Dear Mrs Thompson: I am girl
! of 81, and / have been engaged to
young man for some months | had
! placed him on a pedestal and felt that
! | had found my ideal partner. Then he
did something SO ungentlemanly that
/ was Mortified. He has fallen in my
estimation and / cannot think of him
as l did before. After leaving the
house without asking my pardon for
his conduct, he neither wrote nor tele-
phoned for a week; and then he made
matters worse instead of better. He
does not seem to realize that he has
done anything wrong. My pride tells
me not to have anything more to do
with him. but my heart longs for him,
for l love him.
Please advise me. I am afraid
can never be happy without him.
WORRIED.
My dear girl, you surely could
never be happy with a man who
could not treat you in gentlemanly
manner, especially if he was too III
hammered to realize what he had
done. Give him to understand that
your self-respect will not allow you
to overlook such things. If girl
permits such treatment the wife will
have to. If girl will firmly hold
to this attitude she will win out. If
the man can be a gentleman it will
call all those qualities forth in him;
if not, the sooner she knows it the
better.
Dear Mrs. Thompson. l am |
man of So a widower with means |
| am in love with a girl of IS. Do you /
think it advisable to marry SO young |
a woman?
Such a great difference in age is
apt to make trouble. Few girls OF
is are willing to settle down and !
spend their days as a man of so would
like to do They have no community
of interest Such marriages are rarely
happy.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have met
a young man, a cousin of my most
intimate friend. He seems to like
me very much, but he never asks me
to go anywhere with him. Instead
he asks my intimate friend to ask
me- 1t does not seem proper for me
to accept his invitations delivered in
that way. What can 1 do? l do not S

ENGAGED.
The sooner people realize that en-
gagement and marriage does not
confer the right to invade persons
private life and belief the better.
Make the young lady understand
that you beliefs are your own, that
you would be a hypocrite to. join
church to please her. Each person
must live his own life That is what
causes so many divorces. People
have different ideas and ideals and
