NO REWARD EXPECTED Dear Miss St. John,-- I am a country girl going to school in town. A young married man lives out near us. He goes in to work every day. For the past few weeks he gave me a ride. At Christmas I bought a nice present for him. He refused to accept it and he seemed embarrassed. He said his wife would not under- stand. Now I feel embarrassed about riding with him. What should I do about ? LULU. Answer: Why not forget the Christmas in- cident, Lulu. No doubt the neighbor is satisfied to have company on his way. It does not cost him any more to pick you up. Just now it's patriotic to share one's automobile. No man expects to be paid for obliging a neighbor. Ina St. John. * * * THE FINEST GIFT Dear Miss St. John,-- About two years ago I married an airman. I am very fond of children but he always said he detested little children and hoped we would not have any. He went overseas ten months ago. Now I have a lovely little girl two months old. His letters are nice but not a bit interested in our daugh- ter. Do you think he will love her when he comes home? I could not bear it if he was still indifferent to out GLADYS. Answer: Haven't you noticed Gladys, that course I told him I was married but he still wanted me to write. He says he will never care for anyone but me. I don't see any harm in writing to him as long as he is over there. My husband thinks different. He found out about the letters and he forbade me to write again. Do you think that is reasonable? JANE. Answer: # No young husband who loves his wife is "reasonable" about her other men friends, Jane. After all you did promise to forsake al] others. The man overseas will have a_ better chance of meeting some one to take your place in his heart if you stop corresponding with him. Ina St. John.
