MARY MEPED|TH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

VIII you help heart-broken girl?
am tWenty-one years old and have
been going with a man twenty-nine,
for some time. He loved be very
dearly or said he did and said that
we would get married when he got
home from war. Well, he came home
but when he came to see me, l would
not kiss him, though L did kiss him
before he left, but was sorry I did
it and would not kiss him on his re-
turn. 1 love him yet and don't be-
lieVe I will ever love another, but he
would not come back to me for any
thing. Do you think he would if
I'd write to him asking him to come,
and what should I say if I wrote?
thought me untrue? We were not en-
gagged, though 1 think he took it for
granted. Tell me what to do, and
how to forget him and love another
if I must. 1 am fair complicated,

too old to go to college and enter
freshman class. I will thank you
a thousand times if you can help
me. "JONTELL."
Going to war, and seeing a diff
knowledge of their ways, has
changed many Of our soldier
boys, some of them were in love
with nice sweet American girls,
but after they were turned loose
on qnr the other {bs zde the they RF9fmp bG
hind" which lis nothing to their
credit. All I can say is this, I
do not believe the young man
loves you very deeply because If
he did. he would contrive to. see
you. Love laughs at locksmiths,
and a man in love with, woman
see her. Give him up, try to in
terest yourself in something
else or some other man. Do this,
as it is the means of making you
frget. Perhaps your friend will
see that you are not wearing your
heart on your sleeve for him and
he might return. Self-control
must be practiced in order that
you can adjust yourself to the
conditions. I do not think he
cares for you the way you wish
him. I do not think you are too
old to enter the freshman class
at college and it will be of the
greatest benefit to you.
L am a man 46, and in love with a
girl II. She is a verybeautiful girl,
and we were to be married when

But now she tells me she cares for
me only as a friend, and wishes to
be released from her promise. There
is a boy nineteen whom she says
she loves dearly. What must 1 do?
love her dearly and could give her
every comfort and pleasure money
can buy. 1 feel that l cannot live
without her. Both her people and
mine approve of our engagement. L
have a nephew, a young doctor, age
"a, who also loves her. He is In a
position to give her every comfort,
and he says he will win her res.
Advise me what to do, and oblige.

Would you want a woman if
she did not love you. Possession
means nothing but misery to yon
both. If the young lady asked

to marry her, and she told him

harm in my sister and I correspond
ing with some of Aunt Julia's boy
friends? We do not write to the
same one. Can you give me any adj

the seventh grade at school. Do you
think that is far enough for me to
be at my age? Don't you think Win

to go to finish my education?, How
old must a girl be before she can
start going with boys? 1 just like
them for a grand time and fun, that
is all. I want to wait until I am
older to worry about love. Don't
you think I am right? How IS my
handwriting? Your advice will be
appreciated. Hoping to see this in
print next week,
Lovingly Xy 2HEzz,M
I think you are old enough
now to have a few boy
friends. You need not worry
about loving any of them, but it
is nice for boys and girls to get
together and have pleasant par
ties and good times in general.
Get nice lady to chaperon you,
and have picnic parties. don't
see any harm in your writing to
Aunt Julia's boys and girls; it is
nice for boys and girls to form
ideas. Girls and boys who live
in the country do not have the
things to amuse them like their
city sisters and brothers, there
fore letters through Aunt Julia's
letter box encourages friendship
and promotes fellow feeling
among the young people, For it
