N2S kLIZABETH TLeHQSON

Dear Mrs Thompson: % My life
has been nothing but a dread and
misery since l lost my darling baby
boy five weeks ago. 1 am young
only 20 years old. My husband doesn't
seem to understand, and he is cross to
me and that makes things harder to
bear. l know you cannot do much to
reconcile me, but 1 thought you could
tell me something to do or read to
make the time seem shorter.
90 Do you think man should
love his mother better than his wife
and put her first in every respect?
go My husband scatters his cloth
things around and then scolds me for
not keeping house better. Do you
think he is right?
A BROKEN-HEARTED WOMAN.
% You are not the only woman
whose husband has been unable to
comfort her in her grief or to give
her the sympathy she so much needs.
A mans mind is occupied with a
thousand things during the day-his
work keeps him busy and he scarcely
gives the thing a thought that is
breaking his wifes heart. A woman,
alone as she is all day long, has little
to occupy her mind but her grief.
Reading will give you very little
comfort. You must get out and
mingle with people. 1t would prob
ably help you to join the ladies' So
ciety at some church, because then
you would have a chance to make
new friends and could work at things
that would not recall your lost baby
to your mind. Invite the girls you
used to know before you were mar
ried to come and spend the day with
you and go to see them The worst
thing you can do is to be alone and
brood over your loss Put away
babys things, because the sight of
them will only intensity your grief,
and grief is not healthy condition.
Your suffering cannot bring the little
fellow back or help matters, and so
try to lay aside your sorrow and look
to the brighter things that the future
holds for you.
CD A mans wife should come
first, but his mother should receive
all the love and consideration he can
give her. Try to be glad that your
husband is so thoughtful of his
mother and don't let him see that
you are jealous of his attention to
her.
(3) Your husband should want to
make your work easier by picking up
his own things, but since he does not
you would be happier If you picked
up the things and avoided his scold-
ing.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: u | am a
girl OF IA and have never had any boy
friends, but 1 have gone buggy riding
with boys. Is it all right?
CD Is it proper to so with your
cousin, and should cousins marry?
CD Should | let boy friends go
with me without letting my mother
know 1t?
"a Am l old enough to go to
dances?
t5) What should a boy do the first
night he goes with girl?
t6} Is il proper to go buggy riding
with someone you do not know?
90 Should two couples ride In the
same buggy?

, of the year tomorrow night in the town clerks office. The republicans are anxious to be victorious in state and national as well as local cam paigns. No little concern is shown in the proposed contest for senator from this district between Dwight Rogers of Southington and A. H. Condell. Sentiment in this town seems to be equally divided.
 The main interest locally is the choice for the next representative from the town. Many are, in favor. of returning Dr. R. M. Griswold, who. they claim, has made very good rec ord Dr. Griswo1d proved himself capable representative and the confi- dence of his colleagues was shown when he was chosen chairman of the committee on public health.
 Other names are being discussed, one being Francis Deming, treasurer of the Berlin Savings bank. His ln- timate friends have talked among themselves and will ask him to an- nounce soon whether he; is in an ac-' ceptable mood. They point to his rec-' ord as a worker for the best inter ests of the town and feel he would make an ideal man for the position. Other names heard about town are Colonel Charles M. Jarvis and ex-Rep- resentative Claude w. Stevens.
 The democrats are also interested in the political situation and will make a strong endeavor to win at the com ing elections. John A. Moore, chair man of the town committee, said this morning his committee would meet soon and select the mem bers of the party for places on the ticket It is expected the ball will soon be rolling and will not stop until the presiden- tial election this fall. The last, time the democrats held the representative ship was when they elected the late Nelson F. Taylor and members of the party say conditions are prOpitious for their return to power.
