To Marry or Not TO Marry

"Cissy is willing to take me-and
so why not marry him?
"As long as our resen delightful
compionship continues, We Won be
very happy together. And afterward,
we would be no more miserable
than any PAR who had married ro-
mantically-and drifted apart in the
common way" So L turned over the
situation a hundred times. So l put
it to Motherdear.
"In any arrangement you and Cis-
sy might make, I'd insist on a long
engagement" she said. You're too
young to marry now!"
but early marriages are the thing
nowadays" said /.
II know they are. And more's the
pity. l see little girls-mothers at
16 and IT years old. pushing their
baby cabs at all hours of the day,
and the night. too, when the infants
should be in their cribs. And L DO
feel so sorry for the babies"
"Why?"
"May, I wish you'd find some other
form of question and stop using tnat
persistent WHY"
"Why?" I repeated.
. eca you've been using the
word ever since you were four years
old!" Moherdear scolded. But 10

An illuminating statement OF
how a married man proceeds when
nc nus himself by playing upon
the emotions Of a girl is detailed be-
low-of our py the girl.
The married man who employs
me has been very kind to me. soon
after going TO work for him, I found
that when closing time came I sim
ply hated to leave the Office.
a we lived near each other. my
employer always took me home in
his car. We became great friends.
He told me all about himself. Il
conhded my troubles to him. l am
II years old.
II happened that his wife AMI
children we're away from home for
weeks. One night he met me down
town. He $40 he vas lonesome and
asked me to take pity on him.
Il have no company like other
girls. Really. / have nothing. And
so l enjoyed spending the evening
with him and l must say he was a
perfect gentleman.
Later / met him many times and
he told me how he loved his family
and how lonesome he was and how
fortunate he was IN having me TO
comfort him and advise him.
soon / discovered that he is
much mor to me than a friend. In
fact, ] am madly in love with him.
But L do not see how he can
care for me except as a pal when
his wife is net around. 1 want TO
make it clear that he never pro-
posed anything to which a lady
could object but naturally our con-
x-or=affnn u-aG 1Ivraxc nrafry nar-
sonal. He certainly knows how to
put a good deal of charm into his
friendship.
His wife has come home. Now
is it wrong for me to continue to go
with him evenings as / have been
doing?
IS 1T WRONG? Is it wrong for
a girl to take the time a man
should give to his wife? Is it wrong
FOR a girl to receive the condolences
which a man should make Il his
wife?
Is stealing wrong?
One wonders what has become of
the old fashioned moral teaching
which formerly was part of a girls
home education. One wonders how
some girls manage TO grow UP es-
Gaping tho home grown variety of
ethics.
This girl excuses to herself the
desire TO meet the man down town
on the ground that she has nc
company like other girls" But
when did the loneliness OF an unat-
tached female become a sane excuse
for Switching a husband from his
wife and a father from his chill
dren?

is a help. The holly is being cut by
