Dear CyIlInldr-l hdNo pSci uAS
reaSer Of your paper for the last three
years and have never written to you
before, but have noticed your wise
counsel and being confronted Win

In the fall Of 1917, when ! came TO

a young lady here in the city through

her answer to an engagement She de,
clared her willingness and bought anc
presented to her a fraternity pin. though.
of course, I had not and have never
vet to this day met her family, since
thew do not live In the city.
Immediately ceased all correspond
epce and haG no more dates with any
of my former girl friends and gave all
my time to her, except, OF course, the
time necessary for study. Everything
seemed to go very smoothly for about
four months, and then I found out that
she was spending quite few evenings
with other young men. I told her that
I did not approve Of this anG asked her
to be more considerate, as l felt that

the only evenings Indt / COulu spare, 90
I needed and did spend the other eve
nings In study. But It seemed that she
was not satisfied by going out only on
other evenings, but even made dates
with another young man on Wednesday

boarding place It was to be told that she
had gone out with Mr.. felt that
this was Just a little too much, and

did, as we'll as sending three letters in
the week following, in which she said.

and grew up. This friendship eliminated

was at home, ! spoke TO this young
lady and her parents and they an
nounced our engagement.
Since that my friend and I have both
had letters from this young lady. In
which she tries her very best to break
our engagement She threatens in addi-
tion to sue me for breach Of promise.
I still have her letters of which made
mention, ! have no money, being still

suit? We have disregarded her SLAM

this our best policy? Her slander really
seems to be- the work of some of her
friends who are putting her UP to Il

giving her square deal.
PERPLEXED.
She Is probably only trying to frighteI
you. II you have these letters saytnl
that she does not want your love,

any harm. II would be wisest to ignor,
her letters now, but be sure to kee
them all. and especially the three yo
mention, which state that she does no
want your love.
