kAbLoue Problems


Dear Miss Blake: I am 81 and
have been keeping steady company
with a fellow IS years old for about
two years. Recently, I found out
that he lied to me about several
things, including his financial cir
cumstances. broke off with him,
but promised to give him a chance
to make good before going out with
any one else. My parents urge me
to break the promise. l.. ID.
Lying is despicable trait. How
foolish any one is to cultivate the
habit, But. then, as almost every
one is inclined to bluff about his
circumstances, l think l should
give him a trial.
Good Luck to You:
Dear Miss Blake: BY accident one
time happened to meet girl.
Since then it seems to me that ]
cannot forget about her. We never
speak, but every time 1 meet her
in the street she looks at me.
Please advise me whether should
speak to this girl or not. :.
