have never had to work and have
always been given everything wanted.
I have home in the suburbs that Jim
says he would feel like brute to take
me out Of to share two-room apart
ment with him, but ! would rather
start on nothing with him than wait
an endless number of years for better
times. My parents approve Of Jim,
but say when leave their home am
on my own and must look for no help
from them. What advice can you
give us? AUDREY.
Answer-A young couple can live on
$40 week, but it takes lot Of doing,
as the English say, and if they are
to be happy 1t takes strength of
character that few Of the soft boys
and girls of this generation possess.
Our forefathers and mothers tackled

success of 1t. When they married
they expected to settle down and live
plainly and work hard. A two-room
apartment or humble cottage looked
| good to them. The husband wore
! patched shoes and carried his lunch to
work and the wife never dreamed of
pitying herself because she had to do
her own cooking and washing and
baby tending, and love was enough.
