After we separated, | met jim.
He was so nice to me that | fell
in love with him. He says that
he loves me, but not as much as
| love him. He has been in love
with another girl who did not
treat him right and | believe he
still loves her.
Ny husband has been away but
he says that he still loves me, and
wants a chance to prove it. / am
getting my divorce now. What do
you think l ought to do.
WORRIED
When love is dead, there is
nothing else tc do bu. swing clear
of the man. Get your divorce, but
would suggest that you do not
rush headlong in'o marriage with
Jim or anyone else. Think first
of your child who is going to
need the care of 4 father, who
will love and understand it. You
will have plenty of time to find
someone to love and love you.
Be wise. don't ever let a man
know how much you love him.
Some will like it, others will
abuse it

more to it than the thought.
Begin soon in life not 10 have
your life governed by what peo-
pie say. People don't know every
thing about everything. They
gossip and that is all. Don't lei

piness.
On the other hand, you are
too young to have a fellow for
bidding you to talk with and en-
joy the company of other fellows.
This should not be permitted.
Even if you are his "steady" girl,
he has no right to tell you what
to do about your friends. Have a
let of friends. girls and boys, and
enjoy yourself. Time enough to
think of set ling down to one
fellow. In the meantime, you may
meet some older boy you may Ike
