Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been
going with a young man for ten
months and we love each other dearly
OF late the young mans father has al
most forbidden him 10 leave home, or
do anything that other boys do.
Since he cannot go with me much
either have to go with some one else
or stay at home, as he does not wish
me TO go with others because we are
secretly engaged. Please advise wheth
er | should go with others or not.
MILE.
secret engagement is really not
an engagement at all. 1t leaves loop
hole for the one demanding the secre-
cy to break the engagement without
any responsibility or fear of criticism.
If the young man loves you so much
that he cannot let you go with other
young men, he should love you enough
to declare the engagement and face
his fathers wrath.
presume that both OF you are quite
young and not in position to marry.
| would, therefore, advise that you go
with other young men until the time
when your engagement is made public.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am coming
again for your motherly advice.
love a man who doesn't love me, but
he respects me and loves me as
friend only. He made things very
plain to me and told me not to love
him, but would not say why. The other
night he told me he loves a girl, but
couldn't keep company with her. He
says it is the only time in his life that
he has ever loved any one. He wants
me for pal or a real friend, but
can't go on. Something must be done
I have often thought of going away
but where? My love is so great for
this man I would go through anything
for him if thought he cared Please
understand and advise me, because
need it and will appreciate it.
BROKEN-HEARTED
You should not go on giving love
and getting friendship in return, be-
cause II is too hard on you and makes
you suffer too much. The man is
selfish and does not realize how much
he is demanding of you. To give him
up entirely is the only way to get con-
tentment. When the matter is settled
and entirely over you will feel a relief
and freedom from strain that will
seem almost like happiness.
Tell the man that you will always
consider him a very dear friend and
that in time of trouble he can feel
free to come to you, but the rest of the
time you think it best not to see
him.
You seem deeply in love, but can
not believe that it is the greatest love
in your life. Do not cling to the past.
If you enter into new interests you will
form new attachments and in time will
learn TO care for some one else who
will return your affection with a love
as great as your own.
