Just Between Us
by VALERIE WAKEFIELD

strength to tell him yourself there
will be others who will do 1t for you.
You, Mrs. T. j. K. had better
start adding up the score and re-
make your life before your side Is
out.
Dear Miss Wakefield:
I'm 20 years old and have a very
good job in local chemical plant.
My home life is ideal. i have ev-
erything a girl could ask for except
one thing.
guess my story is nothing new.
It's just that / have discovered that
I'm in love with my boss. He Is
quite bit older than ] am and is
married. don't know if he's happy
with his wife or not because he
seldom talks about It at the office
or to his friends.
III / felt the thing was one sided
then 1 think / could talk myself
out Of it eventually but constantly
have the feeling that he feels the
same way about me. He has never
said anything to me or indicated
that he cares. It's just something
that I sense.
1t would break my mothers heart
to know that ever started carrying
on with a married man but
I can't help the way I feel.
Miss Wakefield do you think
that I should forget about him en-
tirely or do you think that should
follow my heart and show him that
1 care and hope for the best.
Hope that you answer soon since
your answer will mean a turning
point in my life.
Worried"
Dear Worried:
Indeed, my dear girl, you have
cause to be worried. Too many girls
have ruined their lives carrying on
silly infatuation with their boss.
First of all, get this into your head:
Your boss is not in love with you.
They never are. Don't mistake his
signs of friendlineSs for love. He
may think you attractive, might
even like you and show it but all
that is long cry from being in
love with you.
Many men enjoy leading young
employee on who fooliShly accepts
his conversation as coming from
the heart. You'd be surprised to
know how many of these men go
home at night and enjoy telling
their own wives about the silly girl
back at the office who thinks she
has captured the love of the he
man boss. It's all part of the game
that helps to break up the day at
work. Consider it no more.
If you think you are too weak to
throw off this infatuation get your
self transferred to another depart
ment or even to another job. Let
me know IN few weeks how this
suggestion has worked out. 1 am
sure a change of scenery wouldn't
hurt you one bit.
Dear Miss Wakefield:
We became engaged while still at
school and then he entered the SER
vice. He's been overseas for two
years and at first he wrote regu-
larry. Then we began to drift apart
and wrote spasmodically.
He said that he loved me and
wanted to marry me as soon as he
came back from overseas but i could
not wait and told him that every
thing was all off between us. Now
find that 1 really love him but
don't know how to write and tell
him that.
What should I do, Valerie? Should
/ tell him that 1 still love him and
ask him to forgive me or should j
just forget him and try to find
happiness with someone else?
miss E. L. S."
My dear Miss E. L. S.:
What a pity you have so foolishly
thrown aside someone you really
love. Since it is you. alone, who
seeks advice and not the man you
threw overheard / can suggest no
more than you open your heart to
him, confess your first weakness
and beg his forgiveness.
Perhaps, your man is made OF
sterner stuff and still loves you
dearly even though you cast him
aside. Perhaps his endearing love
will overshadow the hurt you must
have given him.
Yes, my dear girl, by all means
make an attempt to win him back,
and if you are successful consider
yourself a very fortunate woman
Brave men, who daily risk their
lives overseas. don't deserve the
fickleness that is too often displayed
by their sweethearts at home.
Sincerely, 1 pray you will still
find him waiting.
