hand this dear little girl. in a certain
sense shows me that she cares for me
also I've been invited to her home sew

and sisters They all seem to appreciate
my company. But the thing Is she acts
the same way towards most Of the boys.
So this puts me in doubt to her sert-

might take advantage. J believe my
actions say enough. HAROLD.

that he won't tell her OF his feel

love yourself. It's up to you to
know which--and to show which.
