Ry Beatrice Fairfax.
TIME WILL ARRANGE THAT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a high school girl of seven
teen. and deeply in love with a stu
dent two years my senior, who at
tends the same -ehool. Siner child
hood we have been close friends
and have spent a large part of our
lives together. However, our par
ents seem to disapprove of the
match, on account of out youth.
ABUSED.
Your pa'ents are right. You are too
young to marry.
But you are not too young to love. It
seems to me a love affair like yours,
based on a friendship from childhood,
promises an ideal wedded life. Just go
on loving, and wait for marriage till
your parents say you are old enough.
YOU ARE TOO YOUNG.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am an attractive blonde of six
teen. but look to be 21. A few
weeks ago 1 met a young man of
twenty. We were not introduced,
but kept company for four weeks
He was then called out of town on
business, but promised to write,
which he did. After he left town I
found I did not even care for him
as a friend, so did not answer his
letter. He is now returning to my
home town to wot k. Should I apol
ogize. or am I too young to keep
company? SWEET SIXTEEN.
I do not like the manner in which you
made this man's acquaintance. Unless
you know some one who will vouch for
him. let the acquaintance terminate.
You are too young to know men for
vourself.
