S.—I have one son and he is in service. He asked me about gett ing married and I told him he was en tirely too young. He said he was marrying for me, because I didn t have no one to do for me if I should get sick while he was gone. He mar ried anyway. The girl comes where I am all of the time but my husband will not talk to her. She seems to be a nice girl and I like her. He nev er did. get aong with my sonl. Am I doing right by letting the girl visit me? Advise me what to do. Ans: The girl is your daughter in law and you must accept her as a member of the family. If her visits are causing friction in your home then you rust not encourage her to visit you too often. Cake it a point to invite her over at a time conven ient for both you and your husband. This will eliminate her barging in too frequently. Since yodr husband is a little jealous, do not neglect him en tirely hhen your daughter-in-law is around. Show him as much consider ation as you would when you two are alone. Handle the matter tactfully and by so doing, you can bring about more congenial relations between your husband and daughter-in-law. B. S. E.—Cy daughter wants to take a trip. Shall I let her go or not? I don’t know the people that she wants to go with. My daughter just met the girl and she said she seems to be very nice. She is mar ried and her husband and her are go ing away and wants my daughter to go along. Advise me what to do? Ans: Pleasure traveling should not be encouraged at this time. Nei ther should you give your consent for your daughter to make a trip with a married couple whom you know noth ing at all about. Encourage your daughter to save her money so that she can take a nice trip when the war [ Lunch | Room — (At Myrtis’ Tavern) ~ | 2229 LAKE STREET-1 = (Under New Management) ~ S Lillian Anderson and Louise S - Finney, Proprietors ~ “ "Prompt, Courteous Service" — I iiiiiiiiiiMMuiiiiiimiiiiimmimiiiiiii is over. She wouldn't derive a great deal of pleasure from a trip under the present congested conditions and with a young married couple. E. A.—I am in love with a man and I believe that he loves me. A few days ago he was made to marry another girl. But he said that won’t make any change between he and I and so far as I can see it hasn’t. He treats me just the same as he did be fore he married. But, 1 want to know must I go on with him. I am not married, I have two children and he is crazy about them but he isn’t their father. Help me. Tell me what to do. Ans: Give the man up now that he is married. If he had loved you as much as you are inclined to be lieve he wouldn’t have become in volved with another girl. For the benefit of your children, and your self as well, choose your friends from the desirable single men as you really need a good husband. A mar ried man can’t offer you any future securtiy. If you hang on to the mar ried man you may lose what chances you might have for getting married. M. M.—I have a wonderful hus band overseas. I’m in love with a fellow of 32. He is married and has a child 7 years old. I know loving him is wrong and I am just being sel fish, but I've tried to forget him and it is almost impossible. Please tell me what to do. I haven’t seem him in 2 months now and I find mvselt thinking of him night and day. I'll o anything you suggest. Ans: You amit that you have a McGILL’S — BAR & BLUE ROOM E. McGill.
