NEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
IL I am a girl. rs years old. and
have been going with a boy a few
months secretly. He has told me
he loves me and wants TO marry.
We have a good many Quarrels.
which last a few days. He tells
me that II we don't marry now.
and even II ! do quit him. he Will
make me marry him when the time
comes. Do you think he slIll loves
me? / have had chances 70 go
with other boys. but have turned
them down. Do you think this is
right for me 70 do? Do you think
! am old enough 10 70 with fel-
lows? BROWNIE.
DROWNIE: 1 certainly do not
ID think that you are old enough
20 have love Affairs. You do not
know your mind. or else you would
not be 50 perplexed. nor would you
keep such things secret from your
family. For your own happiness, do
not consider marriage al your early
age with a boy who is doubtless not
able to incur the responsibilities Of
marriage. Find your real happiness
now in the healthy companionship
OF nice young people. and later you
will laugh over the eventy that seem
TO worry you so now.
