Influence of the Home.

he would flirt with other
| women when he is drunk?
He is good and kind when at
home, but goes off on these
occasions.
Do you think it would be
wrong for me to go out flirt-
ing when he is gone? 1 love
him and would not fliPt, only
L thought maybe It would
bring him back to me.
He loves children very
much and wants us to have
one. DO you think he would
stay Mt home more, or Is it
best We don't have any?
HAZEL EYES.
At will be decidedly i'm
proper for you to flirt. If each
OF us took to doing something
wrong because someone else did,
this world would soon grow so
evil 1T would be impossible for us
to live here at all. Your husband
does wrong, but your self respect
and pride should prevent you
doing likewise.
A home is not a home in the
truest sense of the word without
children; at the same time, when
contention and disagreement take
the place of harmony and the hus-
band is addicted to the drink
habit, it is just as we'll not to
bring children into the turmoil.
| If your husband would cure
himself of the drink habit, with
out a doubt child in the home
would make great difference.
You Have an Equal Right.
Dear Miss Grey: Would
thank you for your kind adj
vice. 1 am girl of 10 with
mother, three sisters and
brother, and will soon be
their only support.
We have a small business
which we will soon sell and
will have about $500 left.
What l want to know is this:
/ will have to be their sup
port until they are old
enough, which is far off.
1 am engaged to a young
man of 81 and he does not
know this. Should tell him
at once and free him? 1 love
him very much and am much
older in my ways. 1 have
three married sisters; don't
yOu think they ought help
support them as well as L?
would like to get married,
too, in about a year.
"a
am, DAISY.
Alt is not just for you to
bear the entire burden of SUD-
port. You have as much right to
marry and make your own home
as have your older sisters.
/ advise you to explain to the
young man that you will have to
help support your folks. Then
have a heart to heart talk with
your married sisters and their
husbands; present the matter to
them in a kindly spirit and 1 am
sure they will not refuse to help.
Conditions of the Homeless
Dear Miss Grey: have no.
ticed quite a few ADVERTISE
ments I'm the papers lately for
girls to work, inserted by
large firms. Often at the
1 close of these are the same
/ words, "Girls living at home
preferred" If this increases,
which it undoubtedly will,
what will happen? How much
harder will the life of
homeless girl be? How
many, many girls will be
1 forced to a life of shame!
Pure, innocent girls; girls
who must work; girls who
/ are willing to work; girls
who have no one to depend
| on but themselves will not
be hired as long as the ones
living at home can be OBJ
tanned, simply because tho
| thOughtless, or selfish em-
ployers can get others for q
few cents less.
Isn't there enough fallen
ones, or don't they care?
am speaking because 1 am
alone and know how hard It
/ it, however, I have this much
to be thankful for, that Is:
i have always led a pure life
and always intend to. At
times it is very hard; one
! meets with so many cempta-
i tions. There are always so
/ many ready to aid in your
/ downfall, and SO very few
that will help you climb once
4 YOU have fallen.
