Dear Mrs. Thompson: What will reduce

to reduce 1t? Would 1t help to wear a
high collar? Annie.

harmful You cannot reduce the size OF
the neck very much, but you can make
it white and smoother by nlassaging with
cold cream morning and night. Any of
the benZoin lotions on the market will be
good to apply, after washing. Take deep
breathing exercises and learn to stand
with your chest thrown out and your
stomach in. After washing the neck with
warm water. dash cold water on 1t. This
will make the flesh firm and healthy in
tone.

of sandwiches--meat. salad and sweet;

Dear Mrs. Thompson am II years
old but have been married nearly two
months. My husband isn't 20 yet. We
eloped and were married secretly and
when our parents found it out they
We're very angry and wouldn't let US
come to either of their homes. My hus-
he has never had to work, so he cannot
support me.
We have been living with my hus-
bands aunt since we were married, but
don't feel that we ought to do SO any
longer, though she is very kind to us.
My parents say i can come home If I
will give up my Husband. I can't do
this because ] love him so dearly.
Do you think that if went to daddy
and begged him to take lis both home
and give my husband start in some
business, it would do any good? Dad
q y is a very stubborn man and doesn' t
like my husband very WELL
Please advise me what to do, for
I have no one else to ask. Is S12 a week
enough to support a family of three
MRS. HELEN.
Another case of foolish children and
hard hearted parents. Faults are on
both sides, but now that the two are
married, it does seem as If the old
folks might relent and at least help
the young couple to help themselves.
But I will tell you one thing, dear
little BRIDE. wouldn't stick for one
minute to an able-bodied husband who
couldn't support me. That is what he
undertook to do when he married you.
Because his father is rich is no reason
why he shouldn't work to support his
wife. and he isn't worth a snap of your
pretty finger If he isn't willing to do
any kind of labor, even digging
bitches to give you some kind of a
home independent Of either his or your
relatives.
I know you think you can't live
without him now, my dear, but you
won't be much older when you will
despise him IL he doesn't act like man.
Ask your father to take you back,
enough to support you. II daddy will
give him a lift, we'll and good. If not
the boy must hustle for himself 1t
will do him goodl
Three people would have a hard time
living on $12 week especially IL not
accustomed to strict economy.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: ~ am terribly
In love with q young lady who goes to the
same church I do. She is 20 and am %
She has advantages over me in education

all the boys with politeness, one as much
as the other. She is not the least BIT
proud and dresses and acts quietly. Would
it be right to make advances toward one
who is superior in all ways? II so, would
1t be right to ask her to share my poverty
and obscure social standing and ignor.
