He was away at the time OF my marriage.
Since my divorce we accidently met on the

about twice a week. He claims he loves me
and has since our first meeting four years ago.
He begs me each time meet to become his
wife. He is able to furnish me a very COM
Portable home. having quite n bit Of cash. He
is the only child of wealthy parents. I am
also positive he will treat me splendidly.
Now Miss Fairfax. the question is this: !
do not love this man or have.an affection
for him whatsoever. | tell him this, but he
says that I will learn to love him after we
are married. I remind him Of my former mar
riage and he says my husband was too old:
and was too much Of a child. Do you think
his being near my same age would make any
difference II do not love him. try to con-
vince him but he refuses to listen.
Would you tell him in a nice way to stay
away, and not see him any more. or would
you take the step and marry him feeling the
