My dear child, 1 would not
consider, at your age, marry
ing any man, much less a wild
over with four children who
is almost old enough to be your

have realized that fact Have
you stopped to consider that
he is 81 years older than you
are, and do you know how much
trouble all children are, even
ones own dearly loved babies.
You are nothing but a child
turself, and cannot at your age
.ove man in the way a woman
should love the man she mar
RIGS. Listen to what you par
ents say, and believe what [ tell
.ou.. II you run away with this
man, who ought to be ashamed
Of himself for suggesting it,
lou will be wretchedly unhappy
all your life. And when one is
unhappy marriage, even life it
self, is almost unbearable. Don't
do it.

'nu am engaged to a boy twenty
4ur Are we too young to marry?
We have been going together over
three years. I am sure that love
him dearly, and he says that he loves
me. He has gone to another CITY,
far away. and l haven't seen him
in three months. He writes me oft
en- and said he just could not come
me? How long should 1 wear my
dresses? How should 1 fix my hair?
i have black hair, brown eyes, medi-
UNI complexion. What colors suit me
best? / am 5 feet inches tall, and
weigh 1S7 pounds. Do yoq think
think it Is right to go out with boys

Answer-Indeed you are not
too young to marry. You don't
know how much I enjoy saying
sr,f@
letter like yours is Cor how rare).
Twenty-one and tWenty-four are
ideal ages for marriage. You
have known the young man three
years, so l am sure you are
capable of knowing whether or
not you really love him. His
reason for not coming to see you
is a good one, and L do not think
it means that he doesn't love you
rather, it means that he is
working hard to make a home
for you.
Skirts are worn rather long
this season, although the sum
spring suits. About an inch
above the ankle would be about
right---f1ve to seven inches from
the floor is the favored length.
Do your hair simply. in a style
that becomes the shape of your
lace. mat is the test OF nalf-
dressing, and that IS the reason
it is hard for me to suggest a be-
coming style for you.
Dark blue, soft shS,1es of blue,
rose, yellow, soft gray (when
worn with a bit of bright blue
or rose) should be becoming to
you.
It is all right for girl your
age to go out with boys in the
evening, if she does not stay
too late.
am a girl of fourteen. Am I too
young to have boy friends. [ am go
ing with a boy eighteen, and he said
that he loves me, and [ am sure I
love him. How long should 1 wear
my dresses? And how should l fix
my hair? Is it any harm for me to
go to church with boy if my par
ents are along? Is it all right for a
girl and boy to correspond when they
