YOU ARE Old ENOUGH.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
am % years old. About seven
months ago I made the acquaintance of
a young man two years my senior. I
have been going with him twice a week
until lately. My parents seriously OBJ
jected to me marrying him. For his
folks are not as high as we are 1 am
deeply in love with him, and he gave
me a ring, but yet am not sure that
he really loves me the way 1 would
like him to. He says he does He is
making S25 a week Do you think he
loves me enough for me to carry him
without my folks consent and live
happily? He has not any bad habits
E NJ E.
A woman of % who is courted by a
steady, reliable young man of 20. IS in
position to decide for herself. and there
seems every reason why the decision
should be in the lovers favor. If he
gets SIS a week and she is trained in
ways Of economy, 1t is enough to
marry on.
Perhaps your parents exaggerate the
difference IN rank It should never
initiate against worth and love.
