Dear Annie Laurie: I am Is years
OF age and I 60 with a young man
year my senior. We love each
other very much and he has asked
me to marry him. OF course, we
wouldn't get married for a few years
but here is my problem. The other
day / learned that his father had
committed suicide. DO you think
that this should keep me from
marrying him?
He is a wonderful boy, my parents
approve OF him. and we get long fine
together. I have never met his family.
as they live in another town. but
do you really think that I should
give him up for something like that?
Annie Laurie. IL would break his
heart If 1 would ever leave him
because he loves me dearly. and I
love him.
WORRIED
Worried: My dear I cannot see that
this should have any effect whatever
on your love for each other. The
young man cannot be held response
bic for his fathers action and 1t can
not reflect on him in any way. So
Just put the whole thing out Of
your mind and be happy In your
love.
Dear Annie Laurie: I am a girl
OF sixteen and In the second year
of high school. I met a boy who
is twenty-one years old at q party
a few weeks ago and the third
time / saw him he told me he loved
me and he wants me 10 60 with
him. He also said I was the first
girl that he ever loved. He seems
To be real nice and people speak good
Of him. DO you think I'm too young
TO 90 with him? And do you think
I should listen TO what he says about
loving me?
Mickey.
Mickey: You are too young.
Mickey. to be thinking serious
thoughts of love and marriage. Tel
the young man that you do not care
to accept his attentions IN a serious
way until you are through school.
But / can see no harm in keeping
him for a friend.
| Dera Annie Laurie: In August / met
a wonderful fellow. and he has a q
and took me 10 ride every evening.
He always told me that ] wanted
him for his car, but I loved him, and
I would have done anything in this
world for him. I went with him
steady" for about four months. and
we had a fight. Then I wrote him
two letters telling him that l wan
ted him back and that / was sorry
for the way I treated him. But he
did not answer the letters. ] am sure
he loves me. but will not give IN. !
telephoned him tonight (which) was
the first for four or five months)-
7 asked him If he was still mad at
me-. and he said Yes. I could
hardly speak and I told him l
was sorry. and wanted 10 talk 70
! him. but he said No" Please tell
me how I can win him back again,
for 1 really love him.
Bell.
Bell: If I were in your place.
nv dear. Id take my heart of my
sleeve and utterly ignore the young
man. even though my heart would
break in the ATTEMPT. Evidently ne,
is so sure Of your love and so Tat
tered by your wanting him back
that he is deliehting in hurting you.
Why not give him some OF his own
medicine7 Don't let him think you
are sitting pining and waiting for
him. He acted in a very ungen-
tlemanly way by not accepting your
apology and to my way OF think
ing his friendship isn't very valu-
able. Cultivate your other friends.
Go around rs much as you can. Let
him see that ne isn't the only man
in the world. and as soon as he
finds out that you are sought by
others he will come back, / am sure.
But don't NOPE. and for goodness
sake. don't lower your pride by tax
ing another step in MS direction,
Have many friends. and In this way
show him that you are not Deepen
dent on him for companionship,
This treatment invariably works,
and I hope II will in your case
