NARY MEPEDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

1 am. a girl fifteen years OF age.
l married when was fourteen. My
husband only lived with me six
months. One day he got his hat and
left. I haven't heard or seen any
thing of him. I don't know any rea-
son for him leaving me. Now I am
in love with a nice young man, age
twenty. I am sure he loves me-
He has asked me to marry him.
Would you advise me to get di-
vorce and marry him? I still love
my husband. We never did have
any short words to cause him to
leave. He always treated me kind
and good. I don't know whether to
marry this fellow or not. I mighz
get to live with my husband some
time. He has been gone almost a
year. / don't know where he is
Please advise.
BLACK-EYED MABEL.
ANSWER You see, it is
just as am always tell
ing the girls who write
to me. You married before you
were old enough to be married
and now you are unhappy. If
were you I would have nothing
to do with this other boy. You
are still too young for sweet
hearts or husband. I wish you
and all the other girls could
realize that there are many
wonderful things in the world
that are much better than an
imitation of love. Love itself
is beautiful and fine, and means
happiness, but q fifteen-year-
old girl is not ready for it. Can
you read? Have you been 20
school? Don't you want to inn
prove yourself and grow into a
bright, attractive, useful wom-
an? Why not think along these
lines instead of about another
foolish little boy, and later it
may be that you and your young
husband may meet again and
really find happiness together?
Here I come for advice but not
all together about boys, for, as
am only fifteen years old, 1 think
I am too young to have callers every
Sunday. Don't you? What will take
soiled spots off of grey and purple
satin dressed. IF a girl wishes to
hold a boys hat at a singing or
church, should she ask him for IT
md if so, what should she say?
ANSWER-You are very sensi-
bic, because you are much too
young for callers. Gasoline will
take off the spots on the dresses.
II would be foolish to set up in
church with the boys hat. Let
him put it in the proper place.
|. am coming to you for advice.
I am a girl seventeen. I have been
corresponding with boy, age TWEEN
ty. He comes to see me twice every
week. Do you think that's too often?
He wanted me to kiss him goodnight
one night I would not kiss him. He
hasn't been back since, but he is
begging me to let him come back.
What would you d. about it? He is
a nice young man. Do you think l
am old enough to marry? What
color would suit me best? I have
brown hair and eyes and medium
complexion. Please advise me, your
advice will surely be appreciated.
BROWN CURLS.
ANSWER-Twice every week
regularly is rather often for a
boy to call unless you are en-
gagged. Ou ala flSnI IN feLuS-
ing to kiss him. I see no reason
why he should not call again
since you are wise enough to
forbid such familiarities. You
are rather young to marry, I
think All shades of brown and
tan and blue will be very be-
coming to you.
