Oil have been married
for three years, and my hus-
band Is a hard working man,
and tries his best to support
me. But one thing worries
me a great deal. He likes to
spend his spare time with
any friend of ours, rather
than at home. We have the
sweetest baby in all the
world, and he often acknowl-
edges that our home is more
attractive and cheerful, yet
he feels lonesome, 1t seems.
/ have begged him with kind
ness, with anger, and begged
him for the baby's sake, yet
nothing helps. | have his
friends over as often as he
wishes for dinner and many
times tell him to go with a
friend to a show, while l am
home with the baby. | try
to make myself and home as
attractive as possible, but get
tired of doing SO when he
never gives me a word of en-
couragement. | can't always
be smiling When he comes
home after leaving me for
the whole evening alone,
which happens so often, and
he thinks l am a crouch and
doesn't realize 1t is his own
doing. l fear 1t won't take
long before l will get very
Indifferent about him.
Please, Miss Grey, tell me
what to do, as l want my
husband to be more inter-
ested in his wife and baby
than every Tom, Dick and
Harry. | fear so that the
baby shouldn't grow up and
copy his dads ways.

Dear Miss Grey: Here is
something which may be of
some help to the mothers of
little tots. When washing
the little wooden shirts, IL
they are rolled up in a bath
towel or a heavy cloth and
allowed to remain for sew
eral hours, then ironed with
a moderately hot iron, they
will be as soft and nice as
new. Just before ironing
them, take them in the
hands and pull and stretch
them firmly both lengthwise
and crosswise and special
care should be taken to
stretch the armholes and
seams and continue stretch
ing while you iron them. II
the shirts have shrunk and
are stiff, IL they are treat
ed in this manner for a few
times the results will be
surprising. OF course the
usual care as to the method
of washing flannels should
be given them. A friend
told me this and | tried IL
with such success that | de-
cided to pass 1t on.

Pension.

Pension Is among the numerous
cases OF words of Latin origin spe-
c1alized to near something which the
original did not mean to the Romans.
Pension" signifies simply a payment
I'm the broadcast sense, and we are at
liberty to draw the sound moral that a
pension is not really something thrown
I'm as a gratuity, but deferred pay.
The word for a soldiers pay was
''stipendium." and here we have an:
other curious shift OF meaning. No.
body speaks OF a soldiers stipend"
now. 1t is a magistrate or a clergy
man whose pay receives that name
The ''stipendium" was paid in Jumps
three or four times a year. and the
word came to be used to mean a years
term Of service. -l-ondon Chronicle.
