Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am q
young married woman, and have
not been married quite two years.
Before / was married l did some
thing which l regretted later and
1 told my husband before l mar
ried him. l knew him less than
two weeks when We married. At
that time l had a sweetheart in the
army.
saw the old sweetheart the
other day for the first time in three
years. He said he still loved me
and would like to be near me all
the time and he wanted me to meet
him on the sly. l can't forget him.
told my husband about it the
other day and he told me If l am
not happy with him I can pack my
buds and go where I will be hap
by. My husband doesn't drink. but
is always too tired to take me any
where.
When / told my husband about
my affair he took it very hard and
said broke his heart. have been
working ever since I married and
haven't a thing saved. l am sick
and tired Of this life and don't
know what to do. Please advise
me. HAZEL EYES.
Your former sweetheart is not
honorable. A man who would ask
you to, be false to your husband
would be false to you.

to stay at home every night. Your
husband ought to exert himself to
take you somewhere occasionally.
He would probably feel better him
self If he got more recreation. It
is a mistake to sleep ones life

Weigh the situation carefully be-
fore you make any decision. Count
the things you have to be thankful
for as well as those which bring
you unhappiness.

I would advise you to rest this
vacation. Work might. be . slark"
for few weeks, but in the hot
summer months it would grow
more tiresome than staying at
home. Your summer can be full of
interest if you try to make it SO.
There are many good books to read,
gardens to be cultivated, homework
to be done and dresses to be made.
You might get DICE work, but It
would not pay much. Temporary
Jobs never amount to much. After
you have graduated from high
school you will have time enough
to work.
II you need the money, that is a
different matter, of course. Then
every dollar counts and it would
not be SO foolish to content your
self with the small pay of a sum
mer job.
You probably expect me to sug-
eest . variety of things you might
do. There is not . variety. You
probably would not consider wait
ing on table at q. summer resort,
and / would not advise a girl of
your age to do such a thing.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am q

much in love with a man Is years

harm In going with him?
BLUE EYES.
You know better than any one
else whether there is any harm in
going with the man. A man ci
that age shows very quickly
whether or not he has lost his
ideals and whether he respects
women. Unless yon gain some
thing worth while from Your
friendship with him and unless YOU
are sure be Is . good man, do moi
spend time with him.

You would be happy together for
