do not think the question of the
slight difference in your ages should
bother you in the least II you are sure
this is love and not just momentary in
fatuation. II you are congenial and
care deeply for each other. ] see no
reason why your ages should deter you
from getting married.

age, A man who 10 IS years my senior
loves me, but he has been married and
separated from his wife. ! seem to en-
Joy the society Of other boys but little,
and do not care to 90 out with them
When this man speaks even kindly TO
any other girl II nearly drives me crazy
and get nervous and angry. Why do |
do this? II this man were single

and Is regular Van1p. What shall I
do7 INNOCENT AND IGNORANT.
If you are really as worried as your
letter indicates. the best thing for you
is to make yourself forget this man
and begin at once TO enjoy the COM
pany Of younger girls and boys, There
seems to he nothing ahou thin that
any girl could admire, and the fact
that he Is a vamp is doubtless the rea-
son for the separation from his wife
It Is unlikely he will cease his atten-
tons to other girls even though he
were married Make yourself forget
him Just as quickly as possible.
