If a boy has been going with a
girl and it comes a real cold Sunday
which I would call cold, windy rainy
pect him to come when he doesn't
live very far? There has been a boy
going with me and my grandmother
and sisters and brother don't like
for him to go and he knew it. So he
began writing and quit coming and
1 heard he let another boy read one
of my letters and I never answered
his last letter. L dropped him card
and told him I would answer his let
ter when [ saw him and haven't seen
him since. What would you do? A
boy writes to me nearly every day,
but he hardly ever comes to see me.
Something happens every time he
starts to come. Should I tell him he
must stop or come to see me more
regularly or what should I do?
Is it any harm for two to marry
by the same name and no relation?
Your advice will be certainly ap-
preciated, as l have no mother and
father. Please send advice as early
as possible for I am anxious.
F. L.
If the weather is very bad even
If it is only a short distance
and the young man has to walk
it Il hardly think you should get
angry with him if he fails to
keep his date. Put yourself in his
place. Still there are some men
who let nothing like weather g.
conditions stop them, when they
go accounting.
If your grandmother and sister
and brother are against the boy
who called upon you, then there
must be a reason. Perhaps he is
not the right sort. Often girls
become infatuated with a boy re-
CARELESS of who he is. They only
take him for what he looks
like.
If he let another boy read
your letter think he did wrong
and you had better give him
UP.
Well if the other boy keeps
making excuses about coming to
see you, drop him. Don't answer
his letters.
There is absolutely no harm in
any one marrying another by the
same name.
If I can help you in any other
way I will be glad to do so. My
heart goes out to all motherless
girls.
Dear Miss Meredith: I am writing
for little advice. Am eighteen years
old, and not bad looking.
I have been going with one boy reg
ularly for the past two years. He
has told me more than once that ne
loved me more than any other girl,
and has given me everything in the
shape of presents that girl could
desire. My smallest wish is gratif1ed
Is this any proof of his love! l THINK
I really do love him now, though did
not at first. Should 1 tell MIN so IL
he wants to know?
Still claiming to love me more than
all the world, he says it is not
enough to marry me. We had never
talked of the future before. Can you
tell me what he can possibly mean
by such statement? Should 1 let
him make love to me under the cir
cumstanceS?
Is it proper for a boy to give girl
ring other than an engagement
ring, that is if he is not engaged to
her?
What stones are appropriate for en-
gagement rings?
Thanking you in advance for the
above advice, and trusting that [
may find my answer in The Tr1-
LONESOME"
Lonesome: When a man gives
a woman expensive presents he
evidently must care for her; but
often costly presents are given I'M
der conditions. No girl has any
right to accept them from him
unless, she lis engaged to marry
him.
How do you act toward him?
If he has been in any way ia
miliar with you, you can scarce
ly expect him to marry you.
Though woman may be ten
times better than a man.. still it
has always been the way of man
to want to wed purity. If a girl
allows a man privileges she de-
stroys her future, and a wise girl
knows that the more particular
she is the quicker she will win
out. 1t is human nature to want
the things so far beyond our
reach, and the things which are
the hardest to get.
If were you would find out
how I stood if his estimation, and
tryto give him up If You
think he is only going with you
to pass the time away. Diamonds
are considered the true engage
ment stone. But often ineXpen-
sive rings are given with other
stones as settings. To people who
are really in love the kind of
ring means little, except the
value of sentiment placed upon it
by love.
