Every day, when my mail comes
in, and 1 start to open the letters,
I get psychic. I have feeling,
when I look at that fresh pack that
today some new and interesting
problem will come to my notice;
some altogether unparalleled intri-
cacy of life that one has ever heard
about, and, of course, am immedi-
ately discouraged in my activity to
discern things.
For when I open the pink en-
velopes, there are always letters
from girls suffering from unrequited
love: the blues from women who
are having trouble with their home
life, and the white from men who
are all muddled up about some
thing OF otner in this thing called
life.
Not that all the problems are not
different. They are as individual
as the persons who write them, but
fundamentally the same.
The boy who wants to marry
girl who seems to love him but who
wants story book marriage comes
first. His letter follows:
Dear Miss Lee-I never dreamed that
would ever 90 so far as to consult
some one whom I have never seen re-
garding the most personal subject I can
think Of and that is love. I have read
your articles in The Times for several
years. and feel I shtuld almost know
you II I saw you on the -treet.
/ am % and the girl in question is
six months my senior. although she could
sssily pass for 10 or 10, as far as appear
anee goes. She is an attractive girl We
have a number o. things in common re-
garding our home lives. We both work
in the same Office and It was there that
drst met hei, although II was about
eighteen months before asked her for
a date.
We have been going together ever since.
That was more than two years ago.
was never so happy in my life and she
used to say the same thing until bout
eight months ago, when. after little
misunderstanding We had. she said she
was not sure that she loved me any
more. don't believe anything in the
world could have hurt me more than
the thought that might lose her.
The same thing has happened several
times since. I decided to call things of
definitely. and she viii be so sweet to me
for a few days. that I am back again.
more in love with her than ever before.
We would have been married by now.
but didn't make enough for both Of us
70 live on and she says she would never
marry II she had to continue working.
don't blame her. as she has had to work
for so long IN order to have the nice
things that girls love. I don't want her
TO have to work. It would be difficult to
work in the same office with a husband
or wife, anyway.
We had planned upon being married late
this past fall. Neither of us have men
toned II lately. I wanted so badly to
have our marriage take place. but I feel
shy about mentioning it since these mis-
understandings. which were Of that trivial
nsturc that Just have a way of spelling
things. I have tried to be reasonable, but
I'm Just about giving up hope. If you can
give no better suggestion, I am going to
call things OF for q month or so.
UNDECIDED
Did you expect her to remind you
that you were to have been married
in the late fall? Naturally, she
would feel reticent about mention
ing the fact, if you never did. That
may even be the reason for your
quarrels. BY all means ask her if
the marriage is still on the books.
1t will at least give her an indica-
ton that you remember that you
asked her. If she is not ready to
get married, or does not set
definite date give her a month or
so to, think it over, as you have
planned.
And in the pink envelope:
Dear Miss Lee-I am 10 and in love
with boy about the same age. He says
he loves me. but something has happened
that has made me wonder. A few nights
ago he asked me to go to dance. told
him I would. My girl friend was sup
posed 20 go with his brother. The boys
had to go UP early, so We we're to meet
them there. When we came In they
spoke, but never pretended they were sup
posed to be with us. We dance with
some of the fellows we knew and they
got mad. What do you think of them?
BROKEN HEARTED.
I think you scared them half out
of their wits by being so serious.
Boys IS want girls to like them, but
doubt very much whether they
relish the thoughts of being Violent
~ loved by two girls as young and
eager as you two. Next time try to
be good friends. 1t will help no
end.

Here is a Question
Dear Miss I,ee-There is a debate
going on between a couple as to
why a girl closes her eyes while
being kissed. Maybe you can help
us out by giving us an explanation.
Just Two"
Not having seen the boy, would
be unable ia state def1nitely-but
vas that a personal observation?
