. half with . man Of twenty.
We were about to be engaged
xben the question came up Of .

lam too young TO get married, and

s.rvice over There" and would
Iike 10 walt for his return.
Now, Miss Fairfax. / have told
mir, this, and he said he doesn't
see why my brother being IN the
army should stop our wedding. so
We have broken on h b.
Of course, I think you are both
" Young for marriage and can
veli anord TO wait several years.
About that you are right on gen
sraI prfnciples. and may be wrong
IN your particular case. since per-
hans you are both mature enough
and sure enough Of each other 10
marry IN a year or two. But your
argument that you must not marry
while your brother is in service on
the other side is all wrong. He
may be in France for many years
stationed there for duty after the
war is over. II Is humanity possible
that he will fall in love and marry
some girl over There" For you
to postpone your wedding until his
return is a romantic idea that does
credit 20 your sisterly affection.
But Il isn't practical and ] am sure
your brother would not feel that
