I am trying to persuade her to put cff marrying until he gets on his feet. What can I say to her that will make her use a little common sense in the matter? WORRIED MOTHER ANSWER: When a girl is bent on marrying. nothing you can say to her will stop her. though you talked with the tongue of men and of angels. 1 think the most convincing argument you can present to her will be to take her to see the boy's mother and let her see how old and worn she is trying to support a loafing husband irlio has always been too tired to work.
