DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am q young girl OF nineteen.
at present temporary Government
employe. a graduate OF the Eastern
High School, and have the intention
of continuing my studies in few
months.
About year ago J met q young
man at a theater party. Something
attracted us to each other, and for
"A long while we went together.
This young man has had very little
education and is. altogether far
from my ideal of a man. / have
many friends. and / know many
young men who are far superior to
this fellow, and i have had a num-
ber of marriage offers, yet my
heart is always with this young
man; / always want to be with him
and would rather go out with him
than any one else / know. 1 miss
him, and think of him all the time
when ] am alone. Can this be love?
At least it is the nearest TO love
that / ever came
He has told me that he loves me,
though he has never said anything
about marriage. Circumstances
will never allow us to marry each
other. His lack of education and
profession is the barrier between
us, Though | have no intention OF
marrying before l am well on in my
twenties, l cannot help but feel
that marriage is inevitable where
there is real love on both sides.
feel that his love is sincere and
strong, and that to stop seeing him
l. fa
any harm in seeing him occasion
ally? Is itswronging IL him to let him
see me and continue loving me?
possibility OF ever marrying him
without hurting his feelings?
don't want to @play martyr" as you
once put 1t, but I would be willing
to forget my feeling for him, IL you
think there is way of breaking
him of his love, Sometimes ] won
der whether my feeling for him is
really love, or just an infatuation
in response to his love. yet at times
| feel as il ! can never give him
up.
] want your opinion and advice,
Miss Fairfax, / am TOO closs to the
situation to see it clearly.

7 F HE. is young and the right
sort, his present lack of edu-
cation need not be a barrier
to this love which has sprung up
between you, With your help and
the stimulus of your love, he could
be anything he wanted to be.
First let him decide what he is
best fitted for and then let him
take special courses and go to
night school. In two years he
could show wonderful improve
ment. The city is full Of young
men who work days and study at
night. There are hundreds in the
schools and universities who take
their school work in the day time
and have jobs in the late after
noon and evening, Where there's
a will there's a way and IL l were
as fond of him as you seem to be,
think I would find the way.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
II happens that have three par
ticular boy friends. One OF the three
have been going around with as
a steady for the last six months.
| think the world of him in a good
many ways, I really don't think
that ! could like any one half so
well as I do him. But there Ia one
thing ! hold against him, II is that
at times when we have little
quarrel, which doesn't last very
long, he goes around TO other boy
friends and talks about me. He
doesn't know that I find out all
about Il. lie says he loves me,
but do you think he would talk
about me like this II he did7
Now the other two Fellows I used
TO so with. and 7 still TO out with
them once IN q while nov, hut the
