Heart and Beauty
Problems
By MRS. ELIzARErH rHoMpso,

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am young
man who has very good position and
am able to give girl a mighty good
home and all the comforts of life
have lot of friends among the young
ladies and take them out to the thea
ter. dances and parties. yet 1 have new
er met one whom l felt 1 could ever
care enough for to marry. ] am 35
years old and in all probability I have
got to the stage where l scrutinize peo-
pie more closely than 1 should. There
isn't fellow In the world who wishes
to have home any more than l do,
but l have got to the point where all
women look alike.
Don't think 1 am pinning roses on
myself. for such is not the case. No
church or church gatherings. 1 at
tend church every Sunday rain or
shine. Then again you may tell me
that I didn't get the girl of my choice
at one time. That is true When L
was twenty-three l was engaged to
little girl aged twenty-one and the
date was set for the wedding and
even went so far as to JON her
church. For various reasons the en-
gagement was broken. but 1 am glad
to say that after joining her faith I
have gone every Sunday to church
except in cases of sickness.
This girl was not only wearing a
diamond which 1 gave her. but also
had one in her possession given to
her by party out of town. I
had to decide between us. Come TO
find out the other man was divorced
and our religion won't permit any
thing of that kind. She is still
single from last reports and is in
California. I have no desire to even
meet her again. What would you
suggest? BILL.
1 wonder if you are honest with
yourself. Your letter sounds as il
you were very lonely for the girl
in the years you have been without
her you have made yourself firmly
believe that you do not want TO meet
her again. My advice is to find out
where she is and write or go to her.
You may find her very much changed,
but still the ''old girl Single life
is not natural and both of you will
be so much happier together. Don't
judge her harshly because she was
engaged to a divorced man. Love
goes where it will regardless of re-
ligion and everything else. Remem-
Der that it is not your duty to punish
her You are tired and bored with
yourself or you would not look upon
girls with the indifference you now
feel
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a
young man almost 20 and am in love
with two girls. One is about 81,
while the other is only II. Neither
ot these two girls is considered my
equal socially. The first lives in a
nearby town and is engaged to be
married and / believe she loves me
yet, as l have received several letters
from her asking me not to discon-
TIME writing to her as her affections
toward me are the same as they have
ever been 1 really love her better
| than i do the younger girl, but can
not say that l do not love the latter,
Is I have been acquainted with her
longer, but she seems so young.
The older girl is well educated and
a perfect lady altho she is not my
equal In a recent letter she asks
me not to take it so seriously that
she is engaged as there is plenty of
| time before the license is signed.
Cd What shall L do? Should 1
continue my correspondence with her
or should I drop it?
(2) What should I do about the
girl of II? Do you think she is too
| young for me?
know a lot of other girls. but none
of them appeals to me as these do.
| UNASSUMING.
| 1t sounds caddish to say that the
girls are not considered your equal
socially. 1t is bad enough for a girl
to be a snob, bat it is far worse for
| a man.
% Drop your correspondence with
the engaged girl.
