Thinks She Loves

Dear Martha Lee: I wish you could
tell me what could do. I met fellow
three weeks ago and at first he seemed
awfully interested in me and asked for
several dates. have not heard from him
now for several days and am afraid that
soemthing is keeping him away.
Now. Miss Lee, love this young man
and ! certainly would hate to lose him
What shall do2 I know where his folks
know their street address or his fathers
name. Do you suppose that If just put
their sons name on and send 1t to this
town that 1t would get to him?
Don't write at all. How can you
reason that that is a sensible thing
to do? Having known the, young
man only three weeks, it's very un-
likely that you love him and it's
quite likely that he scarcely is
aware of your existence. 500
AS it has been only a few days
since you have heard from him, at
least wait a reasonable time before
giving this single anxious thought.
If you care greatly for his regard,
try to not let him know that you
have such serious thoughts cbout
him. Otherwise he may become
frightened of such cave-woman
tactics.

She called the girls diamonds.

plain to the dull ones how to
become clear and sparkling, and
to the bright ones how to keep
their luster. ITO do this is to keep
