Young man YOU have never met. he
was very bold in asking such tnlng.
Surely il he had proper respect JOE wy
he would ask some mutual lrlehu "
furnish an introduction.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: For several
months | have been going with man
who came the nearest to being ideal OF
anyone | have ever met. do not mean
he was perfect. He had faults, put !
loved him anyway because In big ways
he was so good and kind. | saw MN
two and three times every week anu
learned to depend upon him great
deal. :. .,,.
Now he has been called out OF town
to work. miss him so much that-some-
times | think ! will 90 crazy from zone
someness. He liked me, too, but ne
could not have cared as mucn as ! o.o
or he would have SAID something DC
fore he went away.
Don't YOU think that girls as well as
men ouqht to have the privilege OF say
ina when they are In love and even pro-
posing. 5EA' HSS
Considering the natures of both man
and woman. it seems to me that II Is
Just as well to leave the. act OF pro-
posing to the man. If he loved the girl
enough to marry her he will say SO,
and if he does not love her he VIII care
all the less if he learns she is seeking
him.
Perhaps time will teach the man how
much you meant to him and he VIII
come back. Do not wait for this. now
ever. Try to be happy with what IS
left for YOU to enjoy. 1t is always a
mistake to look backward and let the
beauties of the present pass unnoticed.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: ] am mar
rled man without children and recently
we have had as a visitor young sister
of nv wife, a young girl 10 years olo.
While here she received quite good
deal of attention from the boys about
her own age. This yo,ung, iady s altowsd
o'clock at night.
Do you think a girl Of IS Is old
enough to have company at night!
think It all right for children to be
allowed to see each other, but think
it is perfectly disgusting to see girls
young men at night.
am we'll aware of the fact that girls
Of that age are receiving young men
in their homes with the permission OF
their parents, but this does not In any
way seem the proper thing. Please give
wv YOURS VERY TRULY.
I agree with you that a girl of six
teen is too Young to receive callers at
night or to go places with young men.
If Soys in the neighborhood drop IN
and stay until $3.50 or 8 O'Clock that IS
different matter.
A SIXTEEN year. old girl needs her eve
nings for study and her nights for
sleep. If she stays up late at night
she natures faster and by the time
she is old enough to enjoy young men
she is faded and old.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: ] am youn0
man of %. was married and lost my
wife last year. ! miss her, for loved
her dearly, and | can't rest because OF
thinking of her. A man never knows
how much a woman means until after
she Is gone.
All | do Is wander from place to place.
lost my wife and two children and ]
have two children left. 1t seems as II
no girl wants man with children.
A WANDERING HEART.
Many men with children marry again.
Take more interest in your work so
that you will make good living and
can offer a girl some chance for hap
piness more than caring for two chill
dren. 1t is not a pleasant prospect to
care for someone else's children unless
there is enough money to do so COM
fortably.
If you have failed to find second
wife it is probably because you have
not courted her right. Take her places
and do not expect her to be happy
merely with calls from you. 1t is fool
ish to give up hope, because you can
find a girl who will be glad to marry
you.
