Why don't you fall in love with a

You can't possibly have the right kind
Of love for her, even though you are

child and you have no right to ask
her TO bind herself to you until she
Is old enough TO marry. Her firta-

will probably be ashamed when she
is old enough TO know what love
means. You could keep house very
modestly on $50 a month. Your gram
