He Double Crossed Her

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I fell in love with a girl who
is very beautiful, indeed. She
claimed she loved me. Well,
one day I made a date with
her and, as luck would have
it, an old acquaintance was
there. I double-crossed the
girl I really loved. Since then
she won't even look at me. 1t
was all my fault. I've sent
notes of apology, and done
everything to show 1 am
sorry. Since she gave me up
can't sleep. I am ashamed
of myself and would do any
thing to prove my sincerity.
I'm almost sure your advice
will help me. L. C.
How can I make any sugges.
tions in your case when you
leave me entirely in the dark as
to what you said or did? If
you said or did anything un-
forgiveable, and the girl will
not accept your plea for for
giveness, I'm afraid you'll have
to grin and bear it. Time is the
great healer. Why not wait till
things have blown over a little
and then renew your attempts
at reconciliation. Meantime, II
you can afford it, you might
try sending her floWerS-few'

going round with young men
I made the discovery that the
girl who puts up with the most

But after while I got dis
guSted with myself for letting
some silly boy, reeking with
bathtub gin, kiss me. It was
just too disgusting. So I've de-

are some decent men left in the
world! Don't you thing so?

There are tons of decent men
to be found in every village,

meet them on a petting party
where bathtub gin circulates.

new leaf, and I hope you find
happiness written upon it.
