LIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am go
ing to be married in a month and
would like to get my hope chest
ready. Please tell me what to get
l am only working girl and can
not afford to get very much.
Should the bridegroom furnish
the brides wedding gown when she
can't afford it? SPRING SONG
Articles for the linen chest should
be suitable to your future mode or
living, and there is no standard
rule governing these things; indeed
few girls are able to furnish all
the linens before marriage. The
following will give you good sup
ply:
Six sheets, six pillowcases, two
counterpanes and comforter for
each bed, two dozen buck towels.
six Turkish towels, one dozen
washcloths, two table cloths and
one or two luncheon cloths, two
dozen napkins, one dozen tea
towels and some bureau covers. The
cost of such an outfit depends en-
tireIy on the quality and how wise
ly you know how to buy, but it al
ways pays TO get a good quality.
You also should be able to supply
clothing for several months. The
bridegroom never buys the wedding
dress. 1t would be far better to
wear something very simple and
provide it yourself If you cannot
afford to buy both household and
ter buy a simple but appropriate
all 90 Oh "a
fiance buy what is necessary for
the house aftec you are married.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am in
love with young man who has
always been a gentleman to me,
but who has a bad reputation. He
plays pool and drinks and in the
past he has gone with girls who are
not respected. l know he is in love
with me and for my sake he tries
to overcome his bad habits. But
sometime when his friends come
after him he goes with them and
does things which he promises me
he will not do.
He wants to be married this year,
but my mother wants me to wait I
year. She does not like him and
she thinks I will not be happy after
l am married.
l can't help loving him because he
is so good to me and has such beau
tiful thoughts. l have never known
anyone so full of goodness who does
the things he does
Should l marry him as he wants
me to, or should l wait as my moth
er wishes? l want to marry him,
but. l would rather wait until he
proves to me that he will stop
drinking and playing pool.
DOROTHY D.
By all means wait until your
fiance proves to you that he can
give up his bad habits. You will be
miserabIy unhappy if you marry
and he leaves you night after night
to drink and play pool 1t is ever
so much easier to help a man to
reform before marriage than it is
after. He ought to stay away from
drink and pool for a year before
you can have any confidence that he
is worthy of marrying.
Dear Mrs Thompson: am
troubled with a bad taste in my
mouth and I am afraid I have bad
breath. What can l do for this?
G. H.
Indigestion, constipation, and the
general lowering of the vital re
sistance of the body are indicated
by a bad taste in the month. This

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am A
married woman q years old and
my husband is IS. We have been
married three years and part of that
time l have been very happy, but
part OF the time I have suffered
terribly because my husband has
not been true to me. l really think
he loves me, because he comes back
to me after he has grown tired Of
other women and he is so good and
wonderful to me until some new
person infatuates him.
For several months he had been
just as good to me as any one could
be, but now he is off again and
scarcely stays at home at all. He
is cross to me and nothing I do
suits him. He is also drinking
more than he should.
1 am so unhappy, but 1 don't
know what to do. I love my hus-
band with my whole heart and I
don't want to leave him. but my IA
Their thinks 1 should. He wants me
to pack my things and go home.
Would you advise me to do this,
or would you advise me to stand by
my husband and take care of him
even when he drinks and is IN
true to me? ELIZABETH.
I would advise you to go home
to your father for while. Your
husband may need something to
awaken a realization Of his love for
you. You can gain nothing by
staying at home and telling him
the right thing to do, but you might
gain much by giving him a taste of
life without you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am
girl Is years cid and I am in love
with young fellow. My heart is
broken. l went out with him four
times. He kept every date except
one. I waited for him, but he did
not show up and so l went for a
walk and met one of his boy friends
and he told me he had seen him
and he said he was not coming
down.
1 have seen him once since and
he spoke. l can't understand why
he disappointed me. Please advise
me what to do, for love him dear
ly. HEART-BROkEN.
I am sorry not to be able to ad-
wise you in a way to bring happi-
ness and to win back the regard of
the young man, but that is impos-
sible. Your only course is to try
to forget him. The sooner you
make up your mind that he has
dropped you and that there is no
benefit in suffering from a broken
heart, the better it will be for you.
If you take the right attitude you
can put him out of your mind and in
a short time will find yourself in
terested in some one else
BABY OF THE FAMILY: Do not
marry the man you do not love. Il
would be far better to leave home
when you are of age and live with
your sister. You can work and sup
port yourself until the young man
you do love is in position to marry
you. 1 would not advise you 10
marry now, however, since he is so
young and unprepared financially.

A Few Hints About Table Knives.
To fix a loose handle, fill the
drilled hole with melted rosin, heat
the tang and press into position.
Do not attempt this treatment with
celIuloid handles, as they are high
ly infiammable.
If the tip of the knife blade has
worn thin, or has become crumpled
by careless cleaning in knife ma
chine, file away the damaged part
and round off the corners. Some
times the tip can be cut away with
shears.
Discolored bone handles can be
made TO look like new if rubbed
with fine glass paper and then pol
ished with velvet.
Pearl-handled tea knives should
be cleaned with salt and then pol
ished with velvet
To sharpen a very blunt knife,
place it fat on new sheet of fine
emery paper and draw it back
wards, repeating the operation 20
times. Keep the blade fat all the
while and treat each face of the
blade in turn. Afterwards, run the
knife, in the same way, up and
down a razor strop.

To Renovate Ceiling best
interior decorators are using

there is quite a variety. though l
think the cream is in best taste;
mix with water according to di-
rections and apply over the old pa
per or the bare ceiling II used
