STE “IT saw in the correspondence column of ‘My Queen’ that you gave the girls good advice, and thought perhaps you would help mein my trou- ble. I am a young man of eighteen, and have been going with a girl that ean catch any man she wants to, she has such a winning way about her. We have been going together about seven months, and I love her and told her so, and she said my love was returned. seemed awfully cold towards me, and used me mean. There is another girl that she is jealous of, but I never gave her any cause to beso. Do you think jealousy is the reason she is so cold towards me, and goes with other fellows? I have worried so much that I have lost twenty pounds. ‘(HARVEY D.”’ We are very glad to hear from you, as we are from any of our young men readers. As far as we can judge, the young lady is inclined to be fickle. If she is cold to you and goes out with other men, it is fair proof that her interest in you has de- clined. If she was jealous of you she would probably try to monopolize you and keep you away from the other girls. Since she enjoys other men’s society more than yours we would advise you to let her go and not waste any time in worrying or losing any flesh over it. You are young enough to find lots of other girls quite as attractive, and if you did not become attached to any one woman forten years it would be the best thing that could happen to you. - _ —_— “Tam a young girl of eighteen and would like a little advice.

Your letter is a sad one, and we hasten to— reply. Considering her youth, we are not very much surprised at your wife’s peculiar actions. | We presume she has ‘‘gone home to mamma,” — where she ought to have stayed for several years” longer before she married you. No girl of seven- teen is fitto become a wife. Her nature and sen- timents are not sufliciently developed. Try and — | win your wife back by kindness and courtesy, — and when she is once more under your roof, en- deavor to make her so happy that she will never care to leave you. We are sure that you can do- this if you try,and certainly no effort can be- more praiseworthy and noble. 4 * Rura AND Doretta.—We regret that you do not | allow us to publish your letter.

If your parents do not object to your — meeting the young men, we can see no reason why you should not make their acquaintance, Your father would be the proper person to invite the young men, and he can easily determine upon short acquaintance whether or not they are | suitable companions for you. We should judge by what you say of them that they are very manly young fellows. ° ; | “Tl have no mother to advise me, so I come to — you.
