nothing short of crime.
Amy Woman who has the strength o.
mind to renain unmarried unless she
can be married to the right man. is tC
be honored. 1t is mighty easy to marry
any old chance" that happens along.
There is one bit OF advice that every
unmarried woman should heed, how
ever, and that Is what one of them tolC
me some time ago:
"A single woman" h said, must,
avoid three things as she would the
plague. She must not be frumy, fool
ish or finicky."
Dress well. tastefully and becoming
know you look. but do not look any
older. Act according to your appear
ance-don't be kittenish If you look
81. but don act like a grandmother
or like a Observation-Disclosures person
and don't be afraid to be sensible and
dignif1ed when the occasion arises.
Keep your hair. complexion and
shape in good order.
In short. be sweet and womanly and
keep the spirit OF youth in your heart.
AS for tinick ness-'Cu it OUT as
the boys say. At least. keep it strictly
private and don't intrude your personal
peculiarities upon others.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: have beer
going with a girl about a year, but the
other evening when I called | found
she had gone out with nother man.
DO you think that she had a right to do
that without telling me? l always tell
her what l am going to do. but lately
she hasn't consulted me about any
thing. DO you think she doesn't care
for my company any longer? ED.
If you have been going with IA girl
a year and you are not engaged to her.
she has a perfect right to act without
consulting you. She may go out with
as many young men as she pleases. at
any time. and you are not permitted to
have amy objections to express yourself
peevishly If She is inconsiderate of
your feelings.
If you think a good deal of this girl,
and wish to marry her. you had better
make up your mind to tell her so pref
ty soon. l Mould judge that she is
getting tired of waiting for you to do
hat very thing.
You can't xpect an attractive girl
to wait forever. Ed. Go to her and
ask her for the right to have something
to say if she walks off again with am
you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am IA years
old and have two brothers, one young
err and one older. MY mother is dead
n 1 have to take care of the house.
L do all he homework and cooking and
washing and l never have any fun like
other girls.
When I say anything to my father,
that. ne ought to make my brothers
nelp he says homework isn't boys
work and l must do the best / can. l
had to stop school after my mother
some education. Mrs. Thompson.
isn't there any way o an tell me
so 1 don't have to stay here all the
time and do all the worko
MARIETTA.
Your burdens are too heavy. little
girl. Your father certainly ought to
see 10 1t that you are not overtaxed.
1t would not be at All humanity for
your brothers to help you with the
hardest work. Many splendid men have
helped their wives with the housework.
thinking 1T more dignified for a man to
help his wife than it would be for him
TO let her become a wornOut drudge.
The right kind of a man wants his
Womenfolk to be healthy and happy.
Your father has probably not thought
ABOUT 1T that way n perhaps If you
Will show this to him. he will be only
too glad to take steps to make your
burden lighter. Perhaps he viii have
the laundry work sent out, or see that
Some strong woman comes to help you.
n YOUR brothers can't be induced to
| do it.
A little girl OF IA ought to ave
some good times. and surely she ought
to have at least a good ommon school
education. l hope you may go back to
school when the next term opens.
