o.--Please send me some moth 1
sriy advice. as ! don't know what
10 do. have been engaged 20
boy for four months. The other

10 his cisercdlt. He has been IN /
true TO me. telling me ! was ths |
oniy one he loved, and at the same
time going with disreputable ~or1- /

What shall dor BLUE EYES.
Al take II for granted you |
have absolute proof OF your fian.
ce's deceit. do not believe In |
people on circumstan-
,ial evidence. II all depends upon |
how much you think OF him as 10 |
what you should DO.
II you feel that you can overlook |
and forget his past. and forgive
him should no commit the same |
1ffense again you might be happy /
with him. But man who prac- |
ices such deceit Ia never 10 be /
trusted. and most wives find II an /
Irksome duty to be only one OF |
many In the husbands heart
To "Heartbroken Wife: You /
love your husband. but dislike |
some OF his devilish ways In the
FIRST place. quit hating. az Il hurts |
no one so much as yourself
When possible. 20 out every day |
breathe deeply and think only !
pleasant thoughts about your fam /
Ily, yourself and friends. In the |
evening. II your husband will not |
20 with you. but Is willing TO stay |
home with the children, take one OF
the children along with you for
company and occasionally attend a
lecture or picture show or what
ever pleases you. taking II for
granted that you care only 10 at
tend proper places Avoid men es-
corts as you would the smallpox.
Live true To your better self and
your children.
Make the most Of every little
pleasure and II will gradually de-
velop into a big pleasure Laugh
and talk over the funny parts
with the children whether you feel
Ike II or not. and II will gradually
become a habit For a good laugh |
Ia the best tonic on earth.
When the children are noisy. get
them interested in something. You
might teach them 10 play quiet
game. When hubby will not talk
lot him be silent and don't let him
know IL hurts you. by absorbing
yourself in something that does
not require HIS attention.
Teach your children little quota
lions and explain what they mean.
I will suggest these: you will find
others: Make two smiles grow
whore a crouch once grew" "A
groucher gets nothing but a cold In
his head. keep sweet"
Occasionally ask hubby IN join
you and the children in your fun,
but never urge him. Let him UNI
derstand that you are going to be
happy anyway. Nine times out Of
ten you will win your man. II you
do not, you have created a cheerful
spirit In yourself and your chill
dren.
