Aunt Would Break Friendship

Dear Cynthia--I am young girl of
sixteen. All my life I have had boy
friends, but never beau. There is one
boy I like very well though. He Is two
years older and Is a sailor. We were
always very chummy when he was home
but now my aunt (my mother is dead)
will not let me write to him. He was
home a short time ago and he called me
up. but 1 am not allowed to have him
come to the house.
And 1 know he would not approve of
meeting me outside my home. Now
there is no reason for my aunts con-
duct as he is a nice, refined boy. My
mother, who died two years ago, liked
him very much. Please do not mlsunder-
stand me. l am not. 'lovesick," but this
Is just a friendship would like to keep.
At Christmas time he sent me navy
ring and, my aunt told me to send 1t
back but I did not. l kept it unknown
to her.
A LONESOME GIRL.
My dear. your aunt must have some
good reason for not wanting you to have
this boy for friend. Unless she OBJ
jects to your receiving others too. But
il she only discrirhinates against him,
you would do we'll to listen to her.
