It i safe for me- 10 stay by myself?
There is an old friend of my Ius-
Nard' family about fifty years of age,
who stays a. our house when my hus-
hand is at home. Since nv husband
has h"on away he has had nowhere
to stay, being WHOEVER, and wants
to stay at my house at right. The
neienbors around here don't seem to
'hink it is right, but | can't see any
HARM as he sleeps upstairs Let me
know what YOU think about it.
have one npighbOr friend here who
- very GOOD to me and the other
nCighhOrs have told me things about
ner They got ang'y at hor because
heir husbands had a little trouble.
! DO not want any trouble with any
Of the neiGhbors because | must live
hcro AMONGST them. What should
say to them when they talk about her
10 me- +, D.
Whether 0" not il is safe for You
t" he alone at night depends upon the
conditions under which you live-your
'
in regard to fear, and the Closeness
OF your NeiehbOrs. Personally | ad-
mire Il woman who is fearless and
does not hesitate to stay in a house
alone.
IN the end YOU viii probably find it
more satisfactory if YOU do not let
the tri7n d of your husbands stay in
Your homo during the absence of YOUR
husband. Although YOU and the man
and your husband all start out with
the right attitude toward it, unhappi-
ness might come to one of you Your
husband might become jealous with
out cause, or a new love might come
to the man or to you. 1t will be bet
ter not to play with fire.
Keep the neighbor friend who is
Kind to you. Tell the neighbors who
do the talking that YOU like the wo-
man. Don't be afraid of losing their
friendship, because ii you are cordial
TO them they will like YOU anyway
