M. j. D.: It seems that father is
doing things for spite and will you
tell us what he is driving at?
Ans: Some new interest has en-
tered the life of your father else he
wouldn't stay out nights until 2 and
8 in the morning. You must talk
things over with him and make him
realize that he will have to con-
tribute to the support of his chill
dren and if you handle him tact
fully, he will do 50. His sudden
change of ways is only temporary.

along with him and l want to know

Ans: Stick to your husband and
try to make him happy is what you
should do. He loves you and does
try to make you happy -. you are
fault finding and don't seem to APP
preciate him. It is indicated to me
that you are upset over his mother
visiting IN the home =. / urge you
not to allow this to affect your love
for him.
L. R. c.: My mother fuses at
me all the time about nothing and
I want to know how to stop her?

tive she doesn't mean to worry

you with her frank speech. Make
a joke out of her fussing spells and
laugh at her i. she will soon stop.
You seem to be lonely and dissatis-
fed in the home. A marriage is in
dicated in your life within the next
year.
c. L W.: My girl and ! are plan
ming on getting married. She is the
only girl that / ever loved and I
have written her several times re-
Gently and she hasn't answered.
Does she intend to keep her prom
Use?
Ans: Yes, provided you visit her
more often and arrange the we'd
ding date by the end of this year.
Being so far apart has its draw
backs :. she naturally is going to
see other boys occasionally but
right now you are the only one she
loves.
N. L. b.: Please answer in the
paper if l will attend the party
that I have been invited to?
Ans: You're a bit young to be-
gin attending parties talk it
over with your mother and in all
probability she will give in this one
time.
H. ]. F.: My husband and / own
our home and his mother and
grandmother live with us. His
mother thinks she is the owner of
the place. Will we ever get to live
in our place alone and be happy?
Ans: Not anytime in the near
future. 1t so happens that your
mOther-in-law and grandmother
were living with your husband when
you married him and they aren't
going to get away. Let your
mOther-in-law take the response
bility of the home over it
should be a burden off your mind
and you get some easy job. You all
would live more happily and you
could save more money too.
E. M. B.: Would I be successful
if l made change to San Fran
cisco, California?
Ans: l don't advise your going so
far away from home while so
young. Get out and look for work
closer to your home and when you
become of age -. then go west.
Regarding your other problem :.
write for a private reply and 1
will go into the matter in detail.
C. F.: Would it be wise for me
to go to the man I love or should
! remain with my husband?
Ans: Stick to your husband
he's the man you love. This other
fellow may have you infatuated
but if you lived with him a month,
you would be so Disguised with
yourself that you would want to
crawl in hole. Don't fiirt and en-
courage friendships with other fell
lows and you won't get in trouble.
R. A. D.: / am grass widow and
l don't seem to make any progress
at all here where I am and I won
der what should do for success?
Ans: Get out of town. You are
making no progress where you are
and you have everything to gain
by making change. 1t seems to
me- that you should go farther
South and get employment. An
other marriage will bring about
decided change in your life also.

While in California, Mrs. Mar

Mrs. Martin, whose maiden
name was May Stevens, was born
in Evansville, Wisconsin Novem-

taught school for a number of
years, first at Evansville and lat
err. at Redwood Falls where she
was principal of the high school
for three years. Here she met
Mr.. Martin, who was employed at
Hitchcock's drug store and later
was in business for himself. They
were married October 4, 1898, at
Evansville, Wisconsin and return
ed to Redwood Falls to make
their home. The Martins moved

husband, her daughter, two
grandchildren and two sisters,
Ann Stevens of Pasadena and
Mrs. Bessie Walker of Riverside,
California.

For Her 4 Children

Alba, Calif-(P-If there were
a Parent Teacher association in
this mountain colony, Mrs. Gladys
Peterson would be it.
She is principal and teacher at
the picturesque little school and
also the mothers of its only four
pupils.
She's teacher to David, John,
Dolly and Sammy, but in her role
of mother she also has Jimmy and
Tippy, too young for classes.
The highest number of pupils
she has had is nine, but she had
to see them through eight grades
and it was quite a job.
The schoolhouse, built in the
style of the nineties, painted red
and featuring a belfry, serves also
as a dance hall and branch Ii
brary.
