"a Peck of Trouble"


Dear Miss Grey: 1 am
Sin a peck of trouble" and
come to you for help. My
brother and L are all alone in
the world.
About two years ago 1 met
a young lady i'm the East.
She was very nice to me i'm u
flattering way. 1 was 10
and she was Fl, so after re-
naming in her home town n
few weeks we became en-
gagged. 1 came West; met
another young lady. She is
just as nearly my ideal as
one could be, not in the least
like the first one.
know the everyday home
life of this last girl and she
suits me in every way, and L
am very sure the satisfaction
is mutual. 1 know it was
mean of me to win the affec-
lions of this girl when i was
engaged to another, and did
not mean to do that when L
began taking her out to
places.
She had no brothers to go
with her; L had no sister or
anyone else. So when L got
started to going with her 1
could not stop. Each time I
went to her home made me
desire to go again soon. She
is a working girl. The first
does nothing she does not
have to, and has very little
means. i am a wOrkingman,
too, and am q bit older than
when 1 became engaged.
1 love this last girl ac-
quaintance, and she loves
me, but L am engaged to the
other one, and il / fail to
keep my promise she says
she will sue me for breach
of promise. / have only a
few hundred dollars that /
earned by hard work, and it
would be pretty slough" to
have to give it up, to say
nothing of the shame of a
breach of promise suit.
My only excuse is that L
was younger then than now,
i'm experience as well as years.
Will you tell me what to do
at once, as my marriage is
fast approaching to the first
girl. / have been saying to
myself 1 will marry the girl
am engaged to rather than
be untrue, although 1 know
she does not love me as this
other girl does.
OF course I had to tell
this girl here that I was
engaged (told her a few
Z weeks ago), and she advised
me to stick to my promise
and left home at once to
work in another town. L
want your advice. This girl
is two years my Junior.
L know 1 am a brute and
all the bad things you can
think of. This is the only
dishonest trick have to
grieve over as 1 have always
tried to live as respectable
as 1 would expect my wife to
be.
Thanking you IL you can
help me untangIe this net,
am, WILLIAM.

girl for him.
told him 1 would never
love him and did not approve
of a young man proposing

quaintance. He has left

Lack of Common Sense.
Dear Miss Grey: Do you
think it proper for couple
to sit up two or three nights
out of the week till eleven
o'clock if they arc not en-
gagged? A. L.
A.-Even If the couple were
they show lack of COM
nonsense to sit up so often and
so late. When not engaged it is
not proper under any circum-
stances.

ried to two men of good repu-
tation, and there is nothing
that they would not do for
us; but this is the question
we want to ask:
We did a great wrong be-
fore we were married, and
are afraid they might find it
out. Shall we tell them, or
not, for they think the world
of us.
TWO YOUNG MOTHERS.
A.-The time for you to have
told them was when they asked
you to marry. If young men and
women would be frank with each
other before marriage, the num-
Der of wrecked homes and di-
vorces would be greatly dimin-
ished.
If you are positive your hus-
bands think the world of you, it is
not necessary to tell them, as they
would not give you up if they
really think that much of you.

finding Il cure, when I heard of Resinol
and purchased some. The results We're
perfectly marvellous. I used three iars
