Dear Miss Brooks:
This dreadful affair is telling on
my health and feel I MUST dc
something 10 apert the situdtion-piedse
help me. Miss BROOKS.
George is 80 pery attentive and
thoughtful. and il is this quality | like
30 much. But gradually he has be-
come 10 regard me more intimately un-
III he asked me 10 many him.
He is forty years old phile / am only
Il. ba m spite Of this he is very ro-
mantle. Non. he MIL not take mo
for an snswer-and oh. hon | hate 10
disdppoint him. He has said over and
again that l am the most glorious thing
thot had ever entered his life, that he
pould never care TO 60 on alone NTH
out me and pould have nothing more
TO I've fer. hare seen despair mani
fest Itself IN boys before. pet khey
mere younger and / kncp they mould
got ever il nicely. Somehop the thought
occurs to me so many times, that
George might commit suicide. Rather
Dould l do anything than TO have
caused such tragic. despicable, sure
ly dreadful thing. Yet, l cannot feel
l should marry him, as the disdppont-
nasnt peuld be greater then, phen he
learned did not love hin,-then
comes the fear that probably | could
NOT Keep such pop lifetime; when 1
became bored. a half hour seems
dreadful age-what Of a LIFE
TTME2 Yet. DO like his loving me.
Probably. | should have married
him. had il not been for my family,
who highly lisapprope of him-and,
nell. 1 guess their argument IS only
reasonable. /. G., he cannot, at this
Time. support Dife in any Kind Of
moderate comfort.
4 nil Try TO put this from my con-
science until pour ansper appears. Oh,
please. map hear from you as soon
as pssiblc2
Yours lisconsoldtely,
AMBER, Dubois, Idaho.
You poor dear disconsolate. cheer
up. | can't believe it can be half as
bad as you seem to think. In the first
place you infer that you do not love
George. If 50 you should by all
means tell him about it.
In the consideration of marriage,
disparity of age should not be of near
ly so great Importance as that OF
you have a similar viewpoint
on the essential things of your every
day life. Age is largely matter of
thought. Many people are younger at
forty than others are at twenty-one.
Beware of the man who says he
cannot live without you. That is sell
fishness. In most instances they manage
o get along quite nicely. and wonder
after al if it is worth the trouble to
ny to prevent them from committing
UGH a tragic, despicable. dreadful
hing. How do you feel about it by
his tuae. 1t isn't bad idea to con-
ider your family's viewpoint. They
re- quite trustworthy as rule and are
linking only Of your interests. Here
wishing you the best of luck and may
appiness attend you whatever the out
ONE. Please do not let it hang on
nd permanently mjure your health.
You'd ike very much for you to
rite ne as 10 Just how you decide this
uestion.
