Do cot fuss about a mans hat or
cane. Let him place them on the

and a man must struggle into his

man is there to assist him. A lady

Dear Mrs. Thompson am a
young man of "a and am in love with
a married woman. laye known her
several years, and l love her with ali
my heart, and would do anything for
her. She is never out OF my mind
wherever I go. Is it right for me TO
love her 50?
il
There is a theory that we love
what is lovely and hate what is hate
full, in spite of ourselves.
If you love the woman in the best
way you also respect her. and wish
her to remain high in the estimation
of others. And therefore you will not
betray your feeling either to her or to
anyone else.
This is the old-fashioned way in
which a real gentleman faced The
most wretched of sentimental entan.
clements and il remains the finest
way. even when opposed to the most
exalted OF the modern affinity non
sense.

Dear Mrs Thompson: am 2.
years old and have been going with a
/ girl OF 16. Her folks got mad ana
/ stopped our going together.
! % Do you think it right for me
/ to meet her away from home2
CD She is the only girsN ever went
with and l don't care TO go with any
other. Would it be right ito ask her
to promise to marry me when she is
older?
JOHNNY BLUE EYES.
A girl of 16 is too young to keep
regular company with any one. and,
Of course, is'too young to be engaged.
Her parents are right in stopping the
intimacy
ID A girl meeting a young man
away from home puts herself in a
questionable position. She is very
likely to be talked about. a man
who cares for her should be the last
one TO cause her name to be
smirched
CD Respect the sensible wishes OF
her parents and wait until the girl
is old enough TO know her own mind.
That will be time enough to ask her
to marry you.
