mrs ELrZARITI TLoMPSONl

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am a young
man "a years old and am engaged to
young lady three years my jun
ior. We have been engaged for about
two months, and, owing to my finanial
condition, it will be several more
months before we can be married.
There is Just one thing which prevents
our engagement from being happy
one for me, and. as l know that you
have given good advice which has
helped others when in trouble, | am
writing you in the hope that you can
suggest a practical way out of my
dilemma.
The young lady to whom l am en-
gagged is of a very affectionate dispo-
sition, and when we are alone she
seems to expect me to kiss and en-
brace her continually. Now l love this
girl deeply and am true to her in
word, thought and deed, and | am de-
monstrative to certain extent, but
l cannot but feel that to spend ex-
tended periods Of time in each others
arms (Which is what she seems to
expect and desire} is bound to be del
eterious to both Of us. In all but this
one thing she seems to me to be the
embodiment of all things desirable in
sweetheart or wife, and / hesitate
to express, to her, my feelings on
| this subject, as she is very tender
hearted and l would not wound her
| feelings for the world If you can
suggest some way in which | can ap-
prise her, without hurting her feel
ings, of the light in which | view the
matter, l shall be everlastingly CRATE
full to you. WORRIED.
| Some evening when the girl has
been particularly demonstrative tell
her frankly, yet in the kindest pos
sible way, how you feel about the
matter. Nowadays a wife needs to be
an intellectual companion to make
marriage a success. Life is not one
round of love and kisses and it will
be well for the girl to realize this
/ fact now so that establishment will
not be so great after marriage. You
and she ought to be perfectly happy
talking, walking and reading to-
gether and occasionally going to a
place of amusement.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: % l am
just 16 and have gone with but one

This remarkable statement
