advice on By Betty The Parent Difficulty. 667 DA” « and love a girl the same age. She is as eager for marriage a3 I am, but we realize we are too young. We have known each other a year, but her parents are not aware of it. I do not know how to get on a friendly footing with her family. Yet I realize that if I am to stay friendly with the girl during the long time that must elapse before we can think of anything seri- ous 1 must get acquainted with her folks.” Certainly you must. And it should be perfectly simple. You are prob- ably timid about trying because you have kept your friendship with the young woman secret for so long. But you need not feel this way, because you are doing the manly and honor- able thing in seeking a meeting with them, Simply tell the girl frankly that you wish to call upon her at her home and meet her parents, No doubt she will be onty too glad, Perhaps she has been waiting for this a long time, She will readily sense the feel- ing of respect for her that is behind your wish. It will do a great deal| toward convincing her that you really | care for her. When you do call and meet her parents, try to show them by your) manner that you are interested and respectful, that you are fond of their daughter yet wish to take them into your confidence before making formal proposal to her. ‘This will come in writes: “I am eighteen And Marriage Courtship Vincent for forbidding you their home, Re- mind them that nowhere is it consid- ered fair to condemn a man without a trial. As @ self-respecting young man, you demand to know what they have heard about you to make them feel bitter. Or, if it is because the girl is two years older than you, urge them to let you talk it over frankly with them and present whatever rea- sons you have for feeling the slight disparity in ages {s not worth con- sidering. The strength of your affec- tion for the girl, your ability to pro- | vide for her when you marry, and your refusal to be cast aside un- heard, should surely make them Ii ten. There are few persons who can- not be approached through sincerity | and tact. Once they see your firm- ness and manliness, they will like you for it. “B, BE." is troubled because his par- ents have persuaded him not to meet a certain girl again, although he has visited at her home and been well re- ceived by her father and mother. This 18 undoubtedly because of your youth, B. B, you being but eighteen, while the girl is two years younger. The fact that your people also discourage your older sister from “keeping company” leads one to ssume that your father and mother are inclined to be too strict in their ideas of normal life for a boy or girl. It is difficult to advise you without knowing more details, But speaking generally, I should say that compro- mise is always the best course, Give! in to your parents’ wishes to a| reasonable extent, but do not form! of success because you have become friendly with the family and liked by them. ‘The case of “A, P.” presents more of a problem. “I am twenty," he writes, “and love a girl two years my senior, We have been dear friends for six months. Recently her parents have forbidden me to come to the house or hold communication with thelr daughter, though I do not know why. I have written to her in secret, but as this is dishonorable I am at a loss what to do. We are very un- happy.” Write a clea manly, courteous letter to the girl's parents, asking due course and wil! be all the surer| the habit of being led blindly. Do your own thinking, but try also to get their point of view. If they keer you so closely restrained that you have no liberty of action at all in the making of friendships, talk to them about it and try, through sensible ar- | gument and fair appeal, to win them at least partially to your way of thinking. Remind them that they were young not so long ago, and that | they must understand the call of| youth to youth, and the necessity of | the boy or girl for clean and inno- | cent association with other boys and girls.
