what he tells me my love Is recipro.
Gated. However It is not all smooth
sailing, as I have problem before
mo and / hope that you Will help
me solve It.
Although my friend and I are
free to go out with whom we please,
I have voluntarily given up all my
male friends because of him. l have
told him all about my previous boy
friends and also that / have given
them up. ,..
Through a mutual acquaintance
I find that he continues to so about
with another girl whom he knew
before we became friends. What
hurts me is this: Why hasn't he
told me about this girl? Especially
after I had, so to speak, made a
clean breast of everything. l doubt
very much whether he has told the
other girl about me so you can
readily see that we are both cropping
in the dark. 1t Is quite impossible
for me to broach the subject, as he
does not know know anything Of
his other friend. ROSE.
Possibly you, take the young man
and his love too seriously. Possibly
you do not trust him enough. Either
accept the situation philosophically,
and resume your friendly relations
with other men, or accept it and go
on hoping that you will come some
day to be the only girl. If you find
that doubt and questions are chang

I do not mean that the girl is

fact that you want to please her. that
there Is enough romance in you to

vice. Now my problem is this.
have been going with girl about Is
months and we are to be married
soon. Now I want to give her a
ring for engagement, and I do not
know what kind to get. A diamond
would be the most proper, but they
are so expensive that l almost think
we could use that money to better
house. Please tell me what to do.
Thanking you in advance.
JUST A FARMER LAD.
I am sure you are fine lad. but
you are making a mistake right in
the beginning of your romance. Why
don't you let the girl help decide a
question which probably means more
to her than to you. There are too
many men who decide what is good
for woman and then expect her to
like it.. If the girls worthy of you,
she will not ask you to get anything
for her which you cannot afford. She
will always be happier with her ring
and it will mean more to her, If she
knows you tried to please her.
My suggestion Is that you talk 1t
over with her. Give her your views
and let her express hers Then do
what seems most desirable Some
girls never have a nice piece of jew

ment ring. You could get a good,
