Dear Mrs. Thompson: Some of my
friends have been trying to convert
me to a vegetarian diet. They say
will be healthier and all around better
looking for it.
I have a rather sallow complexion.
Do you think vegetable diet would
help it? ANNIE.
Too much meat is not good for any
body. Meat once a day is enough for
a healthful diet.
Most people do not eat enough vege-
tables. While I do not think that
most Of us could be quite happy on a
strictly vegetarian diet, as the human
being is omniverous, 1t is true that
most people would be better off physi-
cany If they would eat less meat and
more vegetables and fruits.
To improve your complexion, eat all
the fresh fruits and vegetables pos
sible; exercise in the open air; drink
plenty of milk or buttermilk.
With your stomach in good condi-
ton and your lungs full of fresh air,
you will soon see a change for the
better in your general appearance.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: A gentleman
acquaintance of mine invited me to go
be last night. l got all dressed and
ready and almost at the last minute
he called me up and said he couldn't
go and would I please excuse him
He didn't give me any reason, but said
he would like me to go with him
little later on.
Now don't you think that was pref
ty mean of him? I was all ready to
go and was dreadfully disappointed.
don't think I will ever speak to him
again. MAYME.
It did seem a bit inconsiderate on
the young mans part to wait until the
last moment. Still, he may himself
have been disappointed in some way,
at the last moment, and about all you
can do is to wait and see what he does
next.
Do not appear to be mifred when
you see him. Just be polite and pleas
ant and, If he refers to the broken en-
gagement, simply tell Aim that Of
course it was too bad, and you sup
posed it must have been an urgent
matter that made IL necessary.
However, be little Indifferent about
accepting another invitation. II he
persists and appears to be very much
in earnest about it, it might be per-
missible to give him another trial. 1t
all depends upon your knowledge OF
his general chara cter. If you have any
good reason to believe that he is not
to be trusted fight shy Of him alto
gether.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am Fl, live
in the city and earn SO week. Do
you think am too young to marry?
I know a real nice girl that would
be willing to marry me. She is not
quite 19 years old. We are both strong
and healthy, but I have a friend who
says a man ought to be % before he
marries because he doesn't know how

What do you think about It?
OSCAR
I think your friend is right and your
letter proves it.
A man who will ask a girl to marry
him. expecting to live in a city at the
present high cost of living, on $40 a
week, does not know how to treat a
wife.
The old story that two can live
cheaper than one, has been exploded
long ago.
If you live in a boarding house, just
ask your landIady If she viii board two
people for the same money that you
are paying her. She will think you
have lost your senses.
A wife needs food and clothes, and
you will have to live somewhere, which
means paying rent. There will be all
kinds of expenses that you don't think
of now, that come with marriage. You
will want some fun, too, won't you?
Well, even fun costs money in city.
Also a woman cannot stand too
many hardships-es specially a young
married woman. Don't forget that
You can't treat her like another man,
no matter how willing she is to put
up with things.
There is another very important item
you have overlooked. VIII you be pre-
pared for the arrival Of the first baby?
