Il belonged 20 a girl friend. The next night
my hance called and asked my parents for
their consent 20 our marriage They grew
very angry and forbade him 10 ever speak
70 me again. and commanded me 20 give
back the ring which 1 have not dcne.
Would YOU ADVISE US TO marry without their
CONSENT r. z R
I certainly do not advise you to 20
against your parents wishes. The fact
that you were not candid and truth
full about the Who'll affair is enough
70 arouse their anger. Why don't you
ask their forgiveness for your dis
loyalty TO them and then ask their
consent TO your marriage? You are
young. and II is better to weigh the
matter carefully than TO repent when
Il Is too late. The outlook OF a
mother or father is generally a SEN
sible, sane one, and no daughter can
afford 10 do without parents ad-
vice.

PEOPLE WHO IMPOSE

" he habit Of allowing others to
furnish amusement, entertain
ment and some Of the neces-
saries OF everyday life is one
that is so easily formed and grows in
force with such alarming rate that It
is one Of the prevalent types Of minor
evils that mar our social happiness.
