Dear Miss Allen: After reading your aplendld advice to others I am coming to you. My problem Is, as a great number of others, love. For the past year, up until a month ago, I have been keeping company with a promising young man, with the best of character qualifications except for one noticeable fault. I do not love him, and never have, nor do I be lieve he loves me, although he de clares he does. Hast June I accepted a beautiful engagement ring from him, not because I love him, nor ever can, but because he threatened to take his life if I refused. Never dreaming of any one telling me that, 1 was frightened into taking it, consequently 1 hesitated In telling the fact to any one else, but thought perhaps there might be hopes. 1 find now there never can be, so final ly gained courage to give him the cold shoulder and return the ring with the other gifts I had received from his. Did I do right? I know no other man will ever tell me the same thing and make me believe it. Now, be cause I have never told the whole iruth to my very best chum, who often went with us, she thinks I have done wrong in accepting the ring. Should I tell her the truth? Have hesitated, as it wilt lower her opinion of the man, and besides 1 can’t sec that I'm doing worse than she, who has been going with a young man for three years and lias declared her love for him (I didn’t do that) In lil* pres ence, but to his hack declares she never will marry him. She refused the ring, but has accepted many other expensive gifts—jedar chest and jewelry—which she says she never will return. She seems to feel as I did, that she would like to have the man for a friend, but not husband. We are both 21, and who do you think has the most to be ashamed of? 1 want I your honest opinion, as I fear If she keeps nagging at me in regard to my affair we can no longer be chums. We four often stepped together and bad real good times, but they are over. Xow. Mies Allen, don’t tell me to go back to hint, as I never can. I realize It lias been carried too far now. And besides my love is for another man, just as promising ss the first, with as good a character, but because of wrongs of his relatives my folks disapprove of our Keeping company. Have been ewWt hearts since childhood and truly believe we always shall be. We talk and are friendly. He ljas asked me several times for a date -since I broke my engagement, but I refuse in view of my parents’ wishes. By tha way, they approved of the first man. I believe I have told you all. Now, dear Miss Allen, won't you please tell me what you think of the affair and advise me what io do in view of the fact that my chum also admires the man I love. I know that my love Is returned, as he was terribly put out when my engagement was an nounced. Oh, if X could only talk to you, but 1 know you will excuse this long letter and give me advice for the best, for which I thank you many times. HOPEFUL. You have done the wise thing l>y breaking your engagement. You shouldn't have accepted the ring In the first pdace, but I can understand how you must have felt when he threatened to take liis Hfe If you re fused him. I am glad you had the courage to break your engagement. You could never.be happily married to him, especially when ^ou are in love with another man. Front what you have told me of this other man it would seem that your parents are doing wrong in try ing to keep you apart. If you haven't told them of the other man's threat T would advise you to do so. There is no reason, however, for telling your chum. You have shown good common sense in not taking her Into your confidence. Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” kludge Took the l-ead in a Discussion With Harriet. I took my sisterin-law rapidly through the apartment ] had selected for her above my own going first to the bedroom where she deposited her hag, then to the living room, bath room and tiny kitchen, where I showed her the small resources of the place, but emphasized its undeniable cleanliness and convenience. She spoke only an occasional assenting perfunctory word until we were back in the living room where she walked to the mantel and looked at the piece of Chinese embroidery I had placed as a background for the oddly col ored candles and holder*. She bent her face to the frangrant sweet speas and then turned to me with eyes in which I read affection and gratitude. • Words are such futile things," -aid my reticent sister in law, "but I haven’t any other way to tell you how much I appreciate all this. It was trouble enough to hunt up an apartment, without doing all these extra things which make it so delight fully homelike. "As it happens it was no trouble at all," I returned honestly. "Find ing this meant only an inquiry of our janitor, and as for the other things— Dicky says I'm not happy unless I'm i hanging the arrangement of a room." . "It 1* gracious of you to put it that way," site answered, "but J know, nevertheless. And you are preparing dinner in this tiny apart ment, because of us Richard told me that he wanted to take us to a hotel, but that you insisted upon a home dinner." _ "Dicky tells everything he knows," I retorted, embarrassed. "I enjoy get ting tip a dinner and I thought it would be better for Edwin. “Far better," she agreed, "but you mustn't shirk the credit, iou re a dear girl, and tin especially glad to come to you Just now, for I need your advice. What do you think of Edwin?” A little thrill of purely feminine triumph shot through me. There had been a time in my early 'marriage, when tione of Dicky's feminine lela tives had considered me "a dear" or anything else attractive. That my efficient, self-contained sister-in-law should express a need for me, grati fied me exceedingly. But T made my answer non-committal, for I wan dered warily what lay behind her question. "Why! I haven't had a chance to form an opinion," 1 answered. "He's a bit. thinner, isn't he?" "Twenty pounds." she replied laconically. "But that wouldn’t mat ter if he were only himself in other' ways. But he isn’t. Margaret he Is so restless, so different from the quiet, poised man lie used to be. It is as if he is always looking for something Which lie cannot find. 1 know that Is a ridiculous way to describe it, but I cannot put what I mean in any other words. I have become so nerv ous over it that I am not sure of my own judgments. 1 — I cannot help wondering whether I might not have been mistaken that time—whether perhaps he did—care for Katherine Sonnot, after all." She was standing by the table rest ing one hand upon it. The table sud denly quivered beneath her fingers, and I realized that she was shaking with nervousness. The knowledge took the last shred of restraining aw® of her from me, and I walked up to her and took her by the shoulders as if she had been an unreasonably frightened child. "Of all the fool ideas that a woman ever entertained,” I scolded, "that is the limit. Sit down here a minute and let us get at this. Dilllan will see to things down stairs." She had thrown up her head as might a colt suddenly struck with an unexpected whip. I could imagine that not since her mother had left | her home had she been addressed so summarily. But she sank into the chair 1 pulled up and looked up at me with a tremulous smile. "I'm glad to hear you call it that even If I can't believe you," she said. "But >ou ought to ha\e seen him when he received the message that she was lo help hirn on this cas< with Mrs. Durkee. Jle was like a child on Christmas morning." ’T,ook here. Harriet." I empha sized my words with a pointing fore finger. “you never have been thrown into the working world, except as you have seen it from the standpoint of your husband's wife, have you?" "No—o—, but—" . "Then you haven't any conception of the prized comradeship which often exists between men and women in that world, a comradeship which has no touch of romance, and which no wife need fear. Katherine is unusual ly expert in her profession. She was >our husband s right hand in that war hospital across. Don't you suppose Edwin's face would have lighted up in the same way If he had learned that some valued young masculine surgeon friend of his was to assist him?"
