MARY MEPEDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

I'm coming to you for advice on
how to treat an Indifferent and BASH
full boy.
We have been called sweethearts
since little children, but he has al
ways been droll. He says he loves
only one he cares for. He writes
to me often and then quits, and then
writes again. / haven't heard from
him in some time but have talked to
him and he was real nice. Do you
think he loves me? He has never
been with any other girl. He goes
to school at night and works in day
Do you think he is holding back on
account of his financial business? L
think he doesn't know what to write
about. as we have been writing SO
long, How would you treat him
when meeting up with him? He IS
twenty-three years old and has
brown eyes. l also have brown eyes
and am twenty years of age. Would
you try to forget him Or not? He
has often given me simple presents.
Thanking you in advance and hop
ing to see this in print early.
LONELY BROWN EYES.

ing Indifferent to him, he might
wake up.

ward each other.

you for advice. I am sixteen years
of age. My father will not let me
go with boys as friends, of course.

will hardly let me visit any of my
girl friends. He quarrels at me and
tells me 1 don't do anything, when
