Their don't care anything about my
pleasures or future. I have a boy
friend who has been coming to see
me for some time. He came before
mother died. He is a mighty fine
young man and has always been nice
to me until the last two times he
came. We were engaged; on account
of mothers death we put off marry
ing until later on.
The last two times he came he
didn't treat me as a gentleman, his
conduct was bad, and he told me
there wasn't any use Of his coming
any more, for he didn't want to mar
and forget all about him.
I don't feel like I ever can forget
him, for I certainly do love him. |
know there is no one in the world
ever can love as well as love
| him. He came of nice family. and

about asking him to call by and see
| if I could find out the trouble. |
am 25 years old, and he is rs. |
| think I know what love means. l
don't think I ever can give him up
| Would you talk to him or let him
alone a while? I can't talk to him
without crying, for have cried over
| it for a week. I can't sleep at night.

for advice.
A TROUBLED GIRL.
| To be honest with you, as long
| as your mother lived, you were
shielded and protected by her,
and now that she is gone, this
| young man has thrown aside the
mask and shown himself to be
| anything but a gentleman. He
| took advantage of your grief and
| your moments of weakness. NOW
! women will always be soft and
| forgiving. He has insulted and
| Inundated you, and yet he knows
you care for him. I am sorry
| for you. But at the same time,
it is the woman who treats a
who has the primrose path to
| walk in. So do not despair, but
| let him go his own gait. Try
to let him go if you can. know
| 1t is hard, but for the sake or
| your womanly pride, do not let
him come to see you again. He
| will wake up and realize your
| backbone is not composed of
| straw.

lonely girls, ~
You are too young to marry
the boy of 10. His parents are
right I am surprised at your
mother for giving her consent.
Why can't you employ your mind

thoughts of marriage at this ear

your head is filled with ro-
nance, and you can imagine
what wonderful life you will
have with your young husband.
