“ die? : of Nemi? ha ° milnia Grey: f°] Man _ Sacrifices Pleasure for Career — After Six Years He Wonders If It Is Worth While. Dear Miss Grey: Several years ago I believed that one might do anything if he made tho proper effort. At that time it was up to me to decide what course I was to follow thru life and I choose a career that required years of study, hard work, and an expenditure of a considerable sum, in fact, all that I was able to spare, outside of my living expenses. ning this time, six years, I have seldom been away from home, never on pleasure. I do not attend clubs or any of the places where young people can meet, with the excep- tion of church, I have a multitude of male friends and acquaintances, some of them all that anyone could desire, Up until about six months ago I never had a girl friend. However, this summer I met a young woman, and instead of avoiding her, I cultivated her friendship. During this time I became very fond of her, and fearing that my affection for her would later cause me to neglect my work and studies, I relapsed back intg my former life. Lately I have been feeling lonely, and as if I craved the friendships of other than the boys. I feel I cannot marry for some years yet. I have been told that I cannot have girl friends like my boy friends because the friendship|\ will inevitably turn into something deeper or else fade eventually. Surely there must,be exceptions to this rule. : At present I am at the point where I begin to wonder if all the ‘sacrifice and hardships that are necessary to reach a certain goal are worth while, if life holds nothing after. T almost envy the man who has a home of his own and who really has something in life worth living for; who marries young and seemingly has no time to be lonely ; who did not sperd all of the best years of his life trying to at- tain something that he considers worth while, and then when he realizes his ambition, finds it empty of any human hap- piness. Again I say, is it worth while? At least is there noz| a happy medium where some pleasure can be taken along with the other? Sincerely, CUSTOMS. Surely every rule has its exception, and every little | arth way down thru life leads to a happy medium if we will but seek it out. : I believe you made a mistake when you gave up the friendship of the girl who interested you; instead, why didn’t you seek the happy dium? Why did you not ez- plain the situation to her, at least? No doubt she would ap- preciate a friendship such as you have to offer. There are girls, too, who find themselves in a position similar to yours—they have relatives dependent upon them—or other | obligations—careers to follow, etc. And they would be more! than. happy to have a worth-while, dependable man for a| friend.
