He Knows Her Past

Dear Martha Lee: I am 20 years old
and am going with man 40. Now | have
had q past and this man knows it. but
will forgive me and wants to marry me.
Now. I don't love him, but I like him as
q friend, and / hate to hurt his feelings
by telling him mo"
Some of my friends think 1 am running
myself by marrying him, but realize that
not many men would want to marry me
after they would know my past. What
do you think? Z.
I cannot see that you have good
reason for marrying a man you do
not love. Your sole reason seems to
be that no other man might come
along who would want to marry.
You are young. Why not make
your life over so that those meeting
YOU in future could have no criti-
cism? l am inclined to think that
this man, knowing this against you,
might find it difficult to extend you
the trusting love that makes mar
riage worth while.

Theater Taste Changing.

THE one thing Of all others which
theatrical and film producers

embodied in the phrase worn thread

There is reason to believe that

stage and Aim entertainment are not
always guided by clear and unmis.
taxable evidence furnished by the
public itself. Within the mind the.
atric, as expressed both on the stage
and on the screen. there seems to be
an ineradicable idea that woman, er.
ring woman, is the indispensable ele-
ment in all drama. And there has
been some support given to this the.

greeted plays embodying that idea.
The viler they were, it is pointed
