Dear Cynthia-I read with much in.
terest your column every evening, and
until now have had no occasion to write
you for your valuable advice. ! have
been going with a young man for the
last two years. He Is straightfor-
ward, honest, upright young man. has
no bad habits at all. Is a conscientious
financially I took a great liking to
him at the beginning. and after seven
months we became secretly engaged.
though the engagement has not yet been
announced. He has vast amount Of
neat in appearance. He does not wear
sailor.bottomed trousers. neither is his
coat slit up to his neck. He is very
gallant, is a good dancer (no freak
steps, has serse Of humor, a good
personality and Is a man In every sense
OF the word. He also owns an auto
mobile.
What more could girl desire. and
HI frankly admit that I am very proud
Of him. He Is very much in love with
me, but ! can't say that the feeling is
mutual any more | find that I an,
actually longing to go with some cnA
else for a change, and II l even as much
as suggest Il to him he has such a
disappointed expression on his face and
pleads with me not TO go with any one
else, saying that IL there Is anything I
! want or any place I care to go, Just
say the word. as my word is law. I
think that is where the, trouble lies;
l am too sure of him. I know where
he Is and what he Is doing every night
in the week. He tells me. know all
the ms and outs Of his private affairs.
me, in" on all Of his private business
and would keep me in the dark and
guessing where and how he spends the
other nights that he isn't with me. and
say nothing doing to some Q, my

who's who and what's what around

hair and break my neck to get him
back again and would think 100 per
red and live happily ever after, But
no. he can't see. 1t that way. I know
he loves me, and know I'm cad for
feeling the way I do,
He's wonderful boy for any girl
but l can't force myself TO love him
I have even tried 70 pick a little scrap
! with him so that he'd leave me for

He's too good to me. My friends tell
him, but l can't do, that. don't have

hurt. We are planning to be married
next year and he Is going TO buy mo a
home and furnish II complete for me.
Somehow or other this letter doesn't
seem to express my feelings at all.
But, Cynthia. perhaps you can read
between the lines and grasp my mean
ing. He'd make an ideal husband, but
I'd rather live In one room with tsc
man I love than In mansion with the
man | don't love. ! have tried telling
him about tho situation, but he won't
listen He says he could never lear
TO love any one else. Please dent think
UNWORTHY.
Cant you arrange to go away for n
little while to visit some one In another
city, where you will not sea this man
Then you can see other people and
think cut your problem quietly. IL you
don't love him. don't force yourself 10
marry him. Eut perhaps you will find
that you do when you have been away
from him for while.
