NARY MEREDITHS ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

Will you advise me just once
again, as I think I need some ad-
vice? You may remember me as
have written you before. I am a
girl, seventeen years of age, and I
am troubled. 1 went with boy
eighteen years &C. age for long
time, and he seemed to care every
thing for me. He lived a long ways
off and he couldn't come often, and
when he would come he seemed so
glad to see me. We were engaged
to be married and lots of people
knew it CHATS what I hated). He
told me he simply could not live
without me. He wrote me about 9TH
er girls, and to be even with him, l
wrote him about some boys, and he
got angry with me and said L was
not true. 1 wrote him I was just
joking. One of his friends told me
he was engaged to girl near his
home. I wrote him about it and he
said it was a. lie, and in a few weeks
he was married. See. he told me a lie
and tried to deceive me. I loved
seemed to love me. He would tell
me all his business and talk about
our future home; how happy we
would be. 1t almost killed me to
have my hopes dashed to the ground
in that way. 1 did love him and, OH

could only forget after all. He has
been married six months and | still
love. him. What must 1 do? Daddy
wants me to marry another. This
boy loves me. I am SO unhappy.
TRUE LOVE.

for this boy. I know it seems
hard and it is. 1 know all about
it, child, but stop and think: us

you in the first place" He didn't
show much judgment when he
married the thirteen-year-old

for you to do is to try to get
your mind off of this boy. After
a while you will forget him; you
will be happier. Console your
self with this. that there is

be-" And some day you will be
very happy in the love Of man

and find it very helpful. I am six

had something to tell me, and i
went with him to get some water,
and my sweetheart got angry with
me. Please tell me if you think he
loved me and how 1 can win him
