advice. 1, Sylvinia, am four feet and
seventeen years old. Am I large
enough for my age? J am in love
with boy aged twenty-five years.
Is he too old for me? He says he
loves me dearly, and I am sure /
love him. He asked me to marry
him, but I am undecided. Please
advise me what to do.
I, Emily, am eighteen years of
age, and am in love with a boy age
twenty-three. We are to be married
soon. He says he loves mea above
everything in the world, and I am
sure I love him. Do you think we
will be happy? He is a nice boy and
is wealthy. He says, he will give
me anything want. All the girls
in this section are jealous and are
trying to break us up. Thanking
you for your good advice, answer
in next Journal.
SYLVINIA AND EMILY.
Answers you frow older you
will feshen up if your health is
good. You are rather young yet to
marry. Why not have few more
years of freedom and unresponsi-
with the problem of married life,
which will surely come to you-as
it does to all. Unless you are abso-
lutely sure the man whom you are
engaged to will make you the right
sort of husband, don't risk your fu-
ture yet awhile in the marriage con-
tract. Emily-It depends largely on
your love for this young man
will "a no T1aa1Srin6
to him. If he is wealthy and that
is the main reason you are going to
marry him, you will find that wealth
does not always bring happiness.
Love is the most important thing in
marriage-for then one can give and
take, and be happy with each other
through the trials and sorrows of
married life. Do right, always-and
have no fear.
- I am a subscriber to the Atlanta
Tri-Weekly paper and / am a girl
Of 25 yeats of age, and l saw your
advice to other girls and will you
be kind enough to answer one for
me through the paper? I have been
keeping company with a boy for the
past four years. He is "a years OF
age and I think more of him than
anyone I ever kept company with.
Of course I have not been with any
other boy in over two years, for l
have been engaged to marry him
about 10 months and his mother is
dead and his father is a widoWer and
he is the only one in his family at
home left to take care of his father,
and his father is against him mar
ry, for we appointed the date to
marry and he told his father of it
and he had him to put if off, but
he still comes to see me from two
TO three times a week, and goes
with me anywhere and treats me as
politely as / would ask to be, and
seems to care more for me than
ever. And do you think he will ever
go against his fathers will, for his
father is able to take care of him.
self, and he is a good, moral boy
and always listens and obeyS him.
Do you think that his love toward
me will grow cold. But I don't be-
lieve he is going to treat me wrong
for he seems to care. too much for
me, and do you think there is too
much difference in our ages for us
to marry. He still says he is going
to marry me regardless sof his father
and I think his father will get over
it and treat him as well as ever, for
he seems too much of a gentleman
to be prejudiced against him. We
are both the same height, feet, 10
inches. I have light hair, fair com
plexion, blue eyes. My weight is
1876 pounds. He also has light hair,
fair complexion and light brown
eyes His weight is 140 pounds
He holds a very good job and is
well thought-of by all who know
him. Will appreciate your advice,
so please answer this as soon as
you possibly can in the Tri-Weekly
paper, for I am anxious to get ad
vice.
Thanking you in advance.
VICTORIA.
There is such little difference
in your age and your sweet
hearts, it really is of no conse-
quence whatever. I see no rea-
son why you and he shouldn't
marry. He is of age, and is OBJ
ligated to no one. His father
married-and his son certainly
has the same privilege. The old
man is either selfish, or doesn't
like you, or the son is blaming
it on his father to keep you from
expecting him to marry you.
Frankly, see no reason to pre-
vent the son from marrying. He
is of age, has a good job and is
strong enough, perhaps, to work
for you. I don't believe he is
very anxious to marry. He is
stalling-using his father as a
subterfuge. It seems to me the
old gentleman would welcome
daughter-in-law. Someone to
look after the home and make
it livable for he and his son.
Don't pin too much faith in this
man, let your judgment come to
the front.
I am writing to you, not for in
formation about boys, but to ask you
if you will by printing this, put me
in touch with city people who would
like to buy nice boxes of evergreens
for Thanksgiving and Christmas
decorations.
Thank you very much.
