you ever SO much.
TWO LITTLE SISTERS.
If your parents object to your
going out to work, and do not
wish you to leave home. I think
you and your sister should follow
their advice. If you have a good
home and comforts, you are bet
ter off there than you would be
away fro init. Everything is so
high these days you couldn't get
without it costing you a great
deal of money. My advice to you
is this, stay at home anyhow I'M
til conditions are little more
adjusted and living expenses are
not so great, you are better off
there by far than you would be
somewhere else. If you do needle
by doing some of that. Find out
exactly what you would like to
do an go to it then you will be
successful. You could get an
agency for selling magazines In
the vicinity in which you live.
Eighteen, you wouldn't marry
man just because he asked you
heart that you care nothing for
him. That would be entirely
wrong, don't do it. And the nine
teen-year-old boy is too young to
marry. Wait until he Is older.
You have plenty of time to think
about marrying anyhow and II
you wait several years longer 1t
> no set rule where you must en-
terrain your beau. In the sum-
mer time it seems to me the
porch would be cooler. It de-
ponds on what kind of letters you
write to the boy whom you have
never seen.
Please print this in the Tri-Week.
Iy, If you cannot, answer it by mail
to me. I am a lonely widow of %
and have been married five years and
I love my husband dearly, and al

him. Was good and kind and al
ways filled his wishes in every way
A year ago he left me and has al
ready sued for his divorce, and now
his sweetheart and he are going ev-
cry where. I love him now, after
what he has done and is free, but
he won't speak to me. Will it be

not able to be UP now. I had a very
nice friend to come and bring me
books and one is widower and the
other is a. young man % years old. Is
1t wrog for me, to let them come
to see me? I can't love them as
loved my first husband, and they

Would it be wrong for me to marry
one, and suggest the one a widower

Personally 1 do not think it
right for a woman to accept the
attentions from other men until
after she is legally free, and if I

you. 1t is too had that you and

BILE. 1 am loving a nice little girl
but it seems that she doesn't care
anything for me. What must do to
gain her friendship? What must
do to make her folks like me? She
has two brothers and four sister.
One of the boys likes me just fine 1t
seems. The other one. doesn't act as
friendly toward me. l think the
girl is the incest I have ever met.
She is really good-looking. How oft
en- should I go to see her and how
late should I stay? Is 1t proper to
take her to prayer meeting. Should I
ask her to kiss me good night:
Should I go with any other girl
when I care for only her. Thanking
you for advice, -
