My Dear Miss White: I am won
dering II through your column
could get in contact with someone
who would be willing to adopt
baby at birth The child will be
born in spring and for reasons
which | do not care to make known
TO the public at large. 1t must be
adopted at birth. | shall be glad
to go into detail with anyone in
terested. H.,
A DERELICT.
! am printing your lette. in the
hope that some one of our readers.
may be interested in doing lust
what you suggest. and | shall be
glad TO put any such person in
touch with you. -.
Sally Nc: 1t is true that. people
did marry young In other days.
but there were not so many ways
to become acquainted nor so much
temptation nor opportunity for
changing ones mind once IL was
made up. There was then little for
girl to do but marry. She usually
had large family and many
time died young. Girls were popu-
lar then the same as now and often
p girl had several beaus instead of
only one whom she always mar
ried.
Times have changed in many
ways, and the girl who today mar
ries too young often wakes up in
a few years to the fact that her
tastes have become so different that
she is not interested in the same
kind of man she was at the time
Of her marriage. At least this is
the experience over and over again
of girls from whom l receive let
tiers. They say they married too
young-at 16, II or 10.
AS for what you tell me you are
ashamed of, you should be-so l
am very glad that you are. You
have indeed made big mistake in
letting him know you are crazy"
about him, for that almost in
variably makes boy lose interest
in a girl. 1t is human nature to
wait most something just out of
reach. II you hope to retain his
friendship you will have to adopt a
different course and keep him
guessing. II may be too late now
but II 1t Is. remember this in your
next experience.
II you and this boy still care for
each other IN d few more years,
that will be time enough to think
about marrying. Until then don't
try to settle the question. BY ,thep
you mhFeafat4Ksreat deal mork for
somebody else,
Dear Miss White: I nave read
your column for some time and
would like to ask you a question.
l am IS, not in the best of health
and do homework for a living. My
wages are not big, but make
enough to pay my bills. although
not enough to help support my
sisters who are. in school, My older
sister works but not steadily.
am keeping company with a
young man whom | love. hut he is
so unfaithful-you can never de-
pend on him to keep date that he
has made. | went with him about
year. not steadily though. and he
was always breaking dates the last
minute. One night he called up,
as was his way of doing, to break
the date for the following night.
I was disguised and told him not
to. trouble himself as had a chance
to- go to a certain place had been
wanting to go to for long time.
| went, but he got mad at me for
breaking that date, not figuring alt
he broke. when l didn't even get
sore. | didn't see him or hear from
him again for some time until few
days before Christmas. He sent me
letter, telling me that he was
going away and he wanted me to
know that he still loved me and
wanted me to write him while he Is
away, which will be from four to
