mothers err on the side Of effort
rather than neglect

pretty enough Of themselves without

sMAR MARRIAGES,

WAR MARRI AGEs.H
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
we are 10. We are good chums
and have been such for the past
two years. Two years ago, at a
reception, we met two young
men, one Of whom was then 10
and the other 20. We grew to
love these men. who have en-
listed and are now at camp. OF
course, we cannot see much Of
them, and although we are not
formally engaged, they wish Us
to marry before they leave for
France. and they intend to leave
soon Now. Miss Fairfax, we wish
your advice as to whether this
would be the right thing to do.
Our parents do not object, but
they also await your reply as to
the propriety OF the affair.
K. and B
Propriety does not enter into the
case at all Since you have the con-
sent Of your parents you have moth
ing TO hinder you or urge you on ex-
cept your own real feelings Don't
enter on these war marriages as 3
little adventure. Don't let excite
ment and romance urge you 20 a step
whose seriousness you do not recoE-
nize. But II you and your sweet
hearts care deeply and truly for each
other, go ahead, and God bless you.
