MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

I am boy of twenty years of age,
with dark hair and blue eyes, fair
complexion and weigh 100 pounds. I
have written you once before, but
didn't see my letter in print, but
please publish this in The Journal. l
have been in love with a girl for
about ten years; ever since [ first
saw her. and [ used to go to see her,
and she always treated me nice, I'M
til one night l took her home from
an entertainment, and she still treat
ed me all O. K, and when 1 started
to leave her that night I asked her
if l could call to see her on the fol
lowing Sunday afternoon. She told
me yes, to be sure and come, that she
would be glad to have me come any
time. But on Friday before Sunday
I received a note from her saying
that 1 must not come to her home
Sunday evening, as 1 promised, but
didn't give me any reason, and L
wrote and asked her what was the
matter and if l had done anything TO
make her angry, that L was sorry,
but she never answered my letter. L
know [ love her better than any 9TH
err girl and she tells other girls that
she loves me. and she doesn't go
with any other boy. Please tell me
how to win her, as I will never be
satisfied without her, ana do you
think she loves me? And tell me
what to write her. She is the most
popular girl in this county, and every
boy wants to go with her, but they
don't succeed. Even when I see her
at church she always looks at me as
if she wants me to start conVerSa--
ton with her, but 1 never say word
to her. Now please advise me what
to do. Blu E-t1I ELL bALhi'
7 cannot understand the young
girls attitude toward you. She
led you to believe she liked you.
When she told you to call on the
following Sunday L suppose she
meant what she said. Perhaps
she has a sweetheart who doesn't
live in the same town, and she is
lust going with the young men In
her home town to pass away the
time. 1t is rather hard to under
stand her actions. Let her alone
and treat her indifferently Tor
awhile, and maybe she will come
around. She is spoiled, and has
been fattered too much. GIVE
her a chance to miss you. ana II
she cares anything at all she Will
let you hear from her. But II
she does not, then she will go on
in the even tenor of her way. IL
YOU wish to write her a letter,
ask her plainly what she means
by her conduct, admit to her you
love her-let her know 1t. ASK
her to think over what you nave
cided answer.
am coming to you for advice
Won't you please advise me. L am
not like most girls, loving some ola
hard head, [ am an orphan girl anu
no one loves me at all. Tell me how
to act to get some one to love me, |
am the ugliest girl in the state. l
am cross-eyed and half blind. L have
light hair and it is scraggly, and
thin. My mouth is large and my
teeth are very big and decidedly vel,
one foot is longer than the other. 1
am just about the greatest misfit
one has ever seen to be human put
I cannot help it. and L am 50 ais
couraged I don't know what to do.
Please, out of kindness of Your
heart, give me a little incourage-
ment LONELY GIRL.
Lonely Girl: You are like the
little boy who said when his
mother told him that God made
him. Gle was so ugly.) Ee looked
