riage. He writes as that is his
meaning. Does he mean to marry
me or should 1 go ahead and find
someone else? l was always chaste
with him.
Ans: The war has temporarily
halted any plans that he might
have had. For that reason be pa
tient awhile longer. Had he not
cared for you, he would not have
bothered to write you and send
gifts all these years. However, it
is not fair to you to wait unless
he makes his plans a little more
definite. Since he insinuates mar
riage in his letters, why not call
his hand in a very tactful manner?
]. P: l have a very serious prob
lem that l would like for you to
solve for me. Pm in love with a
boy whom my father does not ap-
prove because he won't work. He
just lays around juke joints, gam
bling houses and other places. He
tells me he loves me and asks me
to marry him. He follows me every
where 1 go, tell him not to but
he does anyhow. He wants to buy
nice things for me, but I tell him
no, because l don't receive clothes
from men folks. l am my mothers
only child and she died when was
a baby and my father looks after
me. Tell me what to do for I do
not want my father to know about
it.
Ans: A young man who re-
fuses to work and make an honest
living is no fit sutton for you. He
may love you in his own selfish
way, but this affection has failed
to arouse his ambition. If he won't
work to gain your love before mar
riage, he wouldn't do any better
were you to marry him. He isn't
the fellow for you realize it
now, and center your interest
around someone else.
B. B.: To The Able Wallace
Service: Just a word to let you
know how much I thank you for
helping me and my aunt a few
weeks ago. Words cannot express
how much we appreciate what you
and your good work has done. We
are doing very very fine and
again we wish to thank you. Re-
member US in your prayers and
may God bless you. Sincerely
B. B.
L. W.: I am rooming and I don't
have but one room and my daugh-
ter and her two children are living
with me. Will we get a house as
we plan?
Ans: Register with every Real
Estate Agency in your city as well
as place your application for a Gov
eminent apartment. No four peO-
pie can live comfortably in one
room. Houses are very scarce
now, especially in the vicinity
where you are. Therefore, it is i'm
pOrtant that you register with
every Agency in your district.

L. G. S.: am tired of living here
and I am afraid that if Pm here I'M
til my husband comes back from
overseas, I'll be here the rest of my
life. l want to get away and make
a new life for our two little ones.
l love my husband though most of
our married life has been dominated
by his mother who says this is the
only place we can make a living.
He believes her. He wanted me to
visit him in camp but she thought
it best that 1 didn't and, of course,
/ couldn't go. Should l go where 1
plan or remain and let our marriage
go on the rocks?
Ans: A change of cities would
not be at all practical. Were you
to leave now, the entire care of both
your children would fall on your
shoulders. Whereas this response
bility is shared to some extent there
among your relatives. There is no
happy solution to your problem
right now and won't be until your
husband returns. But, in the mean
time concentrate all your energies
on making and saving every cent
that you can in order that you and
your husband may have a home
wherever you wish.
C. A: like your advices on ev-
erything. I am starting in business
and from the start l am not salts
fed and 1 would like to know from
you if should go on or quit now?
Ans: You have devoted time and
invested money in this business and
it would be impractical to close
down without giving yourself a
chance to succeed. Many businesses
operate at a loss at the beginning
and it is only through perseverance
and shrewd business tactics that a
person succeeds. Give this venture
a fair trial.
W. W.: Please help me. I'm a
young woman in my early twenties.
Have been married but now sepa-
rated and divorced. 1 met the nice
est man last summer. His wife is
dead and he has a boy six years old.
He says that he is in love with me
and wants me to marry him. His
job carried him out of town a lot.
Do you think I would be happy
married to him and living with his
little boy while he is away on trips I?
1 do not want to make failure in
my next marriage as 1 did in the
first one.
Ans: If you marry this man you
will be forced to assume the re-
spOnsibilities of a wife, a mother
and a part time father. Unfamiliar
as you are with the child, this would
be rather hazardous. Before decid-
ing one way or the other, visit in
the town where this man lives for
a couple of weeks and become
better acquainted with the situa-

L. G. B.: Several months ago I
became so disguised with my
husband that 1 left him. We have a
daughter nine years old and she is
with my mother who lives near my
husband. My daughter writes me
all the time to return to her as
she is so lonesome and she wants
me and her father to live together
again. I didn't find things quite
as l thought I would when l left.
He also has invited me to return.
Should I go or continue on here
as I am?
Ans: Swallow your pride and re-
urn to your husband and child. The
separation gave you a chance to
hink things over and realize that
JOu were not neglected as you had
thought he also has thought
Kings over and wants you back.
Your daughter needs you both very
BADLY, so return to them as quickly
IS you can.
W. K. W.: I fell in love with a
nan and he says he loves me. He
wants to marry me. But he is
lot divorced from his wife. He is
lot living with her. He went to
Ter and explained that he wanted
% marry again and she said it
was all right. She wrote on a
piece of paper that if he wanted
% marry to go ahead, that she
would not bother him. Should I
marry him or not?
Ans: No. the marriage would
not be legal unless he secured a
divorce from his wife. The slip Of
paper she wrote out for him isn't
worth the ink used he will have
to get a legal separation before he
can consider another marriage. If
he loves you he will begin the pro-
ceedings right away. The time it
will take to secure his freedom will
give both of you an opportunity to
find out if the feeling you have for
each other is mutual Don't go to
live with him until you can go as his
legal wife.
