rated. Do you think l ought to give
her up? J. J. l..
Where are those important
qualities, your courage, faith
in yourself and common sense?
Suppose your present job does
end in September, aren't there
other jobs? II you've done your

ton won't have other work for you.

How can you be sure someone you
meet won't offer you an opportu-
nifty, and, above all, why don't you
look around for an opening? Don't
get out of your engagement because
you're too lazy and shiftless to take
