ABBE’S NEW 1945 READINGS ARE NOW READY
J. C. N.—I have written you be
fore and now I want your help a
gain My husband left about three
months ago and in his last letter
he said that he wanted a divorce.
He hasn't gotten it as yet. I wrote
him that I still loved him and will
always and if I had done anytthing,
I wanted to apologize. I put my
pride down and let him know just
how I felt. I wish to know what
I must do?
Ans:—Sit steady in the boat a
while longer and give him a chance
to get his wits together and decide
what he wants to do. The seperat
ion, although a forced one, was just
a little too much freedom for him
to cope with at once. It went to his
head and he began to beleive that
is was more satisfying than mar
ried life. Many people who exper
ience the effects of sudden freedom
hav felt as he has but the majority
sober up and get over it. Be patient
and give him ample time to put
these emotions behind him.
B .L. T.—1 am eighteen years of
age, a Freshman n College and have
a very nice boy friend. I attend
school in the same city where 1 live.
My problem is: Mother and father
are very strict, and they will not let
me go out with him olone unless
mother is with us. Now I think that
I am old enough to take care of my
self and the boy is very nice and in
telligent. Could you give me some
advice?
Ans:—lour parents trust you but
the believe that it is character
building to show a definate interest
in and be part of all of j our act
ivities. Once they are assured that
your present companion is of good
character and vorthy of your
friendship, they will be more len
ient in their attitude toward him.
Your parents attitude should not be
embarassing to you at all as young
men appreciate a girl who has been
reared under the proper supervision
As time goesby. the restrictions will
be lifted gradually.
A.L.D.—I‘m very much in love
with a boy here in my home town
and lie says he loves me too but he
lets other girls wear his cap. rings,
glasses and etc. He tells me he does
not go with them and then he goes
for weeks and weeks at a time with
out even noticing me. T love him so
much. Must I leave him alone and go
with the out of town friend or must
1 still remain on the waiting list?
Ans;—A youngster your age
shouldn't he sitting around for any
fellow while he has his fling with
other, girls. Step oif the waiting
list and on to the popularity list and
give him a few thinks to think ab- i
out. After all there are other bojs
who have- caps, rings, glasses and j
etc., too and thej- make about the
same impression. A girl who is con

C. M.—I am a girl age 19 and in
love with two boys. One has been
going with me for over three years.
He has been overseas for some time
and now he back in the U. S. and is
stationed in Fla., He wants to marry
me, but insists that we wait until
the war is over. I love him better
that I do my other boy friend, but 1
don't want to wait until the war is
over to marry. I sure love him and
believe that he loves me. The other
one* is stationed in Texas and we
have known each other for some
time but it wasn't until November
when he was on furlough that he
said he loved me. He wants me to
marry him right away. Please tell
me what to do.
Ans:—Follow the dictates of your
heart and wait for the boy with
whom you have been in love for the
past three years. Situated as he is,
in the service, he can't provide a
home for you as he would like to
and he prefers to wait until he can.
before getting married. If you love
him, you won't find it difficult to
wait. It would be very unfair to the
other boy to marry him knowing
that your hears belonged to someone
else. Marriage is such an important
step in everyone's life that it should
not be entered recklessly and with
too much haste.

Los Angeles (CNS) For the first

As a result, the colored people a

April 11th and afterward crowded
backstage to congratulate the Kauf

glad to see them.
It was interesting to note that
the Association itself feels very
happy over the decision, as many
