MARY MEPEDlTH'S ADVICE
TO LONEYGlRLS AT HOME

a ma girl 16 years old, and am
coming to you for advice.
I am a girl 16 years old, and am
years old, and love him dearly, and
he says he loves me better than any
one else and wants me to marry him.
His wife has been dead two years
and he has seven children. He has
Buick "6' and comes to see me three
times a week.
Do you think would be doing
right if L Should marry him? My
parents do not object to me going
with him.
Do you think he would make me a
good husband? His Oldest child IS
Is and is married. All his children
think lots of me-
Don't you think it is right for
girl to marry the one she loves and
the one that suits her, than to marry
some other one your parents want
you to, and you don't love him?
What kind of dress would do for
my wedding dress, and what kind
Of hat and shoes.
This WidoWer and myself are enA
gagged to marry October 25 and are
going north on our honeymoon.
Please print this and give me all
the advice you can. Have written
once before but did not see it III
A. B. 1C-You, are rather
young to marry widower At
years old. Are you sure it is
hdmself you love or the Buick
49,? 1t is all very fine now
to ride AROUND in his car, and
have him show you much atten-
ton, but tits a funny thing how
quickly marriage changes these
little sentiments. He may love
you sufficient to do the right
thing by You, After all, mar
never tell how it will turn out.
A travelling suit is the most
suitable frock to marry in. One
Of dark cloth with hat and shoes
TO correspond with it. Unless
you want a strictly evening af-
falr the suit is the proper thing
Tor the occasion. Velvet hats
are the newest for fall wear. The
SHOPS have some beautiful ones
on display. Anavy blue suit for
duVetyn and brown shoes would
look very nice, or blue velvet hat,
either you prefer.
I am coming to you for advice. I
am a girl nearing the age of four
teen. 1 have brown eyes, black hair
falr complexion and weigh eighty
pounds. Do you think I weigh enough
Tor To- ~ my y, age? Am old enough to GO
should 1 be? I received a letter
from a boy and was not at home
and my brother got my letter and
read 1t, and he burnt it and would
not let me see it. Did he do right
in burning it? How should 1 fix
my hair and how long should I wear
my dresses? I think my father does
me wrong sometimes and quarrels
at me and think l shall leave home.
Where is a good place for me? Well
miss Mary. wrote once and got my
advice and wrote again and did not
see it printed at all. When 1 am at
school and every time 1 look at a
| certain boy he laughs and must L
laugh at him? I think lots of this
issue of The j ournal. DEANOR.
Dearnor: I have often said be-
fore that do not see harm in a
girl of IA having a few boy
friends, but at the same time I
90 not mean she should go about
with men of all ages, and sit up
late at night entertaining them.
| A few boy friends to meet at
your house occasionally is all
right. 1t is better to wait until
too seriously of the male sex.
| Your father should know best
what is for your good. I haven't
the right to censure him for
burning your letter. And what
ever you do, my child, don't get
your head, just now You are
too young and inexperienced to
| battle with, the world, and you
will live to regret the step if
| you take it. Try to be patient
and hope for better things. Youth
is full of fire and excitement but
it is best to hold yourself in
check now 50 that you will be
better able to cope with life
| later, when real trials arise.
Take my advice and get the no
ton Of leaving home out of your
head. Your father las the pow
er to bring you back, and it will
only cause your parents, and,
most OF all, yourself, much sor-
! row.
