While there is superstition that
the wearing of opals brings bad luck,
personally put no faith In such beliefs
and think they are groundless.

You did exactly right in refusing to
worry about whether man loves you
or not. Wait until you finish school
before letting such thoughts disturb
you.

on account Of his people, although he Is
a nice young man and treats me nlcaly.
What would you do2 A. w.
Your parents perhaps have excellent
rec sons for Directing TO the young man.
You do not give your age. II YOU are
stil schoolgirl or under II, your par
ents have a perfect right to advise you
regarding the sort Of man you may al
low to call upon you. Remember your

any excuse at all, starts trouble every
night.

she has said time and time again that
she would never marry unless she
could marry me. don't know how
can get loose to marry this other
ideal wife because nearly every day |
see her she says she wishes my present
wife no harm, but she does want to be
my wife a little while before she dies,
ant for her as can be. Please advise
me what to do. EVERGREEN.
My sympathy goes out to your wife.
II 10 enough to make her cross all the
Time to have husband who does not
love her and the strain of caring for a
baby There Dis great possibility that
her irrttableness comes from some
physical disturbance.
Your faith in the other woman Is UNI
warranted. She is not honorable be-
cause she Is stealing the love Of another
woman's husband. Something is wrong
with her self-respect or she would treat
you as an acquaintance and stop all
close relationship between you.
Be more considerate to the mother OF
your child. A little love will work won
ders In your home. Your wife viii be
elss irritable and more the girl you
loved when you married her.
You. as well as the other girl. have
lost your self-respect and sense of
honor.
Dear Mrs. Thompson--i have been
going steady with fellow whom I love
dearly and would rather die than lose

and wished he were az sure Of my love
for him.

Another night he he started TO leave
at II o'clock and we stood In the hail

Is, have no mother. Father used never

Your father is quite right in refusing
to let you stand in the hall. When a
young man does not take the initiative
in going, he needs to be told Your
father trusts you in big matters. but
in this little matter he does not think
You show good judgment.
IL the young man apologized to your
father, he would probably be permitted
to call at the house again. Since your
father Is right. the young man would
not compromise himself in the least by
apologizing,
You would have to gain the consent
OF your father In order to marry be-
