noNT marry a man you do

mother would not wish a loveless
marriage for you. Wait for a
year or two for your Tom.
Give him a chance to make good.
Meantime obey your mother by
not becoming engaged to him.
Just remain good friends.
Since you love each other and
are young, both can afford to
wait. Two years waiting would
give your friend a chance to
make good and win your parents

requirements of that particular

method, a method that will as

For instance, If you are at a tea
and small, slim sandwiches are
served, it is easy to eat them in
your fingers. If the sandwich is,
say, a Swiss cheese or any other
kind Of cheese sandwich, a to-
mato sandwich, a jam sandwich,
and 1t is served on a plate at
table, fork Isl usually all that
is necessary. to use. But when
a sandwich stops being of normal
and friendly size, and becomes
or has a tendency to become a
! super-sandwich-a club sandwich,
a salad sandwich, and the sand
witches that you mention-it is
sensible and convenient to use a
knife and fork.
Don't take UP tine sandwich with

to eat a sandwich is a very i'm
