~ should like to marry her some
day, but not now. She says she is
crazy about me, but that it is marry
now or never. I am under Is, make
less than SIS a month and have tried
to explain to her that 1t Is for her
good that I want to postpone our
marriage until get out Of debt and
can make enough to give her at least
the bare necessities of life. But every
time I say anything about this she
goes into q tantrum and says that ]
don't love her. She Is also very jeal-
GUS and makes me miserable and ]
have to be very particular not to
compliment any other girl. What
would you do? Marry her and, if We
can't make a go Of it, quit or be con-
tinually harassed by her persistency?
You see, I can't afford to lose her
by putting her of.
WORRIED DAN.
Answer-Well, Dan, take it from
me you've got your values mixed. The
one thing you can afford to do is to
lose a girl like that and If by put
ting her OF you escape marrying her
it will be because your good angel Is
on his job looking after you.
1t Is common thing to hear peo-
pie say that marriage is a gamble
and that how one turns out is just
a matter Of luck, but this is not true
Marriage Is an investment. What
percentage you get out of it depends
upon whether you have put your all
in gilt-edge domestic bonds or plunged
on Wild Cat common. Take your own
case as an example of this. How can
you expect q marriage to be sue
cess that you are rushed into against
your will. against your better judg-
ment and that you lack the money to
finance?
A ND how can you expect any hap
piness with wife who goes into
tantrums when she can't have her
own way and who is so jealous that
you don't dare even to look at an
other girl? And what have you to
look forward TO but misery in enter
ing into a marriage that you know
is bound to end in divorce, with all
the heartache and strife and anxieties
and scandal that entails and that will
leave you saddled with a debt of ali
mony that you will spend the re-
mainder of your life paying?
Believe me, son, getting out of a
marriage isn't as easy and lightsome
thing as getting into one is. Espe-
cially for a man. AS a friend says:
When a man marries, he ties a knot
with his tongue he can't unite with
his teeth and by the time his lawyers
have severed his bonds for him he is
bankrupt in purse and spirit"
Sometimes a man can offer as an
excuse for making an idiotic mar
riage that the girl deceived him AZ
to her real character. You have not
that alibi because this young woman
has shown you just exactly what she
Is and it doesn't take any Sherlock
Holmes to deduce what sort of a
wife she would make. Consider her
IN THE first place. she shows that
she hasn't a single brain cell under
her finger wave, else she would not
insist upon marrying you when you
are not able to support her. If she had
any sense at all. she would see that
you are doing the only right and
manly thing in wanting to put of
the wedding until you are able to
care for her She would not want to
make herself a burden upon you. The
fact that she goes into tantrums
whenever you try to reason with her
about the matter shows how little in
telligence she has. OF all women in
the world the fool makes the worst
wife.
You would never be able to explain
to wife such as this girl would make
why you had to work overtime or why
you couldn't take her wherever she
wanted to go or why she couldn't
have everything she wanted. And
when you told her you couldn't
give her a new fur coat she would
blubber that you didn't love her any
more and go back home tc
Mother.
The girl has shown you that she Is
greeneyed. Don't forget. son, thai
the man who marries jealous woman
is her slave. He has to walk or
eggs to avoid scenes and cover ur
his tracks, no matter if they lead
to his grandmother's door. with lies
and deceit and that 1t wearing or
any husbands nerves.
So my advice to you is to call thu
bluff of this girl, who is trying tc
shanghai you into marriage, and wher
