Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
LET THE MATTER DROP.
Dear .Miss Fairfax:
I ant a young boy. sixteen years old.
Last summer I met a girl the same
age. We were very friendly. When I
came to the city she gavi- me her watch,
and we kept cot responding for a month.
Then she wrote and asked me for her
watch, and I sent it to her. New
Veal’s 1 sent her a card and received
no answer. Then 1 wrote and asked
her if she was angry, and did not get
any answer. E. X .
You are too young to begin the girl
I troubles every susceptible man accumu
lates at some time in his life.
The watch incident was a foolish one.
Now that you have returned it. let your
aequaintam ► with the girl end. Re

foundation for future advant e'ment by

IT CERTAINLY WOULD
Dear -Miss Fairfax:
•There is a young man who ie em
ployed by the firm T used to work for.
I :<>ve him dearly, and, although I have
reason to believe he cares for me a
little. I am almost positive he does not
love me as 1 love bint. I went out
with him once last summer. Once or
twice 1 have asked him to come to the
house. He never firomised. and always
had a very plausible excuse. I would
like to know whether it would be very
wrong for me to tell him I love him.
M. A. K.
The young man has given no evidence
he cares for you. and such an avowal
from you would only humiliate you. If
you can not forget him. at least do not
commit the folly of letting him know
you have given your love unsought. I
am sure t our obiy hope of winning him
lies in showing hint your absolute in
difference.
