in love with a girl sixteen. I love
her dearly and she seems to love me.
Do you think she is too young for
me? Please give me your best ad-
vice in the next Journal.
HAPPY JACK.
It depends largely on the amount
Of brains the young girl has. AS a
rule girls at the age of sixteen are
shallow.pated, and silly. They have
no dependable qualities because Of
their extreme youth and love for
frivolous things. Occasionally,
though, one will find girl sixteen
or even younger with level head
common sense and wisdom beyond
her years. This type of girl nine
times out of ten will make fitting
mate for a brainy man. She will
be normal, we'll balanced and good
judge of conditions and will be able
to improve them by her common
sense. If your sweetheart is a girl
Of this type you will be safe in mar

I am boy sixteen, coming to you
for advice. I am in love with a girl
sixteen. I love her very dearly and
she seems to love me, but there is an
other boy going to see her, lie is
about thirty years old. Do you
think she loves me better than she
does this man? Do you thiSE we
are too young to marry? Please
give me your best advise in the next
issue of The Journal.
PRETTY DAVID"
I haven't any "think" coming in
this matter. This girl you are in
love with has ideas far removed
from you. I'm afraid the man CT
thirty is the more fortunate one. If
this girl accepts the attentions Of
grown man and one much learned
in the arts Of wooing, yours is slim
chance indeed. Forget her. You are
too young to marry and so is she.
