1 am very lonely. Will you help
me with your good advice, for 1 am
in trouble? 1 am girl seventeen
years Of age, five feet high, weigh
1875 pounds, have dark curly hair,
medium complexion and blue eyes
Here is the point / want you to adj
wise me on. About three years ago
I met a boy that 1 loved very much.
We were warm friends, and at last
we moved away a long distance, and
l met and made new friends, but
still loved that boy. We wrote each
other often, but he never came for
long while. Then at last he came,
and 1 loved him more than ever. He
seemed to love me, and proved 1t IN
many ways. He asked me several
times to marry him, but 1 would al
ways tell him I was too young. He
could never change towards each
other. Then at last we became en-
gagged, and he seemed to love me
and always treated me nice. We had
the wedding set for September. AS
he had to come long ways, he
beg me to kiss him, and at last l
did, and he seemed to love me more,
and said it was not any harm, as
we were sure to marry ts+ =, He ue sa1d
never give, me up after that. But
here is where 1 need your advice.
Here lately he has grown cold to-
wards me He wrote me once about
going with the girls near his home,
and to get even with him 1 wrote
him about my boy friends. He got
mad and would not answer my let
ter for long while. But at last
he did write and bid me good-by.
He said that I had not been true.
A Ia 81 h1l ha
does not write like he use to- He
said he would always love me above
all on earth, but we could never
marry, as he wasn't going to marry
eighteen; DO you think l should
worry about kissing him, as I only
loved him and did not mean any
harm? Also. friend of his told me
he was engaged to a girl near his
home, and 1 don't know whether it
| given me up and doesn't love me any
| more? I know he loved me once
How can I live without him, as he
IS the only boy l can ever love?
and forgive me for writing so much,
| but try to answer them. May God
bless your good work, helping those
who cannot help themselves. Please
| print this. I have written before,
| but did not hear from you.
Your young man friend is like
many others at his age. He
thought he loved you above every
thing and everybody until he
CHANGED to meet another girl who
appealed to his fancy, and i'm
mediately his ardor cooled toward
| you. A boy at eighteen is ir-
responsible and not to be taken
seriously, I am sorry for you,
but the best thing you can do
is to profit by experience, and
when you meet another man
whom you are apt to fall in love
| with, do not let him see how
much you care for him.
Dear Madam: Will you please an
wer a few questions for an eighteen
year-old boy? l am a Carolina lad.
My mother is dead and I live with
my sister and brother on a farm.
[ quit school in the eighth grade,
two years ago. Would you advise
| me to start again?
When a boy goes off to a church
where he doesn't llnoy anybody, how
should he act? If he sees a girl he
would like to meet what is the prop
er way to make himself known to
| her?
Is it proper to ask a girl if he
| can call to see her the first time
| you are with her? And what should
ba the proper words in asking her?
