Dear Mrs. Thompson: Last sum-
mer while at the lake l met young
travelling man who was spending his
vacation there. After he left the lake
he wrote to me regularly and came
often to see me. His routing was a
southern one and he used to go to a
certain town down there to see anoth-
er girl about every two weeks. He
always told me about it though 1
thought very much of him and it
made me jealous. l wrote to him and
told him that l did not care to see
him again and I did not want him to
write. I told him I was not angry,
but just Disguised with his actions. 1
1 still care for him. He told me once
that he loved me and asked me to
marry him. Do you think he meant
/ it? Would you write a letter of apollo
gy or wait for him to write?
faithful that it would probably be best
! in the long run to try to forget him.
! However, if you are sure that he
would make a good, reliable husband,
I think it would be all right to apollo
gize Don't be too abject if you do
write. without knowing the man 1
can't tell whether he really meant that
he loved you and wanted to marry
you. If something within you made
you feet that he did not mean it, be-
ware of him. Intuition rarely fails.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a mar
ried woman thirty-one years old and
have three little children 1 have
been married eleven years. I knew
that my husband drank before 1 mar
ried him. but he tried so hard to over
come his habit and we loved eact
other so much that I married him any
way. At first he tried to keep sobe
for my sake, but for the last few year
he has been very selfish and he con
siders no ones wish but his own H
worships the children and they d.
him, and still he cannot keep sobe
: for their sake. He brings them at
tractive presents and books with prett
illustrations when they really nee
shoes and better food.
In spite of my husbands drink habi
and his selfishness l love him and
would do anything in the world to he'll
! him get over his habit. Our eldes
child. a boy, is nine years old and i
breaks my heart to have him see hi
! father IN the condition he so oftel
does. My husband has settled dow

I up trying. What can l do? l haV
not known a moment free from Worr
since 1 have been married and at time
