AN ENGAGED GIRLS TROUBLES

Dear Social Corner Sisters: So many ot my acquaintances and friends find good helps through the columns of The Social Corner that I am going to. ask some of the wise writers to ad- wise me little.
 I am as good as engaged to a very nlce young man, of whom. of course. am very fond. and am sure he loves me dearly. But do you think I would be happy if l were to marry him? It is not fault, to be sure, that he just worships his dear mother; but the latter is, think, quite too dom- ineering.
 For example. we were all at a dance not so long ago and when it came to the opening grand march, tha t mother insisted that her son go as the partner of his sister, although l was in their box. The young man came back and he and I had the first dance together. for by that time he had provided his sister with a part ner But wasn't l justified in feeling hurt at the mothers way of ruling her son in that fashion, I was per fectly willing to have his sister with us,I for she is lovely girl and I am very fond of her; but she, too, has tc walk the chalk mark as her mother directsl | Won't some of the experienced Sis ters of The Corner advice me, for ] have no near relatives of my own ir | this state, whether am going to b. happy. if I risk having such a wo. man for mother-in law? She insists | too. that when We marry we mus make our home with her. although tn, son has fine salary; but he is he only boy, adored. although she ha three daughters, two married and liv ing away from thei rhome town Sometimes I am almost tempted t, break. our engagement, although tn young man is handsome of good hab its, and to marry him means mucl to me in social way.
