year.
C. RI bought a nice gift for
my fiance' for Valentine but she re-
fuses to let me escort her to the
Valentine dance. Should l give
her this present or take it back?
Ans: Give it to her. The chief
reason that she refuses you the
honor to escort her to the dance
IA that you waited until all the
other girls had made their dates
and she was still waiting for you
to speak up. So one young man
asked her, and she accepted. Next
time you had better act quickly and
don't depend on her going with
you without asking her first.
B. c. was laid off my job last
week and | do try very very hard
when | work. Will | get someone
to help me to get work soon?
Ans: You are sure to get work
to do in a couple of weeks. The
chief reason you were laid off is
that you weren't qualified to hold
down the job that you chose in the
first place. You actually need to
take more business training. Get
work and finish your course at
night.

letter in the mail yesterday and |

Ans: Go right ahead and make
the trip to Florida. You are ex-
pected and the people you are go
ing to visit are making plans to
show you a nice time during your
visit. The letter you received was
written by a very jealous young
lady who isinterested in the same

be much better off never to men,
ton it to anyone.
r. E.-Does this person whom l
think | am desperately in love with
love me enough to come back? Why
did he break away?
Ans: He felt that he had to
make a change. He could marry
you without money enough to live

your trust in him, but I don't think
he will come back the month he
