HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEM

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am a girl j,
eighteen years old and have no mother. |
] have a boy friend who has been in
France and while he was In camp
here and in France he always wrote
me nice letters. He wrote that l was
the only girl he cared for and he told
me he would always be true to me and
love me forever
He has returned home and has been
here nearly three weeks. Since he
has been home he has only written
once. If | see him In town he takes
me to the show and that is the only
time he takes me. / don't like the
idea of meeting him uptown, but it
seems as If | always run into him and
he always asks me to go with him.
! am in the country just now, and
since have been here he hasn't called
on me. have corresonded with him
over two years. He always says that
he Is coming out to see me, but he
always makes the excuse that he could
own nor a horse and buggy. Do you
think that is the reason? A. NJ. B.
/ believe the boy likes you as much
as ever. The fact that he has just re-
turned from France excuses him for
a great deal. He has so many people
to see and so much to talk about that
he considers his visits downtown with
you sufficient for the time being.
He IS not in love with you or he
would find way to be with you more.
He values you as a good friend and
you should be satisfied with that re-
lationship.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am going
to have party for returned soldiers
and l expect to entertain married as
well as unmarried couples. When |
have them sit down to the table for
dinner should I have the husbands and
wives sit next to each other. or should
l mix up the crowd? DOUBTFUL.
Mix up the crowd Try to arrange
your guests so that the conversation
will run smoothly and no one will be
left out.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: What do you
think Of first cousins marrying? My
first cousin wants me to marry him,
but have said | would not. He says
it is perfectly safe. BOBETTE.
Personally l do not believe in first
cousins marrying. Very often such a
union turns out all right, but too often
there are bad results. The children
are apt to inherit extreme family char
acteristics so that they are abnormal.
Dear Mrs. thompson l am a girl
eighteen and am staying at home, but
my home is very unhappy one and
l am down hearted.
A boy nineteen who lives not far
from here loves me, but | love another
CT twenty-five. l have been going with
the nineteen-year-old one for a year
and have known both for many years.
The one twenty-five does not know
love him better. He has just returned
from France. How can | win his
Love?
Also, should | leave home so as not
to have to see this other boy so often
He said he could not believe that
did not love him, and SO how can
make him understand? Please advise
me what to do. MARY JANE

Be Yourself and there is chance that
the young man will care for you with
out any effort on your part to make
him. Try not to think of love. Il
will only make you unhappy. 4ot
must learn to enjoy what comes to you
and not grieve because things aren''
as YOU would like to have them.
Do not leave nome. Lake uenulls
stand with the nineteen-year-old boy
and tell him you do not enjoy his com
pany.
