Dear Miss Grey: II came
to me this morning what a
fine thing IL would be If all
the childless homes in Ia
coma would each entertain a
homeless child at Thanksgiv-

day or two.
Also, IL those who are
lonely would look up others who
are lonely and spend the day to-
gether. JEAN.

Dear Miss Grey: 1 have
been going with young
man % years old, who is
nice looking and was very
good to me. 1 always speak
well of him, and he speaks
well of me; but, Miss Grey,
i'm going with him / have
lost my reputation. He has
been married once, but di-
vOrced two years. He has
also been In the reformatory.
He sometimes now pays
me attentions. What can I
do to regain my reputation?
But, Miss Grey, remember,
he has always treated me
with respect.
Al wish I knew how oil
you are, for If you are of an ag

I NEED SOME HELP

Dear Miss Grey: Do you
think il would be advisable
to marry man who has
reached the age of so, or
more, and has never accumu-

He seems like a very nice
man. We have not been
acquainted long. Would it
be right to ask him for

you. ANXIOUS MAID.
A.-You do not love this mar
and it is a moral crime to marry
for support. If you are not ply
sically able to support yourself
you are certainly not fit TO

motherhood.

THAT JEALOUS DISEASE

THAT JEALOUS DISEASE
Dear Miss Grey: Please
give me some advice in this
matter. 1 am very jealous
of my husband and really I
haven't any cause to be.
But 1t seems as though I
could hardly stand IL to see
him talking to any other
woman. 1 don't mean all
women, but certain women
in this neighborhood. Even
the sight of him talking to
another woman gives me
such an aII-gone feeling,
and makes me miserable.
Then 1 talk to him about it,
and of course he don't like
it.
L could be happy If 1 could
get rid of that jealous feel
ing. Sometimes 1 wish L
had married a man 1 did not
love, so I wouldn't be jeal-
GUS. GOOD INTENTIONS.
A.-Jealousy is a disease, an
you can cure yourself IL 20
will be persistent. The very frs
step is to stop speaking to you
husband about 1t. No matte
how you feel, keep still. Nex
step, stop thinking about 1t. Jus
regard it as you would a sligh
headache; know that 1t will pas
In a short time, and do som
little helpful thing for someon
while you feel that way. Jeal
ousy cannot withstand real love
but will fall before noble in
Pluence.
