look to be older than seventeen or
eighteen, and I am in love with a

you think it is right for one to be
jealous after going together that long
if they truly love each other? And
how often do you think that I ought
to go to see her? Do you think it
would be wrong for a bunch of boy
and girl friends to go off on a picnic
together? Do you think it is all right
to give a girl a costly present at
that age? Hoping to see the reply to
these questions in the next Journal,
and thanking you for your advice,
/ am truly yours,
w. L. M.
