Dear Mrs. Thompson-What do you
think of a woman who Is married the
second time and who says now that
she does not care for her present hus.
band, but loves the man she Is divorced
from. Nonsupport. she says, was the
cause of the separation and he says,
according to rumor, that she went with
other men and that the divorce was the
result of this, Not knowing which
statement is true, I'm only mentioning
them. But the present husband is
and treats her like spoiled baby. Not
satisfied with this, however, she now

AS to whether or not the woman is
mice" of course I can't say, but I
will state plainly that she loves only
herself. If husband No. would stop

| In 1900, however, came the end Of
the century and at that time the world
| threw away one day. This confused
things and so for 40 years we have not
had five Sundays in February Owing
| to this skip we will not be abe to re-
sumo the routine number of years until
after 194S This late date is the time
set for our next February with five
Sunday, 1920 excepted, of course. This
