marry me twice and she would say,
Il don't know just now, but will tell
times a week and stay until ten
thirty. Is there any harm in hold
ing a girls hand when walking to-
gether if you love her and I sure do
love her dearly. Her father and
mother thinks well of me,
Your best advice will be appre-

GOLDEN fish.
You are too young to- marry.
Wait until you are twenty-one at
least. And you are doing wrong
to give this girl so many pres
ents. She may lead you to think
she cares for you, at the same
time she knows how kind you
are to her, and she may be go
ing with you to get presents.
Don't be foolish-it is all right
to remember her birthday, with
little gift, and on Christmas,
a book, or candy. Unless you are
seriously contemplating matri-
mony, do not give expensive
presents.
I am coming to you for advice.
I am twenty years of age, and in
love with soldier boy whom I dear
ly love.
He was discharged in August but

I am in love with another boy too,
but do not love him as we'll as I do
the soldier. Would it be wise to go
ahead and marry the boy which he
wants me to do, or wait the three
years for the soldier boy?
Do you thing he will prove true
to me?
I'm afraid he will not since he
has re-enlisted. Please advise me.
ANXIOUS Blonde.
I am honest with you when l
say I am sure if you were to
marry the soldier boy. you will
live to regret it. In the first
place the pay they get does not
enable them to support a wife,
and I have known of soldiers
wives taking in washing at the
post where the regiment was sta
toned, working their fingers off,
ekeing out an existence. some
with a large family Of children.
And besides a soldier has many
idle moments. In his unoccu-
pied time he learns to gamble,
and often does things which
causes himself and others, es-
BILE. OF course there are excep-
tions to the rule. but after a man
has enlisted in the army, he some
how loses grip on the things
worth while. I know where of |
speak. And if you have good
judgment do not marry the SOL
dier, but take the man who is
willing to work h"~d for you.
Am coming to you for a little
advice. always read your column
with interest and now, as I have
no one else to advise me, I thought
would come to you.
I am a girl eighteen years of
age. I am very pretty and have
lots of beaus, but, I do not love
but one of them. There is widow
er SIS years of age. He has thirteen
children and six grandchildren. Now
this is what [ want to know: Do
you think I will be happy with
them? They live with him and it
doesn't seem right to ask them to
leave. I could not bear to lose this

BROWN-EYED JOE.
I cannot conceive of a young
and pretty girl, as you say you
are, giving up so many beaus
(and some of them Handsomely
to fall in love with an old
widower, with thirteen children
and six grandchildren. Unless
he has money and perhaps he
might leave you a goodly por-

rarely ever happens, for the
children, as rule, get all the
fortune. My advice to you is,
let this man go and see if you
cannot love a man nearer your
own age, even if he hasn't much
money.
am coming to you for some good
advice. L am fiftene years of age
and am going with a boy sixteen. He
says he loves me better than any
girl he knows. He asked me to mar
ry him, and I told him I would when
I got eighteen. He said he never
would be happy any more without
me. Thanking you for advice.

You are very sensible to wait
until you are older to think
about marrying. And the boy is
entirely too young to think
about being a husband. Besides,
1 doubt it very seriously if any
preacher will marry a couple of
such a tender age. If they do,
they should be put in jail.
