their evi evidence thing for tor you ou to dence most carefully BASHFUL B. nOYS D Dear ar l Ed We Wc arc are two bO boys 16 years cars old and very b a girl looks at atus atus us we blush One ofus ofu has a car carand carand carand and we could double-date double with a couple of ot nice girls if it we only knew how to get the girls We just go riding around together Sometimes we vie park the car CRr in a lonely place and sing all aU the songs we know and then go home Dont Don't you think it would be better if we had a couple of swell girls to ride rid around with But every time we think weve we've thought o of Just the to to ask them proper things sa say we get cold feet We have our eyes on two swell dames right now Tell us what to say Jy and nd do doto doto doto to get over our

Miss Blair I have have been going with wah a boy boyst st steady ad for two months He told me mc he loved me mc but lately he t told ld ine me we would have to stop going oin together to gether and be just friends I love lo him but I 1 cant can't understand his actions Do you OU think he has bas stopped topped loving me or that it is for some rome other reason that he thinks 3 we ought to stop gol going g together I 1 felt so bad wh when 1 he told me that I couldn't t t my t thoughts u eno 1 I 1 i n the r reason ason Can Cin you help hep me to win him back VEE Perhaps Perhaps' the young man thought he was getting too fond of you and that thai circumstances would not permit th that tha t the he be become serious now I think i it would be a mistake for you to tr try to tc get him to come back to you now Make other friends and try as much muchas as possible to forget him Give t time mc a chance to operate Often Orten the things we wish for most are the very thin things we are glad later on that we could not g get t. t This friend was doubtless trying to do the right thing whatever the motivation was and for you to try tr to bring h hm hIm m back would weaken hi his own determination to do as he thinks best It might have helped matters if it you had collected yourself sufficiently sufficiently suf sut to ask his reasons but since you did not just try to forget him i If he is having the same difficulty in forgetting you he may later on Ic let you know about It it then you 1 0 will be glad that you did nothing to win him back but that he came of his own accord |
