No. No, Rilla unless you are a fool spelled with capitals and underscored. (For advice, write Maxie Miller, care of Literary Service Bureau, 516 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kans. For personal reply, send self, addressed, stamped envelope.) Maxie Miller: I’m bringing you a serious case. Bet you never had one just like it. I'm a girl twenty.five years old. I'm engaged to a profes. sional man, I love him, or I did love him. Well, T think I leve him still. But I’ve lost confidence in him and respect for him.—This man had an office girl and she was everything to him. He confessed all that to me and said he'd give her up and would live right. But this girl who has been with him ten years since she was sixteen, would not give him up. One day she went to his office and quarreled with him. He got angry and beat her ter. ribly. He broke one of her ribs and hurt her internally and she may die. Since that, my love has been waning; and I’m scared. I am afraid to trust myself with a man who could be so mean. What is best?—Rilla Rollins. Rilla Rollins: A man who will seduce a girl, promise to marry her, use her in this way ten years, and then deal with her thus, is unworthy any consideration. You’d be a fool to marry him. and perhaps you would be a corpse, after a little while.— MAXIE MILLER.
