ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl almost nineteen. I hare had a great many boy friends not merely friends, but suitors. I ant keeping company with a young man almost nine years

older than myself. We think a great deal of eaeh other. He Is my second cousin. Do you think , we are too closely related to marry? There Is also another barrier. He has been raised in a very different community from where I have been raised. He lives about thirty miles from my home. Where he lives they do not think there la any harm in drinking, dancing and

gambling, If not carried too far. My friend has done these things, but not since I have been keeping company with him. The Question is, do you think I could live in a community like that? Some of my relatives are against my marrying him. I think it is because I am distantly related more than anything else. Should other people's opinions count for anything when It means my happiness? PUZZLED.

f Z J

It is supposed to be all right for

second cousins to marry. There Is no law against It, and doctors consider it

safe. . There are people with high standards in any locality. You will find congenial people who believe as you do even where morals are looser. I think, however, that you are very young to marry and should not even become engaged for a year or two. You should consider the opinion of your friends very seriously because they have your happiness at heart. Dear Mrs. Thompson; I am a young man of twenty-four, and recently I have been corresponding with a girl of only seventeen, though In actions and Judgment she is as mature as an intelligent lady of twenty-five. She finishes high school this year and intends to enter college at the opening of the next term. We are very much devoted to each other, and. although apparently her parents would not object to me going to see her, I have held back because I thought that she was too young and too busy with her studies. However, I will be inducted Into the military service right away, and would

like very much to go to see this girl

before I embark for "over there. "GREEN HORN."

Write to the girl and tell her that

you would like to see her before you go away. I am sure that her parents will be willing you should call.

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON

er and spoke into it, "Madison Square, 2468." With a throb of fear I recognized my own number. I listened, frightened and fascinated, to her side of the telephone conversation. "Hello! Who is this? The maid? I wish to speak to Mr. Graham, if you please." Mrs. Stewart never said "please" without giving the full phrase. My mother had the same mannerism, a reminder of the old-fashioned, formal courtesy which had marked their early training. "What? Mr. Graham not there? Where is he?" What Had Happened? She was plainly worried at the answers Katie was giving to her rapid questions. But her anxiety was nothing to mine. I felt positive terror at her next words. "Went out with a man? What man? How long has he been gone? Not five minutes? All right, when he comes in have him call Prospect 719, if you plesse. Gocd-by." She hung up the receiver aftd turned to me, anxiety written on her face. "Do you suppose he is with Jack?" I asked, my voice trembling with terror.

"I am afraid so," she answered.

"But there is nothing to be done now but wait." I have spent many unhappy hours m my life, but never have I experienced the utter misery and terror that swept over me when I-realized The full import of Mrs. Stewart's words. She drew her chair nearer to the fire and sat down. But I could not remain still. I sprang to my feet and

began to pace up and down the room. Mrs. Stewart is a very wise woman. Instead of offering any protest, the looked at me with grim approval. "That's right." she said. "I don't

know anything that's better for taking

the edge off of things than walking up

and down. I wish I had a dollar for every mile 1 have traveled up and down my room when I have been worried." I did not answer her. 1 Lit as if I were walking through red-hot flames. Nothing else mattered to me but the answer to this question: "What had happened when my husband and my brother-cousin met each other for the first time?" I did not realize that Mrs. Stewart's suspense was also intense until the telephone tell rang. The quickness with which she moved from her chair to the instrument, the nervousness of her hands, the tremor of her voice as she answered the call, all Ehowed that she. too, had been under a strain. "Hello!" she said. "Who is this? Oh. it is ycu. Jack Bickett? What's the matter?" His answer was evidently reassur

ing, for she exclaimed quickly, "Wait a minute," and turned to where I stood with parted lips and terrorstricken face. "Everything Is all right," she said, and turned back to the telephone. "Of course you're coming to say good-by to me," she went On. "What do I care how late you are? I'll stay up for you. How soon will he be here? Half an hour? Well, telephone in an hour and a half. Yes; I'll call her."

THE VIGIL. THAT MADGE KEPT WITH MRS. STEWART I did not answer Mrs. Stewart. 1 felt as if things had been taken out of my hands. My terror at the possibilities of a meeting between my husband and Jack Bickett had robbed me of initiative, almost of sanity. "Of course, after that speech of his. you can't very well telephone him first," said Mrs. Stewart, reflectively. "But we must figure out some way so that you can go home tonight." She put out her hand hastily and patted my shoulder. "Don't think I am Inhospitable, my dear, but If you are to be reconciled to your husband at all, you ought to get back home as quickly as possible."

"I know," I said wearily. "But, oh. Mrs. Stewart, I don't know what will happen when Jack and Dicky meet!" "What are you talking about?" Her tone was sharp, imperative. "Jack and Dicky meet? Where?" "Where Is He?" "Jack said he was going to find Dicky and send him after me," I replied dully. "Now the Tord have mercy on us!" she exclaimed, vehemently. ' Did you tell Jack Bickett that you had left your ' husband?" "He guessed It at once and made me admit it." I confessed miserably. "For stirring up a devU'cs mess, commend me to a perfectly good woman with a Puritan conscience:" commented Mrs. Stewart caustically; then she walked to the telephone. "What are you going to no?" I gasped breathlessly. "Unrio crmp of th1 Binrl vou'vo rot

yourself into if 1 can," she returned. "Now I'm going to tell some pretty strong fibs, so if your conscience Is going to trouble you, you'd better go downstairs while I telephone." "Oh, I can't leave this room," I cried, alarmed. "All right, sit still, but don't you dare open your mouth, no matter what you hear me say." She took down the telephone recelv-
