Yours truly,
| Eighteen years Is rather young to
marry. and yet if the young man has a
good record and YOU know something
OF him and his surroundings, feeling
that he will make good husband, the
TACT that you are only eighteen is not
one 10 prevent the marriage, if you
love him That is one essential you
forgot to mention Another thing you
might take into consideration. is. the
fact that ii is not necessary that hus-
band to be a good one should. care for
dancing schools Ii he dances to your
music at home. that should be quite an
item.
Dear Madame:
A man forced his attentions on me
about two months ago, telling me that
he cared a great deal for me, that he
wanted to be with me, and said many
iauefing things TO me. | told him
that he was foolish as he was married
and so am l. that ii would be only 4
matter of time before he would tire OF
me, and that ii would save both our
self respects if we would be just good
friends He succeeded in convincing
me that he would be a dandy pal, and
have spent two very pleasant even
ings with him. Now have not heard
from him for about three weeks. What
would you advise me to do:
Stupid
Mind your own business, and let an
other woman's alone. The man has
no more right to your companionship
in the way you have led me TO believe
you mean, than you have to his. You
have done your husband a grave injus-
tice. as he has done his wife. The few
pleasant hours will at some time be
paid for in bitter tears even though no
one but yourselves know. When will
foolish women learn 1t is woman's lot
to give and forgive, Mans to get and
forget, when she steps aside from the
path OF right and fairness. His curl
osity has been satisfied, and he, no
doubt. has fitted on to another butter
fly who will hutter about until her
wings are singed and scorched, as
yours have been. Forget him; fill your
life with something useful and do your
duty by your husband and your home.
| am glad to know that you recognize
your stupidity as your signature shows.
My Dear Mrs. Anderson:
My husband did not take care OF me
and left me a year and half ago. He
never struck me, only abused me by
calling me bad names. | want TO get
my divorce. How can ] do so?
Ci. b. c.
Unless you have some other grounds
YOU will have to wait until the two
years is up and then you can apply
for ii on the grounds OF desertion.
Dear Madame:
Several years ago | stood in the
presence OF about ten friends OF mine
and promised the man | have lived
with ever since that | would be his
true wife before God and Man and he
promised the same thing to me. We
belonged to 4 society that believed that
that was an honorable marriage and all
OF the members were married that way.

the insurance company refuses to pay
me on the ground that am not his
wife. Was that marriage legal
