Answer:
There really ought to be a nice
! padded cell where a girl who is CON
| templatins doing such an insane
! thing as you are could be locked
| up until she had time to think it
all over and recover her sanity. Any
| che who has so completely taken
| leave of her senses is menace to
society and danger to herself,
and she should be fOrcibly restrained
| from committing moral suicide.
I suppose there is no use in preach
| ing to girl who is having love
affair with a married man, for the
woman who can calmly contemplate
breaking up home, rObbing a wife
| of her husband and orphaning lit
| tie children has drugged her con-
science beyond the power of any
words to awaken it. She is an ut
| ter egotist, determined to take what
she wants at any cost to others, and
so L appeal only to her selfishness.

| your own standpoint and ask your
self what you are to gain beyond the
| qualification Of the passion of day,
| or week, or month by following your
wicked love.

In this city to which he proposes
to take YOU you will become one of
! those women who live under false

tionable streets. YOU will become sis

if it is mistake TO rus not to have a
family. We do not miss children
now. but how will we feel about i,
20 years from now? DO you think
that children add to ones happiness
in later years?
THE BEST EVER.
Answer:
To give life is as great a response
bility as to take life. Greater,
often think, because the agony OF
death is just for a moment, where
as the suffering of life may last
through many years. l do not be-
lieVe that any one has a right to
bring a child into the world who
cannot give it a good heritage OF
clean, healthy blood and assure it OF
adequate care in its childhood. But
certainly it is right and proper that
healthy, normal people, able to care
for their children, should pass on
the torch of life.
As to children adding to peoples
happiness and being a blessing to
them in their old age. there is no
doubt about that, provided the par
ents rear them properly. For wheth-
er children are crown of glory or
art-breaking sorrow depends al
together and entirely upon the way
they are brought up.
You will find, lest Ever. as you and
YOUR husband grow older, that your
interest in many things will begin TO
pail and that you will see life through
rather bored eyes unless you look at
it through the eyes of your chill
Gren.
In your boys and girls you are re-
born. Paby hands are the magic
touch that makes even nursery
games exciting once more. Your own
sCEcolboys and girls make college
debates more important to you than
| sessions of congress, and when your
girls begin having beauX and your
| boys are on the football team you
taste again the freshness of romance
and adventure. Life is just one eX-
citing thing after another to peo-
pie who have children and grand
children.
And when you grow very old and
one or the other OF you dies, lonely
indeed will be the other who has no
| daughter to comfort him or her, no
strong son to lean upon.
! Children are a lot of trouble, they
are a loc of anxiety and expense, but
! they ara the best investment that
| any couple can make.
DEAR MISS DIX am 81 years
} of age and three times a widow. !

I am in love with a young man
/ &c years old who suffers from neuras-
| thenia. He loves me and wants
to marry me, but his relatives are
strongly opposed to our marriage.
! What do you advise me to do?
A. B. c.
Answer:
Well, a. B. c.. you certainly are
| a SlUttOn for trouble. | should think
that any woman who had beel mar
ried three times and had a son m
! the reform school would have had
sorrow and worry enough, ana would
be glad to live peacefully and quiet

But you are evidently out on a

really bad weather will come about

as we have enjoyed the sunshine.
If that should prove true it will sure
ly be a late spring, for we have not
had a really rainy season since the
first week in August The twelfth
of November we had a good shower,
and the night Of December 5 we had
doWnpour all night long. The next
morning the farmer on this place
opened the spout to the cistern, but
not a. drop of water has fallen since.
AS a rule, we let the first rains wash
the roof, then the November, Deem
Der and January rains fill it. Never
later than March has it been left
open. In that way we have splendid
water all the year. 1t is a large els
