of the reserved retiring type your e environment has intensified intensify aed this disposition you can overcome this by making up yb your ar mind that from now on you will ninke make an effort to really entertain gorri some one no each time you nrc are out in other peoples society forget self in your effort to do this and think only of their pleasure or comfort you will find it will he be easier each time you make the effort I 1 believe the average man does like the girl best who is jolly and entertaining ta naturally he does not care for the society of one who is so reserved that it is an effort to entertain her but most emphatically there are arc men who do caro care for the girl who does not so far forget her dignity and self respect as to allow every min man in whose company she happens to bo be to take liberties that cheapen her in his and her own estimation it may be too that your friends mistake your reserve and bashfulness bashful nesa for ff pride your letter is nicely written and shows both refinement and education perhaps the men you meet in your rather isolated location have not enough educate themselves to appreciate it in a girl I 1 wish you could get away for a n time where you might meet men more like yourself who wao would recognize the qualities you pos would this not be possible I 1 do not mention this to 10 make you discontented with your you surroundings but often a girl is more app appreciated reel inta iway away from her childhood acau acquaintances saintane ain tane and I 1 feel that you des deserve erve and should havo have the society of people of refinement which is sometimes hard to 0 o get when living in a place so remote I 1 hope this little talk frill in some ome degree help you for you must learn how to overcome your

be happy my aly own personal opinion is that a marriage between a man and a girl where the girl ts Is three or four or even fire years older than u tho lauror man is not nearly so a absurd and foolish sa as the many marriages that take place where the man is ia twenty ur or twenty five years the girls senior the old ta theory 1 that hat a girl ages agea bastel than the man and therefore should marry a man inan old enough to be her father is about exploded these days when women no longer settle mettle down and consider themselves middle aged at thirty do you agree with me 7 look around you
