30 care for me, but I hear that when in other young women’s company he passes remarks about me. When with me he stoutly denies it. Please give me your advice about this matter. Daisy D.” If the remarks which the young man makes about you are undesirable, we would advise vot to discontinue his acquaintance at once. We do not understand how any self-respecting girl could continue to have any affection fora man who deceives her or who she knows only “pretends” tocare for her, Waitafew years longer, Daisy, before you think of falling in love and then you will be better able to judge of men’s sincer- ity. ‘‘T have been married five years and have two children. I am in trouble and write to you for advice how I can win my husband’s love again. I do not think he is jealous of me, for I do not.,have any one come and see me. I would like to have my old boy and girl chums come and see me, but do not dare ask them.-My husband does not stay at home in the evening, and he does not want me to go out. If my darling husband would stay at home in the evening I would not care if no one ever came to see me. Iam only twenty-five years old. Mrs. FLORENCE H. L.”’ We would advise you to tell your husband plainly that if you do not have the benefit of his society, you will, at least, have the comfort of that of your friends. If his other friends are more congenial to him than his own home, make it your business to find some place where you can visit for a few days at atime, so that je may miss you. This will probably accomplish the result you desire. We do not advise a married woman to receive single men socially. You would do better to cultivate the acquaintance of young married couples. “T have been keeping company with a young man almost a year. I was very jealous of him and wrote him a severe letter, perhaps too severe. He shows in every way that he cares for me. Would you send him your photograph asa rien you have ceased to be angry? Do you think © am very foolish? There was no understanding hetween us, MrILuicent M, G.” Ye would jadge from your letter that yotfcon- sider vou were at fault. If so, the only womanly ‘se for you to pursue is to signify it. You ‘iicht tell the young man so, plainly and frankly, i if he cares for you the matter will drop or you might ask him tocall, Your express : to see him would, perhaps, convey the 4 that you had repented of your hasty action distinetly than by simply sending your pho- tovrnuph, —-—— “Tt have known a young man for four years, nod we have been keeping company for about two years. He is all that a girl could wish a man Vc. be, and I care more for him than any one else | know, but do you think he cares for me in the came way? Sometimes he stays away, and ; think he goes with other girls. He seems to fee hadly when I tell him I do not care to keep his MY QUEEN. me. company any longer. I am thinking of going away and not telling him anything about it, for I don’t believe he cares. oO.” We cannot see from your letter any reason why you should doubt the young man’s sincer- ity, Suppose he does see other girls sometimes! That is no proof that he does not prefer you to them. If you were engaged to him, you would have a claim on his attentions, but, as it is, you have no right toa monopoly. We would advise you to wait a while before you do anything rash. Possibly you are a little unkind to him some- times, and this causes him to seek other society. ~ ‘‘T am dearly in love with a young fellow who is about seventeen years old. I am fourteen, but I am very large for my age, and wear long dresses. I am so in love with him that there has not been one night this week that I did not dream of him We do not go together, but my opinion is that he Joves me but does not want to let on. Can you advise me? MAvpDE H.” We would advise you to spend your time with your books and at school, fitting yourself for a useful womanhood. You are entirely too young to be dreaming of young men or thinking of marriage. If he has not expressed any love for you and only asks after you, as any polite young man would, you area very silly girl to consider | that he loves you. You may think our answer to your letter is somewhat harsh, but when you area few years older you will thank us for if. \ “‘T am eighteen years old, am rather pretty and dress stylish, but do ndt seem to take well among the boys; they say Lam too quiet and reserved. Must a girl be loud and bold for the boys to like _her? I am also in trouble. Iam very much in love with a young man and I think he thought a great deal of me untila beer - lady who pro- fessed to be my friend enticed him away from It nearly breaks my heart to see them together. Tell me what I can do to regain his affection, or is it worth seeking after when he will listen to what she tells him, instead of what I say? Lovisa J. A.” We believe that the girls who are quiet and reserved will attract a much better class of men than those who are bold. We would not advise you to try to regain this young man’s affection. The fact that he was easily led away from you and listens to what others say shows that he is either weak-minded and unprincipled or that he did not really care for you, “T with to ask your advice about a girl friend of mine. This girl is only thirteen, and keeps up a correspondence witha boy of fourteen, Her mother knows it, but thinks the letters are only friendly ones, whereas, in reality, they are love letters. The ones I have seen contain such foolish things as‘your sweet face is before me all the time.’ He is studying to be a minister and he would give up if it was not for her, ‘Awei BL If a girl of thirteen can so influence a boy of Gomicboo “SiGOM - 3
