LITTLE THROBS
I H A I FL N D
SYMPATHETIC
R E S P o N S E
BY Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: ! am 40 years
old and have been married IL years.
! was very pretty girl and was en-
gagged several times, but for some rea-
son or other broke my engagements.
l went with one boy for about six
years. l never thought of marrying
him because I did not love him. But
when I was 2s 1 began to feel old and
l decided 1t was the best thing.
My husband loved me and he knew
did not love him. He was always kind.
but he grew very bitter and silent and
did not like to mix with other people.
When my little girl was five years old
he failedfn business and was very sick.
/ thought he was going to die and at
that time l discovered that 1 loved
him. l have often told him so since.
but he will not beheve me.
My life is very unhappy because my
husband has grown so moody. / think
the atmosphere is bad for my little
girl. What would you advise me to
do to prove to my husband that I do
love him?
UNHAPPY WIFE.
Boise. Ida.
Kind treatment and consideration
will convince him more than words. He
will probably not be responsive at first
but as time goes on think he will see
that you love him and. will be a happier
man than he has ever been.
Do not interfere with his moods
When he wants to be irritable and
morose let him be. Simply do your
part by making his home comfortable
and considering him in little silent
ways which you know will please him
such as cooking the things he espe-
cially likes and keeping his clothes
neat and mended.
When he tries to enter into the spirit
Of the home be responsive-laugh at
his Jokes-he will like it.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 16 years
old and am going with boy II. We
both go to the same school. My moth
er doesn't care, but his mother scolds
awfully. She says he shouldn't go with
me because he Is too young. Don't
you think boy of that age ought to
be let alone to do what he wants to?
We used to go to shows together and
he brought me candy. but he can't
even take me to show any more be-
cause his father Is influenced by his
mother and he doesn't give him one
cent to spend. Would you advise us
to go together anyway?
DoTTY DIMPLE.
Payette, Ida.
Both of You are too young to GO
together. His parents are right. Work
hard at school and forget each other
for year or two.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am a ste
nographer % years old and / have de-
cided that l want to take up touch
typewriting, but my friends say that
after writing with two fingers for the
number of years l have / can never
learn. Would you advise me to stick
to my own method of writing? l can
write quite as rapidly, but not nearly
as fast as the other girls.
sTENoG.
Boise, Ida.
l would advise you to take touch
writing. 1t will not be as hard as you
| think. Very often the girls who have
written with two fingers learn to write
touch system very easily because they
expect 1t to be hard and they try
doubly hard. You will find touch writ
Ing much easier on your eyes ant
nerves.

they learning surprising amount and in many ways
they showing willingness and desire to be of some

The letters addressed to Santa Claus and each told
what the writer wanted for Christmas But the unusual
thing that several of these children declared that they
would be content with little this year because the country
is at war.

Don't forget the other little children they all expect

These children had taken the larger viewpoint. They
were fully awake to the world situation and willing
to orego the pleasure of Christmas that other less
fortunate children might be made happy
This spirit of helpfulness is being manifested by chill
