In pursuit Of happiness they have
failed to find or to keep in married
life. wives daily bring me their
troubles.
Many of them, I find. are young
wives-girls who married when they
were sixteen or seventeen.
Il thought I loved him." is their
plea
That is Just the trouble. A girl Of
II may think she loves q man. But
she is in the formative stage OF her
life. Her tastes will change greatly
before she is 20.
That is why marriages Of very young
people 50 often end unhappiIy.
Dear Martha Lee: I am a married woman
10 years olds. have been married two
years and have very sweet baby girl.
My husband is such jealous man that
lie gets angry and wants to whip her. She
Is only months old. What would YOU do {:
Sometimes l think the world Of my hus-
Dand. al other times, | don't care for him.
he Is nine years older than 1.
There is another man 1 love very much.
but l know 1t Is almost impossible ever TO
win him. How can 1 ever be happy and
live with Jealous husband7
don't think he Is true TO me. I cannot
trust him out OF my sight. Please tell me
something TO do-PRETTY BROWN EYES.
Answer-Apparently your husband
has good reason to be jealous, as you
speak Of loving and trying to win an
other man. And you dare say you
cannot trust your husband! Can he
trust you? Are you true to him? Low
ing another man is q queer way to
prove it.
Instead of thinking Of how you can
win another mans love. you should
be busy making your own home so
pleasant that you never would have
TO worry about not trusting your hus-
band. You should do that for your
baby's sake, If not for your own.
Be pleasant and cheerful when he
comes home. Have good, well-cooked
meals. Forget about this other man.
The jealousy regarding the baby is
more difficult TO understand. | think
the best thing to do is to have frank
talk with your husband. Simply tell
him that you do love the child. even
If he does not apparently this is true),
and that you cannot understand why
he should be jealous of his own child.
Answer to MRS. It. RUSH, do not
know what you mean by asking
whether it Is worth while to wait for
this man. I do not see that you can
do anything else. now. I cannot tell
whether or not he loves you. How
ever, I don't believe he has given you
any very good reason to suppose that
he does. Apparently he does like you.
The best thing for you to do is to ''sit
tight" and wait to see what happens.
Answer to HAPPY: It would be a
thoughtful courtesy for you to send
Christmas gifts to your flances' fam
lily.
You should send either a card or a
small gift to your future brother-in-
law and his wife. The gift should be
something for their house, unless
better. A book would be good; If
they have a victrola, you might send
them some records.
For the little niece. should sug-
gest mittens; a sweater, that you
might knit; a water-cOlor painting
outfit; clothes for her favorite doll, or
a picture book.
Answer to D. A. N: You are right,
D. A. n. 1t IS better for you, boy
Of 10. to go with several girls whom
you like, rather than to limit your
self to one.
Answer to ROBERTA: Your
"bread-and-butter" letter to your
hostess should be sent as soon as pos
sible after your return home. 1t Is
best to write 1T the day you get
back, rather than take chance of
postponlng it from day to day.
1t is not necessary to send your
hostess a gift. but it is thoughtful.
Among articles that make appre-
ciated gifts are handkerchiefs, per-
fume bottles, candy in painted boxes
that can be used again, vanities.
