husband is 35. When we
were first married he would
take me to dances, etc, but
now he wants me to stay
home all the time. He Is at
work until 8 o'clock and
when he gets home he says
he is too tired to run
around. And he will not let
me go when he does not care
to go.
There is a man whom
was engaged to before was
married who says he still
loves me. When my hus-
band works at the office
late this man calls me up and
asks me every time when
am going to elope with him.
As | am soon to become a

 Through the great cold rooms the light moved dimly, until she entered what had been the buffers pantry in the old regime. Here small stove diffused a half hearted sort of warmth, and a little table and leather chair were drawn close.

 From her worn leather bag she drew a letter she had found awaiting her at the Postoffice. There were few persons using such stationery who still remem- bered to write to her. l Dear Miss Fenway," she read. "are you still alone at the old place?

A healthy feature has been the widen ing activity and strength of some of the leading railroad issues, which have long been neglected. At the moment railroad traffic is still be- low normal, but indications point to an early recovery which, coupled with better rates will probably prove a turning point for the railroads. Divi- dend rumors, both favorable and un- favorable, have been current re- spectlng some of the prominent is-, sues, but the more frequent improve ment in net results has imparted al decidedly better tone in railroad shares and some substantial recov- cries have already taken place.
