ALIcE L.”’ - My dear Alice, is it possible that you are fool- ish enough to ‘or you? Let this fellow go and wait until some- ‘one loves you well enough to wish to come to you. Then you will have a lover worth having. Above all things, do not let the young man see how you feel toward him. «J am desperately in €;- ’ 4 uy would like to ask you what you think of my cease, I am eeeporately in love with a splendid “young man. We have been engaged three years. ‘He is always talking about our home we are to have, and wishing that we were married, but never saying when we are to be married. I think that he loves me, as he says he loves me better than anything in the world. I think he is sincere as he spends all his spare time with me and never has any other girl friends. We have been going together four years. Do you think he will ever marry me? GRACE G,”’ _ ‘The young man is certainly taking his time; but, perhaps, he is trying to save money enough to pay for the home he is always talking about. You have been engaged long enough to feel free to talk to him on this subject, so why not ask him to tell you his plans for the future.

If you are engaged, that means that he has already asked you to marry him, and why should he ask you if he did not want you? If he is slow in asking you to setthe wedding day, there is no reason in the world why you should not suggest it. Tell him when you are ready to marry and see what he “Says, —_— — “T ama young girl about sixteen years of age, and I attend many parties and stay out rather late. Father does not approve of it.

I am seventeen years of age, and think a great deal of a girl fifteen years old, She is, however, unlike other girls in that she is extremely reasonable, sensible and intellectual. Her mother is with us whenever we go out in the evening. While I am with the girl { am filled with a sensation which I have never experienced before and which is decidedly pleas- ant and agreable. While I am home and away from her I feel as if there was something lack- ing, and there seems to bea void which is only filled when Iam in hercompany. She writes an tter, and I am always happy upon receiving one. I am quite sure I love her, anyhow. I think a good deal of her. She is young in years, but is two or three years older in actions and words. “T have read all of the ‘Queens,’ and mean to keep on with them as I like ‘Marion’ very much. I have one of her traits in that I am not afraid to say whut I mean, and then mean what I say. “Bia. If you do not really love the young lady, we should say that you were very near to it. There is no doubt but that a longer acquaintance will develop into love, and as you are both too young to marry you can wellafford to await that devel- opment. There are a great many girls who are ‘“‘reasonable,’”? ‘‘sensible’’ and ‘‘intellectual,’’ and they are all intended to make some worthy young men happy, but not until their studies are ended and their characters developed are they old enough to marry. We trust that youare mak- ing yourself worthy of her inevery way, and that exceptionally good le you will wait three years, at least, before you - ask her to marry you. “There are some boys around my home every night to see me. I am only sixteen years old and the three boys are seventeen. Do you think it is right for me to have fellows? Epiry K.” If you consider them in the light of lovers or “fellows,” as you call them, we can say emphati- cally that we do not think it right. If they are merely nice boys, who are on the lookout for innocent amusement, there is no reason why you should not invite them in and entertain them if your parents are willing.
