Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of IT and married. I am good-1ook- ing and have a beautiful home. also have a. maid and everything. My husband is rich and so I am pretty we'll off. I have been married for all most a year and never quarreled until another young man took an interest in me. While eating supper the other day he called and asked for me. My husband thought it was for him and the trouble began.
 My huband came to me and told me and I laughed and he slapped me. When he slapped me I went right up- stairs and packed all my clothes and the maid brought them down while l was dressing. My husband took them all back in his room and locked them up his his closet I also told the maid to call for a taxi and he wouldn't let her. When I came down I was still crying He was in the par1or and when he saw me going he ran and said he didn't mean anything. He said he was very sorry. I wouldn't listen and went.
 I am over at his folks. They are very kind to me. He canes over there about four times a day, ask ing if I will ever come back. He told me he was so sorry and that should go back and love him, but I won't listen.
 Would you advise me to go back? I know he loves me.
 LONESOME.
 By all means go back to your hus- band If he hadn't resented the at tention shown you by the other young man it would have been very strange.

FOOD FOR THE MANUAL WORKER

Will you be so kind as to give the proper diet for a person who labors with his hands?
 Answer-The following would be the right daily allowance of food for Q manual worker:
 Breakfast: Coffee or tea Gone cup of edther) with milk, with or without sugar. Hooverize on the latter; and you will find no sugar at all in your coffee more palatable than little. In tea the most of us need a little sugar. Or instead of these beverages take milk. Also corn bread and butter. Two eggs, or hash, or fresh fish. Ger cal with milk and salt. or a very little of sugar.
 Dinner: Soup. Meat, preferably roasted or brofled beef. mutton or lamb, but not fried meat. Or stews of such meats with the fat removed for those with whom the fat does not agree Of fresh fish in lieu of meat. Potatoes baked, boiled or mashed; and, in addition, one such vegetable as spinach, squash, boiled onions, beets, sweet potatoes. ma.caroni, to- matoes or corn. A glass of milk; pudding or fruit.
 Supper: Tea, coffee. cocoa or milk. Bread and butter, preferably corn bread. Cooked fruits (prunes, apples or rhubarb). A good soup of vege-y tables and stock with body to it; not clear because that has little nourish- ment- Another glass of milk Ca pint and a half in the day).

without a child to support. I am of a quiet disposition and my wife is the opposite. She is good-looktng and a stylish dresser. She has 8 bad tens per, but I never argue with her. l feel as though I should have listened to my sisters and waited and raised family of my own instead of support ing another mans child. Do you think I could divorce her. and on what grounds? She doesn't care much for me and says I like my folks too we'll. She Is a good cook and housekeeper, but somewhat I feel as though I made mistake.
 Could she sue me for a1imony for her child? Should I leave my sis- ters alone. or should I take their ad- yice?7 NOT SATISFIED.
 You have no grounds to sue your wife for divorce, and if you tried she would probably defend her case and secure alimony for herself. The law would not require you to support the child, but you would have to support your wife. since she has not given you a real reason for divorce.
 It doesn not seem to me you are giving your wife a fair chance. It is no wonder she refuses to go to your people, since they are so opposed to her and do everything possible to pre- judfce you. I believe if you spend more time with your wife and respect her opinion above that of your sisters, you will be far happier and will not regret your choice of @ mate. It means so much to have a pretty wife who is a good cook and housekeeper 8nd a stylish dresser. If you try harder I believe you will find you and your wife have many interests in common and can be & very happy couple.

rLoNA WAKES TO HOME"

II1oNA WAKES Io '"HOME''
 The next morning after her res toration to her own home. I1ona awol<e with a start She had been dreaming that she and Stella had been chasing the same gay butter i fly. They were youngsters again, and barefooted. Just as she had reached out her hand to grasp the lovely creature Stella had pushed her roughly, causing her to fall down and cut her head on a sharp stone, and she had then snatched the butterfly triumphantly up in her two hands.
 As she dreamed, Ilona stirred un- easily. Her childhood chum was cruel. Her eyes darted hatred at the vanquished one, as she lay cry ing on the ground. Rubbing her eyes still from poignant realism of the ed about her.
 Her surroundings bewiIdered her at first. Where was she? What was the meaning of this silken splendor? She put out a hand to feel of the rose colored covers. She stared incredu- lously at the embroidered sheets which covered her, then at the softly tinted walls and beautiful hangings In flash she remembered the events of the day before and her sudden change to all this sp1endor. She got up and leaned on one elbow as she lived overagain the events of the past 24 hours, and realized that she was lat home" in her rightfuI surround ings.
 Following this realization came an acute longing for the old life, the awakening in her own tent, the early morning dip in the nearest brook, the splendid roughness of it all. She wanted her hard bed on the floor. her simple blanket as covering. the sound of the gypsies at their morning ablu- tions, the smell of the peat fires. That was life, not this
 Ilona choked down a sob as she lay thinking She laughed to herself as she remembered that she had once longed to be surrounded by luxury. Now she was, and what were her true feelings? They were indescribable to say the least For true morning happiness one must have the smell of the pines and the wide spaces in ones nostrils.
 "I1ona," called a soft voice" Ilona, dear child" and the wonderfully del 1cate new mother poked a smiling face into the room Her negiigee a marvel of layenders and grays, a l

 As you are doing the housework. protect the hands with gloves during all of the work. If it is working in water, wear rubber gloves, as the wa ter will keep the pores open and make the skin dry, which causes the cracking. Sweeping, dusting and all work in caring for fires will roughen the skin and dry out the secretfons, so protect the hands when doing such work by using the canvas gloves that can be 1aundered easily and renewed from any of the five and ten cent stores If the cracks do not heal quickly, rub mutton ta11ovv into them before retiring and protect them over night by wearing large old kid gloves.
 Scrub the hands after work and if this will not remove al1 the soil from the skin, use a punice stone as you would a cake of soap.
