THE COUNCILS VIEW
It's a mistake for any girl
to give up all her boy friends
until she has come to a def
mite agreement of marriage
with one man. but outside Of
that we fail to see where
Belle is making any serious
error.
A young man who has sue
cessfully run a business for
several years could be emo
tionally strongly attached to
his mother, but it is most un-
likely that he would be the
namby pamby type OF
Mama'S boy.
Mary may have her friends
interests uppermost, but she
is taking too much upon her
self when she advises her in
this important matter.
Belle has been wise to stick
to her own view of the mat
ter. However, she shouldn't
count on marrying Mike un-
til she has something definite
to go on.
