through life has ever done. So,
knuckle down and try to be loving
granddaughter, overlooking the
faults of these people, whose youth
is gone. Don't you pity this old man
and woman for whom the future
holds nothing-nO adventures, no
thrills? Just think, Peggy G., how
lucky you arei All your life is be-
fore you-for you to make of it what
you will! Are you going to let
these two people, jealous of your
youth, make of you a critical, resent
full old maid, old for your years? Or
how about this for plan?-Let
the example of the two whose life
has made them what they are, fire
your ambition to do better things.
Make your plans now for the future
day when you will say goodbye
firmly but pleasantly to these two
old ones,' and go forth into the
world. Make the most of your OPP
portunities, study hard so that your
mentality will develop along with
your character. Finish school, find
out what work you would like and
are best suited for and if possible
take a business course at school, for
this would do you no harm whatever
your line of work in the future. Try
to make a little money some way in
your spare time so that your pockets
will not be empty when the time
comes for you to leave. And, above
all, be patient and forebearing with
these two old people. Whether you
are to be in an office, sick-roOm,
store. library or schoolroOm, a gen.
| tie. patient manner, a ready smile
and a sweet disposition, will be the
best assets you can have, together
with an ambition to get ahead. You
will find preparing and developing
yourself for the future a very alb
Esorbing task-a great incentive that
will fill your life and make it so
pleasant that the nagging and COM
planning of two unreasonable old
folks will fall upon deaf ears.

DEAR MONA DEWES-I am a
young married girl of 19 and very
unhappy at times especially when
am around my parents. They dislike
my husband because he can't get
settled down and get to work at
something. We have all we 'can do
to live. We have been married al
most three years and he hasn't ac-
complished thing only further in
debt. 1 try to help him all can
but 1 am tired of this life. When
my people talk against him what am
1 to do? 1 am very attractive and
am liked by everybody, especially
the young boys and girls.
WAITING JUST BROWN EYES
ANSWER-As long as you drift
along this way you are encouraging
your husband in his laziness. You
have been waiting" quite long
enough, Brown Eyes. 1t is time now
for you to do something drastic.
Give your husband the big push he
needs to make him go to work. Tell
him you are through with him un-
til he gets a steady position paying
enough to support you both, give
him a push, and close the door of
your home against him. This will
prove what stuff he is made of. II
he has any red blood in his veins,
he will go out and make living for
you both and come back to you with
renewed respect for you and for
himself as well. But if after he
leaves he continues to frivol along
at one small job after another, until
your love vanishes along with your
respect for him, you will at least
have found out that he will never
be any good, before there are chill
dren to complicate matters.
Since the attitude of your parents
disturbs and influences you, making
you unhappy, refuse to discuss your
husband with them.
Try to find some work to do that
will make you self-supporting-
there are always positions of some
kind open to ambitious girls - but
never contribute one cent toward
the support of a lazy, shiftless, con-
temptible, able-bodied man who
should be making a living for you.
