happiness and wealth. My educa-
ton is not sufficient to enable me
to earn enough money to have
home and wife. 1 never would be
happy unless 1 could give a wife
enough to make her proud of me.
never will be happy unless I
have enough money to look at the
world as 1 did few years back.
1 realize what slim chance I
have of getting anywhere in the
business world; so I've worked out
an entirely different plan. Two
years ago saw that my only
chance was to marry a wealthy
woman, to whom I would remain
loyal and 5rue. I have had three
lady friends from 80 to 35 years
old and find I like them better
than girls my own age. 1 am GER
tain 1 could make a good husband
for a woman older than myself.
My other idea is to become a
son of some wealthy old people
who would love and understand a
young man. 1 would try to the
best of my ability to make them
proud of me. Please do not think
1 am not man enough to stand on
my own two feet and face the
world. 1t would have been i'm
possible for me to have passed
through the hardships that I did
and still stand upright if I were
not somewhat of man.
am hoping you can lead me
toward happiness either by some
hint as to where I may find nv
wealthy wife, or else some one who
would appreciate a son.
Answer-You are on the WRONG
track. Your whole program is one
OF avoidance instead of accomplish.
ment. Your attitude toward life is
childish, in that you still seek a de.
pendent relationship in preference
to making your own fight.
The fault lies in those first flfteer
years, which obviously gave you nc
preparation for the next five. Now
reality has imposed a series of new
adaptations which your personality
is unwilling to make. You seek fol
a longer period of embodiment ir
parental arms.
Your wish for marriage to 6
woman who will support you in the
manner to which you are &C.
cuStomed is only another effort tt
extend the protected period of child
hood over into adult life. What vol
want is an all-giving mother, not 6
wife. That is why you feel safer
with older women than with girls
your own age. You do not feel ready
to stand alone in the world. Yor
have not yet finished the early
stages of childhood.
Unfortunately for you. you grew
up in an exceedingly difficult perioc
of the worlds history. Opportuni-
ties for making money have beer
scarce. You're up against a stu
alton that many an older and more
experienced man has been unable
to lick. Secretly you consider your

faith in your ability to cope with
world which seems so unfriendly
and unfair.
You are wrong about yourself
You're only 20 years old and you
haven't given your own powers q
fair trial. Your longing for some
special support is a very human
falling. shared at times by almost
every one. For your own sake
hope you do not find such support
for it only would retard your de-
velopment.
Take heart. Don't surrender your
proud maSculinity too soon. Re-
member that the test of courage lies
in the ability to hold on one mo-
ment longer. Many OF our national
figures have had no more educa-
ton or opportunities than you have
mad. What they did have was grit
and gallantry. You can do what
they have done. Don't quit on the
verge of national recovery! Work
