Wonders If Love.
Will Come Later

Dear Miss Leaf:

I.am so tired and discouraged waiting for Love and hop
ing I will find it, that sometimes I feel like giving up altogether. I~m a passably goodlooking girl and twenty-three,

love to have fun and good times, and always try to appear. lighthearted as I do not want anyone to know how I really
feel, but I am miserable all of my waking hours,

During the past few years, my.
parents have used all of their savings because of hard times and we
are just getting along. I work but
they are too old to work. I am interested in a young man who is in
love with me. He is in position to
teke care of all of us~and my parents want me to marry him. They
tl ink I would be very foolish to
le: him go because I do not love
him. I like him as a friend and I
dc not have any other boy friends.

Do you think love will come after
mirriage as my parents seem to
think?:

Betsy

Usually older people believe in
love and advocate that this is
the foundation of ~an enduring
m=orried life. Younger generations
hrve found a~ different. solution.
They ~are not willing to take all
thit love brings and: a number of
couples, definitely in love, separate.

I am giving you the two sides
of it, then you must decide, for
yourself. The girl and boy are. in
Jove with each other; they marry:
ihev have their worries but love is

* uppermost and they bear troubles

together; they quarrel and make
"up and -.are extremely happy, trustin:, loving, living (on air, most of
th> time).

But; if anything or anyone should

come between
either is broken completely and no
matter what the outside appearance)
may be, both will be utterly miserable: for the rest of time. Love
can soar you to the highest heights
and then take you to the other extreme.

man you can respect and you find
that he loves you and you are willing to give yourself in making
happy marriage, there is no reason
for you not to marry him. If
is nice enough to you and can make |

But you must be satisfied with him,

you see, wondering if that ~was the
man for me~:

You will have to lend
thought to the man yeu married
and think only of him and his |
happiness. You should be fair with
him and tell him that you do not |
love him as much as you think you |

should and let him have the final |
say on whether he thinks that is |
enough on which is begin. life with |

him.

~WILL YOU BE MY VALENTINE?

THIS IS FRIENDSHIP

I LOVE you not only for what you
are, but for what I am when I
am~ with ~you.

I~LOVE you, not only for what
you have made of yourself, but
what you are making of me.

I LOVE you for the part ~of me you
bring out.

I LOVE you ior putting your hand
in my heaped-up heart and pass-: _ ever the frivolous and -weak
thinks that you cannot help seeing there, and drawing out into
the light all the beautiful radiant longings that. ro one else
had looked far enough vo find.

XI LOVE you for ignoring the pus-Sibilities of the fool in me and

~ dor laying firm hold on all the
possibilities of good in me.

{ LOVE you for closing your eyes
to the discords in me, and for
adding to the music in me by

_ worshipful listening.

I LOVE YOU because you are
helping me to make of the limbo cf my life, no ta tavern, but

~a temple, and to the words of
_my every day, not a reproach

maught for their pains but grief
and woe, as Robert Burns wrote of

I LOVE you because you have done
more than any creed could have
done to make me happy.

YOU HAVE done it.. without a
touch, without a word,~ without
a_ sign.

YOU HAVE done: it by just being
yourself.

Perhaps that is what being a friend
means after all.

Our youth, our joys, our all: we

And. pays us but with earth and

Who in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wandered all our
ways,
Shuts you the story of our days;
But from this earth, this grave,
this dust,
My God shall raise me up, I trust.

The last time they were War
Gardens. This time they are

| Victory Gardens. Call them what

ever you like, but cooperate with
the U.-S. Department of Agriculture~s campaign to have more home,

comnmunity, and school gardens. in
1942 than this fair land has ever
seen before. The reason for this
upsurge of interest in gardening
are several fold. First of all an
intensive gardening campaign must
be. formated to provide a diet that
will bring the highest degree of
health and efficiency among = all
groups and all classes of people..

Second, an abundant supply of
fresh, home raised vegetables will
do much t6 help meet the problem
of rising~ living costs. You have. no
notion how much it helps. to be
able to provide even a part of the
family~s food supply. And when you
raise enough vegetables to eat and
3 surplus for canning you are really
going places. |

Third, by growing a garden chock
tull of edibles, you release more of
the commniercial stocks of food for
the armed forces and for LeaseLend shipments to the. Allied Nations. Every tiny little particle of
food is impodrtant..right now. Those

people who have available, suitable

land for gardens will be doing a
patriotic duty to put that plot of
earth to work.

If you neea more information-|~

before starting your garden pro
gram, consult your State Extension |
Service. Every state has~ an-exten- |

sion service, the headquarters usually being located at the state uni
versity or land grant college. Write |. |

and ask them anything you want
to know. If you live in a section
that in anyway is agricultural, call
on your County. Agent or Home
Demonstration Agent. __.

After determining if your available land is suitable for a garden
or not, you then go to work to
get it well prepared for receiving
the seeds. About the seeds. themselves, you want to ~consult. your
Extension Service to see Shins varieties have. c

control, care and cul vation.~
Gardening is. a whole fascinating |
hobby in itself with its own pecu-.
