Have been reading your advice to
the girls and decided I would come
to you for some myself. I am very
dissatisfied, want to get a job some
where and make my own living. My
parents don't seem to want me to
leave home, and yet they seem not
to be satisfied at any thing I do.
always try and do the best can and
try to do what I think is right. My
most everything to do. I don't mind
what I have to do if only she and
my father would seem to appreciate
it. I hardly ever go anywhere, but
when I do they nearly always get
angry with me. I don't go with boys
much but when I am with any l
treat them friendly.
Was twenty years old one day
this month. Do you think I am old
enough to know right from wrong
Is it right for a girl to sacrifice
herself and most of her pleasure for
the sake of her parents, when they
don't appreciate it?

and I know it is rather hard to
do things willingly for people
who do not seem to appreciate
what one does. for them. But
your mother, you say, is in i'll
health, and she complains often
when she little realizes it. She
loves you, I'm sure. And she
a great spirit of unselfishness to
give up ones own life, pursuits,
pleasures, for others. Perhaps
you will not have to do 1T long.
And you can look back at this
era of your life with thu salts
faction and knowledge that you
have done what you could. But,
on the other hand, it is up to you
to get the most you can out of
your life. Do your duty first,
then consult yourself about your
pleasure. Be happy if you can,
do not give up your friends, try
to get out of doors as much as
possible, and you will bring
cheerfulness inside. I don't think
you should sacrifice everything.
[ do not know just what kind of
Il position would suit you. Write
to me again later on, and let me
know what you would prefer do
ing. Your handwriting is very
good.
We are coming to you for advice.
I. J. C. r., the eldest, am 80 years
old, am in love with a girl Is. Do
you think she is too young to be my
wife, for she claims to love me very
dearly. Do you thing that she is low
ing me for my money or Tor myself
And she wants me to buy her pres
ents. What shall I buy her, dia-
mond ring or wrist watch? 2. I, M.
H. S., am 16 years old and in love with
a girl II years old. Do you think
we are too young to get married? She
loves me very much and [ love her.
We hope to see the answer to this
in The Tri-Weekly Journal at your
fully, j. c. r. AND M: H. S.
I think you are decidedly too
old for the girl of sixteen, and
it is not right for you to take adj
vantage of the infatuation she
holds for you and have her marry
you. Cases like yours, nine times
out of ten turn out very unhap-
PLY. The girl doesn't know her
own mind, and by the time she
is twenty she will have changed
it regarding loVe-several times.
Do not give her a handsome pres
ent of any kind. 2. M. H. S.-Yes,
I certainly do think you are too
young to marry. Neither one OF
you has any idea the responsible
tiles pertaining to married life,
and the girl is too young to be
burdened with it, and I feel sure
you are not capable of taking care
of her. Why not wait until you
are at least nty-one-perhaps
by that time you will have diff,
ferent view of life, and will I'M
