Ring and
Love

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm at the end of my rope.
Last week. the girl on whom I
had staked everything broke
our engagement. The reason
she gave was she didn't love
me.
1 have been in a numb sort
of daze ever since. Life to
me now. is just a matter of
living out my allotted time,
somehow, some way, some
where.
There is no use of my try.
ing to patch up our engage
ment, as I realize if she ever
does come back to me, it will
have to be through her own
willingness.
I still carry the engagement
ring, hoping against hope she
will change her mind and want
it back. AS I said before, I'm
at the end of my rope. E. M.
To have a returned engage.
ment ring in your pocket, at
this season of the year, is too
tragic a situation for any easy
generalities, my dear man, so
I won't attempt them.
But I'll confide that so many
girls have written me, that
after they broke an engagement
the loneliness made them dis
cover how much they really
cared. We might hope for that
in your case.
If this doesn't happen, you'll
have to console yourself with
the thought that it is better
to have a rejected engagement
ring on your hands, than wife
who doesn't really love you.
She Loves Him
Dear Miss Fairfax:
What puzzles me is that she
never tells me that she loves me,
but she does tell her sister, and
her sister tells me. I don't
like this roundabout lovemaking
a little bit. Why doesn't she
tell me she loves me, instead of
telling her sister?
She lets me put my arms
around her sometimes, and she
has taken a ring from me. Yet,
when I ask her if she loves me,
She e just looks like butter
wouldn't melt in her mouth.
WILLIAM.
This young lady of yours
probably belongs to the demure
type, and is opposed to giving
herself away. But, as she tells
her sister she loves you, lets
you put your arm around her
and has taken a ring from you,
really I don't see what you
have to worry about.

course of construction is estimated
at well over 100000. While other in
