Dear Miss Grey: Please

to putting the Spiritual
things above the physical

Ii President Wilson or any
other high official comes to
her house, I venture to say
that she would not make him
eat and sleep out in the

give him her very best. How
about God? Are we going to
leave our bodies, Gods foot
stools here on earth where
he may put His Spirit, 60 to

Dear Miss Grey: Your an
swer to z. T. Smith was
most excellent and It must
have hit Mr.. Taylor forcibly,
hence the criticism.
From observation. l think
it is most often the home
loving, sympathetic, trust
ing wives that are betrayed
by their husbands.
l claim that IL certain
traits Of character are in
man he will manifest them
and crafty his selfishness
regardless of his wife. A
man that does right is sell
dom nagged by a happy, con-
tented wife.
The worldly woman knows
more what to expect and is
less liable to be a dupe and
the object Of pity among
people.
Women have changed and
are apt to serve husbands
their own medicine, and as a
rule the worst devil bowls the
loudest. MRS. #. B. w.
