After going to gether several months, we became engaged We decided to get mar ried when I'd be about 19 years old. and as this is a long time to wait we thought wed break the engagement, (with the understand ing that some day we would marry. I have always been true to him. and told him everything. He has promised to do the same, and I believe he is pretty troe so far. Other fellows have asked me to go with them, but I refused be cause my thoughts go back to the one I love. He does not go out with different girls. He has told me often that he loves me. Do you think he loves me if he waits till I'm of age? Everybody tells me that he is not worthy of my love, and that I'd be foolish to marry him But I love him and no one else.

The Most Expensive Thing You Ever Bought Now honestly, what was the most expensive thing you ever bought ? Wasn’t it the dress, or the pair of shoes that you put away in the closet after a few wearings— the article that didn’t quite please you when you got it home. Sometimes this is because your mind was too uncertain but generally the article did not look as well after a few wearings as you thought it would. That is exactly the reason we do not sell “sec onds,” job lots or bankrupt stocks. Our merchan dise must stand the most rigid inspection before we offer it to you. We don’t want any of those “ex pensive purchase.” to be from our store, if we can help it. : : Good News! WM.
