Dear Miss Watters CHILDREN REBEL AGAINST* DELAYED MARRIAGE OF MOTHER I Dear Miss Watters: I have been reading your! column right along, some of my close friends abo read it and we all think your advice show fore sight and wisdom that is not often found in the head of one person. You must have done a lot of studying of peopl s trou bles to almost always be able to give the right answers. Me and my friends, often tall: about my problems so we decided to write you for av'vice. Maybe I shouldn’t do it for I am getting to the age where many people just laugh at you, from beh'n l your back when you start to talking about love. But 1 b^l eve a person is just as old as they feel. My hus band was killed in an accident down south about 15 years ago leaving :ve with four young child ren to br;ng up. Since that time I have worked hard and made iots ef sacrifices so they could get some school ng and be able to take their p'ace in life with oth er p ople. Now that they aie Up from under my feet and able tc look after themselves I feel that I should enjoy life some by find ing a husband. For for some rea son ary children ar? jealous of my marrying any man and makes it unpleasant for my men friends who visit me. My oldest boy says that if I have gone thi” far and not remarried that it is too late now and that he is willing to take care of ire but not my husband. The man -I am thinking about marrying doesn’t make much money but he always has work to do and our expenses wouldn't be much because I have imy own housje and furniture which 1 bought with the money left out of my husbands accident. I love my children and don’t want to hurt their feeling but I think I’ve got a right now to some married happiness without th"m trying to break iP up. Mis. F. Dear Mrs. F.: Certainly every sane grown person has the right and privi lege of choosing their husband or w.'ie. If you ha/e sacrificed that these young ones might have a chance in life—then, out of their gratefulness they should be helping you to find happiness, in stead of hindering. Children who usually have pictured in their minds all of the good trait” of their deceased father or mother are not going to accept too readi ly the living step-father or moth er whose faults as well as good traits are bound to be apparent. However, this alone is no argu ment against your getting mar ried. But in your case, ev.n in their rebellion, vour children are perhaps trying to protect you from possible unhappiness. Your home and furnishing are yours and thy perhaps fear that through some manner your next husband might come into control of the home assets. Consult a competent attorney and have this matter cleared up. A man past 45 who hasn’t securea a perva nent source of income is a bad risk. This woud be an argument against your marriage. With the three above suppositions cleared up you should have clear sailing, only rcm, inhering that “After we get along in years it is not easy to develop new habits or different modes of living. Many things which appear desirable to us b cause of long years of denials quick'y lose their lustre after being acquired.” Miss Watters Dear Miss Watters: I will be sevente n 3 months from now, and am contemplating marriage. Every one disagrees with me on the subject. They *ay I should continue to go to col lege. I do not want to go and it would simply be a waste of money to send me. The boy I intend to marry is 18. He does not make much tout I can get a job and as we love each other so much we have agreed not to let money matters worry us. I am afraid if I do not marry this boy right away he may grow tired of me and I love him very much. Should I go against the wishes of my parents and friends an 1 marry him anyway. Sixteen Dear Miss Sixteen: Take your time Miss Sixteen, you will have many good years ahead of you after jou have fin ished college to find out what makes the clock of marriage tick. Thera are hundreds of young | p ople, even college graduates; who could tell you that jobs are not to be had just for the asking. Give this boy whom you love so dearly a chance to try his wings.
