ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax.
MISS FAIRFAx:

NEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
- One year and seven months
ago / met q young man with
whom I fell deeply in love. I
often met him, but never went
any place with him that was
very far from home.
Mother did not know OF this
and does not yet. Jack seems
interested in me, but he STAYS
away for two months or SO at q
time. When ] see him, he win
say that he has been very busy
but Is going to try to see me
more often.
Jack asked me for my picture
some time ago, which / gave him.
He gave me his in return.
When / am with him and he
Is talking to me It seems to me
that he cares for me the way I
do for him. But / often wonder
whether I am right. Would he
stay away so long If he cared?
Jack knows I care for him,
and he also knows that there Is
no one else but him for me.
What shall ] say to him the
next time he tells me he has
been too busy to call me up or
see me?
In a way. / don't blame him
Tor not coming, because he
couldn't come in the house, as
my parents are strict and will
not allow us to go with young
men. What really want 70
know is-does he care for me in
the least? How can / win his
love? ANXIOUS ALICE.

Why do you not have an affec-
