NOT AT HER BEST
Dear Miss Rutledge,— I am very fond of a boy with whom I correspond, but do not see very often. However, when we do meet, 1 am very self-conscious and shy, and feel that lam not at my best. As I am not at all shy with other male friends, I cannot understand it and wonder what you would advise me to do in the matter. MARIGOLD. ANSWER Yours is really an attitude of mind, and there is no actual reason for your nervousness. If you believe that you can overcome it, you will undoubtedly do so, but the matter rests entirely with your* self. Next time you meet your friend, just make up your mind to be perfectly natural. Know that the shyness you mention is only Imagination, and that in thinking of your limitations, you are in truth creating them. “As a man thinketh" naturally makes the dearest friend or the worst enemy. So be resolute, and banish your seltconseiousness in natural, happy endeav,our not to be misunderstood. ANNE RUTLEDGE.
