| hope all the young girls who think
they are in love. will read this letter. IL
shows plainly the kind of a marriage a
girl is apt to make when she is too young
to know the difference between the kind
of nan who will make "A good husband
and the kind who will be "A bad husband.
This wife seems to have sufficient cause
for divorce. If she can support herself
and the child, she will be better off with
out such a husband. Undoubtedly a court
| would award her a%linony. though how
much 1 could not say-it would not be suf-
ticient to support a woman and IA child, at
any rate. and there might be difficulty in
collecting 1t. The judge would also decide
any division of property. Some judges
are very kind 10 "A woman i'm such n case.
but one cannot always depend upon ind
n,S a kind judge.

as would like very much to know how
she is. ! am not IN love with her. yet she
is Ito mel one OF the incest girls ! ever

1t be unmanlN TO go and see her?
C) When I ask a girl to go out walking
and have enjoyed her company very
much, should l tell her SO and thank her
for her company? Or should she do that:
"a What does 1t mean when the stamp
