unbroken paper bags were laid aside for

Although he made no engagement.
am true to him, and intend going
with no other young man until he re-
turns, He says he will be true to
me. But would like him to make
an engagement before leaving town.
Please tell me what to do.

for YOU to speak was when he asked
you to be true. Then it would have
peen easy for you to have said that yoJ
