Dear Mrs. Thompson: Before the
war kept company with young
man who went to France to fight
later. We were not engaged be-
cause both of US were under 20 and
had just finished high school /
loved him and feel sure he loved
me, because he went with no
other girl and / could tell by his
actions. / must confess that we
kissed each other and / am not
sorry because loved him so much.
He was killed in France. For a time
I was heart broken and then a man
several years old started to pay at
tention to me and / forgot my sor-
row. The older man had a machin,;
and plenty of money and he was
able to do things for me which the
other had not. Because the other
was dead l let myself think l was
in love with the new man and when
he asked me to marry him l con-
scented.
We have been married for over
year and have a dear little baby
girl. l think I would be happy be-
cause my husband is so good to
me, but every night almost l dream
of my old sweetheart. We do
things together just as we used to
and he kisses me. l worry about
this because he seems so close.
DO you think my old sweetheart
really comes to me and that |
should have remained true to him
l never dream about my husband.
dolores.
Your dreams are not significant
Your old sweetheart was deeply
impressed on your mind and now
when you are sleeping your
thoughts turn back to those days
Probably at the time you went with
him he did not come into your
dreams. Place no Importance on
what You dream. In your waking
hours let your thoughts concern
your husband who is good to you
and your little girl.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a girl
IL years old My parents object
to my going any place with boys
and 1 am very unhappy. I don't
ever go to the show unless my sis
ter goes with me. l have had quite
few nice boys ask me for dates.
but I always turn them down. You
know a girl of my age would like
TO enjoy life and so I thought I
would write to you and get your
advice about going with boys.
UNHAPPY SISTER.
When you are is you will be
old enough to go with boys. Many
girls of IT do SO. Since your par
ents object to your going with
them now, however, I would ad-
wise you to wait until you are of
age. 1t seems to me that school
parties would be all right, but
going to the movies is a little diff
ferent. They realize that II they
permitted you to attend movies
with boys they would want you to
go other places and would prob
ably take & great deal of your time.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a
girl of 16. l am engaged to a boy
OF is. My parents do not object
to our marriage. l love this boy
dearly and I know he loves me.
People from all around are always
coming to me and telling untrue
things about my sweetheart, at
least 1 call them untrue. I know
he is not that kind of boy. When
they come to me and tell me l just
let it pass out OF my mind. Then /
tell my fiance about it. He tells me
it is not true. He almost cries

Gives Talk on PeoDjes

Mrs. Frank Mueller gave a very
interesting talk on "Peonies" be-
fore the Tri-City Garden club at its
meeting yesterday afternoon at the
Outing club illustrating with some
IS or more colored lantern slides
made after pictures of individual
blooms and landscape effects with
other perennials, taken in her own
gardens.
Mrs. Mueller in beginning her
talk said she did not speak as an
expert, but rather in the spirit of
desiring to give others the benefit
of her experiences; that while her
love of the poeny had led to their
rather extensive cultivation in her
own garden, where she has 60 va
rieties, she felt there was still much
to be learned in the development
of this one of natures most gorge
Gus blooms.
There was something Of the his
tory of the flower, which goes back,
Mrs. Mueller stated, to the old Gre
clan mythology, and the highly de-
veloped modern type of flowers all
come from and are hybrids of the
albafora type from China and ST.
IBERIA, and from the poeny offician-
ais of Southern Europe.
The special value of the peony
to the lover of beautiful garden
flowers because the plant is abso-
lutely hard and thriyes more or
less responsibility even when cared
for by the amateur, was pointed
out 1T does its cheerful best even
when neglected." said Mrs. Muel-
Ter
Its beauty was dwelt upon; the
fact that it colorfully and gracefully
dominates and combines we'll in
landscape arrangement with other
perennials in borders or clumps;
that its bloom may be extended over
a period of six weeks through care
full arrangement in choosing and
massing of early and late varieties:
the fact it does not have to be di-
vided, is free from disease and
bugs. only ants seeking it 70 rits
sweet juices; its splendid cutting
qualities and in consequence the
joy it gives to the color of bou-
quets; and the satisfying beauty of
its glossy green foliage when out of
bloom and when the tulips and del
phinian and shasta daisy have he
come but pleasant memories. were
called attention to-
There were reference to the tree
poeny, OF which Japan has made
much, but the speaker said this
type is too tender for this latf-
tude, and not much cultivated.
Mrs. P. T. Burrows, the presi-
dent, introduced the speaker of the
afternoon and so much interest was
inspired through the many helpful
suggestions Mrs. Mueller made re.
gardlng peony cultivation. there
were many follow-up questions.
There was discussion of revision
OF the bylaws during the business
session

Things Worth knowing.

To Wash Flannels-Use blood heat
water to rub them in, cold water to
rinse in, and fannels will never
shrink
Table salt is fine for removing
tea stains from chinaware.
In making comforts always put
betting in oven or over register to
heat through; it will almost double
in bulk and make more fluffy
comfort when tied.
Handy Pad for Baby Buggy -
Take large bath towel, fold once
and stick insides together, making
a square bag or slip. Crochet any
simple stitch all around with heavy
cotton and put on a pink or blue
picot edge.
Take a square piece of rubber
sheeting, braid with bias tape, slip
it into the case, and you have a
serviceable as we'll as nice looking
pad for baby's buggy.
