My Dear Perplexed: Your letter
asking advice regarding the attentions
of your employer is at hand.
If he processes real interest in your
wholesome companionship," I'm sure
he will appreciate the predicament in
which you find yourself in accepting
his kindnesses. Tell him quite frank

ton causes in the heart of your lover.
Explain to him that you really love
this young man, but that you rightly
feel that you should not marry yet,
but wait until you are both older,
and he has a better grip on life; that
you must keep on with your work.
Then, l am sure he will understand
the situation and not press his atten-
tions. To ride with him occasion

sweetheart to be jealous. You can
not have too many men friends who
take a friendly interest in you. Such
friendships are always delightful.
