Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 10 and
in love with a girl of %. am a.
tall as my father and look fully as
old as my girl. She says she will
marry me but my parents are against
IT,
She is a good girl, but they say
am too young to marry. Now must
wait until am 81 before / marry?
BOB.
You certainly must wait until you
are Fl II you wish 10 marry without
your parents consent. Also. think
your parents are very wise, Bob. You
should respect that wisdom.
The girl may be all right in every
way. though I question her judgment
in being willing to marry lad Of your
age. A girl of 25 ought to have more
sense than that. and should wish for
a man nearer her own age.
However. the sensible thing for you
to do is to wait until you are 81
Then, II you and the girl still think
you love each other enough TO marry,
and you are able TO support a wife,
the marriage may be all right.
However, / doubt very much IL you
will be OF the same mind two years
hence, while the girl, in that time.
will probably have found a more suit
able match.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am Il years
old and have two brothers one young.
er and one older My mother is dead
and have 70 take care Of the house.
! DO all the homework and cooking
and washing and I never have any fun
like other girls.
When | say anything TO my father,
that he ought TO make my brothers
help, he says Homework isn't boys
work and I must do the best / can.
I had TO stop school after my mother
died. Don't you think ought to get
some education, Mrs. Thompson?
Isn't there any way you can tell
me so ! don't have to stay here all
the time and do all the work?
MARIETTA.
Your burdens are too heavy. little
girl. Your father certainly ought TO see
10 II that you are not overtaxed.
It would not be at all unmanly for
your brothers TO help you with the

hardest work. Many splendid men
have helped their wives with the house
work, thinking it more digniied for
a man to help his wife than it would
be for him TO let her become a worn
out drudge.
The right kind of a man wants his
womenfolk to be healthy and happy.
Your father has probably not thought
about it that way and perhaps, if you
will show this to him, he will be only
too glad TO take steps TO make your
burden lighter. Perhaps he will have
the laundry work sent out. or see that
some strong woman comes to help
you, if your brothers can't be induced
TO do IT,
A little girl Of Il ought to have
some good times, and surely she
ought to have at least a good com
mon school education. I hope you
may go back to school when the next
term opens.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: My chum
was engaged to a man and had a
quarrel with him and broke the en-.
gagement Because he is a friend of
mine and haven't turned him down
she won't speak to me. She says
AN trying to steal him away, but
am not. like another man a good
deal better. Do you think | ought
to turn down this man because my
chum did, when he is a friend Of mine
and always has been? l don't want
TO lose my chum, either. BERTHA.
If the man is all right. don't see
why you should be unkind TO him
just because your chum doesn't like
him. She is rather unreasonable
Possibly she would like to make up
with him and is little jealous of you
| would not see any more of the
young man than | could help, if
were you. Do not encourage him &C
visit you. but be pleasant to him
should you meet him. Nobody could
find fault with such an attitude.

Tribute to Amazons.

The magnificent example Of the
women OF Dahomey shou,. be made
widely known whersver Their more CIV
lized listers are to be found strug-
Cling for their rights. Frederick Mar
tyn OF the French foreign legion, who
fought In the recent Dahomey cam
paign, tells us emphatically that "the
female OF the species is more deadly
tnan the male" The Senegalese trail
leurs were attacked by the Amazons,
and Mr.. Martyr says that "any one in
cnned to synlpathize with the ANA
IONS on account of their sex and to
look upon the combat between them
and our men as unequal, may take 1t
from me that their sympathy would be
misplaced. These young women were
Tar and away the best men In the Da-
homeyan army, and woman to man
were quite a match for any of us.
They fought like unclaimed demons.
and II driven into corner, did not
disdain to use their teeth and nails"
1t may be an error of policy to make
these facts known, and thus to stimu.
late mili'ency already vigorous
enough.
