w. S.-My wife ard | married IN
1914 and we LEI, in as and lived
on the west coast. We came back
and bought a home. We owe a lit
tie on it and we are thinking of
going back out to the coast for
awhile and work, Do you think it
wise? l have happy and loving
home.
Ans: - Stay there and enjoy il. A
temporary change back to the
west coast is not advisable as it
would incur an awful lot of ex-
pense and it would hardly be
worth your while, especially since
you plan to stay only few
months. You and your wife have
regular employment there in your
home town and are doing nicely.

she didn't marry me then, | would
get someone else and ! married
another girl Now she says if |
had waited, she would have mar
ried me. Did l make mistake?
Ans:-Your most serious mistake
is trying to enter the girls life
again you made your choice,
have the courage to stick by your
decision. You cannot impress her
now as she will not go with a
married man. Make up your mind
to find happiness with your new
wife as you could not have loved
the other girl very much, else
you would not have taken the
steps that you did.
