The Rock Island Argus and daily union., 1922-05-29


been going with a crowd OF girls at
school. We walk home together
and go to each Others houses to
study. The other day one OF the
girls had a party and she invited
every one but me. | guess she did
not think ! would find out, but enc
of the girls happened to mention
something about it.
Do you think l ought to drop
that crowd of girls? I love some
Of them and they are my best
friends. POLLY.
Study the attitude of the other
girls toward you. If they really
/ like you. invite you to their homes
and make a confident OF you, do not
let the slight of one of the group
spoil your pleasure in the others.
; 1t was very unkind thing for that
girl to do when she did not invite
you to her party. Be big about it.
however, and do not show any
grudge. To let her meanness en-
bitter your heart would be unfor-
, tunate indeed.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a
girl of Is. l am considered beau
tiful and have black eyes and au-
burn hair. l am in love with a
boy 10 years old who lives out of
town. He was crazy over me when
I visited in his town
Once l went to another town and
met another boy. The first boy be-
came jealous. He got angry aid is
Z rri- =
first we took things seriously as
there was mutual feeling between
US.
Should 1 drop him altogether, or
continue to write to him?
/. BLACK EYED BEAUTY.
Regard the boy as a friend and
continue to write to him. He would
be very foolish to think of marriage
at the early age of 19, and since
there is so much time ahead of him
before he takes that step, you can
only expect that he will go with
other girls as we'll as you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young woman "a years old and I
am engaged to a man five years
older than | am. We have been en-
gagged six years and it seems to
me that if we are ever going to get
married we should do so this
spring. My fiance is a very eau
tious man and he thinks we had
| better wait still longer. He has
enough money saved for US to go to
housekeeping on a much better
scale than the average, but he has
not enough saved to buy a house
outright and to furnish it at the
same time. 1t seems to me it
would be better to pay down on a
house and carry a mortgage than
to wait years longer before we
marry.
At first when l became engaged
loved this man with my whole
heart, but for the last year I have
noticed faults in him and some
times I feel only coldness and re-
sentiment toward him. When we go
to dances he does not care whether
I have a good time; he only cares
about himself. Sometimes I am SO
neglected that l go home and cry.
At the last dance we attended
one of the young men had a friend
of his from a nearby town. Here
at home everyone knows l am en-
gagged and no one is interested in
me. But this out-of-town man lik-
ed me very much and danced with
me oftener than my f1ance. He was
very anxious to come to see me and
l told him I would write him and
let him know.
l am completely at sea. 1t is not
nv nature TO be tickle and now
that l am engaged l feel that
must go through with it and not
think of anyone else. 1 can't help
thinking of the other man, though,
and since l have met him l have
not even had a feeling of love for
my fiance. The thing that makes
me wonder most is whether l
would be honest in marrying my
fiance when there is someone else
who interests me?
GERTRUDE.
Your liking for the young man
from out of town may be passing
