suit a reliable doctor about your throat.
You can clean the dress yoke With |
gasoline but be very careful with it.
1t is not safe to use 1t in the house.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: ~ I am a girl
Of ~ and not strong. / don't care for
homework nor shopwork. What kind OF
work could I do. l haven't a very good
education and no opportunity to better it.
() A young man of % loves me, or at
least says he does. He shows by every
action that he cares for me. / don't care
for him any more than I would for any
friend. He is bound that 1 should marry
him in the near future. l hate to tell him
that I don't love him after having de-
ceived him for over two years. What
shall do? Rosie Y.
az You might try office work or sewing.
If there is any one thing you can do par
ticularly we'll make a speciality OF 1t and
try to work up a little business in it. Some
women have made aprons and supported
a family with the money. 20 Are you
quite sure you don't like him we'll enough
to marry him? II you are sure, however,
do not marry him by any means. Tell
him that your feelings have unaccount-
ably changed and you can think of him
now only as a friend.
Dear Mrs. ThompsOn: What will reduce
a thick. feshy neck? 1t is mannish look
ing and homely. Anything tight around
the base hurts it. The muscles or veins
In front are thick. Is salt and water good
to reduce it? Would it help to wear a
high collar? Annie.
A loose high collar will not harm, but
beware of a tight collar. which is very
harmful. You cannot reduce the size OF
the neck very much, but you can make
1t white and smoother by m~assaging with
cold cream morning and night. Amy of
the bcnzoin lotions on the market will be

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 it. This
will make the flesh firm and healthy in
tone.
Dear Mrs. Thompson-I am ii years
old but have been married nearly two
months. My husband isn't 90 yet. We
eloped and We're 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-
bands father is a very rich man, and
he has never had to work. SO he cannot
support me.
We have been living with my hus-
bands aunt since we We're married, but
don't feel that we ought to do so any
longer, though h is very kim to us.
My parents say I can come home il /
win give up my Husband. I can't do

Do YOU think that IL I went to daddy
and begged him to take us both home
and give my husband a start in some
business, it would do any good? Dad
dy is q very stubborn man and doesn't
like my husband very we'll.
Please advise me what to do. for
1 have no one else to ask. Is $12 Il 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 l will tell you one thing, dear
little bride. I wouldn't stick for one
minute to an able-bodied husband who
couldn't upport 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.
know you think o can't live
without him now. my dear. but you
despise him if he doesn't act like man. |
Ask your father to take you back,
alone. until your husband can earn
enough to support you. If daddy. will

Three people would AVE a hard time
living on $12 a week, especially if not
accustomed to strict economy.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: ~ I am terribly |
in love with a young lady who goes to the
same church I do. She is 20 and / am %. |
She has advantages over me in education, |
wealth and social standing. She treats |
all the boys with politeness, one as much
rs 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
It be right to ask her to share my poverty
and obscure social standing and ignor-
ence? I neglected to say that neither of
have no idea what she thinks Of me. ()
is my writing good or poor?
Anxious.
az II you feel that you can always be
a clean, upright, honest man. and not
drag a good woman into the dregs, I see
no reason why you should not make adj
vances to this girl. Let her decide. The
right sort of a girl wants to marry the
right sort Of a man-one who is manly |
rather than wealthy and who can make
her happy even If he hasn't had a college
education. (0 Fairly good.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a young
man earning SITS per month. My board
and lodging cost me on an average of s35
per month, and 1 am unable to save any |
money. 1 have only two bad habits
smoking and chewing tobacco.
/ go out in company a good deal and 1t
costs q good deal of money. as I always
try to keep up a good appearance. l am
