DEAR MISS WHITE: | am a read
er of your column, and because
like the advice you give to those in
trouble, | am coming to you also.
As the usual tale of woe goes,
am girl of 10 and very deeply in
love with a young man, who no
longer cares for me. | met this
fellow about year ago and kept
steady company with him for six
months. During our friendship he
also loved me and proved that he
did in many ways. At this time he
wished to get married, but | wasn't
sure that | loved him and put off
the marriage for one year. A few
months later he told me that he no
longer loved me but that he still
liked me and would very much wish
to keep my friendship.
At present he is going with any
girl he meets. We live in the same
city and occasionally we see each
other. He is always kind to me
and shows in many ways that he is
interested in me. We have never
quarreled and his excuse for his
actions are that he never intends
to get married, and that he doesn't
feel the same about me as he did
when he insisted on marrying me,
Due to our separation | have suf-
fered untold agony. There are weeks
at time when | can't think of any
thing but him. ] have tried to con-
sole myself with other friends, but
haven't found anyone who can take
his place.
Now what | want to ask you is
this: will | ever forget this disap
pointment and is there any way in
which | can win him back?
Your answer will be greatly APP
preciated.
JUST WONDERING.
Yours seems to be another Of The
many unfortunate affairs in which
the girl cares and the man does not
If your friend doesn't love you
enough to marry, you couldn't b.
happy with him. Think how much
better off you are that, as long as
he has changed his mind, he told
YOU of it, instead of marrying you
If you are disappointed now what
do you suppose your feelings would
have been then?
Yes, if you keep on going out
with your friends, if you read and
keep your mind and time so well
occupied that you can not think so
much about yourself nor this man
you will be your own self again be-
fore long and this disappointment
will be but one of the experiences
that go to make up life.
You cannot win the man back il
he does not care for you. Being
pleasant, friendly and natural when
you meet would do it if anything
would. But don't count on that, be-
cause don't think you stand much
chance. Pm awfully sorry, but Just
make up your mind that this affair
is not going to upset you, nor spoi
your life. Really, my dear, there are
so many fine men in the world that
no one of them is worth breaking
your heart over.
Lonesome B.; As much as should
like to help you ! cannot possible ad
vertise for a husband for you MOI
any other reader! This column il
distinctly not matrimonial agency
and you readily understand that
could not assume the responsibility
of putting strangers in communica
ton with each other.
I want you to give up this wilC
idea of rushing into marriage will
a stranger for the sake of a LITTLE
money, providing you could find sucl
person. Busy yourself with club
and various young peoples organiza
tions, go to dances and parties whert
YOU will have an opportunity of max

to yourself to have wholesome recre

a man who will be interested enough
in you to ask you to marry him
Even though he has not great dea
of money you might, by working
too-at least for a while-be able I.
take care of your parents. Or arr
there others beside your parents? i
there are, and any of them are OLE
enough to help, they certainly ough
to be doing their part.
Do try to be sensible and believ
that there is a better way than tn
one which you suggest. | hope yer,
much that all will turn out happil,
for you.
