IL there IS anything in Il, you

The lines OF the letter that you

YOU will determine. the best angle.
And try to train your eye to see

Marie, dear. men are not really
mysterious; they are very simple
as 4 rule when It comes TO the
emotions. Your friend Is not try
Ing for any deep reason to conceal
his love for you. If he were In
love with you he would seek your
companionship, you may be sure
Of that, especially as there has
been no quarrel.
When a man constantly seeks
your society he is interested In
you. perhaps fascinated. Only
when he asks you to be his wife
Is 1t wise to assume he is ia love
with you.
Under the circumstances, II you
asked HIN why he acts as he does,
he would lie politely or else tell
you frankly that he Is not espe-
cially interested.
