ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
Beatrice Fairfax

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ Six months ago at my place
Of business ! saw young woman
l liked and told . friend OF mine
so. He said he would introduce
us. as he knew her, but she said
she didn't care to meet me and
called me harsh names.
As we work in the same office
We come In contact with each
other (of course. neither Of us
speaks), but q friend of hers told
me she was sorry for what ahs
said.
Would you advise me to ask
my friend to INTRODUCES us or
should be man enough to speak
to her myself
Don't sit around brooding over
the reports your friend brought
back to you. Things always are
bit different by the time they are
carried from one person to another.
Perhaps the girl did not admire the
man who offered to introduce you.
Perhaps his report OF you did not
impress her very well. And Il may
even be that she has q foolish i'm.
pulse to make herself seem more
desirable by pose Of indifference.
In any event. why have an enemy
instead of friend7 Since you
work In the same office, the only
thing to do, from the point OF view
Of courtesy, In to speak to her az
you would to any other fellow EN-.
ploye. Just be sensible and done
take things for granted and don't
stress your interest to the point
OF being annoying. And probably
out OF this a sane and sensible
friendship will arise.

Your infant deserves, first of

A reliable rule Of method has
