One, of thirty-three a business man, a

who loves my child. and would be a
good father to it. 1 have asked him TO
wait a year. He says if l don't marry
him this month he will go away.
NO. is a playwright and violin
player. He loves me, but he does not
love children, and would make a poor
father for my child. He says If l re-
fuse to marry him he will remain my
friend. providing I marry no one else
NO. is the man | love, He likes
me only as friend, and l could not
marry him because of his youth. even

No. 2 does not love children. Some
how, this woman loses a little of the
luster of maternity in putting his name
on the list. She also exposes herself
to the suspicion of having little sense.
For he says he will still be friends
with her though she refuses to marry
him, providing she marries no one
else" Knowing this sefishness, she
enters his name among those whom
she is considering!
No 8 is too young for her to marry.
Then, l contend, he is also too young
for her to love Such friendship as
she dreams of with him will be fatal
to her and l wonder that she con-
sders it.
My advice would be that she take
No. l and thank kind Providence for
sending such a man
