The Enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 192?-1930, 1928-05-24

Don't talk about your personal
affairs with other boys and girls. II
this boy comes back and wants to
take you out anywhere l advise YOU
to go. Be friendly and dignified
and just ignore what you have heard
but don't let him get the idea that
you are dependent on him for your
good times. | think you are smart
enough to handle the situation in the
right way. What you do or say will
of course depend a good deal on the
way he acts.
Dear Miss White: I have been
reading your column every week in
The Enterprise. ! hope you can help
me with my problem. / went with
boy for over year and loved him
very dearly and knew he loved me.
We were engaged but he went away
to another city to work and at first
he wrote to me often but finally
didn't hear from him at all. Then
later j heard that he went out with
another girl and also had to marry
her which almost broke my heart.
| can't forget him no matter how
hard | try. | think of him every day
although | know l cannot have him
any more. He told his folks not to
tell me he was going to get married
because he didn't want to hurt my
feelings and also many other things,
which looks as if he still cares for
me. l have been going with his
brother for a short time and | know
he thinks a lot of me but don't
care as much about him as he does
me. He wants me to wait until he
gets old enough and then marry him..
/ am &c and he is II. l go to dances
and like to dance but none of the
| boys will ask me. | am really good
! looking and also have nice clothes.
None of the girls in my home town
will talk to me or speak to me very
often. l don't care to go any place
very often as | never have a good
time and have no one to go with as
the fellow / go with now doesn't
come to see me very often as he has
no way of coming. Will you please,
if YOU can, tell me why | can't have
friends like other girls and also If |
should wait for the one | go with or
find someone else, which would be
hard to do.
Well, my letter is probably too
long but if it is just print the an
swer and if this doesn't hit the waste
paper basket, please print it in The
Enterprise soon. | remain your
LONESOME FRIEND.
You can be very sure that the man
you were engaged to didn't love you
enough to make you happy if he had
married you. If he had really loved
YOU he would have been true to you.
Please remember this and it will help
you to forget him. / think his broth
err is too young for you. 1t is a risk
for a girl to marry a boy so much
younger than she is. Sometimes il
turns out all right but statistics seen
to show that where the girl is more
than seven years older than the boy
the marriage is more likely to fai
than to succeed
The sad thing about your letter i:
the hard time you have making
friends. / wish you could find some
one in your town with whom yor
could talk about that. Isn't there 6
pastors wife or an older friend OF
somebody who could tell you what il
the matter? Try to find such &
friend and discover what the trouble
is and if possible remove it. You
have not told me enough so that
can even guess at the trouble, bu'
| think it is very important that yor
should find out and do whatever yot
can to make it possible to have
friends. l hope you will write t.
me again and tell me more about it
