An Authority on the Problems Of
Love and Marriage

Love and Marriage
Al letter appeared several weeks
ago In this column, suggesting
that since modern girls, as q rule,
earn good salaries--in many in
atanees better than those of the
young men with whom they go
about would be only fair for
girls 70 pay their own way in the
treats. and good times they have
with young men.
The writer pointed out that this
would do away with the objection
able practice Of paying young men
for treats by means of nechng.
and would also make It possible
for young men TO enjoy the com
radeship Of congenial young women
even though they might have
little money to spend in enter

financial obligations at home.

They had friendly little chat, a

him, however, he was careful to re-

her into his arms and covering her
face with kisses.
He strobe across to her from the
door and took her so without one
word passing between them.

thaniel became aware of it even
while his lips touched hers. He
