F. A. E.: My dear Friend, have
read so many good words you put
in the paper. Now I would like
you to help me. Ny wife and I
cannot get along. / work at night
and she goes out every night,
drinks, and rides the bus. I got
after her about it and she said she
didn't give a darn how I felt. She
told me to get out and find me some
place to stay, but I haven't left yet.
I am making good money but I
can't save a penny somehow. What
must I do?
Ans: First of all you must dis
cuss your affairs with your wife
and find out just what is the basis
of your trouble. If she objects to
the night job, you could arrange to
find day employment that would
enable you to be with her more. If
she feels that you have been neg
Letting her, you must try to be
more attentive and have your
amusement together. Avoid a
divorce if possible. Later on, if you
still feel that there is no other
course to follow, you will have to
make other plans. The couple who
work out satisfactory budget are
the ones who save consistently and
get ahead in the world.
M. E.: I am Fl years old and
have been married but my husband
and are separated. I met a young
man about a month ago, and he
said if I would get a divorce from
my husband he would pay for it.
He has a kid a year and a half old
and his wife is dead. I also have a
friend in Service who is single and
says he wants to marry me. I am
undecided as to what to do.
Ans: Apply for your divorce if
you are confident that you do not
intend to live with your husband
again. However, you should pay
for it yourself, else you would be
under obligations to marry this
fellow. Marriage is serious step
in itself, but to marry and become
a stepmOther at the same time calls
for even more serious thought and
deliberations. So before you seri-
Ously consider this man as a hus-
band, be sure that you are ready to
assume this responsibility. You
alone must make the choice be-
tween these men, but it would be
advisable for you to wait until you
are definitely sure of what you
want before marrying either.
M. F. H.: I want to ask you
what must do. l am finishing
school this term and 1 am really
undecided about what to do in the
future. Any suggestions you make
would be appreciated.
Ans: A college education is pref
cradle to any other course you
may pursue at this time. If you
are not able to attend college, there
are other courses you could take up
and prepare yourself for some def
mite field, namely, Cadet Nursing,
Business, Beauty Culture and vari-
Gus branches of the Service.

E. L. j.: 1 am living with man
and have been for 6 years. He has
wife and daughter but they were
separated before I met him. She
left town. He promised he would
marry me, but every year he says
he doesn't have enough money to
afford a divorce; he is making good
money now, but still says he can't
afford it. 1t is getting to the place
where he stays out nights and nags
and CANDLES. Should I stay here or
leave?
Ans: This man is growing weary
of his little love nest as is usual
ly the case. You made your mistake
when you did not insist on his
divorce and marriage before you
started living with him. Since he
has no intentions of making your
union more secure, the only thing
l.
