V I MRC. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 2f
years old and my brother is %. All
my life he has gone places with
me, and if another young man has
shown an interest in me he has
made it unpleasant for him so that
he would stay away. My brother
is as good as he can be and has
given up marrying so that he can
take care of mother and me.
There is a man who attends our
church who would like to keep
company with me, but l am afraid
to let him. / like this man better
than any have ever met and if my
brother offends him l will feel ter
ribly.
Do you think It would be all
right for me to ask him to meet me
secretly? ALICE H.
Your brothers great love for you
makes him jealous of intruders.
He is cheating you out of girls
right to know and enjoy men
friends. Do nothing secretly. Tell
your brother that you are interest
ed in the man and that you are go
ing to accept his invitations and
permit him to call. Appeal to your
brothers love for you and ask him
to be hospitable to the man be
cause you want him TO be.
Dear Mrs Thompson: Before my
son went to camp he married a girl
who was told by her parents that
she could no longer live at home if
she married a soldier. My son ask
ed me to take her into our home.
could scarcely refuse when he
was going away and wished il so
much. Now she is living with US
and I am very much disappointed
in her. I expected that she would
assume some of the responsibilities
but she has not. She even leaves
her bed for me to make and she
sleeps late in the morning and
comes down when all my breakfast
work is out of the way and, expects
me to get her a good breakfast.
She is a pretty girl and all of my
friends admire her. They say how
fortunate I am in having her for a
daughter-in-law. I cannot ask her
to make her home somewhere else.
What shall l do?
MRS. R.

scabies to person one sleeps with =?
