LETTER FROM A. }. DRAPER
Somewhere In France.
Oct. 2, 1918.

The Greeneville Sun,
Greeneville, Tenn,
Dear Editor
Will write you a few lines to let
you know / am getting along nicely,
and hope you are the same. No
doubt you are getting good news
from over here, and it is true, for
am here where can get the dope"
The Sammies are taking lots of pris-
oners, but a great many of the boys
| talk to who are being relieved at
the front say they are trying to leave
as many on the field as possible, to
keep from being bothered with them.
/ was talking to a fellow this morn
ing who was in big drive a few,
and he said the Americans are push
ing the Huns back so fast they could
hardly keep up with them. If our
American boys would check up when
they start a drive, we would have
fewer casualties to report, but they
run into their gun barrage some
times and of course the result is they
get shot up. But at that they never
stop until they get the Huns. ! have,
and am seeing lots and lots of bum
gled up soldiers and Hun prisoners.
They have been having some bad
weather to fight in for the past two
weeks. It rains great deal of the
time. The Huns are glad to be cap
tured by the Americans but are not
fond of the English and French. !
overheard a prisoner say the other
day after we had finished checking,
that the Kaiser could 60 and hang
himself for all he cared. He seemed
to be very happy that the Americans
had charge of him.. and its that way
with great many of them ! am sure.
Well, so much for that.
Iwant to ask the editor to send me
copy each week of the Greeneville
Sun. / am always so glad to hear
from you all. ! can tell you lots of
my experience when get home again
! would like to say word for the
Red Cross just here; also the K. of
C. and the salvation army. These
three organizations are on the front
with the boys that need them, and /
am sure they are doing their bit in
this great war. ! hopeno one will
fail to help these organizations at any
time.
/ understand you are going to have
a Fourth Liberty Loan campaign.
Don't fail to put this over, for that
is going to be the biggest end Of our
victory. feel sure our country will
not fail us at this time. We are try
ing to do our bit over here and when
we get back we want to hear that you
have also done what you could. That |
will sound good to us, and we don't |
want to see anyone that failed to
give us a helping hand.
| am hoping that by the time you
hear from me again there will be
peace. Let me hear from you all
often. ] will close for this time.
With best regards to all, and wish
ing you a merry Christmas, remain,
Sincerely,

a diamond? TEETSIE
A plain band ring is used for a
wedding ring and it would not sug-
gest engagement. An opal, anne
thyst, and few other stones are not
expensive. 1t would be better to
choose a ring with an inexpensive
stone.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am twen-
ty-one years old and man thirty
five has proposed to me. He makes a
good salary and is a fine man, but
cannot love him. He is a business
friend of my fathers and father
wants me to marry him.
| have soldier friend in France
who went with me several months
before he went across. Although he
did not ask me to marry him before
he left know he thinks lot of me.
He writes to me as often as he can
now and his letters sound even more
friendly than before he went across.
Do you think ought to marry the
older man TO please father
BILLY
A girl should choose her own hus-
band. She and not her parents must
live with him. Do not marry the
man if you do not love him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
woman twenty-five years old and am
in love with man / have not met.
Can you tell me how l can meet
him? ANXIOUS.
If YOU have no mutual friend to
introduce you, there is no way to
become acquainted. 1t is unwise to
get in the habit of thinking you love
him. 1t can only be imagination
since you have not met and talked
to him. Imagination in that form
can cause great deal of unhap-
pinness and should not be encour-
aged.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Will you
please state in your column whether
boy nineteen years old must have
the consent of his parents to obtain
marriage license? If so should one
of his parents go with him when he
gets it? GRATEFUL.
A boy of nineteen must have the
consent of his parents to marry. They
should either go with him to obtain
the license or furnish an affidavit.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) am a
young girl. When young man calls
and it is time to start if we are go
ing out, is it proper for me to ask
him in, or just go to the door and
go back out to the machine with
him? / did the latter for it was late
and some friends were out in front
waiting for us. Was it the proper
thing to do?
~ Should he or l first mention
going home when we are out for sup
per at private home?
(3) When he calls to go for ride
and / don't think he is coming in,
should l go out? If he does come
to the door, don't you think it would
be all right to ask him in if it isn't
late or time to go?
(4) If he comes in who should
mention starting first he or 1?
MANY THANKS
(1) 1t is proper for you to go to
the machine with him at once if YOU
are all ready. In case you have to
get your wraps you should invite him
in until you get them and are ready
to start.
(2) You should mention going
(3) Let him come to the door and
ring. 1t shows greater courtesy on
his part than to sit in the machine
and honk until you appear. 1t is all
right to invite him to come in.
(4) He should suggest going when
it is time, but if he does not, you
might say that you are ready to go
any time.

The boy has reasons to be angry.
You have no more right to read an

friendship with him.
