strenuous objections are prov

man isn't good enough for me:
yet in education and earning
power, he is superior to her
father. ! hate to have anything

me as she is all the family /
have, but don't want this chance
for happiness to slip by. My girl

no major fault to be found in
my friend; in fact the standards
Of this school are so high that

ANSWER: Your daughter must
have some reason for baking at
your remarriage. She should
be fair enough to tell you what
it is. This you should insist
upon. It's barely possible that
her reason may concern some
thing of which you are unaware.
Her only other reasons would be
selflsh-a desire to keep you
dependent upon her emotionally,
the dislike of losing whatever
money or property you may
have. or just the Discrimination to
see you once more established as
a wife.
The details you outlined con-
corning your friend and yourself
indicate two fine people who
would make a very good mar
riage. Unless, as I suggested, your
daughter gives you sound 4easons
for her opposition, go ahead and
marry the man. I'm sure your
daughter will then realize how
happy you are. and win relent.
She is living her life with the
husband Of her choice; the same
right should not be denied you.
