am seventeen and quiet girl,
but the "jolly lot" call me an old
maid. When I was very small I was
wild, too, but when left an orphan
settled down. laid all jokes
aside, went to church and accepted
Jesus as my Saviour. I intend tol
live worthy life here on earth
But from some cause I can't lovel
boys at all, and they admire me.
They say I am a true girl, and wear
a smile. I love to be with married
women and small children, and en-I
joy myself with them the most. Girls
my age think me queer for not loving
boys, but 1 have no desire for them.
I prefer bachelor. Do you think
the man you are engaged to, to kiss
you? After an engagement is it
harm for him to put his arms aroundI
me? Do you think a man loves a.
girl when he gives her many nice
presents, Is it any harm to run
away to be married? Please, please
advise me as soon as you can.
LITTLE WONDER.
You claim you are old maidish
and you love only cats, old Wom-
en- and small children, and have
no desire for the male sex"
Yet you love old bachelors, and
are engaged to be married, and
have even kissed a man. You
want to know if a man loves
the girl he gives nice presents
to. I don't know. Men claim
they love when they don't, their
mouths say they do, when their
mind says they don't. But I sup
pose this man may have some
affection for you or he wouldn't
waste his money so foolishly.
Yes, it's harm to kiss and hug
a man and girls take mighty
big risks in doing so. If one is
engaged that means very little,
broken, and the girl has time
then for remorse and reflection.
Wait until the wedding ring has
been placed on your finger be-
fore you permit so much car
ressing. If you can possibly
marry at home, it is best to do
so.
You seem to understand all of the
problems of the girls and boys so
thoroughly and answer them with
such evident personal interest.
I am a girl eighteen years of age.
Have been going with boy of nine
teen regularly, for about year, and
I am sure 1 love him with all the
love my heart is capable of bestow-
ing on any one. He has often de-
clared his love for me and has proven
it in every way possible. We are en-
gagged to be married some time with
in the next year: He wants us to
marry now, but I think we are too
young. Still, don't think we should
wait very much longer, because I
don't believe in long engagements.
Do you? I had quite a girlish love
affair with another boy before l be-
gan going with this one. Because
of my deep infatuation for him [
unconsciously permitted few ad-
vances from him that I have re-
GREETED ever since. Of course, there
was no real harm done, as he did
nothing more than kiss me, still 1
don't feel right about it, especially
since I have come care for this 9TH
err boy, for he believes me to be the
very soul of purity This boy, I am
going with now has never directly
asked me about my affairs with this
other boy, but he has mentioned 1t
indirectly, and 1 have said things to
make him believe that I never per-
mitted the least familiarity, and this

he trusts me so lemphatically.
know it would greatly wound my
pride and dignity to come plain out
and confess everything, still be-
lieve I would feel much better over
| it if I told him the truth about N
before we married. Please tell me
what to do. 1 know him to be the
very soul of honor. He's such dear
boy. 'REMORSEFUL NELL.
