Dear Mrs. Thompson: 7 am mar
ried woman 40 years old and I have
a good husband. There are two men,
one single and one married, and they
both know my husband Some time
ago a jealous woman wrote letters TO
the single man and told me and each
of us that the other wag- in love with
us-that l was in love with him and
he was in love with me. She did not
sign her name, but ! found out who
it was and told my husband. He
looked at it as the silly act Of a jeal-
Gus woman, and so ] did the same.
He has forgotten by this time, but /
have not, because / hear "A little Cos
sip now and then which annoys me
greatly. The married man for some
reason ISLANDERS me to the unmarried
man and tells the most untrue things
that anyone could tell. / can't ac-
count for it unless he has heard some
things about one of my sisters-fn law
by the same name. She was away
from her husband for some time and
was not what she should have been
IF | had more positive proof Of what
the married man says to the unmar-
Tied man ] would sue him for SANDER
and make him take back what he says,
for he says some of the worst things
any man can say about a lady What
shall | do to prove that the things
that the married man imagines are
not true? THANK YOU.
l have never known a man so petty
as the married man you tell about
The things he does seem contrary to
a mans nature 1t may be that you
yourself imagine that he has said a
great deal more than he has. Talk the
matter over with your husband and
see what he thinks. To sue the man
for SANDER would only involve your
name in unpleasant court proceedings
which would help very little, if any,
to vindicate you in public opinion
You know the saying is that the hit
bird flutters. As long as you are in
nocent of the things the man says you
have done, you should not let yourself
worry Your husband and the friends
who like you and are true to you will
believe in you in spite of gossip.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a girl
of 16 and have been keeping company

Although IL seems 20 you imposst-

happiness put this boy out Of mind
Writing would probably not bring him
back and waiting would cause you
great unhappincs5 and undoubtedly
do no good. So resOlutely 60 about
meeting new friends, cultivate girl
friendships and you will find happi-
ness without his company
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a young
man of 10. I recently moved into this
locality and would like 10 meet some
girls, but am very bashful and afraid
to speak 10 them. Would you please
tell me what TO do? A.. v
There are not very many ways for
young peole who do not attend school
to become acquainted Probably the
best thing for you 20 do is join a Sun
day school and attend church gather
ings. Tell the minister that you want
to meet some girls and he will see that
you do. Try not 10 let the girls see
that you are bashful.
