Dear Miss Meredith: AS I have
seen your good advice to other girls
and boys of my age I am coming to
you for some. I am a girl, twenty
years of age. Am engaged to a boy
eighteen years old. Do you think
that he is too young for me? He is
a nice young man and says he loves
me better than any girl he ever went
with, and I know that I love him
better than anyone else. Please
give me your advice on this. Thank
ing you very much for your advice,
POPPY.

your ages wouldn't matter so
much if you were twenty-five
and the boy twenty-three. But

to marry but he isn't. 1t isn't
fair to burden a boy of eighteen
with wife and family.
If you are sincerely and gen.
timely in love, wait until he is
