o. M: Must I go back to my hus-
band and still go with the man I
am going with now?
Ans: To return to your husband
wouldn't add any happiness to
your life for you well realize that
you do not love him. Although the
man you are going with will not
mean anything to you either -. g.
the right man just hasn't come
along yet. Share your time with
more than one friend.
M. A.: It has been my desire
for a long time to start an employ
ment agency and I wonder if it
would be worth while?
Ans: A very worth while idea
and it could be started on a
small scale and worked up. It's a
mighty good business and it helps
many people and you are well quail
fled to handle a venture of this
kind.
V. B. E.: Why is it the man /
now live with will not consent to
marry me?
Ans: He wants to be foot
loose and fancy free. and mar
riage just doesn't appeal to him.
Why waste any more Of your time
on him for you don't wish to go
through life entirely without hus-
band and you are already getting
along up into years.
A. M. t.: What is the matter
with my husband? Did he quit
me for that woman that saw him
leaving her house?
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1938-09-23

Ans: He wanted another fling
at life and set out to carry out his
threats he isn't living with this
party you have in mind, or anyone
else. He wants a good time for
while and he knows he can't
have it tied down to any one per-
son.
J. L. W.: Please tell me if I
would be successful in business
here if I carried out my plans =?
Ans: Indeed you would. The
arrangements that you have made
are excellent, for you have one of
the best business locations in view
of any in that city. The rest is left
up to you feel sure that you
will make the grade.
M. c.: My brother does not like
to help and I give him home and
try to make it pleasant for him.
When he makes money he leaves
home before I get there and doesn't
give me anything. What should I
do?
Ans: Well you are letting
him "pull your leg" and he is
chiseling you for place to stay.
He's your brother and you love
him, but he certainly doesn't think
any more of you than he does any
one else or he wouldn't insist on
being heel. Use your own judg-
ment about putting him out.
