Friends
BY MARTHA LEE

Sometimes a girl is faced with the
difficult situation in which she must
choose either the friendship of a
young man whom perhaps some day
she would like to marry and that of
a dear girl friend.
1t is unfortunate for any girl to
have to make a choice such as this.
BY using tact, a girl can keep both
these friends who mean SO much to
her.
Humans are constantly getting
into awkward situations by the old
habit that has come down through
the ages, talking and gossiping
about other persons" A girl who
has aroused the antagonism of her
two best friends, a young man and
woman, has probably talked about
the one to the other, chanting his or
her praises, telling of the things
which she has done with the young
man or woman, i'll which the other
person has played no part.
Naturally, anyone would resent
this other girl or young man, who
seemingly occupies the entire at
tention of this girl. Cultivate the
wonderful quality Of "reticence
about personal affairs"
Use a little tact and make the
person who is with you feel as
though his or her actions and
thoughts we're of primary i'm
portance to you. I am sure you will
be able then to avoid the making
a choice between your two best
friends, a young man and a young
woman.
Dear Miss Lee; I have been going with

Dear r. c.: 1t is possible for you
to keep both a best girl friend and
the friendship Of the young man.
Divide your day so that you perhaps
luncheon with this girl friend or go
to a matinee with her on the after
noon you are not working and see
this young man in the evening. Do
not let them meet, because that only
arouses their animosity toward one
another. Since your grandmother
sees this young man occasionally
let her tactfully inform him that
your interest in him is Just as strong
as it was before this quarrel.
Be wise young woman and leave
all mention of each one out Of your
conversation. Why feed the flames
CO jealousy? Another thing. my
dear. since this young man has pro-
posed and you want to mary him
you will be forced to give him the
preference in the various difficulties
which might arise.
Teddy-Since your in-laws are
imposing upon your husbands gen.
erosity the only thing for you to
do is to convince your husband of
the futility of giving them money.
They have proved that they care
nothing for either of you or your
husband by the forging of the note.
For all indications in what you
wrote me, I should cay that they
are INSCRIPTIONS persons who prob
ably will get you and your husband
into more trouble later on.
In regards to the note. your hus-
band had better consult q lawyer
Immediately about it because this
man who received the judgment can
levy his claim against your hus-
bands property if your husband
fails to pay the amount of his claim.
OF course, perhaps your husband
would rather pay the note than
have his dead fathers dishonesty
become known. That is up to you
two to decide.
You will not be bothered with
these leeches if your husband stops
financing them. They are not in
