have social gatherings. This is hard
on me, as [ am of a sunny, pleasure
loving disposition, and am thrown
constantly with the young people of
the church
Please advise me if you think
it would be best for us to go on. or
to break the engagement, as we
don't seem to be any closer together
in our views than we were a year
ago. LILLIAN.
Answer:
My dear Lillian. what possible
chance of happiness do you think
you will have if you marry a man
who has a mean. pessimistic, jeal-
Gus disposition? He is giving you
taste of his quality now and if you
are not warned, and do not retreat
before it is too late, you will deserve
the misery that will inevitably be
your portion.
He will make of marriage a jail in
which you will be a prisoner. He
will keep you walking on eggs to try
to keep from offending him. He
will insult you with accusations of
wrong doing of which you are per-
fectly innocent, and he will mortify
you to death by making scenes.
He will never let you have any
friends. He will never take you to
any places of amusement, or try to
bring any pleasure or happiness into
your life, and yours will be dull,
drab. monotOnous existence. work
ing for husband who regards you
as nothing but a domestic slave,
made for his comfort and conVen-
fence.
Don't marry a morose man. Don't
marry a Quarrelsome man. Don't
marry jealous man. Don't marry
a man who doesn't like people, and
who isn't liked by others. Don't
marry a man who doesn't trust you,
and who has so little faith in you
that he thinks that every time you
speak to another man you are plot
ting to 90 something wrong.
Above all. don't marry d man who
doesn't look at life from the same
standpoint that you do, and who
doesn't enjoy doing the things you
do. The only happy marriages are
the congenial ones You will get
mighty tired of a lifetime fighting
with a man every time you want to
go to the movies or ask a friend to
dinner.

Answer: This is a new and inter
esting angle. of the in-laW problem,
though, as a matter of fact, mothers
