An ODD "IlABIT."

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have a very dear girl friend. married. but
she has an odd habit OF kissing men and boys
REGARDLESS OF tn. fact that she is married. She
does il as a matter of course. and am sure she
means not the slightest harm; as / said. II is
merely a habit She thinks nothing about kiss
ing my brother several times during Sn evening
when she calls at my house, or kissing the hus.
bands OF her friends
never paid much attention to this habit OF
hers until | became engaged. Now, she Is very
fond Of my fianoe. and, as her husband is out
of town frequently, she spends much of her
time at my house.
She takes for granted It is her privilege to
accompany us to the theater or to dances At any
rate when we get ready to GO she also gets
ready and goes with us. despite the fact that
my mother and brothers are at home. Cd
This would not seem to be the worst. 7 try
not to be jealous, but she does not slight my
fisnce on the kissing propos ton. She flirt5
outrageousy with him, apparently without real
ling it, and kisses him any time she fels in the
mood. Now I have known this Giri for years,
and her people have treated me vonderfully:
have gone to hor homo on vacations and spent
weeks at a time. The two families are friends
of long standing, and do not want 30 say any
thing to cause any fricNon between us, stili,
feel as though II is not necessary that she act
the way she does am in = difficult position.
What would you suggest? don't know how TO
put n stop to hcr frivolous pastire, and 7 am
constantly worried BY her seeming lack OF moral
or honor READER.
Your friend has a very unusual habit" but
since her manifestations are so thoroughly and
widely distributed. II seems to me tina. YOU
should have objection when her activities
suddenly happen to include your fisnce.
