has caused the man to forget his
love for you. To write again would
be useless. Try to forget just as
he has forgotten. Go out with
young people and rs far as pos
sible hide your feelings for the
young man. 1t may seem now as
il you can never get over your hurt.
You will find, however, that time is
great healer. Before many
months you will think Of him less
and you will take more interest in
others or another young man.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a
girl 10 years old and have no
mother. l am rather good looking
and decent and a Woodworking girl.
l have no steady company or any
boy friends whatever. Please tell
me why 1t is that I can't get fell
low. People say a fellow wants a
decent girl. Then why can't I get
one? When I get q fellow they al
ways say things that no decent girl
will allow. l can't understand the
matter. LONESOME.
You have asked a question which
many girls ask and which is i'm
possible for me to answer because
Il have not seen you. It is not
necessary to have beauty to get q
fellow Magnetism and charm
seem to be the great attractions.
Men do want decent" girls. They
fiirt and dance with fast girls, and
often they marry them, but nine
tenths of the men would tell you
that they want decent girls. II
they marry the other kind 1t is
usually because they are infatu-
ated and imagine good and wonder
full things in the girl and fail to see
her faults.
1t is discouraging to have self
respect and then to be insulted by
indecent men who are too stupid to
realise that you are decent. Don't
lose your faith IN doing right. You
are very young and the right man,
the type Of man your heart desires.
