Dear Miss Grey: Have read !
great many OF your letters. ans
though not always agreeing Will
YOU. think the advice YOU give-ii
splendid. and | would like TO Elv'
my idea about few OF the Ques
/ tons.
There h the marrying age
I question, and | believe that Ia al
individual one. like a good man,
others are.
| II one never meets another they
/ love enough TO marry. what RICH
would they have to marryg For the
| foundation of marriage should h'
love. aud 60 be success at all there
must be love. Better 20 live In
state OF single hlessedness than e
marry without love. for that would
be the same as trying TO keep youi
home warm without fuel
We have young women and younf
men friends who, az 70 and ~
years OF age haven't as much com
mon sense 40 others have at rs OF
90. and then. again. ! have met q
few who never should marry, be
cause OF either physical or mental
deficiencies.
My husband was only 10 and
10 years old when We we're mar.
rled. and we have been married
eight years. have two healthy chill
dren. our own home, and the most
confronted. happy home you could
find anywhere.
Our income was only SEQ y month.
and not one cont In the bank. but
We were paying for lots on the
monthly plan. We managed splen'
didly. and hc r. now earning sls5 a
month. so YOU see. the $1,000 basis
Is not a necessity for perfect happi'
ness. but, II possible. by all means
have r.
I was not an expert cook. but
could prepare good. Wholesome
meal. which Is far better than the
average young man gets.
HAPPILY MARRIED
Dear Miss Grey: At IL years OF
age attended a lecture on When
Love Comes to You and ! deter
mined then not TO marry a man who
was not morally. mentally and
physically as clean as ! myself. and
my husband always has and always
will. OF bis own free viii. live up TO
that standard.
We have never regretted marry.
Ing so young. and often speak OF the
reason our home runs so smoothly.
and think II Is this perfect frankncss
toward each other BEFORE mar
rage. We knew each others weak
points and strong points. and We
both went to a physician TO be ex.
Amined. 10 be sure there were no
serious reasons why we should not
marry. My husbands physician
said. We'll. I guess n every on. had
as good judgment about such things.
there would be so per cent less d..
yorces,~ and | agree with him.
My mother and father were oppo-
sites In their likes and dislikes. and
consequently our homo life was
always storm-,ossed sea-mother
never caring to go where father
went. and father never wanted to
DO things mother wanted to do. 80
found out II my husband-,o-be en-
joyed the things did. or II I, was
put on Just for courtship days. l
assure you we cant get away from
homo very often. but when we do
we both enjoy Il so much. We love
good music. good speaking and
plays. and also love tho best books
and the outdoor life. and last. but
not least. We wanted home and
children. and pray that our strength
and finances will permit a larger
family than we have.
HAPPY WIFE AND MOTHER
A.--such letters come as a fresh
breath OF air. and convince US that
life is well worth living. and love.
and home. and right living. our
heaven here.
