went with a chum Of mine TO one OF
our dance halls. whore I very seldom

TO do, There I met a girl, danced with
her few tirAes, Later in the evening

as acted very mildly to her. | re-
ceiVed her permission to escort her
home.
Cynthia, II seemed love at first sight.
She told me that she also very seldom
goes TO dance halls and hespises most
Of the fellows that attend there. That
is, she desp!ses their actions
She then invited me 70 call at her
home. To this I readily responded
and called there the following night.

people, and hearing that l was a col
lege graduate pleased them very much.
went around with this girl for Ave
months, my parents knowing nothing
about 1t. Last week brought the
girl over to my parents home and in.
troduced my girl TO them.
Being OF a very aristocrat.c type,
they readily inquired as to what was
the girls position. She readily an.
swered that she was a saleslady in one
or the large department stores. When
my parents heard Of this they snubbed
her the rest Of the evening This I
readily recognized and took my sweets
out for walk just to avoid tho re-
marks made by my parents. The next
day my parents began to make unfavor-
able remarks about the girl, tina. she
was common saleslady. poor, and that
she was not ft for their son to marry
This made me very angry, and IN my
anger | made a fow remarks that
took hand and said that if ho wouIG
ever see or hear about me gong around
with this girl again he would d!sinhcrl,
me and should never come to his
home again, ] later learned through
my sister that he felt sorry for what
he said
Ny girl does not know that she ls
dlsliked BY the family.
o:ao Now ,vS,l gSnth'a, | am between two
calling ~" 70 her; the girl love so
much, n take the other road know
Il would break her heart. The other
road my parents are calling me to. in a
pTeltS HbN!t, plcHty OF money and.
most OF AL, obeying my parents wishes
can never have the girl | tried ali
sorts OF compromises and pleaded in
vain, but they just don't want the girl
for that rea'on alone. What shall
do? What do tn" readers say TO this
for cannot wait any longer? B2
II your father was sorry for what he
said. you WIN surely bc able to make
him give. in. u the girl Is ladylike ana
nice, what difference does II make
where she works or how much she
nakes2 Do not say anything more
about II at home for a while but wait
until the first excitement has died down
a littlo before making another plea
You are Of age and could marry the
girl without Your parents consent, but
think long and carefully before you
take any step like that II is never n
happy arraneemcnt when family is
separated. cynthia hopes you will be
able to convince your parents thai this
girl In worthy OF their notice. II was
not very arls,ocratlc OF them to snub
her when she WAS calling upon them,
