I By BETTY BLAIR It is bad enough for two people to tD quarrel but a third entering regardless of good intentions only succeeds in stirring stirring stirring stir stir- ring up wrath of a no different sort 1 r Dear Miss MIs Blair I am going with a girl whom I IAm Iam Am urn sure ure likes another boy better than she he does me Whenever she is In a crowd where this boy is an ln expression comes over her hert t I face that she never I fl has at any other ri time lime I have ever er riu seen Hen her She u used ed I I to go with this bo boy V l but they broke up l a and now he is t. going gol go go- 0 In ing steady with another another an an- Y I- I other girl I have noticed also that she likes to be as near to him as possible in inthe inthe the thc crowd She doesn't try to get him back again Khe hc just seems scents to want to b near him to hear what he is sain sayin say say- in ins and md sometimes to quietly join in the conversation At dances I have watched them dancing dancin together and I cant can't see fee seeS S any change in him He is jolly and rather noisy rolsy and nd he keeps this up all aU through the dance but I dont don't believe she he even knows s what he heIs heis heis Is saying she just seems to melt in his arms I 1 have mentioned the fact to her that I thought she he liked this other boy better than she did me and that if it would make her happier I was willing she he should have him though I liked her a t tr great r at deal myself She seemed startled d when I said this and said id she wouldn't go o with the theother theother theother other boy under an any circumstances circum circum- circumstances stances but she didn't deny eny she he liked him hint She hurriedly changed the the- the subject sUbject and nd so I didn't return to toil it Do you think there is a chance she he will forget the other boy and like me as well as she no now no likes him I am sure she doesn't even know I exist when she is in the presence of the other bo boy and of ot course that hurts a lot lol I AM If It as you say ay you jOU care for this girl a great deal it seems to me mc you jOu youcan youcan can afford to be very patient with her She is doubtless refusing to

it il Now here is where my part o of the stor story comes in I have taken my laws brother part two or three times when I have known he was right and had all the evidence evi dence to prove he w was was s right This has made my sister very angry with me She twits me with being disloyal to her and of ot liking him better than I do her She even says sas if it she hc had known I was going to act
