No, do not know what could
be the trouble. Go to her in a
plain, straightforward way, and
without fuSsing or seeming to be
too insistent, ask her if you have
done anything to offend her. You
may have unconsciously hurt her
feelings. Ask her to tell you
frankly what the trouble is.

I am a girl of nineteen. I am in
love with a boy of twenty-four years
We have been writing to each other
about three months. One of his
was well acquainted with her. She
,old me lots about him and said he
WAS q nice boy, and / believe he is.
Since he began writing to me, I have
seen him twice, and love him more
than any boy L ever saw. He says
wrote me in his last letter that if he
had his way it would not be as long
as it has been till we would be to-
gether all the time. Do you think he
meant it as a proposal? Is it proper
for a boy to offer his hand when you
go to cross creek when a narrow
poue is the walk, and must I hold
his hand while crossing? Is it all
right for, girl to call her, boy

and should a boy call a girl sweet
to her? When I am introduced to
any one and they tell me they are
glad to meet me what should I say?

A LONELY GIRY.
Perhaps you are not really in
own idea of him that You have
built UP in your mind from his
letters. I would think seriously
about this. I do not think you
could take what he wrote as
proposal of marriage. He should
state it more plainly than that.
It is all right for a boy to offer
his hand to assist a girl across
a narrow walk over the creek,
ter of course and say "Thank
you" All letters begin with
Dear" but 1t is not proper tc
call a boy "dear" throughout a
letter. and unless you are engag-
ed. you should not permit him to
call you sweetheart and other en-
dearing names. If nothing oc-
ours to you to say merely smile
and bow. You can wear all col
