A hand Advice on Courtship | And Marriage | By Betty Vincent |AN a man of forty be happy with| absolutely nothing in common, TI am a wife of seventeen A ia teases or bg rather pretty and it may be he ad. stricken old yachelor” writes. } «| mires me fo ysical charms, “At last I have fallen in love, d ie ene ces but I don't admire him for anything | he has, Ho has given mo-an engage- | ment ring and he and my mother) have set a date in November for our | wedding. Now I have another young | man who loves me and whom I am| devoted to. He wants me to elope with him and then walk in some evening and tell my mother we are married. I am eighteen .years old and 6ld enough to know my own mind. Would you advise me to marry the man of my choice ‘against my mother’s will (for she just hates the man I love), or would you advise me to do as my mother wants me to? I have always obeyed her in everything until now.” If you have always obeyed your mother I should not disobey her by marrying without her consent now that you are a young lady in your majority. However, I should not marry a man I did not love to pleuse her, You are now a woman and old enough to know the type of man you want to marry. Be frank and honest with your mother. ‘Tell her you can- not love this man and refuse to marry him. Then te her of your love affair and that you intend to marry the other man, but give her an opportunity to see you married, Re- member, your mother has loved you and cared for you all these years and it never seems quite fair for a daugh- ter to run away and marry without first inviting her mother to the cere- mony. Many a mother’s heart has perately so, but instead of choosing @ wife my own age I have proposed to @ little girl just seventeen, I have talked with her mother and several matrons about the difference in our ages, but all assure me that some- times it is much better for a ‘con- firmed old bach’ to wed a young ‘woman rather than one too near his own age, I am inclined to think #0 myself, because I feel that I can mould a younger woman into my ways; what do you think?” Some men of forty are younger than others of twenty. Your age has nothing to do with the case; it is your spirit If you are naturally young in your manner, play tennis, Uke to go to the theatre and have not lost your enthusiasm over life you need have no fear of marrying a@ young girl. But if you have gone to all the shows you care to see, hate games and Iate hours and are just marrying for a home and because you want to:settle down in life, bet- ter marry a woman your own axe. You can hardly expect a young girl to step forward into middle life, but if you can step back to her age and the things she will like and has a right to live, you may expect a very happy marriage. However do not try to mould a very young girl. You nmst accept her the way she is. T. B. writes: “Please advise me as f00n as you can. My mother wants me to marry a man I simply detest, He is five years older than I am— and a bookworm.
