Love May be Hindrance or Inspiration to Man

WHEN a man falls in love, the obect of his love becomes either a hindrance or an inspiration. There is no “inbetween” stage. If the girl is a hindrance, the man had better drop her as he would a hot iron—but frequently he does not. On the other hand, if her love is the inspirational kind she •will spur the man on to do better things, and will put herself into the background fcr the time being, if necessary. That is an old-fashioned idea. But it still is a good one. Heart of a Child DEAR MARTHA LEE: I am 12 and I like a boy who is 14. He goes past our house every night. He used to speak to me, but now he won't even look at me. He likes one of my friends, but she does not like him. Please tell me what I can do to make up with him. BABE. Babe, if you were about six years older, you might have reason to worry. But as it is, don’t begin bothering about winning boys’ affections until you have to. Speak to this boy, just to show you harbor no ill feelings. BERTHA R.: You wanted to know the address of “the person who answers the questions of Martha Lee's r dvice.” That’s easy: Martha Lee. Indianapolis Times, Indianapolis, Ind. ■ Husband Is Jealous DEAR MISS LEE: I am a married woman of 25 and havs three children, 8. 7 | and 2 years old. My husba id Is jealous. He has no reason to be and my friends and neighbors respect me highly. He is of a deceitful disposition; to all appearance he Is a model husband. But I never go uptown, j to church or to a grocery unless he is along, and never have the grocery man or any other man come to my door, trying to keep down trouble. He Is of a very fast disposition, while I em quiet and modest. New Year’s I resolved “no more of it" and rebeled. Sometimes I feel I should give him a dose of his own medicine when he strikes me and knock him down. He says he is true to me. but I know he is not. If I should leave him Pd have to go away where he couldn't locate me or he would try to injure me. X could prove him unfit to have any of my babes. Se seems more animal than human. Please advise me. M. M. J. The sort of man you describe usually is a coward at heart. I think you could bring him around by threaten- : ing to make his acts public and to i sue him for divorce. It might make him realize, too, that that would mean the loss of his babies. There is just a chance that he would have a moral awakening. If that should have no effect, you

Martha Lee's Advice

could bring him Into court for striking you. However. I believe that will be unnecessary. Assert yourself, instead of being meek, and I think he will change. Fears Girl’s Love DEAR MISS LEE: I went with a girl for about five months. I love her with all my heart. She told me that she liked me. I quit going with her about six weeks ago. She sent me two letters asking what was the ! matter. I answered one letter, but not the i other. ! The reason I quit going with her is that X cannot go with her and do by best for my future. Can you tell me w-ltat to do? BLACK HAIR. If all men felt the way you do, we should have a most unbalanced world, with the unmarried, successful men cn one side and the married, unsuccessful ones on the other. Fortunately, love usually is an inspiration. Can you not strike a balance? Don’t go to see the girl so often that it Interferes with your work. Explain to her why you can come only once a week, or once every other week, as the case may be. And do not send her gifts you can not afford. . A Childish Quarrel DEAR MISS MARTHA LEE: I am a girl of 17. lam going with a follow who Is very Jealous He is 20 Last night at the theater there was a crowd in front of us and I could not see very well. When the next show- started he insisted on going home. I would not go because I had missed part of the show. He got up and left me alone. After the show he was waiting to take me home. We quarreled and I told him to get on a stret ear and go home. He would not and he went home with me. He asked when he should call again and I told him I would let him know by telephone. Would it be doing right to call him up? GRAY EYES. It would have been much better for you to tell him to call you in a few days. But as you told him you would call, you had better stick to your promise. You could write him a note, telling him when you could see him. He was very rude to leave you in the show, but apparently regretted his action. Fickle Fancy MY DEAR MISS LEE: I am a girl of IS. I have gone with six or seven boys since September. Every time I meet another boy I can hardly bear the former one. At times I am so unhappy and again I seem very well pleased with the situation. What can I do? ANXIOUS. You are fickle, to say the least. It is natural that a girl of your age should go with a number of different boys, but it is not natural for you to dislike one as soon as you meet

I wonder whether a bit of i vanity enters into the question; i whether, as you become friendly with j the new boy, the old one gives you i less attention and so becomes an 4 object for your dislike. Think this over and then do not be self-conscious when one boy stops being quite so attentive. Refuses to Write DEAR MISS LEE: I have known a voung man eight years and kept company with him three years. He always seemed to think a lot ol me. When he was called into service we wrote to each other. All at 1 once his letters stopped. Now he is home again. I met him on the Street and he always seems glad to see me. So I sent him word I wanted to talk with I him. as I would like to know why he stopped writing to me He has refused an answer. Should I continue to speak to him when I see him or pass on?
