DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

I have been keeping company
with a young man for two years
with the understanding that
will be married shortly. Now
this young man has asked his
mother for her consent and she
strongly objects. Her reason is
that he Is the main support Of
the family, but he has a sister
working also.
Now, I am willing to work
after / am married and live with
his mother to keep up the little
home, but she strongly objects
to this also. - -:
Kindly advise me as to what
shall do, as we love each other
dearly and find It very, hard TO
Part. A BROKEN HEART.
THE mans mother is being most
Il unfair. You have made an
honest offer to DO your share to-
ward making marriage practical
and no cause Of hardship OIL. suf-
fering to her. When you offer to

sane thing--but unless sthe mother
sees things more generously and
tolerantly, you'll have a hard time
uniting the families under one roof.
But II would be a grent injustice
for you two TO give each other up
