Cftt, why a dog so often turned round and round before finally) lying down. wonder if you could give us the reason if there is a reason for this. Thanl( for the anticipated answer. TED, Murray, Utah. Yes, Ted, there really is a reason for this. The dog is simply a wild animal made tame, or domesticated. Now the dog follows the habit of it wild forefathers who lived in the jungle grass and if they wanter a comfortablo bed they had to turn round and round a few times to as to level the grass. Will be glad to hear from you again. Dear Miss Brooks: This dreadful affair is telling on my health and I feel I MUST do something to avert the situation please help me. Miss Brook. Ceorge is so very attentive and thoughtful, and it is this quality 1 like so much. But gradually he has become be-come to regard me more intimately until un-til he asked me to marry him. He is forty years old while I am only 21, but m spite of this he is very romantic. ro-mantic. .Now,, he will not take "no for an answer and oh, how I hate to disappoint him. He has said over and again that 1 am the most glorious thing that had ever entered his life, that he would never care to go on alone without with-out me and would have nothing more to live for. I have seen despair manifest mani-fest itself jn boys before, yet )they were younger and I knew they would gel over it nicely. Somehow the thought occurs to me so many times, that Ceorge might commit suicide. Rather would I do anything than to have caused such e tragic, despicable, surely sure-ly dreadful thing. Yet, 1 cannot feel 1 should marry him, as the disappointment disappoint-ment Would be greater then when he learned I did not love him then comes the fear . that probably I could not keep such a vow a lifetime; when I became bored, a half hour seems a dreadful age what of a LIFETIME? LIFE-TIME? Yet, I DO like his loving me. Probably, I should have married him, had it not been for my family, who highly disapprove of him and, well, I guess their argument IS only reasonable, i. e., he cannot, at this time, support a wife in any inJ of moderate comfort, I will try to put this from my conscience con-science until your answer appears. Oh, please, may I hear from you as soon as posible ? Yours disconsolately, AMBER, Dubois, Idaho. You poor dear disconsolate, cheer up. I can't believe it can be half as bad as you seem to think. In the first place you infer that you do not love George. If so you should by all means tell him about it. In the consideration of marriage, disparity of age should not be of nearly near-ly so great importance as that of whether you have a similar viewpoint on the essential things of your every day life. Age is largely a matter of thought. Many people are younger at forty than others are at twenty-one. Beware of the man who says he cannot live without you. That is selfishness. sel-fishness. In most instances they manage to get along quite nicely, and I wonder after all if it is worth tbe trouble to try to prevent them from committing such a "tragic, despicable, dreadful thing. How do you feel about it by this time. It isn't a bad idea to consider con-sider your family's viewpoint. They are quite trustworthy as a rule and are thinking only of your interests. Here is wishing you the best of luck and may happiness attend you whatever the outcome. out-come. Please do not let it hang on and permanently injure your health.
