MRS ELI TEeMQSo

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 26 years
old and l am engaged to a man that
my parents do not like. He is very
quiet and is not good-looking. 1 love
him and it hurts me to have them feel
the way they do. The man l am en-
gagged to is making $50 a month and
am making $40. Do you think 1t would
be mistake for us to marry if l go
right on working? / dread the thought
of being an old maid, and If I do not
marry now l am afraid ! always shall
be. My parents say such cutting things
and so do my sisters that l would like
to get away. Do you think 1 should
marry now?
UNHAPPY GIRL.
An old maids lot is not nearly so
miserable as that of a wife unhappily
married. Give up the idea of working
after marriage. You cannot mix the
two successfully. Surely you DO not
think of marriage without children,
and If you have them the little folk
will need your undivided attention.
Sixty dollars is not enough to live on
and so you better give up the idea of
marriage until circumstances are more
favorable. Twenty-six is not old and
there is no reason for you to look upon
marriage as hopeless.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am II years
old and l consider myself old enough
to be respected, but 1 have a brother
who humiliates me all the time When
young men come to see me he comes
in the room where I am entertaining
and he makes very crude remarks i
have spoken to my mother and father
of this, but they do nothing. My broth
er is IA and ought to know better
What shall 1 do? FLORENCE.
Bride our brother to stay out. Tell
him that you will make him candy or
give him a nickel IL he doesn't appear
during the evening. All boys of Ia
like to hector. You will gain nothing
by complaining to your parents and
you will gain much if you make it ap-
pear desirable to him to stay away.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: There is
boy with a machine who has asked
for my company He went to school
when l did. Both of us have stopped
now. / am Is and he is II. My par
ents, my father especially, say that |
cannot go with him. He has asked me
to go riding with him anyway. Should
do it? l know he is a nice boy.
DON'T KNOW.
Your parents have your interests at
heart. Respect their advice and don't
go.

To Avoid Ddndruff

You do not want a slow treatment
when hair is falling and the dandruff
germ is killing the hair roots. Delay
means-no hair
Get, at any drug store, a bottle OF
size: Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. 1t kills the dandruff germ,
nourishes the hair roots and immediately
stops itching scalp. 1t is sure and safe.
IS NOT greasy, is easy to use and will not
stain. Soaps and shampoos are harm
ful, as they contain alkaH. The hest
thing to use is zemo, for it is pure and
also inexpensive.
