MUCH may be said as to the

quantities of iron and other valu.

TtHE problem OF unreciprccated
= love presents two distinct
phases. The first OF these-how to
find solace for q broken heart
has frequently been dealt with in
this column. The second Is less
often the subject Of letters / re-
ceive: How can a girl be fair and
kind to q man who loves her. when
she does not return his love?

you ever considered the problem

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ ! have fallen deeply in love
with a man about three years my
senior. I did not care for him
when first met him.
He hinted q couple of times
about dates, but I did not give him
any encouragement then. Now
all his conversation with me is
joking.
Please advise me as to how
can show him I would appreciate
his companionship. IDA.
THE next time you give . little

home. why do you not number
him among your guests?
II he comes, see that he has
such a charming time he will wish
to come again. And invite him
cordially to come again.

tragic for all concerned.

to do so? Give friendship it's
