I am a lonely girl, IL years or
age-Am in love with a boy, %. He
is a very nice boy, and every one
likes him. He comes to see me very
often, and says he loves me better
tran any one else, but he never
asks me to go anywhere with him.
He acts like he is ashamed of me
when we are both at the same party
or happen to meet in public. Now
do You think he cares anything for
me? My father doesn't like for me
to go with him. Please tell me
what to do, as I dearly love this
boy, better than any one else.
I write to a boy in Alabama, and
he gets mad every time he hears of
me writing him a letter. Would you
keep writing to him or not?
[ hate to slight him, for he says
that he loves me better than any
one on earth. He treats me real nice
when he comes to see me. L get
letters from him twice a week.
But I can never forget this home
boy. He lives next door to me. AND
I see him almost every day. He
goes with every girl that ne gets
a chance to.
I've been going with him four
years, and I have never mad over
two dates with another one BESIDES
him. Now, do you think he loves
me? People call me quite pretty,
and I have boy friends who want to
come to see me. I won't let them.
How can I treat my old friend-boy
next door to see if he is sincere In
his love he says he has Tor me!
Thank you.
Then why do you permit hizss
to call on you? Do you feel
that you are socially inferior to
him? If you are conscious OF
this feeling, he will quickly rec
ognize it and treat you in a pa
tronizing manner. You must set
him down on the lower shelf,
where he belongs, and stop keep
ing him out Of your reach. II
he has called on you often, in
four years you should know him
we'll enough by this time to in
quire into why he doesn't care
to be seen with you outside
your home. If you have any
backbone at all you will not
stand for such treatment. Tell
him plainly in an "honest-to-
goodness, business-like tone OF
voice." you do not care to have
him come to see you any more
if he cannot take you out; that
you are simply tired Of being
used as a convenience. Be proud
and respect yourself; others will
respect you. You have been soft
and mushy toward this boy, and
he is a conceited shrimp I'll
warrant. Wake up and tell him
a thing or two.
Here comes another lonely girl
asl1in. for some good advice. l am
| almost 10 years old. I am in love
with a boy 10 years old. He says
| he loves me better than any other
girl on earth and can't live happy
without me. I feel the same way
| about him. We are engaged to get
! married Christmas.
Now, another boy is coming to see
me and he says he loves me too
But I don't love this boy. This boy
has a car and I go with him some
| times. The one 10 has asked me
several times not to go with him
any more. He gets real angry with
me if he ever comes to see me. He
| asked me not to let him come any
more. 1 can't tell the boy to stay
at home. This is rich boy. But
the 19-year-old boy is poor.
Please print this advice in next
issue. Thanking you very much,
LUCILLE.
You are engaged to young
man with the idea of marrying
/ II Nl,,,s r,Nn
love him; he is poor. Yet you
are attracted by the worldly pos
sessions Of another boy. His
auto is so comfy. He has money
to bestow upon you the things
you secretly crave. ''Yield not
to temptation" Your love should
be deep enough for the man you
are about to wed; tc refrain from
accepting the attentions Of the
fellow with money. Unless in
your heart you love this boy well
enough to give up the society
of other young men for his sake,
do not think of marrying him,
for you do not love him suf-
ficiently. Marriage is so sacred,
50 holy, one should love the
other well enough to. stand the
trials, misfortune, sickness and
poverty together and as the
years grow upon you peace and
contentment should enfold you
growing out of the love and
faithfulness of each other. To
be happy in marriage "love" is
needed on both sides-nothing
else counts or is lasting.

his company at all, but loved anoth-
