"Too Much in Love. 5"

DEAR MISS FAIRFAN:
Some time ago / net a young man
few years older than myself. When
we first met he came to see me about
three times a week. Then he told mo
he had accepted q position out Of town
and would only come into the city
every two weeks
Now, Miss Fairfax, l have been go
ing with this young man for SIX
months. The trouble is that l am
too much in love. At first lie would
tell ME iIe was gCinR t. remain
bachelor. Then I would tease him In
Z friendly way. He Is very proud OF
being friends with his sisters. who
are married. but, Of course. will
not meet them until am engaged,
and I do not know il I over will b.
have many otker boz friends,
but cannot get Iayself to become in
terested in them or to go out with
them. Please don't think this is a
trifling matter, as I am So changed
and sad over it. Can't you give me
an idea of what can say to him SO
as to bring him TO terms? 10.
1 am afraid there is inevitably
good deal OF suffering when enc
friend falls in love FIRST and Las to
wait for tho other to catch up. The
worst OF it is Chat there isHt ally
way Of accelerating the falling-in-love
process. And I an sure you will BE-
happier in the end II you allow the
young mans feeling for you To de
volop naturally and spontaneously. Iu-
stead Of trying TO rOrca II. /. does
take a good deal o. patience and self
control, out ! am sure you have these
qualities.
