32 earning nine dollars a week, he ought to be will- ing to support you both now that dark days have come upon you. The willingness with which some parents part with their children is little less than criminal. We would not advise you to go out to work, nor would we advise you to put your baby in a nursery. A woman who is wife and mother should demand protection from her hus- band.

When your hus- band gets work you can go back and live with him, ‘‘T am so sick at heart that I can hardly smile; so please, Miss Shirley, to answer this letter! I have been in love for two years, and now I am disconsolate! The young man that I adore has married another. We were engaged for over a year, and I have a hundred of his letters all say- ing that he loves meand speakingin ardent tones © of our marriage. Would you advise me to begin suit for breach of promise? I understand that he has a little money. Hic. Ve? Poor child! Your letter shows that you are in a dreadful state of mind! Can you not see that it was better for the blow to come now? Just think how dreadful it would have been if he had waited until after you were married and then suddenly decided that he loved another! Your suggestion about the ‘‘breach of promise’’ suit is very dis- gusting, and we are loth to believe that you really meant it. The woman who airs her love disappointments in the public courts is sadly lacking in womanly modesty, and to look to money as a recompense for love is to admit that you were never really cognizant of true affection. We advise you to hide your secret and try to overcome your hopeless attachment. There are other young men who are just as worthy, and no doubt the day will come when you can look back upon this sorrow and see thai it was in reality a blessing. “Tam reading ‘My Queen’ every week, and en- joy itimmensely.

Many a good girl has come to grief because of her pretty face, The fost successful business MY QUEEN. women in the world to-day are by no means pretty. We do not think that Marion’s beauty is of the ‘‘fatal’ order. There is too much good sense and wisdom behind it. Nevertheless, it has already been shown that her lovely face has caused her to be annoyed on many occasions. Drunkards We Want All Our Readers to-Know How Mrs. Chas. W. Harry Cured Her Husband.
