A LONELY BESSIE.

ANSWER-I can't see that it
is very wrong of your brother
to want to take you to places
himself. I think you are very
fortunate to have such brother.
Perhaps if you would explain to
him that you don't like to leave
so early, he might give you his
reason-no doubt he has a good
one. Do as he asks you, rely on
his judgment Ca mans judgment
of men is much better than that
of a GRID and wait until you are
older. Then he will allow you
to make your own decisions
when he feels that you are old
enough to know how to make
them.

two years old. His wife has been
dead five months. He has three chill
dren aged under seven. love
him dearly, and he says he loves
me and has asked me to marry him
What would you advise me to do?
PAT.
ANSWER-I advise you to
have nothing at all to do with
that widower, who hasn't the
good taste to wait until his wife,
the mother of his children, has
been dead at least year, and
who hasn't enough judgment and
kindness to leave mere child
alone. Does your mother know
that this man is making love to
you? He should be ashamed OF
himself. How could you mother
his three little children and be a
wife to him when you are MOTH
ing but a child yourself? Seek
a more wholesome cOmpanlonShlp
with girls and boys your own
age-and think a long, long time
before you consider marriage
with a man eighteen years older
than you are. Marriage at best
is not one long romance, and
without love it means great I'M

enough for love and marriage.

man is a f1irt, your pride should
