Dear Mrs. Thompson: Just before
Christmas got a letter from an old
friend saying that she was coming to
visit me and would be at our house
for Christmas day. / was very glad
to see her again and made her most
welcome, but my husband did not like
her at all. After Christmas she die
not say anything about going, but
stayed on and didn't help any. She
was there just three days and after
supper my husband got mad at some
thing she said and he got up and put
on his coat and hat and told me right
in front Of her that he was going away
and would stay away until he could
have his home to himself and his fam
lily. He said that l could phone him
at work when the house would be
free for him to come back. OF course
my little friend left the next morning
broken-hearted. I was SO mortified
didn't know what to do. have never
seen my husband act SO before. II
my friend had stayed several weeks
could have forgiven him more easily
What can I do to make my friend for
give me? l told her before she left
how l felt and she just declared she
could never forget it. MRS. Nice.
Your friend will not blame you when
she thinks it over Just forget the
unfortunate occurrence and at Easter
time send her pretty card or greet
ing. Remember that you are not re-
sponsible for the things your husband
does and even If your friend does not
! forgive you you need not reproach
] yourself.
| Dear Mrs. Thompson: am is years
old and I have been going with a
young man 20. He took my ring and
now we have broken up want the
ring back very badly and I do not
know how to get 1t unless I go to the
shall do? DOUBTFUL.
Write letter to the boy and ad-
dress it to his place of business. Make
it disinterested letter and simply
ask for your ring. Do not refer to the
fact that you are no longer friends. 1t
will be much better to write than to
call on him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am girl
of Is. My life is very uncomfortable.
I have a friend who is over in France
for each other. He has been gone sew
eral months and l have not heard
from him once. but while he was in
the United States I received several
letters from him. Now there is an
other who loves me and wants me to
marry him.
People tell me that my first friend
will not come back and for me not to
worry, but go ahead and marry the
second.
1 know could be satisfied with the
second until the first comes back, and
even then would not let the first
come in between my husband and my
self. have tried to forget the first
but I can never do it.
Do you think he has forgotten me?
And what would you advise me to do!
/ My folks are awfully cross and are
all the time quarreling with me.
WAITING NJ.
\ Do not marry Trust the first man
because you love him. I can tell from
the tone of your letter that you want
to get away from your family and set
tie down and that you are not in love
with the second man. You simply fee
that you could live happily with him
At the same time you know you could
live happily without him. Such should
not be the case. There are many rea.
sons why you do not hear from the
Trust him and help him with your
faith
You will ruin your whole life If you
enter into a loveless marriage now
The other man will want you when he
come back, and if he finds you already
married you will spoil both your life
and his.
l think 1t is all right for you to &C
