i it is possible that there is something objection- able about the young lady which you do not know. If the girl is respectable, and you love her and she you, and you are in a position to provide her with a comfortable home of her own, there is - no reason why you should not marry her. - | —_—_—> ‘‘] have been married three years, and although my husband earns good wages he will not give meany clothes. I have to ask my mother for ail of them. Please tell me what you think. Even he admits that I have not failed in my duty to him. 2) read ‘My Queen’ every week and I think that if the girls would take some of the lessons taught in these stories to heart, they would be much happier.

He is about twenty years old. I have known him for the past four years, but never gave him a thought until about a year ago, when he showed by his actions that he cared for me. _ Please advise me what to do: Whether to stop thinking of him or to try atfd gain his love. I think I could learn to love him, but I want to be sure. Ciara B.C.” _ Do not try to learn to love any man. When the one you really love comes along, you will care for him without learning. Do not bein haste to fallin love—it will come soon enough. We would advise you to endeavor to cease thinking of this he has his college course completed. ' ° _ “TI went with a young man for two years, and Tast summer I went toa whist party with him. that night he did something which provoked Me, and I did something which provoked him in return. He went home with another girl. We have met bat once since. I like him very much and T think he does me, but I cannot be sure. We are both light-complexioned, does that make any difference? Please advise me what to do, wi ‘* BLANCHE R. H.” About the only way for you to make up for this quarrel, which you now seem to think was fool- ish, would be for vou to ask the young man to eall upon you the next time vou meet him. You cannot very well do more than this without seem- in £ too forward. Wedo not think thata similarity of complexions needs to he considered seriously. al 7 “There is one certain girl I love,and she seems fo pay attention to me, too, but we have not been introrneed yet. I asked a boy to give mean intro- a€uctio, and he was going to do so, but I backed / out. Would it be right for me to ask whether I MY QUEEN. young man in an affectionate way, at least, until could see her home at the same time I am intro- duced? Mike M,” Why did you ‘‘back out’’ when you had the opportunity you desired? ‘‘Faint heart ne’er won fair lady.’’ We see no reason why you may not ask permission to escort the lady to her home when you are introduced to her. She may not wish to accept your escort at so early a stage of your acquaintance, however, and you must not feel discouraged if she refuses it. “JT am in love with a young man whov*hasa twin brother and they look just alike and dress just alike. When they are sitting down neither I nor any one else can tell Hebbart from Her- man. The only way I can tell Hebbart is because he walks a little lame. He asked me to be his wife, and I dearly love him. What is your advice? ‘Lena L.” It would b: very embarrassing to be unable to tell to whom you were married. Suppose you should get them mixed up sometime! Are you perfectly sure which one you are in love with? We would advise you to cultivate their acquaint- ance tintil you are able to tell them apart at all times before you decide to marry one of them. ‘Tam a young woman of twenty-five years and have been married almost five years. I do not live with my husband, for when we were married he had another wife. A year after our marriage his first wife came to him, and he went away with her, leaving me with a little girl two months old. Now a young man has asked me to marry him, and IT like him well enough, but cannot marry because I have no divorce from my hus- _band. Do you think I ought to marry him or not? ; Mrs. B. L.”? You would have little trouble in having your marriage declared legally void. Consult a reliable attorney and have him see that all the formati- ties are complied with. Explain the case to your lover frankly and he will understand why you cannot honorably marry him immediately. If he loves you, he will be willing to wait until you are free. “lam a widower, thirty-eight years old, and have four children, my wife being dead four and a half years.

Is it becoming in me to trv to win her love or not? J.C. Ww.” There is nothing dishonorable in a man alone trying to gain a woman’s affection, but we doubt whether any man hasa right to ask a woman to assume his burdens, Do you think it is fair to this young girl to ask her to assume the care of your four children? She is entitled toa man’s whole love, to a free and happy wifehood. Can . you offer her this? é¢ ’ ‘ ; Tama young girl, sixteen years old, and am very attractive.
