other girl ill as at one onetime time my Very ery best friend and andI I still stilt think the world of her However her reputation isn isn't t all it should be and my parents have haveS S tried to break up our friendship as much as they c could uld She ca came cameto cameto e eto to me about two weeks ago andS and nd told me that she had been going S with this boy on n man many of the nights when I was doing something something something some some- thing else or when he was supposed supposed supposed sup sup- posed to be some ome place else Naturally Naturally Nat Nat- I spoke to him about it and he he apologized to me mc and promised that he would have nothing more to do with her When he said this I 1 thought things would be the same beS between be- be S tween us but they haven't been He Hc doesn't come any more to visit me rue and m my family as he did If there is some awfully nice dance he takes me mc and he always al at- ways ays takes me mc some place pla-ce on a Sunday 1 I wonder what changed him in that respect Im I'm positive positive tive that he I is not seeing this girl girt but but if he should be bc why naturally I wouldn't want to be seen with him because my

jou have been going also knows this to be true and he has without doubt enjoyed the girls girl's companionship or he would not have bave sought her company II Since the two of you were not keeping steady company it seems to tome tome me roe that you were presuming just a little to criticise your friend for going go go- fJ lug ing with Ui the other girL What right had you to assume that you could l select lect the other othe girls girts with whom he heS S made appointments S You could of cou course e have refused to accept his appointments if you felt that self r respect was being lowered b because use of his choice of friends And if he asked for a reason rea rea- Ion son you ou could quite frankly have told him why Then between you youe the e matter could have been settled As things are I fear the boy fee feels his actions have been checked on arid and nd criticised and he feels a natural resentment and a a lack of freedom inyo in inS S yo your r company that he did not
