If you and the man you are engaged
to cannot get along before you are
married you certainly could not after
| You are still young and II you give
this man IL you will have opportunities
to meet many more men among whom
you will find someone you can love.
Because you give up this man is no
sign you have to go back to your
former friend. 1 suggest you have
heart-to-heart talk with your fiance
and give him to understand you will
break the engagement unless he re-
forms at once.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a girl
of twenty and 1 am keeping company
with man of thirty. Is he too old for
me? BROWN EYES.
Some girls of twenty have married
men ten years older than themselves
and been very happy, and others have
not. 1t depends upon the girl and the
man whether he is too old or not. Ask
your mother what she thinks.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am to be
married very soon and my fiance and
are having disputes very often He
shows a great deal of jealousy lately
and it makes me feel very badly. One
day at the table at my brother-in-law's
he was talking about something and
did not pay particular attention. Then
my brother-in-law said something
about my little nephew and 1 listened
|
fiance had said. After dinner my
| fiance said that he might well talk
| to the walls as to me, because pay no
attention. He wanted to know WHO
didn't go over and sit next to my
| brother-in-law. / didn't say anything,
| but it hurt very much. He has shown
jealousy often since. IT 1 say any
thing to my brother-in-law he gets
angry. We have never said anything
| that should anger him. 1 am getting
tired of such spells. What can 1 do
to make him think differently? Should
1 think of marrying him or should 1
break my engagement? 1 am twenty
four years old and 1 have known him
ever since 1 came to this country-six
years. ROSA
If the man does not interest you
enough to make you want to listen
when he talks l don't think you love
him enough to marry him. Humor
him and make him feel that what he
says really does mean more to you
than what your brother-in-law any
one else says.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a girl
1 8 years of age and have been keeping
steady company with a fellow of about
thirty for three years. We were en-
gagged to be married until about two
months ago, when he met with a Sc
we're accident just after 1 moved from
that town. The accident left him in a
deformed condition, and so he wrote
to me and told me all about it and said
that his heart was broken. as he didn't
think L could marry MIN in that con-
dition. He said that he didn't care
now whether he lived or died.
1 love the fellow so much that 1 |
know I'll never be happy with another |
man. If you'll please. advise me |
whether it would be best to marry a |
man in that condition or not I'll thank |
you from the bottom of my heart. My |
mother and sister both tell me to drop
him, but they don't realize how L love |
him or they would say differently. He |
has fine position and works now
that he has got over the accident.
DAILY READER.
I think you are too young, grille, to |
be sure that you love this man and
can love no other. You ought to be |
to marry a cripple eleven years older
than yourself Write to him and be
as close friend and comforter you
can, and then in a few years if you
the great thing after ALL 1t would be
worth the price you would have to I
pay if you could be sure you would
get it.
