Martha Lee’s Advice Parent s Supervision Should Be Reasonable

Two types of parents do a great dea.l of harm in this World. On type is that of thè parents who leave their children in care of maids while they go away and enjoy themselves without worrying. The other type is composed of parents who keep their children too dose to home for fear that they will be corrupted if they “run around." The naturai reaction to this second type is that thè children, feeling their parents do not trust them to take care of themselves. become embittered. Sometimes they break loose. Sometimes they “go wrong.” Even if they obey their parents they do it grudgingly. Father Is Strict bear Martha Lee: t nave 1 lecerne interested in your advice to othera and I aiit you *0 pive me some. 1 am a riri of ltf and I have tieen going with a gentleman of 10. I am very lonely. X met this boy when I was 14 I soli deeply in love. I c innnt ro with Xim any more because my parents object. to my even gpeakinr to hiri. I trv to forret him. for my parents' sake, but I cannot. I see him everv day. but I eannot talk to him. You gay that a girl of 14 does not know what love is, but X tnink you are roistaken in this case. My father won t let me so anywhere. but he makes me work and rive him half thè money. X eannot even brine siri friends to my house and treat them as lliey shouki be tre.ited. W- just have to sit and listen to my parents' convereation and that doesn't interest a young girl, do you think so? When my father does let me go anywhere. hi sets a oertain timo for me to get home and he follows me just to set: where I go. Stili he says he trusts me out I have to go to bed at 8 o’clock. Thts boy got a chance to talk to me about ten minutes thè other day and he asked me to be his wife. X am realìy too young to marry.. bui this lite ih miserabie. Sometimes I think that I will end it all. Miss I.ee. piente rive me tome gotici advice. Everv one but my parents likes this fellow. —SAP. I stili believe a girl of 14 does not know what reai love is. In your case, you probably have matured r.tpidly because you were denied many of thè ploasures mosr girla have. My dear, I feel sure your father is strict because he thtnks that Is best for you, not because he wants to make you unhappy. You should not marry for severa! years. I wonder why yotir parents object to this man. They must have some renson. Perhaps it It becausa you think too mutiti of him for a girl your age. I think it would be best for you to go to your father and teli him just how you feel. Teli him that you do not want to have "dates” (you can watt another year or so for that). but you would like to go out once in a ■while and to. entertain your girl friends. Remimi him t'nat you earn your own living and even give him part of your money, and so you are entitled to more freedom Appeal to him; don't anger him. Promise him that you will never do anvthing when away from him that you would not do
