other men and when call her atten-

that that would be sufficient grounds

Rolling pins and black eyes prop

grounds for divorce. Are you sure

Seventeen. II
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:

ask you question. I am almost II,
and have been going with young
man of FL. I'm quite sure 1 T pve
him. as don't care for anyone e1se's
company any more. think Of him
continually from morning until night
and l am always happy when he is
around. He always says he loves
me and that he doesn't care to go
with anyone but me, and, therefore,
he wishes me to. do likewise. Is 1t
possible that you can possess true
love at the age of II? Is It wrong
to let this boy kiss me? l know he
means it in a good and true and

cause he is young. The middle-aged

morality" The reason is that at
middle age men and women should
have Judgment and balance. Most
of them have, but those few who
haven't are, as said, satiated sim
ners, because they sin with their eyes
open. Enjoy the friendship of your
boy friend with clean thoughts and
marry him some time in the future.
