Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson-If couple is
separated, can the woman take the
child away from her husband if she
is as fit as he is? She went with
other men during their married life,
and he never took her any place The
child is now with his sisters who take
care Of her through the day and they
have their evenings spoiled by her
while he runs around nights. Do you
think he should take care of her eve
nings while the sisters go for the
evening? Give me your opinion,
please. A. B. C.
The law usually gives a child to its
mother. If, however her conduct dur.
ing marriage would indicate that she
would not be the right kind of mother
for the child, some foster parents are
found. Since neither the father nor
the mother were faithful to their mar,
riage, the child was given to the faith
er's sisters, who probably are of good
character. Doubtless they do not
expect the man to stay home and take
care of the little one. The child is in
their charge and they enjoy caring
for it.
Mrs. L. T. d.: You and your
young husband certainly need advice
which / can not give you in my col
umn. Go to physician and he will
tell you things which will help you.
At thirteen years of age you are too
young.
"Leona": Since your parents do not
object to your going with the yourg
man, it will be all right to do So AL
ways remember that a girl can not be
too cautious in choosing her friends
In regard to your work. you are quite
right in asking for a bigger wage.
1 Dear Mrs. Thompson: have a lover
and have been keeping steady COM
pany with him a whole year We
never had any quarrels and get along
splendidly.
This young man is 90 years old and
] am 20. For short time he has been
talking of marriage to me. He hasn't
asked me outright to be his wife He
told me just as soon as he would have
enough money he and l could get mar
ried. l have known this young man
for several years. We used to play
together. Furthermore my father and
grandmotht , have known his parents
before he came into this world.
He said he wouldn't marry me now,
but it wouldn't be more than a year
that we would have to wait. He wants
me to have everything convenient so
that l will not have to kill myself
working. All of my relatives and my
parents like him very much.
When he was talking about waiting
a while / told him l would if l knew
he really wanted me. He said, 81 have
wanted you ever since l have been
dreaming of a pretty home. l always
had you in my dreams as a wife" Do
you think he really wants to marry
me although he hasn't asked me out
right?
Do you think l am doing right by
letting him kiss me? / knew him six
years before I let him kiss me. He
never asked me to before we went to-
gether steady.
He asked me one time, Would you
be my wife if asked you?" told him
| would give him my answer when
he asked me. He said he would never
think OF taking up a girls time so long
and not mean to marry her.
QUESTION
You should consider yourself en-.
gagged. Proposals are made in vari-
GUS ways and since the young man
has told you that he wants to marry
you and asked you to wait for him
you have every reason to take him at
his word. Tell him some time that
you would like an engagement ring.
Say that ring means more to a girl
than a man can realize.
Under the circumstances 1t is all
right to kiss the young man.
