Dear Misa Fairfax: Since January I have been going with a boy Steagy. We are both twenty-one. He asked me to marry him, but it would break my heart as she needs my help terribly. Meantime I bought a small car and gave it to him, but he is not working. Now he only comes to see me when he pleases, and sometimes not at all. This happened after I showed how much I cared and had done everything for him. He takes out his old girlfriend in the car and visits her. The more you do for a self centered person the more you spoil him. Your chances of happiness by marrying a man devoted to himself seem slim. Don’t give any more young men cars. You’re a warm hearted girl with a keen sense of family responsibility. When you marry, it will be someone who appreciates these qualities and will be good to you.
