Dear Miss Lee: 7 am constant reader
OF your advice to persons in trouble.
last November. I met very sweet girl.
and we, started going together. She told
me that she had been married and had
two children but was getting her divorce,
so we went together until March 3 this
year. I bought her an engagement ring
Christmas eve, and We were supposed to
nave been married as soon as she got her
divorce. told her all my lifes history
and she, said that did not matter, that
have a home of four rooms, completely
furnished and offered to get her anything
she wanted. She, seemed wild about me
until the last week I went with her. Then
she, would write, me that she was through
with, me and then I would go down to
my presence she can not say mo" and
When | am not with her she says she is
Last Saturday evening instead of meet
ing. me at friends house as she had
told me she would. she left letter tell
that 1 was too old and had been married
100 many times. / answered her letter
asking her if she ever saw her mistake to
call me or write me but she did not answer
my letter. She is past 81.
VIII you please advise me?
HOME LOVER.
Dear Home Lover: This girl has
proven to you that she did not care
anything for you by her changing
her mind so often. she had doubts
as to whether you would make a
good husband for her when you
were not with her. When you we're
with her, these doubts were dis
PEELED by your interesting personal
ity, perhaps.
Take your dismissal and forget
this girl. admit there is some ex-
cuSe for the girls indecision. A
man who has been married three
times by the time he is 80 naturally
seems a bad matrimonial risk. AS
long as she felt that way, you never
would have been happy together
and I am sure you want to make
your next marriage your last one.
Dear Miss Lee: I want your advice I
have daughter. "a. who is married to
thing but run around with his his brother
and drink. My daughter has been mar
ried five years, and he has not done any
with his mother and she stays with me.
He comes to see her as a sweetheart
would two times week for awhile. Then
he gets angry and stays away for awhile.
He just causes trouble. She works and
pays her board, and buys her clothes. If
she she IS n SICK and asks him him for money, he
much longer. I am SO. What do you ad-
wise me to do? AN OLD MOTHER
Dear Old Mother: Of course, &
mother has the interest of her chill
dren at heart. However you are as
Stunning your daughters problem.
Let her decide this herself. A wo-
man of 81 is no child, you know.
She has a mind capable of looking
after her own affairs and I am sure
she would resent any interference
from you.
Since she pays for her board and
clothes, you have no objections from
the financial standpoint. My opin-
ion of your daughter is that she is
very foolish woman to Put up with
this worthless husband. Most wo-
men would not tolerate such treat
ment Still if she is happy you had
better keep your opinion to your
self because you only cause her
trouble for which she will never for
give you.
Another thing, are you sure you
gave the true facts about the case?
You know that many times women
as they grow older will permit
themselves to become narrow in
their judgment of persons. AS
the youngsters say, they become
'crabby. Surely you would hate to
be labelled as such so try and keep
away from saying unkind things.
Mrs. Irma w. A.: Your husband
is so impossible that the only thing
for you to do is to leave him. How
did you ever let him start treating
you the way he does now? Surely
he was kind to you before you mar
ried him or else you would never
have consented to be his wife.
Husbands have to be trained, my
dear, and you certainly did not use
the right method, 1 am afraid
Since there seems nothing you can
do about it now, I really think you
would be happier away from him.
