Dear Mrs. Thompson: am go
ing with a man of IS. He loves me
dearly but cannot marry me on ac-
count of a dependent mother who
wishes him to keep single for her.
she is about so. He says will
have to wait until she has passed
away.
Of course he gives me a little en-
couragement sometimes and says,
You won't have to work so very
long" l am 80 myself and work
very hard at my position. l am
DESTROYS of home and children. !
love him dearly. If | wait, which
may be many years, my hearts de-
sire will not be fulfilled and l will
have him perhaps in declining
years, with only his companionship.
What would you advice me to do!
PERPLEXED.
The man has a wrong conception
of duty. Since his mother is de-
pendent upon him he should see
that she is clothed. fed and provid-
Ell with as good home as he is
able to give her. But all this is
possible IL he marries. If his
mother is selfish enough to wish
kim to remain single with her, he
should not crafty that wish.
The woman man loves also has
her claim upon him. She is entitled
to marriage in her early woman
hood and to children. If the man
does not mary although he loves
her. he is neglecting his duty to
her.
The three of you can make your
home together and at least you and
the man will be happier. If you are
considerable Of his mother and try to
win her love regardless Of what she
does. you will succeed in keeping
the home happy for all three.
Explain to your flance that he is
depriving you of your right and that
be can do his duty to both you and
| his mother.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am %

three years. l haven't been happy
since l was married. l had SO

Is there q good place where

A Sad Story.
I knew one OF the darlingest girls,
She was inst too sweet for words;
Her head vas mass Of coal black curls;
Hef voice was like birds.
She had eyes like the fire Of night,
That famed brilliant blue,
And cheeks like the red OF dawn,
And lips Of scarlet hue.
But the saddest Of fates was hers.
Tho artists at her beauty said aAh!'
She suffered throughout her life
For her name was Hepzibah.

poor woodcutter did not know what to do.
He waited long, long time and called for help,
