Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am q
young girl II years old. ] am in
love with a man eight years my
senior. have been going with him
ever since Christmas. He tells me
he loves me and wants me to marry
him. The trouble is that every Sat-
urday night he has an appointment
to see another girl whom he has
been going with for over two years.
He says he goes with her for rea-
sons which I never knew. In all
other ways he is true to me and re-
spectful.
l have had dates with him and
broken them and he never seemed
to object except he says he is sorry
for 1t. Do you think he really
loves me? Shall l continue to 60
with him il he goes with the other
girl on Saturday nights!
IN LOVE.
Indeed you should not marry the
man unless he gives up the other
woman or gives You an entirely sat
isfactory explanation regarding his
visits to her. 1t is difhcult to be-
lieye that he has any reason except
that he enjoys her company. 1t ID
impossible for me to say whether
or not he loves you. ! should think
he Would want your company only
II his love were deep enough to

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

informed by good authority that
shoes with broad toes, straight in

best shoes for everybody to wear.
Please confirm this. am Camp

advisable to wear tennis shoes on

ANSWER-The rumor il hereby
confirmed. Wear tennis shoes for

barefooted. Women who have
worn very high heels for many
years sometimes have . permanent
" shortened Acchiles tendon (heel
cord) and this deformity causes
pain II a sudden change to low
heels is made; they should lower
the heels by degrees. But a girl
Of your age scarcely suffers In that
way unless chorus lady ideas have
been encouraged much too early.
The height of the heels varies in
versely with the amount OF gray
matter a young woman has in her
attic. It is all right to put on the
highest and narrowest Of French
heels for certain formal occasions,
but 1t betrays mental deficiency to
wear high heels every day. You
will observe that it is chiefly the
half-educated girl who adopts
what may be called party gowns
and such things for everyday use.

very well, but l did not know why.
Do you think man really can love
two girls at the same time? do
not mean to have husband that
wants a harem. 1t is just alone
or not at all.
Please tell me what you think.
INDIGNANT.
You are presuming a lot when
you say that you know the man
who wrote me the letter. unless he
himself has verified your suspicion.
/ get many letters day from peo-
pie of this town and from other
towns.
Unfortunately It is not always
possible to read between the lines
as should. The man told his story
and not yours. He gave the i'm
preston that the lady in question
was of an affectionate nature, Civ
ing her love freely. did not feel
from his letter that he had propos-
ed or even declared his love to the
girl. When q young man likes two
girls equally it is . good sign that
he Is not In love with either; there
fore he IL mot tickle II he continues
to go with both until he can make
up his mind. OF course he must
regard both - friends and not talk
Of love to either.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: My boy

full and I like him anyway. I will
