Dear. Mrs. Thompson: Please tell
me IL / ought to have done differently
n what / ought to do now. There
was a girl married recently that !
thought liked me and l loved her well
enough to want her for my wife. Two
years ago she got acquainted with a
man who had just come from the old
country. He was her stepmother n
brother. He wanted to marry her but
her father said he must learn to speak
English first,
He went to school to learn English
and about I'VE months g / heard
they were engaged. I asked the girl
IL II was so and she said 1t was but
she was afraid. L asked her if she
liked him and she said that in q way
she did. I was afraid to say any more
after that / thought that a girl that
was engaged wanted to keep away
from other men. so I did not tell her
/ loved her. "',~f
When she was married, / heard that
her father carried her to. the altar
and she sobbed through the ceremony.
They say 1t vas more like a funeral
than a wedding.
Ought I have had an understanding
with her? What a / do now?
&. p. ..l.3' B. j.
have been better to have told her how
you felt, even IL she vas engaged. If
she had wanted to change, she had the
right to then; but she hasn't now.

Why not invite girl friends. You can have

apples, nuts and popcorn. Or, you could
