Dear Mrs. Thompson-I am a SELF

though she has said that she will never
marry me, ! hope to change her mind
Please advise me as to a method.
Why not cease speaking of love to
her and apparently interest yourself in
others. If possible find out about the
college professor and ascertain wheth-
er or not he will ever be in the position
to marry. Possibly he is already mar
ried. If 50, learn what kind of a wife
he possesses. Discuss him with the
young lady and try to marry her to
him. Women are perverse creatures
and they always want to do what 9TH

you favor the match you will break it
up sooner than if you try to prevent

ton to whatever they say thereon, and
think it best that you start out your
welded life unhampered by criticism
and gossip. Everybody is prone to in
terest themselves in newly married cou-
pies and quite frequently this causes
unpleasantness and trouble.
