That is the story Of a parent
who does not understand.
There may be five girls in the
family who like to be gone from
home every night and who must be
on the go to be happy, and a sister
to them may be one who much pre-
ferS a quiet life.
The sensible way to handle the
Stay-at-home girl is to let her stay
at home and be interested in
domestic things or be happy with
her few friends.
This letter comes from Alice:

that's just fine. Do you think 1t is best?

perfectly happy. What would you do9
Well, Alice, would try to be a
little broader than one dear girl
friend and have many friends my
own age of the kind that please
you, but do not think it is at all
necessary for you to step out" or
lead a high life" You are young,
Of course, to be settled down, but If
that is the way you like best, that's
very much better than a pleasure
made life.
Because you are quiet and do not
like to be on the go all the time
should not keep you from being
broad-minded about friends who like
the same things you do.
Il you could give me some advice because
I have problem I cannot solve. am 10
asked me- T to marry rT0 him me S Sae he eS is
younE,ge. to marry? we lqye each other very
would run off and do something awful.
What Is your advice? DORA r.
You are young to talk of mar
rage, yes, Dora, but if the man you
, expect to marry has good position
and is the type who will advance,
you can consider marrying him,
although not until you are both
older. The question of religion
should be settled before you are
married. Do you understand the
requirements of a person marrying
q Catholic? If you are willing to
abide by those rules when you are
older and still want TO marry the
man, then it is perfectly all right
The fact that your friend has
threatened to run of proves that he
is yet too youthful in his ideas to
be ready to marry. If he were old
enough to think Of marriage he
would make himself just that much
more desirable if you turned him
down for the time being and would
want to be more worthy of you.
Don't be afraid of him going to the
dogs. If he did, because you aren't
ready to marry him yet, then ne
isn't the kind of a man you want to
marry.
Dear Martha Lee. / am going with a
very nice fellow. He works in q garage
and makes good salary: love him and
high school. We have been going to-
gether for quite while and he will not
quarrel He has asked that we marry
DO you think he would be the right kind
OF husband? BILLY.
BY all means wait until you get
Cit Of high school to get married.
Even then you will be too young to
know whether you love this man
or not. If he has a good job and
makes good money you should be
thankful. And if he has q dispo-
sition that is agreeable to you, you
are that much more fortunate. The
right kind Of husband depends on
a good many things. Be sure Of
him before you accept him.
