Greta's young man will never amount to any things. Greta M. All they think about is money. Mrs. L.M. My husband and I are trying to prevent our 20-year-old daughter, Greta, from making a very foolish mistake. A fine young man of 28 wants to marry her. He is handsome, makes an excellent living and comes of one of the nicest fam ilies in our community. His par ents are crazy about Greta and are just as eager for this mar riage as we are. Instead, Greta wants to marry a boy of 21, who is really no where and has nothing to offer her. He has never worked stead ily at anything. He talks of go ing to college, but we don't see him making any move to sup port himself through his school ing. He is shy, awkward and childish and doesn't look as though he'll ever amount to any thing. Grela M. All my parents think about is money. They mar ried my sister off to a wealthy man and she is very unhappy in her marriage. She told me not to let them do the same thing to me. She says I should stick to my guns. I would be much better off marrying a poor boy I really love. My parents spoiled my sister and me by always giving us everything and teaching us to expect to always have "the best." But I am not afraid of hard work. Many girls help their husbands through college these days and I would like to do the same. The boy I want to marrv is really very brilliant and talent ed and l know he will amount to something someday. Then my parents will see how wrong they were.

For one thing, her belief that her parents are trying to foist a "money marriage" off on her has caused her to turn in the opposite direction and romantic-! ize poverty. She is now eager to meet the challenge of "hard work" but she may not find it very glamorous to support a hus band through four long years of college. She does not appear to be facing very realistically the! possibility of additions to the i family. I For another thing, Greta ap-! pears much too anxious to prove something to her parents by this marriage. She insists that her younng man is brilliant and talented, but what if he turns out to fall somewhat short of her expecations? What if he doesn't "amount to something"? Will she love him? Will she know how to make her marriage succeed if she can't prove to her parents how wrong they were? These parents should stop try-1 ing to pressure Greta into marry-1 ing a man she doesn't want, j They should try to understand her attitudes and to make their own way more clear. If money is not the standard by which they evaluate prospective hus bands, they should let Greta know what they do value. They should show that they have an open mind about all her friends and are willing to see and ap preciate good qualities in men who are not particularly well off. (COPYRIGHT 1957.
