DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:

~ ] am seventeen and ] have q
problem that I would like to have
solved.
Several years ago I became ac-
quainted with q very good looking
young man and shortly after
meeting him / received a wonder
full letter from him. We kept a
steady correspondence for about
six months. when he stopped writ
ing. l wrote him several letters.
but Gid not receive any reply.
He told one OF my boy friends
that he really and truly loved me.
But really he hasn't shown any
OF his lows TO me. Last year for
Christmas he sem me a very beau
tiful and costly gift. He wrote
several letters after that and then
suddenly stopped writing again. /
wrote him again, thinking that !
could win him back. but IL was all
In vain. What shall ! do? The
thing that seems 50 queer II that
when he see me he always smiles
and speaks 10 me- Do you really
think that he loves me? What a
! do 10 win him back? And what
shall ! do when ] see him again.
Would II be vulgar to talk to him
about this matter. and tell him
how ! feel about II. or shall I for
get him? A LONESOME PAL
A LONESOME PAL: Simply treat
IA ths young man a. a friend. my
dear. II he truly loved you he
would not act this way. His studies
may occupy a lot Of his time and Re
really should keep his mind on them
instead OF love. You're both toe
young and too easily impressed A
keen interest in a person doesn't
imply love. He may have had a
bad case" but that happens SO fire.
auently IN youth that one doesn't
take IL seriously. just treat him in
a friendly way and perhaps you'll
find out some time Just how much
he thinks OF you. Don't for good
ness sake. talk 10 him about how
you feel. FOR that would be the

they died he didn't get over it.
He hated life and did not like people and
when he laughed there was a deep, bitter
cynicism about the laughter.
When he died the other day he left his for

And it was all because Of an old quarrel
