Dear Miss Grey—It was with great interest I read the two let ters in Monday's Star, two let ters which are so full of human qualities, In answer to the man I would say by all means tell the young lady of his past, If she is a full blooded American gir! she will be proud to know that he was strong enough to come back and make a big man of himself. It takes a man to make good after the humiliations which he had to endure, because his father thoughtlessly allowed him to be- come a spendthrift His son was like all other boys who have too much money and too many so-called “friends. A true woman will help and shield him if he will only be fair to both her and himself and make a clean breast of it. If, on the other hand, he does not tell her and waits until years later and she finds it out thru otber channels, he will lose her confidence and cause her untold suffering, for a true woman hates a living lie. If her love is NOT strong enough to forgive his youthful escapade, he is far better off without such a wife, and some day he will tind a woman who will appreciate the struggles it cost to make good. Lastly I would find out wheth er mother still lives and if so, Make a Clean-Breast of It, Is this Writer’s Advice to Man and Girl With “‘Pasts”’ Shall the man who spent a term in the peni- tentiary tell his fiancee about it, now.that he has made good and led a correct life for years? who committed an indiscretion and has since been en- tirely proper, tell her sweetheart? tions put to Cynthia Grey by two of her correspond- In addition to the following answer in reply, found Shall the girl These are ques- in the Cynthia Grey write to know good T@ the young woman I would say by all means be frank, and tell her fiance all about her early life. I would tell of the little girl whose parents were poor, too poor to gratify the ambitions and longings of their daughter, who had musical talent, but no way of developing it Tell of the natural craving of the girl of 16 for beautiful things, of the flattery of the people who frequented the cafe and of the influence a theatrical man can have upon an untrained child; how with promises of a theatri cal career he took her to New York, where his unwelcome at tentions caused her to run away. I would picture the phght of a young girl alone with the excep tion of 4 class of people to whom » woman's honor is as nothing. I would tell him the last five years of her life, which prove, linked with her early girlhood life, that she was not morally bad, but a vietim of circum: stances. If he is the kind of man she described in her letter, he will surely forgive, or rather overlook, those few years of her life, and never allude to them by word or action, He will make her future much happier, and both will be better for the telling A WELL-WISHER her so she, he came back too, may and made n reports hie persons w fel tne | Opportunity to .
