and a rather vain young lady, and she
} keeps company with other young men
whom I highly approve of, only she is
married. Therefore / think she is do

good times and she expects me TO join
her in her folly when she arrives.

band aud want 20 remain true to him,

you advise nae to do? WORRIED.
Your husband has right to more
consideration than your sister. Fortu-
nateIy. in this ease, the interests of
your husband and your sister are iden-
ticaI Since you see folly in your sis
ter's ways, instead of joining her in
her unfaithfuIness, try TO show her
how she can be a better woman.
You say you cannot settle down.
You must settle down or you cannot
keep the love Of the dearest husband
in the world" or do your duty to your
little girl You are very young to be
married and therefore may find it eX-
tremely difficult TO give up the pleas

you try hard enough.

Household Notes

If bamboo furniture is inclined to crack mix together equal parts of lin- seed oil and turpentine and rub it on the furniture with a soft rag.
 To avoid the expense of rubber gloves, good substitute is made by dipping old gloves into hot linseed oil; this renders them waterproof.
 To prevent press fasteners from crushing in the process of laundering, these should be closed before putting the article through the wringer.
 Always push a new lamp wick through the top of a burner, wet the lighting end in kerosene, turn low and allow it to stand a day before us ing.
 If you are going to be away from home for a few days, leave your pot ted ferns, etc., with water in their saucers, so that they will not dry out.
 "All odors end here," is the in flexible rule of charcoal. If the char coal is made red-hot and then cooled before using, its virtues are increased.
 A delicious salad is made. by fill ing tomatoes with minced pineapple, celery and chopped nuts. Mix with mayonnaise and garnish with green.
 The odor of kerosene lamps can be stopped by putting one teaspOonful of fine table salt into each lamp. The salt should be changed once a month A leather bag can be made to look almost new again by first washing l with a little warm soapy water, then 1 drying and brushing with the white of an egg.
 Potatoes are not so apt to rot if the cellar Is not kept too warm. l Sprinkle air-slaked lime among them and cover them lightly to keep the 1 light away.
 Difficulty is generally experienced in the cutting of new bread, but II the knife is first dipped into not wa ter you can cut the new bread as evenly as the stale.
