MONDAY-HEART AND HOME IS
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 was en-
gagged to a young man and he came
to see me somewhat under the in
fiuence of liquor. My father sent
him from the house and forbade my
seeing him. 1 feel that my influence
over him would be good and he says
he will stop drinking if 1 will take him
back and marry him. / do not want TO
feel that l helped send him to ruin
What shall l do?
ADA.
Obey your father by all means. My
poor girl, never for one moment be-
lieve that if man is not strong enough
to do what becomes man before mar
rage he will do it afterwards. And
never imagine that anyone worth saw
ing is going to be driven to ruin by
any loss whatever. 1t is week mans
excuse and you will regret it the long
est day you have to live if you marry
a man who drinks.
Dear Mrs Thompson: 1 am very
pretty and have been offered posi-
ton as actor for moving pictures.
Should l accept?
F. F. S.
If you are in charge of a respon-
sible person who will see that you are
properly chaperoned, there would be
no objection. Otherwise do not accept.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am
young man of 20 and l am very much
in love with a girl of Is. Her people
are very poor and when l ask to call
she will not let me come and she will
not go out with me. What can l do?
LEON
Be very kind and friendly when
ever you meet her. Take pains to
walk with her. etc. Perhaps when
you become better acquainted she
will not mind your calling. Prob
ably her home is one she does not wish
you to see and she may not have
clothes to wear to places of amuse-
ment She is evidently very proud
and it will require tact to win her con-
fidence.
