MARRIAGE WITHOUT LOVEDear Miss Fairfax: I have been going about steady with a young man five years my senior. Recently he was called away on business and during his absence I became acquainted with another young man who calls to see me. I have come to love him very dearly, but he only regards me as a friend.Yesterday the first man returned and asked me to marry him. I did not give him my answer yet, as I am greatly puzzled. What shall I do?I.F.Of course you mustn't marry without love. But it is equally important not to let a mere infatuation come between you and the man for whom you must have felt some regard, else why would you have gone about with him for so long? Too many of us want the unattainable merely because it is beyond our reach. If we could have it, the fictitious value it gets from being out of our grasp might vanish.___________________________________
