Dear Mrs. Thompson; wish the
opinion of a person who is not biased,
and so ! am coming to you. Years
ago man proposed TO me. We
loved each other. but my folks were
poor and in debt and had endured
many privations 10 put me through
school, and I considered my first duty
10 them. I was the only child in a
large family who had been ambitious
enough TO make special preparations
for a life's work, and my folks were
proud of and expected great things
from me. This sutton made more
money that my father and 1 together
and offered TO help Us. We didn't want
TO be in debt to anyone. even my hus-
band. for such a favor. and we refused
his offered aid. ] went to work, work
ed hard and managed the family
finances in such a way that now at the
end of ten years We are out of debt,
own our own home and are a little
ahead
During these ten years my lover
and I seldom met. as 1 left the city
and he did also as soon as we decided
not 10 marry. We kept up a regu-I
toned love. He made good money,
but spent every cent; he drank, but
never 10 excess; and he travelled
widely and made friends of the best
people wherever he went. He came
10 this town lately and we became
engaged. The work I planned to do
Is done. I am so years old and he is
40. Ny friend makes good money and

live comfortably and in a few years
have a modest fortune. He would have
been wealthy had he saved. and l am I
a splendid manager and so have no
fears for our future. He does not /
gamble and has quit drinking alto
gether and is saving money now. His |
friends think he Is foolish to marry .
plain working girl and my friends /
think I am too good for him. He
doesn't consider me plain or stupid /
and he is proud of me. I love him
dearly and he is just like hoy in his
love FOR me. What do YOU think of our
chance for happiness? Is there too
much disparity in our ages and posi-
ton TO be happy?
HAPPY. BUT TROUBLED.
I think YOU ought to be very
happy together. The fact that the
man spent all that he made before
is no indication that he
viii want to after. Be careful not
TO be too economical, because a man
hates to have a woman tell him how
he can spend the money he has earn
ed. Dress well so that the man will
continue 10 be proud of you There
IS not too much difference in your
ages And l cannot see why you. a
successful college graduate, feel that
there is any difference in your posi-
ton After marriage you and he
will make mutual friends who will
-hink YOU are both all right.
