% J. Mrs.. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
nurse. During the latter part of
1.-THE war I served in France, but
since my return | have practiced in
, this country. 1t was one of my re-
solves when taking up nursing not
to take advantage of my patients
and try to make them fall in love
with me. In spite of the fact that
l tried to carry my resolve into
effect many of my patients have
loved me and proposed, but l have
always told them to wait a year
and propose again. No one has
seemed to want me at the end of
the year.
For the last month 1 have been
nursing young man from another
state. He came here to visit his
aunt and uncle and met with a
slight accident, cutting his hand
with piece of brass. Poisoning
set in and he has been very i'll and
even on the point of death.
AS usual, he. thinks he has fallen
in love with me. but. the unusual
has also happened, and l know I
have fallen in love with him. 1t
does not seem fair for me to accept
his proposal, and yet if l do not
am afraid he will go out of my life
as the others have and this time l
couldn't bear it.
In two weeks he will return home
and he has asked me to go with
him as his wife l want to go with
all my heart, but l do not want to
go unless he really loves me, be-
cause l so want my marriage to be
successful.
What would you advise? Would
it be taking unfair advantage 10
marry him? Would run the risk
Of losing his love and being I'M
happy all my married life?
DOUBTFUL.
Marriage is a great adventure
and the result is always uncertain
regardless of the precautions taken.
L would advise you to marry the
man because you love him II you
are tactful. sympathetic and
thoughtful after marriage there is
no reason why your married life
will not be happy. Do not feel that
the mans love for you was forced
by circumstances; instead believe
that at last a divine love has come
into your life which you can make
deeper and brighter by your efforts
through life.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
girl is and engaged to a man %
My parents object to my going with
this young man. My sister tells
them lies about him and my folks
believe her. My finace doesn't
come as often as my sisters friend
and then they say he goes to see
other girls, which he does not.
My parents say 1 have to give
him up, which 1 would rather die
than do. Do you think ! would be
doing wrong to marry this man
against their wishes? They want
me to go with another fellow they
think so much Of He is a very
nice man and l went with him six
months before met this other
man. Do you think 1 would be
treating my fiance right to go with
this fellow just to please my par
ents? I know 1 can't learn to care
for another man as do for this
one.
Please advise me what to do,

EAST MOLINE; DUE
TO POOR INTEREST

The annual farmers institute, to
have been held today in East Mo-

various committees were appoint
ed to arrange for speakers. enter

none of the committees has been

institute affairs stated today that
an effort would be made to revive
interest and plan the affair for a
later date.

While our novelists of the day

contains all the ingredients of

meeting. a proposal, an engagement,
marriage, and a honeymoon, all
starting from nothing more vital
than a woman's tear.
