelligent, bust
ness-like service, and no man
who respects the girl employed
by him will attempt to flirt
with, or make love to her dur
ing office hours. If you seek
to force his interest by for
ward methods, he will n0 only
not love you, he will not re-

worse than not being loved. I
think neither one of the men is
in love with 70 utwo girls. If
they were, they would seek
you out and make an effort to
see you at your homes in an
honorable and straightforward
manner, and If I were you,
would have too much pride to
accept anything less than such
respectful attentions.
ANSWER-If 1 had been in
your place, / would not have
stopped speaking to the boy
without first asking him why he
acted as he did. 1 believe in al
ways trying to find out what
causes a serious difference be-
tween two persons who love each
other or between friends, be-
cause there may be some reason
why the other persons feelings
are hurt that you know nothing
Of. Then, If things cannot be
Strengthened out by frank talk
together it is time to cease be-
ing friends. But even then I
would continue to speak courte-
ously whenever chance threw me
in the company of the boy. If
he offers no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of his conduct, 1
would, If were you, put him
entirely out of my heart and
treat him only as I did all my
other casual acquaintances.

HEART BROKEN.
ANSWER am sorry to say
this, but it seems evident from
what you tell me that the man
has found out that he does not
care as much for you as he
thought he did, and that he is
hesitating to tell you because
he does not want to hurt your
feelings. Perhaps may be mis-
taken, but it is better, If this be
true, that you should know the
truth at once and adjust your
life accordingly, because you
would never be happy with him
if he has ceased to love you,
even If he should go ahead and
marry you because of his pre-
vious understanding with you.
Just let him know that he need
not fear to tell the truth to you,
and if he Is man enough just
to state the situation clearly,
honor him by continuing to give
him your friendship and good
will. You can wear all colors.
