L. Unebaugh and Lucille Harris. Mary Hawortlrs Mail Girl, 27, Who Has Never Been In Love, Receives Proposal of Marriage From Man Who Seems Suitable; Should She Accept? DEAR MARY HAWORTH: Sinci coming to thic city I have followet your column with interested skep ti'cism, feeling that people shouh solve their own problems. So imagine me then, taking my owi pen in hand. The simple reason is that 1 need i a i a advice.

1 am 27 years old a un attractive, it seems, as I seldom lack for escorts. But so far as am concerned, the men in niy have been just h.ave never been in love. YOU DQWM 7 LITTLE SON KMOWS ARQUHD MRIBAIRD'X BREAD Now I have met a young man who is very suitable. We have tli same social and back ground and many tastes in com mou. He wants to marry me, but for Although I care more for him than for any other man I have known, I don't, love Desperately Wants Home and Children If accept Mm, I wouldn't be marrying for security, because he can give me nothing that I can't give myself.

I have an interest ing job that offers advancement i 1 choose a career--but 1 don't. I am domestically inclined and desperately want a home and children. If I marry Tom, I suppose could make a happy life for myself, centering my interests in our home. But what about him? 1 feel he loves me; and he is so kind and sincere a 1 couldn't bear to i i unhappiness. However, I can't go on waitin? forever for Prince Charming to sweep me off my feet.

So in your opinion, what are the chances of success for a marriage based on "suitability?" I a i a i that most marriages fail because' love is, literally, blind. Yet I want some of that same love. A. N. Girl's Views Very Confused A A.

There is no. head or ail to your present slate of mind, is a fog, ballooning about the single fact a you have marriage offer from a man you don't love. Indirectly you are asking mo read the future for you and follow hroufih with it verbal push toward or a a from 'marriage to Tom. A preposterously Inrgfl order, i Objectively appraised, argely a i musings don't make sense. But subjectively as- sessed, I suppose they mean you are asking yourself, "Shall I snatch at a straw and hope for the best?" Slant Somewhat Opportunistic In one breath you call Tom "ver suitable." In another, you reflec that you don't love him and tha he can'l give you more securitj than you can provide for your self.

Further you contend that love hlind, a most marriages because of it; then add (hat you can'l, in effect, be content until you too have experienced this.emo tion which you distrust as deceptive and betraying. But from Ihis fog emerges ihe impression a you are oppor tunistically inclined to mari-y Tom, though given pause by the hope that maybe, by waiting, you might do better. In Remarriage Of Convenience I i -it's pious posing to imply that you are sensitively concerned about Tom's happiness, now or later. Love is the desire to give fullness of lifp to another; it is a wholehearted disposition to regard the other fellow's satisfaction and security as being quite as important as one's own--and since you don't love Tom, it's logical to infer Ihat your hesitancy is due primarily to self-concern. Assuming you marry him, it won't be a marriage based on suitability.

It would be an attempted marriage of convenience you; and a marriage of convenience has a chance lo succeed only when iwo adults of mature nind honest traders in deciding hat this arrangement, is their clear-cut, final choice, which glvos solid promise, of providing each vith substantially what he of married life. M. H. Mary Haworlh counsels through icr column, not by mall or per- inierview. Writer i of The Abilene Reporter-News.
