Dear Miss Grey: I was engaged to a young man, two years my senior. I loved him dearly and would have given up any- | thing in the world for him, and I know that he loved me, too, at one time. But one of these wild flappers came into his life, and she fell for him at once. She knew I was engaged to him, and I sometimes now think she just deliberately ran after him to make me jealous, and believe me, she succeeded. But he, unused to the ways of the! world, took her out, and I had to stay at home and weep. I “the |Demand for Star history of ofl.

I sincerely hope| that my e@etee, when put to prac- tical use, always does work out “just right.” You ask me point blank if I would take the young man back.

For instance, had I been you, I should not have cried my eyes out over the man when he euc-} cumbed to the flapper’s wiles. In-| stead, I should have powdered my} nose, put on my best bib and tucker and looked about for a new beau, one| more substantial and more apprecia- tiwe of a worth-while girl.
