ing unknd about him and let the mat
ter drop. II he really cares for. you he
will soon make some sign; otherwise,
you need not worry about him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson--I am a girl 10
years Of age and for some time have
been receiving the attentions Of man
20 years of age. | love this man better
than anything In this world and have
loved him for quits while. He seems
devoted. 70 me, spending all his leisure
thine With ma, and calling nearly every
night. He would call every night II /
would permit II. He Is very wealthy,
while am poor. Since he mas known
he has been quite a prominent figure In
II. He has always treated me with the
greatest respect and courtesy, and Is
perfectly wonderful to my mother. But
he never takes me anywhere, never asks
me to go anywhere, although have met
several of his friends. He has never
proposed, but often speaks of our fu-
ture together. ! am greatly worried,
because II thought II was lack OF re-
speet | would give him up at once, but
IeVe It is that. What do you think,
and what Is your adVIce7 | feel the
loss of him would simply, crush me.
1t is difficult to advise you about this
because some men deliberately pursue
this course Of conduct in order to en-
10Y the sweet privileges accorded TO
engaged people, although they never
commit themselves, The fact that your
friend has given UP society means to
indicate that he Is serious. II you can
possibly do so, control your own emo
tons and try to become independent OF
this man. You are very young. With
him, life might be a miserable farce;
with some boy your own age, happy
existence. Why not discuss the follow
in wit
time he refers to your future together,
ask him frankly just what he means by
that. That you consider this your due
under the circumstances to know Just
what his purposes are. Be prepared LOT
the result. II his purposes are not that
of marriage, | think he will clearly
show you. You may lose him, but what
is so uncomfortable as uncertainty?
Don't let one man break your heart. III
he is worthy and honorable in his in
tentions. he may be worth a few heart
aches; but he is not worthy, you are
wise to end the association as quickly
as possible.
Dear Mrs. Thompson-We are two
girls, aged q, and both Of us have sew
eraI admirers. None Of them appeal to
us, but we 90 with them and try to
treat them all alike. 10 this right, or
should we tell them we do not care for
them and not let them waste their time
for them to win our love. We both
have seen the man that we think we
could love, honor and obey, but, OF
course, we are too Independent to give
them the slightest Idea that we care d
flip. Tell US whether this Is right or
wrong7 II right, isn't there some way
without letting them know that we care
for them to win their love and respeet7

There is no reason why you should
deprive these boys of your company
il it gives them any pleasure and they
are not trying to make you love or
marry them Interesting girls, more
often than not pay their way by be-
ing good company and attractive. Do
not, however, let the boys spend any
big amount Of money upon you. No boy
can do better than to associate with the
right kind Of girls, ! am afaid that
you merely admire at a distance men
who have not shown any interest in you.
However If you are sure that you have
found the men of your hearts, why not
try to win them in ways permitted TO
women? II you feel certain they are
ones you want, you will have to go at
them gently and lure them along gin
gerly If YOU can keep your own hearts
from getting hurt, try to catch them.
