Dear Mrs. Thompson: DIS il
very wrong for a young lady keeping
house for her parents, to elope If
she loves the man devotedly? C2)-
Do Opponents turn out happily? 90
What is the best way to manage a
strong minded man? DIS it unla-
dylike to propose 10 a man in leap
year? (5)-Is a girl OF 13 too aw-
fully young to be married, especially
II they are deeply in love?
VIOLET EYES.
OFF a girl is q or more and pos
sesses good common sense: If the
man is respectable and able to sup
port a wife; II the parents are IN
reasonable in their objections: IL the
young people really love each other
then they may marry without their
parents consent. But they should not
elope. They should have a little
wedding at a friends house or in the
minister's study. and at least invite
their parents TO attend
(2)-Not when the clippers are
young and foolish. C3)-Be very low
able, tactful and patient and let him
think he is doing It all. (4-Very.
Leap year is only joke (5)-Yes.
indeed. my dear. A girl OF 13 is not
physically developed enough to be a
wife, TO say nothing of her lack of
mental and spiritual development.
