by Beatrice Reirfax-

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
love a young man one
year older than 1 am. He did love
me, but has been angry with me
for about 16 weeks, because some
boy told him some gossip about
another girl and said told him.
He thinks of me as a liar.
We have had little tiffs before.
but have never stayed angry for
so long. He goes about with all
the other girls and doesn't look at
me. / think he likes me, though.
I will be so grateful to you If
you can tell me how to get him
back. ANXIOUS.
Listening to gossip causes end
less trouble between friends,
sweethearts and lovers.
Do you think. my dear, that a
young man who will cut your &C.
quaintance because some one said
you said something Is dependable,
courteous or fairminded.
If you really wish to continue
his friendship all you can do is to
ignore the gossip and treat him
sweetly. Prove by your life, your
actions and conversation that the
report he heard is a lie as far as
you are concerned. In time he
may regain his confidence in you.
Be careful. my dear. If you value
friendship, love and happiness,
never to indulge in petty per.
sonalities or gossip yourself and
never to pay the least attention to
them when they are repeated to
you by others.
