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 member hat no man ever laid a good foundation for future advant e'ment by ■ devoting hi.- best years to "calf" love.

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.
