TO THE
LOVELORN

MISS FAIRFAX:

~ / am in great trouble and
am turning to you for advice.
am in love with a married
man who loves me as much as
do him. His wife is returning
home from a long visit soon. I
know that will want to die when
she returns. because 1 will have
to give him back to her. l am
desperate. What shall l do?
Have been so terribly wicked
to love him? l am a single girl,
% years old and am quite good
looking. I dress and dance well.

do not care for any of them.
am writing this little note
from the office at which am
employed. I want you to believe
that / am really in earnest and
need good, sound advice from
some one who Is an authority on
such matters, as you are.
DAISY D.
You have been foolish and indis.
Greet, Daisy, believe, rather
than deliberately wicked. But il
you were to go on farther with
this love affair, now that you
realize where it is leading and
what the Inevitable result will be.
you will be doing what is as
wrong as it is criminally foolish.
OF course, this married man be-
longs legally and morally to an
other woman. A girl who even
flirts with a married man delib-
erately plays with fire. Don't
you realize that attentions from
a married man are merely an i'm
pertinence and insult, however
pleasantly disguised they may be-?
Summon all your courage, my
dear, and break off this affair.
which can lead only to loss OF
self-respect and finally TO crush.

since he Is not free to marry you.
