Dear Mrs Thompson: am a
woman a year or two on the far
side Of 40 Recently I came across a
young girl who needed helping Since
that time ! have furnished her with
food, clothing and a position, At first
she seemed to appreciate my endeayor
to help her, but lately she has become
as bad or worse than she was before
l lent her my assistance. | am natur-
ally little bitter, for 1t seems that
my work was all In vain and some
times think will never help another
human being, MRS. X.
You mustn't feel that way, Think
Young girl had been worthy and you
had allowed her to pass you by? You
might have missed glorious opportu-
| nifty l had much rather make an at
tempt to help someone and fail than
to make no attempt at all.
Dear Mrs. Thompson; I am a young
girl with y brilliant future before me,
| I've already worked up to a fairly
| pleasant little pedestal and now man
has come tearing up my placid ex-
| istence, He wants to marry me and
want to know what you think of it.
NV work is writing movies. ! sell EN-
| fairly easily. | cant give up the desire
to continue my work and want the
man also. IT'S a question Of having my
cake and eating 1t, What do you ad-
wise me to do about the matter?
ALICE.

| work If you make enough money to
| share half of the expenses OF the home
| the man has no right to grumble. 1t

day. or wearing yourself out with some
petty job that was nonpaying. Times
have changed. and | really think you
would be foolish to give up your career
