DEAR MARY HAWORTH:

DERHAPS you can help me
i make up my mind in a most
urgent matter At the age of 80
D have fallen deeply in love, for
the first time I'm my life, and the
man is nine years my junior. He
Is truly a wonderful man, with
pc character, good looks and
Mhusual ability. We have been
friends for the last six years.
and during this period our adj
miration for each other has
grown steadily.
He is now a captain in the
army, and as you might imagine,
has met many flattering young
ladies, but he has not been
swept off his feet by their at
tentions.
He has told me l am the only
woman he loves; and has proved
it by asking me 10 marry him.
in spite of the fact that | have
a slight heart ailment and am
older than he. / have told him
il would be wiser for him TO for
get me because of these two
facts, but he won't listen.
He is the most persistent per-
son l have ever met. He asserts
that if / really love him, as l
have let him believe, l would not
hesitate to marry him, no mat
ter what the outcome might be.
Now, what should ] do7 My
head says, BE very careful"
But my heart says loudly,

10 be high strategy, because
after World War l, when the
covenant of the League of Ma

knew what tfiekeries had been

they say that Shantung had been

They threw the whole treaty

Henry Morgenthau might have
summarized his plan into the
single sentence of wiplng the
