I am = young man IN my early
twenties. I have worked hard for
the last two years and am now
going to get married to very
fine girl Until I met her | made
my home with an aunt who has
always been very good to me.
She Is well-to-do but I never i'm
posed on her. I always paid my
own way. Even after my uncle
died I paid my aunt room and
board when I lived with her. al
though my uncle left her in more
than comfortable circumstances.
and she did not want me to pay
her anything.
But l did and that is why il
made me furious when one of the
fellows who knew her husband
when he was living came to my
aunt and asked If he could room
with US. She said yes and could
feel that no good would come
from this brazen nerve, for knew
him to be q four-flusher of the
worst type.
That was some time ago, and
since then I have seen this fell
low gradually working on my
sunt's vanity and gullibility. He
craftily compliments her and actu-
ally has her blushing like an Is
year old school girl. II 1t weren't

Now, feel that something
should be done to stop her from
marrying this fortune hunter.
Can't relatives do something?
Isn't there any law to declare
person such as my aunt is prov
ing herself to be. irresponsible ?
Surely a fellow like this sneaky
money hunter should be stopped
before he breaks a silly old wom-
ans heart as well as her bank
account.
When I talk to her about 1t
she grows indignant and says I
have no right to interfere with
her happiness, that am planning
q happy future for myself, yet
want to block any chance she has
for happiness. DISTURBED.
