LOUISA'S LETTER

Dear Louisa, I am engaged to a young man who is serving his time in the army. He has another year before he gets out. We do not know whether he will serve the rest of his time in the states or whether he will be sent somewhere else. This year has been very nice because he has not been so far away and could get home every few weeks for a shirt visit. We also wrote to each other several times each week. Now this is what we are trying to decide. Whether to get married during the spring holidays or to wait until I graduate in June. He doesn’t make much money as he is not an officer and it will be much easier for me to get a job as a teacher after I graduate. He

has a good job waiting for him after he gets out of the army and my parents will be very disappointed if I fail to get my diploma. We agreed to write to you and ask what you think about this. We hate to think of him being sent somewhere and not being able to see each other for several months. R.M.-Va Answer; An education which carries a diploma is a very good thing to possess. One never knows what will happen to a husband after marriage and many a woman who has been accustomed to luxuries has been left with a family of small children to support when her husband has been killed or crippled in an accident. It is so -much easier to find well paid iwork when one has a degree. I think, you should wait those few months before you get married. You have waited one year why not last out another few months. One other thing: if your husband is sent to a far country and you follow him, just bear in mind what a private’s pay is.
