climation to marry him should be
strong enough to blot out all fear of
doing SO.
Dear Mrs Thompson: % 1 am a
girl of fourteen. My girl chum and
L have been sincere friends. y few
nights ago this girls father came
home intoxicated, and her mother IS
accustomed to be in bad company.
Yet this girl is very nice girl and
1 hate to break our love and friend

long as she is worthy of your friend
ship. If you dropped her others

have to resort to bad company in or
der to have friends. This might ruin

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am n girl
of eighteen and keep company with
man of twcnty-eight. He is honest
and doesn't drink intoxicating liquors
or smoke and he is wealthy. He
proposed to me and 1 asked for time
to decide. 1 love this fellow. Do
you think he is too old for me:
UNCERTAIN.

love the man, don't marry him. Ten
years is not too much difference in

to decide so vital question.
Dear Mrs Thompson: I am a
married woman. and have children.
My husband and 1 do not agree very
well except for the children. I try
possibly can, but l love a man several
years younger than L am. He also
claimed that he loved me and we have
been meeting very regularly during
months he has been afraid to meet
me at all, although he says he still
loves me and always will. He says
that we better not meet for while
at least. 1 hear from a friend of mine
that he is going out with a lady who
claimed to be a very dear friend of
mine. Do you think he loves me
any more? Every time we meet he
he seems glad enough to see me and
very anxious to know what 1 have
been doing. What shall L do, as 1
love him dearly?
Sacrifice your own personal desires
for the sake of your children. If
you are dishonorable and untrue to
your husband your children Will sure
ly find it out sometime and you will
lose their respect. The man PROV
ably loves you no longer, because rove
needs the light of honor to make it
lasting. He could not stand secrecy
and the greatest of all dishonors-
taking another mans wife.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am to be
married in December to a young man
in another state There are many
other men that 1 like and go with
while my intended is away, and he
would not like it if he knew. Would
it be doing him justice If 1 should
break the engagement? Do you think
1 should? X Y a.
