B1 MRS. BLrzABRrH TnoMrsor.

Dear Mrs. thompson: lam a young
married woman with four small child
ren,. but / do not love f5av Husband
am in love with a ma old enough
to be my father.
1 know you will think it foolish.
but love him with all my heart and
although he has never said so. l know
he returns my love. As the saying
goes. factions speak louder than
words" He is also married and has a
family. He Is an officer OF the law.
We always spoke and talked. until
some time ago by my fault something
happened to yex him and he is angry
and does not speak always. feel as
tho / should go mad. / know it is
wrong to love him. but can't help it.
I would give anything to talk things
over with him and get things settled.
a. am very sorry for what / did.
but he never gives me a chance and
1 am afraid to speak first.
Please give me your advice. Shall
I speak or wait for him? Things
have got to turn before long or ]
shall SO mad. DOWN HEARTED.
You over-estimate the regard the
officer has for you. He does not love
you. II he did. he would forgive you
and want to talk to you and see you
again.
1t is SO foolish to think that you
are going mad. Your love for your
children should be great enough to
thing. To carry on secret love af-
fair with a married man is Certainly
not honorable. Make up your mind
that you are going to be happy with
your husband and your children. II
you make the effort and do your part,
I am sure you will find greater hap
piness than thru selfish dishoDor.
Speak to the officer as you would
to any acquaintance. but do not carry
on a conversation with him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 7 am girl fif-
/ can call my own. Ny mother and
father have been separated over n
year. have one small sister, eleven
years old who is with my mother

to go to my mother. What do Won
think should do? My people win give
me good education where I am stav-
ing. They buy my clothes, but work
for everything 1 get.
L have brother seventeen wears
old. The last I knew of him he was
In Columbus. Ohio. He had drawn
his pay, which was a months earn
ings. have not heard a word from
him since. He did not 20 back to his
boarding house for his clothes I can't

spoke Of going to Canda, Akron or
Dayton, Ohio. or Detroit to WORK
