o Postscript Crux of Woman’s
Letter
Tells of Real Cause of Indecision in Few Words at
End—Man Thrifty and Parents Approve—
Difference in Religion.
By MARTHA ALLEN
DEAR Miss Allen: I now have a problem before me which has caused
me a great deal of thinking. So am coming to you for your good
advice.
Two years ago my cousin made me the acquaintance of her cousin and
his folks. He and his folks have been great friends of mine ever since.
And I always want to be. We hav% exchanged visit* different times by
staying a few days at each other’s homes, as we live several miles apart.
During our visits this young man has taken me out a number of times.
Upon his visit at my home of but a few weeks ago he expressed his
love for me and asked my consent to marry. I did not accept an engage
ment ring and told him I felt very much undecided. I as well, told him
that I thought myself too young to consider such a serious problem as
marriage. Of course he does not think I am too young. He told me to
think It over and that perhaps I would know more about what I would
‘do by next summer. Now I must say I have been doing very much thinking
since.
«. Where my most trouble Is I do not know If I really love him. I do not
long for him when he is not in my company. I have never gone with boys
before. Do you think that that is the reason why I am so undecided. Our
parents think it would be all right for us to marry. He Is what one would
call close with his money. He has a ear but does not run It only when he
; just has to. Do you suppose he would be that way after we were married,
i or more so? He has told me when we first went together that when he
■ married he wanted a wife to help him make money and not to spend it.
Now, how would you take that, Miss Allen?
W'as I correct In writing him a letter of appreciation as to the good
time he showed me on a visit at his home? Since my writing him we have
been corresponding. If he sends me a Christmas present should I accept
It? I have accepted randy. Thanking you, I remain, UNDECIDED.
P. S. We are of different religions.
I wonder If you are not a typical woman. If so, the Important point
i»f your letter is In the postscript. Religious differences may cause serious
trouble. They don’t slwnys do so, however. Better get thst question set
, tied before you become engaged. I mean, you should talk the matter over
Jtogether and see If you are on a basis that will allow you to live In harmony
and tolerance of each other’s views.
You don’t tell me your age so I cannot say whether or not you are
too young to become engaged. Your parents approve, which Is In the young
man’s favor. .
If his closeness with Tqoney is thrlff It Is a fine thing to find In any
young man. Consider It to be that before you call It stinginess.
Always write a note of thanks after you have been a yuest at any
one’s home, whether It be at the home of your fiance or Just’close friends.

Blnndie: Sitting In the auto after
your escort brings you to your home
cheapens you In the eyes of your
neighbors and your parents. Tour
self-respect ought to guide you. It
seems a little more degrading to sit
in the auto of your escort while It Is
parked on a side road perhaps because
it Is against the law In some cities.

“My Husband's Love”
Lillian Took Tp the Book Containing
Dicky’s Prototype.
Before her husband had reached the
door Harriet Bralthwalte rose with
dignity but alacrity.
“I’m coming too, JCdwln,'’ she aald.
"I’m more tired than I thought."
She bade Lillian and me a cordial
goood-night, and the door closed be
hind her. Lillian looked after her
curiously.
“For sliding down the ladder and
getting Into your clothes on the way,
commend me to a physician's wife,"
she commented. “What would hap
pen to that man If she died.”
"The thing that did happen," *1
said laconically.
She looked at me with puzzled
brows for an Instant, then compre
hension flashed into her eyes.
“Ah! yes, I remember, when she
was 111. He simply had to depend
upson some one. Katherine was
nearest at hand Lucky for both him
and his wife. Katrina Is so level
headed and mountain-minded. But
there may be a vamp In the ofllng
next time, and then where will Mrs.
B. alight? On her nose. In the middle
of the road, I'm thinking. It will be
a tragedy, but in one way It will be
coming to her. No human being has
a right to make a helpless Infant of
another. And that man ought to be
father to half a dozen youngster*."
William Passee Judgment.
"He might not have been so good
a surgeon,” I protested, a feminine
Illogical ranging of my sympathies
with my slsterln-law Impelling me
to a contradiction of the very Judg
ment I had mentally pronounced upon
the Bralthwalte menage
"Stuff; also yet and again, non
sense," she retorted- "Responsibilities
bring out the beat effort In the right
kind of people. But a truce to them!
Let'* get at those dishes and then we
ran talk. I don't suppose you cere to
exchange any confidence* In the
kitchen."
"Not with Mrs. Marks on the other
side of that thin partition," I replied,
and for the next hour we worked,
swiftly, and for the most part, silent
ly, exchanging only the most neces
sary and casual of words. We re
tiirned our neighbor's table to her
tpartment, and I made a trip to the
basement, finding Mrs. Schwartx en
gaged In polishing her gas stove
"But I meant to do that,” I pro
tested.
"Vy should you toll your fretty
lands?" she Inquired, smiling broadly.
Now mine, dot'a all they’re fit for.
Did you like the gravy?"
I rose to the occasion, and emulated
i former prince of Wales, rejoicing
hat I could add an Item of real truth
when I told her of the repeated help
ngs of the sauce garnished squsah
which Dr. Bralthwalte and Dicky had
lemanded.
"Mens alvaye Tlks dot sweet sauce,"
iha commented complacently. “I
hought you’d be glad I fixed It up
or you. But you must never have
10 much water for your gravy.
Vow—"
Madge Must listen Patiently,
Rhe began a long dissertation upon
navy making to which I listened with
lUtward and courteous patience. But
was relieved, Indeed, when, after a
iberal gratuity which, to do her Jus
Ice, she had to be urged to accept, I
vent back upstairs to Lillian.
”1 was just about to call out the
•eserves." she sold when I entered.
I'll wager a helping of that sweet
lauce," she grinned maliciously,
‘you've been listening to • cooking
eeann."
"The head of the class for you," I

returned crossly. "Will you tell me
why a woman like that Is never sat
isfied unless she Is Instructing rmt
one?”
"Nature of the beast,” Lillian com
mented lightly. "They never say,
'How nice this Is, but 'How nice this
will be after I fix It up my way.’ Sit
down and forget her. I want to tell
you about this beauty.”
She • held up the book wlitch had
caused me such unhappiness, the
novel portraying a hero the exact
physical and mental prototype of
Dicky, and which gave him no con
stancy whatever in marriage.
"In the first place,” she said, "the
author had another man's marital ad
ventures In mind when he wrote this
book.”
