Advice to Girls
By NANCY LEE


DEAR NANCY LEE:
= / am a girl in my late teens
and have come to you for a little
advice.
There is a young fellow from a
distant town that like very
much and he told me that he cares
a great deal for me. too. IL seem
at every dance | attend he's there.
He always dances with me and
asks 10 take me home. which I let
him do. Just recently I was az a
dance and he also was there. He
had one dance with me and the
rest or the evening he acted very
cool. / don't know what happened
to him and mt the end he took an
other girl home. The next day I
wrote him and asked him why he
acted SO funny but ! never got ar
answer from him.
DO you think I should write him
again or should I just try 10 forget
him?
I've had him 10 my nome and
have been with him a lot and I
like him very much because he's
nice. BUCKLES.
buckles: The young man may
~ be nice but he certainly has a
very strange way OF living UP TO that
qualification. ! should think your
own common sense would advise you
not 10 write again, but to remain
perfectly Indifferent When you do
see the young man again Just be
pleasant; do not let him guess that
the incident is still on your mind.
Seek other friends who are not 20
changeable and Life will Be more
pleasant for you
