Dear Annie Laurie: / am a girl
about seventeen years old and have
had one steady boy friend. We went
together about year and during that
year learned to loye him.
One night when was with him he
started to argue with ME and II
turned into a real quarrel. That was
a year ago and have not spoken to
him but once since. He comes here
quite often but does not go with any
of the girls. He has given me sew
eral presents and have accepted
them and am keeping them to re-
member him by 3ifoI cannot have his
friendship. I, 1oi III
/ have tried many ways to get
back his friends6jp ,apd, failed Please
advise me how can get back his
friendship and i ! A9uld return his
presents-A. Broken Hyarted Friend.
A Broken Hearted Friend: My dear
little girl, would it not be better to
have it over, once and for all, and
then try to forget this unforgiving
young man? Can't you see that If
your friendship were renewed you
might have nice Time ahead, al
ways having to explain, to offer apol
ogies, to humble yourself, to try to
keep peace at any price,"
That's the way it looks to me-try
to forget him and his fretful, unfOr-
giving ways.

years old but have always gone with
girls older than myself. must con
fess that We are very hilarious
and also tickle bunch of girls. al
ways looking for good time and
absolutely ignoring the more serious
side Of life.
| However for nearly two years i
have been very deeply infatuated with
young man of nineteen, of very
good family, yet he is also inclined
to take matters too lightly, myself
included. / am very sure that he
thinks great deal of me, although
not in a serious way and he also
thinks that l am not very deeply in
love with him.
He goes with other girls occasion
ally and go with other fellows, yet
/ am never happy except when am
with him. Because Il do not want
to force myself on him ! do every
thing can to make him believe that
he does not mean any more to- me
than the other men of my acquaint-
ance. Yet l do wish that he would
think more seriously of me and not
take such a frivolous attitude to-
wards his relations with me, even
though he thinks that / do Please
tell me what to do. Sincerely, Hen
ma Locks"
Henna Locks: If you are only six
teen, my dear you have no right in
the world to expect any serious at
tentions from any young man.
