2. c. B.-I am strongly con-
sidering selling the old home
place as I am an only child and
I am permanently located here
in the city in a home Of my own.
1t requires too much Of my time
going back and forth looking af.
ter the property. Would it be
wise to sell?
Ans: There is no reason why
you should not dispose of the
property if you find it a burden
and worry. Put it up for sale.
1t won't be difficult to find a
buyer as the property is very
desirable and in a good location.
N. o, Ii am coming to you,
hoping you a help me with my
girl friend. She is a nice girl in
every respect but she likes to
drink and when she drinks. she
runs around with men. I want
you to let me know what to do
about her?
Ans: Don't take her seriously
as long as she drinks and runs
around. She couldn't be in love
with you and behave in this man.

C. CT have been married il
months and can't make up my
mind to stay with my wife. I
love her but seems like / can't
stay there and be satisfied. I tell
her I am going to do better and
as soon as 1 leave her, I go right
back to the woman I used to 60
with. 1 know I don't love this
woman and 1 want to know what
to do to leave her alone?
Ans: Spend your evenings in
the presence of your wife and
the temptation to visit the other
woman will not be 50 great.
Should your money run short, the
other woman would suddenly
lose all interest in you. You love
your wife-change your ways be-
fore it is too late.

ner. Insist on her going on the
water wagon else you had better
look for a new girl friend on
which to center your interest.
F. MY husband and I have
been separated two months just
because his mother and I couldn't
get along. His mother said
as long as she lived, he was 60
ing to listen to what she said
and after she passed, I could
take over. What am I to do?
Ans: Get in touch with your
husband and have him come
where you are to live. You can
find happiness if you live in an
apartment away from his folks
but a divorce is inevitable if you
return to him there in his
mothers home.
P. CT am having lots Of mis-
fortune here lately. A man is try.
ing to buy the place where I'm
renting. He has a place Of his
own but dislikes us very much.
Is there anything We can do to
keep him from getting it?
Ans: No. not unless you swing
a deal and buy the property your
self. You are only renting and
the owner has perfect right 70
sell at any time and to any one
whom he chooses.
B. N. CT correrponded with
a fellow from Chicago fro 10
months. He convinced me that
he was serious and asked that
I come there and we would get
married. I made all my arrange
ments to wed and arrived in Chi
cago the 18th of July. We were
to marry Immediately. He put it
off, day by day for a week SO I
packed my things and came
home. Did I do right?
Ans: Indeed you did. He did
not live up to his promises and
you were wise to break away as
you did and return home. Con-
slider the engagement broken. 1t
worked out for the best as it
would have been a big shock had
you proceeded with your plans
only to find out that he did not
love you.

of the penny-pinchers couldn t see the good side of this effort by MT. Eisenstein. They hint ed heavily that this was only done for future business.
 But what they fail to see is that the party did not have to come off at all. Nate did not have to go out of his way to make things pleasant for the children. His store is in the neighborhood it still would get most of the trade with or without the party. 1 am glad that these agitators were few in number. The majority of the parents appreciate the fine community spirit being formu- lated by these yearly gather ings at Mates Market.
 Oh, yes, before forget Mrs. Maude Hines of Brooklyn, N. Y. is spending the holidays with her daughter Mrs. Eunice Jackson of 16 State Terrace.
 It has been nice pinch-hit- ting for MT. Garvin. Will you allow me to leave these thoughts with you about the coming year? We know that it was only through the di- vine mercy of God that we are still around. The New Year ahead is similar to a blank piece of white paper. What ever marks appearing, the next year this time will be made by our actions. So, we should strive to keep it well with our good deeds and conspicuously clean of the bad.
