The shoulders are particularly i'm

gowns are SO very, very filmy on top

do not know which are the ugliest,
shoulders so fat that rolls of flesh
hang about them, or shoulders so thin
that the skin fairly clings to the bones.
Whatever may be the trouble, exercise
will help to remedy it, since exercise
is a general corrective. If you are too
fat, you can always reduce; and If
you are too thin, you can do every
thing possible to build yourself up.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
Young married woman of 20. and have
been married three months. During
that time I have had a, great deal
of trouble. which, think might have
been avcrted
My husband, who was good to me
in our home. persisted in telling me
about his debts which came up after
we were married, and which were
contracted before. He lied to me
about all of them, blaming it first on
his brother then on his father. who
had moved out of town; but when Gu
riosity prompted me to investigate, |
found what he said to be untrue. 1t
was then that l told him l couldn't
stand it,. as / had given him several
chances. and unless he told the truth
| would have to leave, as l was not
used to being lied to and deceived.
He replied, "All right" He made no
further protest and I went home.
Then he sold what furniture was paid
for and went away, without any fur

giving me his address, if ! cared to
write. What shall | do? At times
feel brokenhearted. The disappoint-
ment has been terrible. I cannot
think he doesn't care, for he did so
many little things and took such an
interest in our home while we were
together. But his work was poor and
things did not seem to go right. There
seemed to be a lack of harmony and
now our home is ell broken up, feel
in my own heart that he regrets it.
and now from what he has told
others that he doesn't blame me.
What is your advice to me? Should
| answer and if l do, what should |
say? LOIS.
Yes, write a letter to your husband.
and in it talk to the man you love.
and not to the unworthy part of his
nature which broke up your home.
Tell him that you have faith in him.
and that you realize his humiliation
over his debts made him lie. Say that
you are going to think of him as
honorable and starting all over again
in the right way. Do not talk of the
past; that is over now. and the less
said about it the better.
/ believe your letter will do your
husband world of good and that
he will want to correspond with you.
! would advise you to let him, and
10 encourage him as much as you can.
Give him hope that a new home can
be started when it can be built on a
better foundation. His debts should
be paid first. of course.
You certainly have had trouble. |
hope, however, that the future will
hold more of happiness for you. Do
not so back to your husband unless
you find he is really worthy Your
life is too precious a thing to spoil
by living with a man who does not
share your high ideals. Divorce and

Violet was studying hard, and she
was trying to play hard. too. With
such a combination, something had to
suffer-her pleasures or her studies,
or her health. But in some way she
managed to pull through well enough.
She passed the examination and she
told often of the commentator of her
professors.
Il should not go out so much, l

night once. But if l don't go with
Bud when he wants to go out he feels
badly. and if he happens to be in one
