What you'd you advise me to do?
Surely the young man believes you
innocert and has more trust in you
than in the other girl. If you let

young young man will soon find out
that sh- is not telling the truth.
am in love with two men. One
is a bachelor of forty and the other
is a soldier of twenty-seven. [ care
for thS bachelor and know he would
be good to me, he is so kind and ten
der-hearted. I have been going with
him Of and on for five years He
says he loves me and has proved his
love several times, but l don't think
could ever be happy with him. The
soldier also seems to love me very
much and [ love him better than
aavonv I have ever seen. I have
onIv see MIN once but haze CORE
srcnded with him for over a year.
My parents are willing for me to
marry either one. | am eighteen
years old, and think I could be hap
DIV with the soldier. What do you
think about it?
it's a long stretch of years between
eignteel and forty, and I do not
think it is wise to marry when there
Is such a great difference in years.
But If you really love the bachelor,
| would adv Sc you, to go ahead and
marry him. However, you say you
are not sure. My advice is to mar
ry the man you love best. If you
have seen the soldier only once, you
Carrot be sule that you love him.
Ioa until
50 that you can get really acquaint-
ell with him. Then you can be sure
that you really care as much for MIN
as you think you do.
l have been engaged to young
man for two years. I have not seen
MIN for year but he writes often
ana tells me he loves me more than
any other girl, and wants me to
marry him. There is another BOY
whom 1 like and he says he loves
me. Should 1 keep company with
him?
If you are engaged to the first
5'cung man, you should not keep
company" with the other one.
L have been writing to a fellow
for nearly a year. He is in camp
now. 1 get letters from him all the
time. He used to write five or six
pages, and the last few L got lie
just wrote two pages. He is COM
ing home in a few weeks. L thought
maybe he wanted to cease writing,
because my father did not approve
of him. He has always treated me
we'll, and [ care for him and Think
he cares for me.

Since your father objects to the
man enough to refuse him the pr1V1-
lege of his coming to your house, L
thing this should settle your affair
with the young man. You should
abide by the advice of your parents
until you are older. Your father
writes, much shorter letters than
formerly is due to two things. He is
either too busy to write as much or
he is not interested enough to write
longer ones. Whichever is the cause
you will be wise to write seldom
and briefly. Remember that man
likes to make the advances with a
girl. To throw yourself at him with
long letters and to write too often
would convey to him the idea that
you were very interested in him
which is one Of the easiest ways /
know of making man lose interest
in you.
1 have been going with a young
man for a short time, but it is very
difficult to entertain him at my
home, because my brother dislikes
him and refuses to recognize him. or
to accept an introduction. There is
no particular reason for his dis
like. Should I explain matters to
him, or let him discover for him
self?
1t seems to me that, in justice to
the young man whom your brother
so dislikes, it would be best to ex-
plain the entire matter to him.
Otherwise, it would doubtless be
quite a shock to have a scene with
your brother for no apparent rea-
son, and it might seriously impair
his friendship for you. First, how
ever, I should advise you to. have a
if possible, make him give you the
reason why he dislikes the man. If
he has any cause for this attitude,
it would be only fair to explain it
to you.
