DEAR MISS LEE: am IS years old and
think rIsht now should be the hsppiest
time of my life But it isn't. Really, Miss
Ice. sometimes I get so discouraged don |
know what 10 do with myself. think II /
had steady friend l might be better on l
never have gone with a fellow steady. they
all seem so silly and talk foolish TO me- But
probably It may Just he NE: I really am
very particular about my company
First 7 get so numerically tired OF the
fellows and then 7 change and run around
with my girl friends and then [ set tired o.
that II is Just the same old thing DAY IN
and day out II seems as though don :
have as good times and cannot enjoy myself
Ike other girls. Why ia 1t, Miss Lee. can
Won tell mes
The fellows I ever knew OF had anything
To do with seem 10 like me we'll enough. 6ut
the trouble IL they don't show me the kind
Of time I like to have They are not at
all popular enough, none OF them cares a
thing about dancing and that Is one thing L
crave. So the type OF Iello% am loo5 look
ing for has not yet arrived So I am stii
living IN hopes that I may come across the
right one some day. --
Answer: Your letter surprises me.
You say the men 'all seem so silly
and talk foolish" I should think
that would be just what you would
like, as all you seem to care about
is that your men friends should be
popular and Grave" dancing, as you
do.
I think it not all improbable that
the trouble IS not with the men, but
with yourself. You have not enough
interests In life. I wonder whether
you read the newspapers and
magazines, TO keep up with current
topics. wonder whether you can
discuss intelligently, new books, new
plays, new movies. even new games.
I wonder whether it ever occurred to
you that the worthwhile men are
not always those who are popular
and dance well. You are looking for
the wrong thing Myrtle.
Instead OF expecting your men
friends to be interested in what In
terests you make yourself take an IN
terest in their affairs. Learn to
crave" other things beside dancing.
At your age. It is not at all necessary
that you have a steady fellow" to
be happy.

ASKS FOR BIRTH CONTROL

About thirty persons attended the
luncheon at the Claypool Hotel Sat.
urday, at which Mrs. Margaret Sanger
spoke on Birth Control" Mrs. Sanger
stated she had mailed 5000 invitations
and it was distinctly discouraging to
find such a lack of response in Indian
apOlis.
She presented the problem very
graphically and told briefly OF the
plans of the American Birth Control
League. She asked that clubs dis
cuss the situation and give IT their
consideration, inasmuch az it is CON
coded by many leading economists to
be one Of the foremost and appallingly
important questions confronting Amer.

DEAR MISS LEE. 7 go with a fellow and
DO wants to marry me. 1 am II and he Is
%. He Is q nice fellow. I love him, bit l
am not sure he loves me Ny mother
thinks am too young TO marry. She SAYS
for me 20 wait about two years. I don I
want TO wait. love him very much and I
think will 20 away and get married
T. ". T. r.
Answer: Your mother is right. You
should be free from the responsibilities
OF marriage for a few more years. If
this man truly loves you, he will wait
gladly until you arc old enough to
marry. And if he does not love you,
surely you would not want to marry
him, and be unhappy.
Do not run away. Your mother is
telling you what she knows is the best
thing for your happiness. Even
though you cannot realize that now,
take her word for it-and mine, please.

From the many letters OF advice for
Heartbroken that have come to me
since the young girl wrote. 1t would
seem practically all Indianapolis is
interested in this problem and eager
to help this girl in her trouble.
Heartbroken. when she was Is,
committed a sin for which she re-
pented at once. Now she is in love
with a man who has asked her to be
his wife. She wants to know whether
she should tell him of her early mis-
take.
Both sides Of tho question have
been argued back and forth, in let
tiers from my readers. Women who
have had similar experiences have told
how they solved their problem. Men
have given their opinions.
Ny answer to Heartbroken was
sent IN a personal letter. The case is
so unusual that I feared to give the
advice publicly. because Others might
think it applied to their problems.
Lack of space kept me from print
ing more Of the letters received. To-
day are published. for the last time,
some Of these letters:
DEAh MISS LEE: Just a word
for Iieactbroken: If you have made
a mistake in life, never marry until
YOU make It right with your f1ance.
-Pell him the whole story. If he truly
loves you, he will love you all the
more for being true to him and not
deceiving him. And. best Of all, your
conscience will be clear.
1 have known two cases Just Hike
yours. Both girls made great mis-
takes early IN life. One girl later
married a fine young man. keeping
her trouble a secret. Six months later
he heard of it He asked her and she
denied 1t. He loved her so much he
thought II impossible for her not to
tell him the truth.
So matters stood for over a year.
AT iast che thought she could not
stand to kSep her secret any longer,
so she told ftm. He felt he had been
deceived and sould not trust her. So
he hugegd ard kissed her. told her
goodbye, and left her. He said that
IL she had told him before he married
her, ne would have married her just
the same and the subject should never
have been mentioned.
The other girl, when she became
told
story. He cried and so did she. In
a short time he wiped away his
tears. looked straight into her eyes
and said; You never before told me
anything that made me love you so
much; for whenever a girl will go to
the bottom and tell about herself
without being asked. you can trust
her" They have been married four
years and are happy.-A READER
