requested and hope you will publish IN
same Would like to ask you no"
best way to slip and reset the pegohi
slip, and what, if any, special care
necessary. Also, how to win BACK Tn
love of one who is gradually driftin
from YOU (husband). Have tried /
every way to do my part. 1t what wa
have 1 failed? Please make sugges
ton. Thanking you in advance as Dc
fore,
LONEITA, Utah.
You are welcome to the song, Lionel
ia, and in turn thank you for the on
you sent me. % The florist tells ne U
| take the begonia slip and put IL
water until little roots come on 1t, thel
plant it and take care of 1t just I'M
same as anything else. (2) Your othe
question is not so easy to answer, dear
especially as 1 know nothing OF th'
circumstances. 1 am going to ask yol
| to write me a letter telling me some
| thing more about your seeming trouble
| and 1 can then give you a personal re-
ply If you wish. There is way to re-
store the harmony in your home an
sure but not knowing more than YOU

from me, would be like the blind at
tempting to lead the blind. Please will
you let me hear from you?
To IRENE, Fillmore, Ut.-Through
the kindness of contributor I am en-
abled to print your song:
A LITTLE BOY IN BLUE
A mother sits in sadness
Thinking of her only son
AS she looks up, at two pictures on the
wall.
They're all that's left to cheer her
And she says Thy will be done"
AS she mourns for him
Who's gone beyond recall.
One shows him as little boy
In soldiers clothes at play
With his army lying scattered on tho
The other in a uniform
The day he marched away,
When he said good bye
Alas! forevermere.
Chorus:
Is it strange when the band starts
playing
That her eyes fill up with tears,
AS the soldiers pass her window
And the street rings out with cheers?
And it seems it can't be true.
AS she looks up at the pictures of her
little boy in blue.
The war that took him from her has
been over many years.
And the troops that pass are only on
parade;
But as she watches them go by
She's thinking through her tears,
Of her own boy marching
While the music played.
The pictures hanging en- the wall
They seem-r to blend in one,
And she seems to hear a voice IT miss
ysu, too"
That's why she's heavy hearted,
Cor when all is said and done,
lie was only just her little Boy in Blue.
Dear Miss Brooks:
