Too Much
Afechon
Lose Loser
BY MARTHA LEE


Bring back my boy friend to me.
cries the lonesome girl.
Every popular girl has learned tllt
art of being independent with hel
sweetheart no matter how sincere
and devoted he seems to be.
II you want to keep up the inter-
est in any male, do not be cling
ing vine.
For, my dear girl when a man
thinks he has girl for his own he
becomes over confident and puts her
I'D on the shelf to dust off occasion
ally or to take out when he feels
the old memory pangS Of love sweep
DER him.
Today my letter is rather pitiful.
The correspondent writes that she
is 20 years old, so I can not say that
her feeling for this man is mistaken
love or puppy love" But let's read
her letter and try to help her:
Dear Martha Lee-I see by the paper
every night that you help other people
with their problems and maybe you can
help me.
I am 20 years old and have been keep
ing company with fellow about the
same age for over two years. We thought
great deal Of each other until two weeks
ago when he started acting queerly. He
hasn't been to my house since that time
and previous to that time We had dates
every night and he always seemed to be
very ealous of me.
He tells ali the fellows he goes with that
he still likes me. but won't give any rea-
son for stop having dates with me.
wonder if I have shown too much affec-
ton FORE him. or do you think it could
be caused from trouble at home?
Martha Lee, would appreciate any adj
vice you can give me because I am aw-
full lonesome for him.
Sally, you must learn from your
own experience now that too much
devotion and too much running
after a man is as harmful as over
doing indifference and being cold to
him. You are old enough to under
stand the advice am trying to i'm
press upon you.
Apparently, as I interpret your
letter, this man has grown tired Of
you, his interest has waned. In
plain words dear Sally, you have
become "stale."
It is hard to face the facts square,
". but unless we consider the prob
lem from every possible angle, we
are liable to miss the point, aren't
we?
Your problem is not a new one;
many letters from lonely girls Tilted
for the time being, come to me.
If young girls only would realize
that a man is not theirs until they
are united as man and wife.
Perhaps you have urged him to
come to see you times when he
wanted to do something else.
Maybe you nagged him because he
ioked with your best chum, or be-
cause he took an old girl pal Of his
home in his car.
Maybe you even were green eyed
Jealous of him and let him know it.
Let the Man Be Jealous
If a girl loves @ man she can't re-
frain from being jealous Of him, but
my dear. don't let him know it.
Let the man be the jealous mon
ster.
If only humans could cast off that
awful feeling termed jealousy.
Don't discuss your lonesomeness
and don't NOPE for him in front Of
your friends or his friends.
If you do, he will learn Of it, if
he is having q squirt of mean indie
pendence. It only will make him
more stubborn and you will gain
nothing.
I know that at times you think
there is nothing in life to live for,
that you would do anything to get
him back: why. you even VOW that
you never would be cross again, you
would always be pleasant and in a
good humor.
It especially is hard to keep your
self from chasing him and throwing
yourself in his path these beautiful
June moonlight nights.
But watch yourself, dear, and one
of these moonlight nights he will be
vending his way back to you.
Don't Be Miserable
Don't make yourself miserable by
telling him IT'S all over" when he
creeps back to you; be a good sport
and let him know that he hasn't
made you the happiest girl in the
world by coming back.
Try some independence on him,
but don't ruin it, or he will wise UP
and detect the game you are playing.
In the meantime, put your inter-
eSts elsewhere.
If you have chance to take other
dates, don't hesitate to do so.
But always remember, Sally dear.
not to put the other boy on too
much" as the COLLEGE students saw
