like he says and should 1 con.
tinue to write him?
Ans: Avoid any dealings with
this fellow as though he was con-
taminated with a contagious dis
ease. He made his choice now let
him abide by his decision. He
wasn't very much in love with you,
else he would not have chosen the
other girl. Time heals all wounds
it won't take you but a very
few weeks to put this man out Of
your mind entirely.
M. A. j.: have known Dolores
for a number Of years and about
six months ago ! fell in Glove" with
her. She seems to love me very
much and about three weeks ago
she asked me to marry her. What
must l do, should marry herr? ?
Ans: It's a wOman's privilege to
"pOp the question" during leap
year, but sometimes it's a mans
salvation to refuse. Especially so
when the girl and boy are not fully
grown. You realize, of course, that
you are in no position to take on
the responsibility of a wife and
family. Therefore, ask her to wait
a couple of years before getting
serious.
E. L. M: I am a girl of "a and
am married to Service Man. ]
am living with my mother on her
farm which she is trying to pay for
She wants me to take part of my
money which I draw from the Gov
eminent and help her pay for her
place. Will it be wise for me to dc
that or try to get me a home alone
I want to do the best thing for my
husband and me as well as help my
mother.
Ans: Prices on property are sky
high right now, so don't consider
buying a place of your own. In.
vest your allotment check in War
Bonds each month. When the wal
is won you and your husband to-
gether can choose your future
home. At the present remain with
your mother and help her out. The
money you pay her each month fOr
board will more than take care OF
the payments on her property thus
insuring her a home for the future
I think it would be a bit unfair
to invest you and your husbands
savings in her property without
his consent.

L. j.: I am a young lady who
loves to make friends everywhere
I go. And I know that I carry my
self in such a manner to make
friends too. I plan to spend my va
cation with my aunts. But the
young man I am going with says
that I wouldn't be happy if 1 went.
Do you think he is trying to do any
harm to me? 1 am worried.
Ans: Go ahead with your vaca-
ton plans and make up your mind
to enjoy yourself. In a few weeks
you are going to have to get down
to hard work again. Your young
admirer isn't trying to harm you
but he dislikes the idea of losing
you as his steady companion for
the coming few weeks.
C. D.: I am 10 and my husband
is "a. Lately married, not knowing
each other long. He likes to go a
lot but I never hear or see him
with women. He tells me all the
time that he loves me. Should I be
angry and fuss when he goes off or
should I demand that he stay at
home?
Ans: It's the first few months
of marriage that begins the fOrma-
ton of lasting habits. If your hus-
band enjoys going out, you should
make that your interest too. The
time and effort you spend in keep
ing yourself attractive will pay big
dividends. When your husband
comes home in the evenings and
finds you looking like million dol
lars, he isn't going out alone. A
husband and wife should learn to
play together as well as work
together.
E. D. j.: am married and have
been for z years. We will quit
and go back together but it seems
we can't stay together very long
at time. Should I quit trying to
stay with him since we can't get
along and get a divorce? l still
love him and am sure that he
loves me too.
Ans: Marriage is a give and take
proposition there are times
when you must give in to your
mates wishes and he should do
likewise. Some couples would be-
come bored with a calm cOlOrless
atmosphere year in and year out.
0utbursts, when not too violent, act
as safety valves and relieve ten
sion. Thus far you both have been
sports as to these squabbles. But,
you are treading on dangerous
grounds gradually lead away
from these childish Outbursts as
you two become more accustomed
to each other. You don't want
divorce.
P. M. F.: I read your column
regularly. I would like to know
if you can give me any informa-
ton on joining the WACS or the
WAVES. I want to know how far
you have to go in school before
you can join and can you join either
one after finishing Junior High
School? ! am very anxious to find
this out. Please help me.
Ans: Inquire at your local Post
Office for information on this sub
ject if there is not a Recruiting
Office located in your town. The
Postmaster will be glad to help
you secure information of this
nature. If you prefer, write to the
WAC Recruiting Office in the larg-
est city in your state and they will
give you decriptive literature
about this branch of service. Your
qualifications should make you
eligible to join either branch.
H. T.: My problem is this:
have been going with a boy and
he married about a month ago. He
has gone to California and left his
wife here. He writes me and l
write him. He says he is not mar
ried but know he is. What shall
I do? I love him, does he love m
