Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-03-10


been going with Bill about six
months and he has been very gooo
to me. He never talks to any other
girls and never trifles, and he ex-
poets the same from me. At times
/ think l love this boy and again
care nothing for him l was writing
to some boy friends and quit writ
ing to all of them except one, and
! 1 could not give him up, as ! care
a great deal for him.
1 told Bill 1 wrote to no one.
Steve (that is the boy write to- is
coming to see me in a few weeks
and will have to give him all my
spare time, as he lives many miles
from here and Is making this spec
ial trip to see me.
| Both men want me to marry
them, but / am not sure which one
care for more, as 1 haven't seen
Steve for a year and a half al
though we have been writing all
that time.
am almost afraid to tell Bill. as
he is very jealous of me. Did l do
wrong in not telling him OF the 9TH
er boy? If l had told him 1t would
have caused trouble.
Please tell me what to do, as
would like to keep both boys for
my friends. THANK YOU.
Since both of the young men
want to marry you, you must
choose between them. 1t is not fair
to either to keep both of them as
friends" If l were you / would
tell Bill that an old friend is COM
ing to see you and that you are go
ing to devote much of your time
to him while he is in town. If Bill
objects, tell him that you are not
sure of your affections and that you
must see your old friend again
before you can make up your mind.
After you have renewed your ac-
quaintance with Steve, make up
your mind.
You should not have deceived
Bill. Now If you tell him of your
correspondence with Steve he will
lose his faith in you. Do not tell
him If you can avoid It, because the
truth would hurt him so much. But
learn from this experience to be
honorable and worthy of the trust
q man has for you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: As my
mother does not live in this state,
am coming to you for advice.
I was married at the age of eigh-
teen. l have two children. When
married my husband, his people
were we'll thought of, but since we
were married his sisters have grown
up and have not the best of reputa-
tions. They care nothing for youth |
or gray hair just so they have their |
good time.
No matter where I go, someone is |
always talking about how they act, !
and if l am where they are am
ashamed of their vulgar talk and |
unladylike ways.
One of them is married and her !
husband is in France. Really, her |
actions are terrible. My mother-in- |
law always finds fault if get a new
hat or dress. She says the old one
was plenty good enough for a mar
ried woman. But her married |
think nothing of paying |
s12 for a pair of shoes. and their
husbands work by the day.
My husband thinks I ought not to
notice what they say, but I had the |
very best mother and was raised so
very differently that sometimes |
think / can stand it no longer. l
want to go where l never see or
hear anything about them again.
Please do not think ! do not love
my husband and the Riddles. think
there is no one like their daddy.
DISCONTINUED.
You must get over the idea that
the actions of your sisters-in-law
reflect on you. You are responsible
for your own character and the J
