Helpful Advice to Girls
By ANNIE LAURIE

him II I didn't do something pretty
quick. and I cared too much for
him to let him get away from me.
Mother and Dad thought the world
and all OF him too. SO I thought
there was only n thing to do. and
this Is what I did.
I wrote him a letter and signed
this other girls name TO IT, 1
made It read Ike she wrote 20 him.
and the things ! said in II were 70
trouble between him and
this girl.
That part worked out fine-he
really thought this girl wrote the
letter and never went hack 70 e
her.
Then II went quite awhile before
I had another date with him. 7
called him up one evening and
asked him over to supper. After
supper we went 70 a show. then
We went home. and all OF this
time he didn't say ove ten words.
When We got home ] asked him
what was wrong. he explained the
whole thing 10 me. he said he never
had anything against me or my
parents. but he couldn't love me
any more. for he had fallen IN love
with another girl and could never
love anyone else.
Then he told me about this let
ter that she was supposed 10 have
written him. re said that he really
didn't think that she wrote II. but
because OF sone things in the let
ter, he thought too much OF her TO
20 hack and find out.
So YOU see my plan didn't work
out. I only made things worse. and
now / am very sorry that I caused
him and this other girl to fall out,
for ne doesn't love me any more
and I am only keeping him from
the girl he really loves.
How can ] fix things 60 he and
this girl can go hack together.
without their finding out that I
was the cause OF their separating?
