S& ABE WALLACE

L. S.: Will I ever be popular ?
seem to be one of those guys who
stand on the sideline and the other
boys have the fun.
Ans: The girls don't ask you
for dates -. you must get up the
courage to ask them. Learn to
dance and stop going to dances
just to watch. Ask the girls to a
show occasionally you are nice
looking and could have lots of fun
but you must make an effort to do
it.
C. L. j.: I have been planning
to make a trip but I feel that ]
might not enjoy it. Must I go?
Ans: There isn't a thing to
lose and you will have a won
derful time on this trip. Yes, by
all means go ahead and do not
worry so much.
L. j.: Will my husband continue
to work at the airport? Tell me
if I am P :. or not?
Ans: There won't be a change
of jobs any time soon for your
husband for his job appears to be
permanent. Go to your doctor for
an examination, and he can tell if
you are on the expected list.
E. S. M: Why did my neigh
Dor act to me as she did? Now l
have been worried about this for
a few weeks.
Ans: My friend, you are wOr-
rying entirely too much and
about nothing at all. Your neigh
Dor felt that you were trying to
pry into her business when the two
men from out of town visited her
recently they meant you no
harm at all and I suggest that you
be friendly with her instead of
feeling that they were "up to
something"
M. E. A.: My husband and I
have been divorced for a short
time. We have two children.
Through the help of a local attor-
ney I got maintenance for the chill
dren. Since that time he wants to
come back. Is it that he loves me
and the children or is it for con-
venience

what you would be better off if you

but if he doesn't want to live true
do not take him back. If he
wants to take you back as his wife
and helpmate it would be your
duty to give him another chance
but you must REMARRY, else the
association would not be legal.
L. B. A.: Will this,girl I have
in mind ever change her mind and
marry me? How must I do in Or
der to get her?
Ans: Visit the girl and tell her
your "lOve stories" in person ..
she doesn't put very much faith in
your "lOve notes." Buy her mex
pensive gifts every month or so
and take her out to the shows and
other places of entertainment. She
likes a good time show her
some fun.
T. E. L.: do love my husband
but he stays out all night some
times. He just gives me enough
money for groceries and house rent
and says his car fixing takes the
rest. Does he love me and what
must I do?
Ans: Put stop to his running
around before he finds someone
else he loves better than you, or
someone he would become infatu-
ated with dress and go when
he goes out. If he won't give you
the money for new clothes
work and make it. If you intend
to keep your husband you are go
ing to have to live the same
speed" that he does.
D. L. j.: Should I continue to
look forward to the job out of the
state or make arrangements to
take the job here?
Ans: Take the job offered you
there in the city. You wouldn't be
as satisfied in small town as you
are right now. The job sounds
very appealing right now, but your
chances for advancement would be
greater right where you are.
