LOUlSA'S LETTER

Dear Louisa:-
/ am a widower with one child.
Just lately I have fallen in love
with fine girl who seems to have
all the qualities any man could de-
sire.
She has agreed to marry me on
one condition-that | let my child
live with his grandparents. Now my
boy and l have been very devoted
to each other, particularly since the
death of his mother, and this would
be very hard for both of US.
What would you advise me to do?
YOUNG FATHER.
Answer:
My advice to you is to break off
with this young woman as soon as
possible, and thank your stars that
you escaped being tied for life to
anyone so selfish and heartless.
Any woman who will try to sep
arate a lonely little boy from his
single parent is hard-hearted, in
deed. If she loved you very much,
she would be anxious to mother
your little son knowing how happy
such course would make you and
feeling a natural sympathy for
motherless little boy.
Yours,
LOUISA

LOUISA,

Dear Louisa:
make as much money as the boy
I go with, does. Do you think it will
be all right for me to foot some
of the bills when we go out at
night?
l know he cannot afford to take
me lots of places and l feel that he
is probably not paying his bills in
order to give me good time. He
says it makes him leel little for me
to pay for anything. He says he
will do what you advise.
BESS.
Answer:
l can understand how the young
man feels when you want to pay
half on your bills, but under the cir
cumstances, there seems to be only
two courses left to him.
The first is to give up going out
as much as you do and only to those
places and things he can afford. If
you both feel dissatisfied with that
the only alternative
will be to have a recreational fund
to which you both contribute and
which he will handle. That will at
least give him the handling of the
