DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
] am a girl of twenty-five, and
have been keeping company with a
young man for nearly two years.
For the first eighteen months of our
meeting my life was like a fountain
OF joy and hope, for he always ap-
peared anxious to be with me and
was always expressing his great
love for me. Il loved him dearly,
but could never express my love for
him.
1t seemed every time I was on the
verge or doing SO my courage would
fail. And he used to tell me 1 did
not love him. when in my heart 1
did, but could not put my feelings
into words and actions. / gave up
all my boy friends, as he seemed
very jealous and did not even like
TO see me talk to anyone. thought
II would please him. and IL was en-
tirely in accordance with my own
feelings that 1 did it, We became
engaged and were to be married
last September. But through me
the engagement was broken. He
still continued to call on me. and
still talked of being married and
asked me to appointsthe time. But
every time ! saw him my courage
would fail. So just put it of until
he became wornout and tired,
suppose Around Xmastime he be-
came very cross at me over a mis-
understanding, and he told me he
would never meet me again. 1t al
most broke my heart. and as
thought i was to blame for what
had happened, / tried 10 apologize
with him, as loved him dearly and
could not think of losing him. We
finally made up, but he has never
been the same since. He always
seems to have excuses for not see
ing me. j have heard he is meeting
another girl. But when 1 ask him
he says no, and says he loves me
petter than anyone else. He has not
proved II in the last four months,
as he seldom meets me and when he
does IL it's out town he never comes
home with me.
Now, do you think this young
man could stay away from me, IL
he cared anything about me? He
knows what a lonesome life / spend
without him.
BROKEN BLOSSOMS.
A lovers patience is often very
short and ] fear you have worn
this boys temper with moods he
could not understand. After all,
men seek women's company for
happiness and comradeship and
when they get nothing but con-
troversy instead, they are apt to
run away. This doesn't neces-
sarily mean that their love has
cooled. They may long for happi-
ness they cannot seem to achieve
and not understanding, simply re-
main away and keep silent. Try
to be gay and happy when you DO
see him; try to make every MN
ute with him full of joy and happi-
ness and you will be surprised at
the quick change in his attitude
Don't assume the role of Broken
Blossoms" when you are with him
because a gloomy sweetheart Is
seldom popular.
