Girls Cling
Too Long to
Fading LOUe
BY MARTHA LEE

The degree of tenacity with which
q woman viii cling to a sutton,
whose love is waning. Is remark
able.
Letters pour in each week from
girls and women whose lovers have
grown cool" begging to know how
TO win back their love.
I wonder if any Of these women
ever have had a rich chocolate soda,
with a big piece Of heavy chocolate
LAYER cake. followed by repeated
nibbles from a box Of bon-bons.
Have they ever known the feeling
that would follow such an orgy? If
they have, they can understand the
way a man must feel after diet of
100 much feminine sweetness.
Too Much Affection
Not long ago I received a letter
rom a young man, complaining be
cause his sweetheart demanded he
keep telling her how much he loved
her, and keeping caressing her, and
that it was killing all the love he
ever had for her.
Some women are so fashioned
that they are unhappy unless they
can lavish their affection on the OBJ
iect of their devotion. They excuse
heir actions on the grounds that
hey naturally are affectionate. If
response is lacking, they accuse
ne other Of being disinterested.
Indifference Is Aid
Can't YOU women realize that
lack Of interest on your part is the
best means Of a return Of interest
in Q man2 Love can't flourish en-
tirely on a diet OF kisses. There has
to be a firmer foundation. Too
much kissing interferes with the es-
tablishing of that foundation.
All the kings horses and all the
kings men can't put love back to-
gether again. once it Is gone. The
only one that can restore it is the
one in question. Let me give you a
pointer.
Never let a man know that you
can't live without him.
If he appears Indifferent, give him
a dose of his own medicine. If he
really is interested he will come
back, If only to find out where his
charm failed. If his indifference
is permanent, you viii have the
satisfaction of having kept your in
fatuation a secret.
Worried Over Finance
Dear Martha Lee am 20 and the
young man in question is %. We had
gone together for year and q half, and
we're engaged. During that time. two
people could not have been happier.
Eight months ago. things started chang
ing. He became sarcastic and disinteg-
ssted. Instead Of growing better. things
grew worse. One night feeling quite
miserable. accepted an invitation TO go
out, and nv fance heard OF It, It seemed
TO be the chance he had been looking for.
SO be broke with me.
7 worried about It until 7 was almost III
Every one told me I would forget If I
would accept Invitations. and 90 out. I
have tried this, I have been thrown with
nv former fiance and things are worse
than before. 1 know III never love any
one else. I've done everything. and he
won't forgive me.
Return Assured
Maybe Won think I enjoy being unhappy
but can't get him out OF my mind Can
you suggest any way to get him back?
HOPEFUL.
You say you have tried every
thing. Have you tired doing moth
ing? Meet his indifference with q
similar attitude. Don't assume a
woe-begone expression when you see
him, but look him straight in the
eye, and mentally snap your fingers.
You'll be surprised how much bet
ter you'll feel when it is accom-
plished. After several such occur
enceS, when he calls you to see why
YOU don't still feel badly (and I'm
sure he wild. be nice, but be busy.
He'll try again.
