brother and became great friends.
But when he and I go about
together she seems jealous and is
mean to me. Shall I continue to
20 about with her? Or shall ]
give UP my friendship with her
brother? / love him very much.
ANXIOUS RUTH.
There is no reason I can see,
judging from your letter, why you
should give UP either friendship.
Be sweet to both of these good
friends.
Try to disregard any little fits
of jealousy on the part of your
chum. These are. Of course,
unjustified.
In time she will realize that she
is not in any sense losing her
brother because he appreciates
your friendship. We do not lose
affection by sharing it. Then she
win take a more sensible. sane
view of the matter.
