Owe are two girls ard
greatly In trouble. About year

whore we met some boys. They
helped We find . purse We had
lost and were very nice 10 W.
We four became very good
| frisnds. and 80 they acted like
nice boys We went places with
them, and when We went away
last summer they wrote nice let
ters 20 W. We thought . great
DEAL OF them and whom we came
back 70 town, In August, they
asked us 10 marry them. None
Of W was Of age, but we got
married under assumed names.
We oirIs both live In IN apart
mont house with our parents.
The boys wanted W 20 live with
them. but we Just found out that
We were not legally married. be-
cause we were not Of age.
Mise Grey, Just think how We
feel and ell Of the disgrace. We
all love each other dearly and
want 70 do the right thing. We
know our parents Will not let us
get legally married. We olris
are 10 and ~. and the boys are
both 10. We Will have TO walt
two years before we can Get
married without our parents
consent. Now. Mlss Grey, what
would you do In this casef
Sometimes we feel like killing
ourselves, but the boys tell us
that would make u all the
worse.
Please don't throw this Into
the waste basket. because we
are badly In need OF advice.
Please don't ask 10 20 tell our
parents, because we would all
be sent 20 the reform school.
Please answer soon, because
we don't know what 10 do. In
trouble, TWO GIRLS.
A.--To be married under an as.
sumed name or under age does not
make marriage Illegal. as a mar.
rage In not considered Illegal by
the court unless proved 30 by law.
but II complexities matters greatly.
and you should straighten this out
at once.
] can see only one OF two things
to do--tell your parents. or tell the
juvenile Judge. That does not mean
the reformatory--but good advice
as to what to do.
