MY Dear Janet Probably you've
forgotten my existence by now but
last Saturday night | met you at the
Omega dance, and you told me might
write to you. Now that I'm back in
college, I'm wondering whether you
really meant 1t, and whether you'd
bother to answer me once in a while.
Working like the deuce down here
and always glad to hear from
friend. Hope III get back to town soon
and have chance to see you-that Is
If you'll allow me to. What say

Teddy. dear: OF course I remember
YOU perfectly. | was hoping you'd
write. It's so nice to think you re-
membered me. Do come soon. Dying
to see you. Town is rather dull just
now. Hardly any dances, and no nice
boys. All the best ones are away at
college, of course. When will you be
up to see me? Affectionately, j."
Dear Janet: Certainly was nice to

low several pages about exams, foot

Dear Janet: Certainly was a sur
prise To get your letter so soon. You

down here at the last minute. Awfully
sorry. Hope | haven't put you out, or

hN II up for some other time. Yours
TEDDY"
Teddy. Dear: oh. I'm miserable

nearly broken hearted. II you'd really
wanted To come, YOU might have man
aged somehow. But YOU didn't care
for me enough to try aWfully hard.
Here, I'd planned the most gorgeous
evening. and now it's AL spoiled.
Won YOU try Ia make it for next
week end? There is no one in the
world I'd rather see. | can hold next
Saturday open or make ii any other
night that YOU say, Please come. You
have disappointed me dreadfully. |
thought YOU liked me a little. Don't
YOU? Yours in despair. J"
And then she wondered why she
never heard from him again. Before
you waste reams of paper showing a
boy how anxious you are to see him,
for goodness sake. read his letter over
carefully and make sure that it means
just what YOU think it does
Don't try to read between the lines
and discover tender meanings which
aren't there.
The surest way to scare Your man
away is to appear oVeranXiouS.
