as Rosemary was small and the
hedge high, she did not succeed.
Rosemary had grown up with a
propensity to see the other side of
things, and seeing" had some
times led her into difficulty. 1t was
because she had yearned to know
whether Rob Fulsome could con-
tinue true to herself under allur-
ing Circumstances, that she had in
vited the fascinating Bess Wilder
to visit at her home and be much
in Rob's company. And when lat
er. Bess had departed, il was evil
dent that Rob's affection had failed
to Withstand the tese+for he had
followed to the home of Bess as
often and as soon as opportunity
permitted. Rosemary promptly re-
turning his gifts had fancied for a

any harm result from wearing such

heard Of man wearing a corset?
tXD
Answer-The primary effect Of
lacing or corset wearing is in
crease of intra-abdominal tension
or pressure, which dlmlniShes the
appetite and tends to reduce
weight; but this is only temporary.
The permanent effect is weakening
or atrophy of the abdominal sup
porting muscles, hence decrease of
intra-abdominal tension, and a ten
dency to overeat-to fill the void
and therefore corpulence. About
one per cent of men wear corsets

since | married him and | am
ashamed to be seen down iowa
any more. Most of the children'c
clothes | ha % make over out of
what the neighhors give me. We
have two boys. one three and enc
II months.
What shall I do? Leave him?
And what SHALL I do with the chill
dren?
If it were not for them I should
go at once. He a ways tells ne to
go. as he doesn't care for me, bus
he won't offer any suggestion as

your case to the judge OF the pro-
bate court. Write to him. or. pre-
crably, see him in person. He will
have your case investigated and
will advise you about separation
and means of supporting the chill
dren.
Do not delay in this matter. Your

ment. and for his sake you should
bring about a change as quickly as
possible.
