father? G. H
TO effect the reconciliation for
which you long would require
tact, diplomacy and very real love. II
you want your father and mother
to come together again because of
a selfish longing to be saved from
responsibility, I am afraid you will
fall. But II you have a real desire
for a reunited home and peace and
love, you can bring It about II there
is one flicker OF affection in the
hearts OF your parents. one for the

stubbornness OF either one. Per-
haps II your father could be made
to feel that your mother was lonely
and longing for him, and your
mother could be made to see that
your father Is living rather a DESC
late and empty life without her,
