What he has told hi mother and hb looks when I am around shows whhout a doubt that he care for me but he Is naturally backward. I love him. Would It b braten nd forward for me to do th proposing. I am ronsldernble worried over this question. Could you help me out T Sincerely, HALLIE, Uth My dear girl th's is a difficult and delicate del-icate situation I admit, and on upon which I hesitate to advise not knowing either of you personally. I am a firm believer In women's IndivMual rights In many, many ways, but have never been able to convince anyoelf that on of them waa the right to propone. Nevertheless this msn has no right to monopolize all your time and at tentlon. It hardly seema possible that after assoclatina; together so many years, as you hav b eiMild still be too "hsekward" to declare his love for you. Personally I believe be-lieve r., plnn would be to not give hita all of your time as you have heretofore, but ' devote ame tim to some other friend. Have j an enKatrement sometime when he aks you for out. It might hurt, but it msv slso wake llm to th fm-i that he esnnot gi on IndeflhlMy as he is now ilolnir You are both o'd enough to know your own mlndi, and If he has not made no his iy this time R i hih time b- wtw enliie.l in some man-nr man-nr to. do so.
