ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
The Suspicious Fiance.

My friend, before proposing
to me, told me Of his past mar
riage, etc. I accepted him, as
the marriage was already an
nulled before he met me. I
forgave past mistakes. etc.
Now, I have been engaged to
him for five months. At q. re-
cent affair a friend of his told
him that his former wife for
wartled regards to him. He, in
return, asked If she was mar
ried again. I am now feeling
greatly worried. as feel a wom-
an with no pride is a danger
GUS person. InaSmuch as the
marriage was annulled, was it
proper for her to forward her
regards? I will await you de-
cision with great anxiety. S.
WOULD you want to marry a
man who had 90 little kind
ly feeling that he didn't care
whether or not a woman he had
once fancied himself in love with
was happy? BY the same token.
why shouldn't woman send her
regards to man who once was
everything to her? Unless your
fiance had been a harsh brute.
the woman to whom he was once
attractive would naturally feel
something of interest in him. If
you permit yourself to indulge
in narrow-minded suspicious and
jealousy. you are going to ruin
your own happiness. The Incl
dent you relate shows that the
man you love is a very decent,
worthy individual, and that de-
spite their blunder, he and the
"other woman" can testify of one
another that each Is a pretty
good sort.
