her very much, and was interested
IN everything she did, but / shouldn't
commit myself to any definite love
making and [ would step far and

Dear Dorothy Dix--A girl who is
working in a married mans office
has caused friction between him and
his wife, who have been living hap

girl in the office. DO you think
