We do not see how true love can leave room for much jealousy. In order to love truly, one must have confidence, and with this sentiment in the heart jealousy cannot flourish. Naturally a person can feel hurt at any fancied or real slight from a loved one, but to be genuinely jealous is to be suspicious, and this sentiment is not compatible with honest affection. We should be very “shy” indeed of a jealous man. They have never proven themselves very desirable companions for a woman. “I am deeply interested in ‘Marion Marlowe,’ and have read the Correspondence in every issue. I would be glad to know who Marion is to marry. I should have married Archie Ray in the very first chapter if it had been me. Do you believe, Miss Shirley, that there are any men like Archie Ray and Dr. Brookes? If there are, I would give a great deal to be able to meet them. The men I know look like mental and moral pigmies in comparison. “Eva S.” We can not tell you about Marion yet, for she is a very cautious young lady, and is going to take a long time to decide whom she will marry. Mr. Ray and the doctor are certainly very fine young men, but as they are characters from real life, we are sure there must be others. We would advise you to turn your copies of “My Queen” over to the young men whom you know—perhaps all they need is an example to follow. If you wait a few years with your eyes wide open, we have no doubt but what you will secure a worthy husband such as we are determined to give Marion Marlowe when she shows an inclination to accept him. “I hope you will not think me foolish for asking your advice, my dear Miss Shirley, but, really, I am very much distressed, and I long for some one to help me. I am a brunette of eighteen and fairly good looking, yet no young man has ever asked me to marry him. Several of my friends have told me that men always prefer blondes, and that if I should bleach my hair my chances would be better. Do you think they are right? I would like to have a lover, and, of course, I hope to be married, but I should feel terrible if I should ruin my nice black hair by bleaching it. Do please advise me what to do in this matter. “Addie McV.” We do not agree with your friends that men prefer blondes. On the contrary, both types of beauty have their special admirers among the “sterner sex.” If you have “nice black hair” you should endeavor to retain it as nothing is more stupid and disgusting than for a woman to attempt to alter a beauty that nature has given her. A true man will not love you for the color of your hair any more than he will for the length of your nose or the width of your shoulders. If you are a modest, intelligent girl, the right man will fall in love with you some day, and then if you had green hair it would not make any difference. You are too young to be thinking of marriage, in any event. Wait until after you are twenty-one before you even think of a husband.
