but L loved him, and couldn't help

July, an old friend came down, and
some one told him that I was en-
gagged to the Alabama boy. The old
friend, a boy have known for years,
was furious at the news, and wrote
to the Alabama boy, telling hirn that
I was engaged to him (the Georgia
boy) and asking the one I really
love, never to see me again. So the
Alabama boy has gone home. What
must 1 do? Do you suppose he cares
for me? If not, how can I get him

as if my heart would break.

lied about the engagement
Make your letter nice and friend

If he really cares for you, he
will do the rest.
Don't think of dying your hair.

You are too young to marry,
and you are doing very wrong
to keep such a secret from your
father and mother. The young
man is not behaving very we'll
in wanting you to keep 1t a Sc
cret, either. No good ever comes
thing for this young man to do
is to go to your father in a
straightforward, manly way and
tell him of your love, and that
you want to marry. Then walt
at least a year, until the boy Is
in position to take care OF you
properly. 1 am sure your father
and mother will consent, once
you have convinced them that
you are really in love, and that
you are willing to wait a year
to be married. If the boy does
not consent to this course of
action, he does not really love
you.
