r not the young un mans man's in interest In- In in-I in t terest rest In you intrigues cs you ou to the point th that you would know more of him If so with an explanation to him of oC all I have written you why not pave the way for further acquaintanceship acquaintanceship ac ac- ac- ac with the stipulation that if it be found you ou are two who may find ind happiness together y you U would be glad to consider a later proposal I do do- think it Ita a little unkind of you to return f friendly l letters t to the young man with no explanation as to why you did so If th they y had been Jovo lovo letters and you had made a decision to terminate a correspondence correspondence dence then letters should be bo re returned returned re- re turned with an explanation But letters on a purely friendly basis are seldom returned No I do not believe e in inlove love at first L But Ut I doj do think thInh it ll Possible that first attractions may be found by acquaintanceship not to have been mistaken Though they are arc quite as as likely to be no more than physical attraction with none o of the basic requirements for a happy life liCe I together los I SYMPATHY PATHY I Dear Mi Miss Blair I 1 feel EL so 50 sorry for Tor the old year year old PIM girl Sin girl soon to b become come a mother whose husband Is Is' still atm in love lovo with his diVorced dl- dl forced wife Wite I 1 can cun think of ot no more tragic situation fo for a young girl to be In who Is 15 unacquainted with life Yes I feel teel sorry gorry for the husband too They are arc two young things battling Lattne with life lite ane and nd Its forces with Incomplete knowledge of ot themselves to guide gulda them As you said In your reply to the tho man Miss MIM Blair It Is Js to his great creat credit that ho he offers otters kindness to his wife But Bur Imagine them living together like Ilka that Her whole heart yearning for tor him and ne his his- love Jove as she has It In abundance for him only him only to b bs be shut of with cool calculated kindness I feel teel as M you rou do do that his first wife lacked Jacked the tha line fino staying staring qualities of ot the second A woman doesn't need to b bs be trained for better or or for worse as the husband suggested Its It's either cither In A woman W td fight right to the e bitter ene end for tor the man she he loves love or It And I doubt even If It that meddling mother hadn't Interfered If It their romance could coule long have lasted tee But Its It's too bad bae that part of of It lit hadn't worn off oft before before- he ho had hae to leave her because Its It's that that keeps him loving her now And Ane I know by my own experience how ow long those adolescent romantic dreams dreams- can can torture tOrt one That That's why my sympathy goes goes' out to them now But I am era convinced d. d If If they keep plodding plodding plod plod- ding on both doing the best they can they will look Jook back In tn years to tocoma come coma and be glad they stayed to together together to- to gether sether ane and fought the good fight tight A little more kindness on his parta part a a little more reticence on hers so that her lo e for tor him doesn't repel him a fine tine consideration for each and that's what makes ml living pos pos- sible for for any two who happen to try to live UfO together ONE WHO KNOWS Fine and kind and wise vise is
