got ready snd as you think Ms tsss
means TO marry mef My mother and father
say that when man really means to marry
b,t says. Are you willing to marry me, in

ten me what you think. SALLIE
think this Is a question that you and
the young man can best settle between
you without the assistance Of your pa

seem to favor, often kills a romance.
Some men take 1t for granted that
women are mind readers and know, as

leave unsaid. Perhaps your friend is
one of these men. At any rate 1t re-
quires good deal of tact on your part
to decide this rather delicate question,
but II the man says he loves you the
problem is practically solved.
