Now, I took this young man to a
wedding and introduced him to every.

girl winked at him. She had never
a met him before and he went over to
her and she gave him her address.
Was it right for him to take her address
when he was with me? / had fight
with the girl right there. and l begged
him to tear up the paper, but he would
not do It, If he loved me don't you
think he would tear the paper up?
Now. l love this fellow and he says
he loves me. He proposed marriage to
me many times. Cynthia, will you ad-
wise me to continue the friendship or
shall l give him up? l love him dearly
and 1t would break my heart to give him
up. He came to see me the following
day at the place l work and did not
talk to him

Don't you think you are rather ex.
treme to make so much of this thing?
The girl Is evidently very forward
one and this man would not have gone
to see her, He probably wanted to
tease you, since you made so much of It,.
BE nice to him when you see him
again. And nev.r make a scene at any
place with another person, man or
woman. Keep your dignity in the pres.
enCe of others no matter how outraged
YOU may feel Because another woman
does not behave as "a lady should is no
reason why 1t should be all right Tor
