RED BIRD.
Answer: If a boy makes an

should not give him another
chance to do likewise. If his sis

ANSWER - Personally, I do
not believe one should marry
again after getting a divorce,
but, legally, it is not considered
wrong. L think that it is very
foolish to rush heedlessly into a
second marriage when the first
was unhappy. If you were I'M
happy in your first marriage,
there is all the more reason why
you should be very, very sure
before you risk marriage again.

not buy me much to wear and quar-
rel with me all the time.
am corresponding with three
boys-one is seventeen, one is nine

love the one twenty-four the best.
He is a grass widoWer, a fine young
man. My father wants me to give
up all but the one nineteen, but 1
don't care anything about him.
Which do you think is the proper one
for me?
Do you think I should work in the
field and the house, and then have
them quarrel with me all the time?
This boy (the one twenty-four) and
I have been corresponding for over
five years. I feel sure that I know
him enough to marry him and be
happy with him. What would you
advise me to do? This boy used TO
be bad to drink, but he quit a few
months ago. He said that he loved
me better than anything in the world
and because I asekd him to, he quit.

What must I do?
A BROKEN HEARTED GIRL.
ANSWER: You poor child, ot
course it isn't right to make you
work so hard and then quarre
with you. But-are you quite
sure that you are not exagger~
ating-that you are doing your
share? Sometimes, one is over

own troubles, and one loses sight
of the fact that perhaps ones
own attitude is responsible for
the resultant troubles.
The man of twenty-four is
manifestly the suitable man for
you. If you are certain that you
love him enough to be happy
with him, and if you feel sure
that his reformation is sincere
and permanent, you might be
safe in marrying him.
