7 Dear Mrs Thompson: l am 25
years old. l am an oily child and
| my parents think there is no one
in the world good enough for me.
have always been rather popular,
| but they have never liked any
young man who has paid me atten-
| ton. The more that a man has
| seemed to like me the more they
have objected to him. Several times
| they have been so unfriendIy that
| the man has given me up entirely
For about a year | have kept
company with a fine young man
| three years my senior. Everyone
except my parents thinks that he is
! the most attractive man | have
ever known, but as usual my par
| ents condemn him.
This man has asked me to marry
/ him and l have accepted because l
love him. My parents threaten me
with all sorts of disaster If l do
marry him. Do you think l would
do wrong if l married him in spite
of their opinion? He is a man of
good character and he has a splen-
did position for a man of that age
What shall l do? EDNA.
You are old enough to rely upon
your own judgment. If you are sure
that you love the man | think you
should marry him. It is natural
that your parents should think
there is no one good enough for
you, since you are their only child
In time they will become reconciled
to your marriage and see that you
did the right thing.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young girl and in love with two
young men. One of them is a coun-
try boy and insists upon my leav-
ing my home and going down south
where he lives.
The other is a city boy and has
a position with good salary. l dis
like the country. Therefore I am
undecided about what to do. Please
advise me. YOURS TRULY.
A married couple cannot be hap
Ply together unless they have con-
genial tastes. Do not marry the
country boy, since you know that
you would not enjoy life in the
country with him.
You are not in love or you would
not think you were in love with
. two young men. When love is deep
it belongs to one person only.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l have met
a young man who wants me to go
places with him, but he will not call
at my home to take me. He wants
me to meet him on the street cor
ner. l know that my parents would
object to this. Do you think I,
should go with him under the cir
cgmstances? He seems to be a
fine fellow otherwise.
IN DOUBT.
Unless he will call at your home
do not accept his attentions. Your
parents should have the emporium
ity of meeting him, and if he is not
willing to let them something must
be wrong with his character which
he is afraid they will detect.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 7 am a girl
of II I have never had many boy
friends. | went with several boys
last summer and / could not tell
whether they were true or not.
ny w nv tItEpOllu Win me
now. | wonder if they thought /
was frivolous or fiirted. l am sure
that my conduct around them was
always most ladylike. Tam consid-
cred very attractive girl.
Please tell me some way in which
10 gain the affection of boys.
GRAY EYES.
Seek love and IL will fee from
thee, fee love and 1t will follow
thee. DO not think about having
boy friends. Take a lively interest
in your school work, your sports
and social activities. and, because
you are interested yourself, you will
be interesting You cannot make"
boys like you, and the less you try
the happier you will be-
