disappointed because there were
too many boys that wanted to take

him as before this happened. Shall

would you advise me to do?

Dear M. NJ: / think. my dear,
II l were in your position that
would simply forget the young man
altogether. You say that you do
not love him and he has really not

he really likes you and cares to re-

sees that you will not put up with

you. he will no doubt explain his
actions. Go out with some of the
other young men and forget him.

Through the English Hannah, it
