My NeighbOrSGys

The danger of sleeping in a damp bed lies not so much in the dampness of the air os in the dampness of the conducting-that is, it should prevent the escape of natural bodily heat. Damp clothing loses this property, hence the body loses it's natural warmth, experiences a chill and H. ness may result. It is, therefore, conceivable that no harm would en- sue if the mattress alone were wet and the cover, sheets, blankets, etc., were dry. The body requires heat and a covering that will retain heat. In short, damp clothes are good con- ductors of heat, while dry clothes are insulators. The degree of heat maintained depends on the insulating value of the coverings.
 To restore velvet, let one person hold the velvet tightly while another passes a warm flatiron over the wrong side. Then brush the pile slightly with soft brush. Also when any portion of a velvet gown is crushed from pressure, hold the part over a basin of hot water, lin- ing side next to the water. The pile will soon be restored.

Dear Dorothy Dix: I am a man 25 years old. When I was 20 married a girl of IS. We were happy for while, but then things began to go wrong, and we quarrelled until thought I couldn't stand it any longer. A little girl was born, and stuck it out for time. Then I left.
 worried about the baby until had nervous breakdown, and my doctor told me that I would go insane unless could put what was troubling me out of my mind. So sent all of my baby's pictures back to my wife, and have not seen either one since. Do you think that I should try to see the baby when it upsets me so?

Once upon a time lived in a college town, and on the occasion of the com mencement ball I met a youth of my acquaintance sitting on the campus wall in the dark. "Why are you here instead of inside dancingY I asked. Well" he responded, T have taken my degree and am leaving, and I am sloshing over with sentiment and re- grets about parting from my dear alma mater and all that. There is a girl in there that I will propose to just as sure as dance with her and we take a stroll in the moonlight, and I am not going to be ready to marry for four or five years, so am taking no chances on myself"

Answer:
 "Frien d s h ip

with all; en-
 tangling alliance with none," is the only motto for a boy in college. Wait until you are ready to marry before you tie up with any girl. Then you can pick out the sort of wife you want, instead of having to marry a girl you have outgrown. There will always be plenty of at tractive women. Don't worry about the supply giving out before you are ready to make your choice for keeps.

 If you asve your baby as devotedly as you seem to, why can you not, for her sake, become reconciled to your wife? You were two children when you were married and you quarreled as foolishly as children do. Now you are grown. You have had hard and bitter lesson. Why can you not make up, kiss and forgive, and enter into mar riage seriously and soberly, and make a success of it?

 I should say that she was Foxy Fanny, Sam, and that she wanted to have her cake and eat it, too. She wants to have the perquisites of wife, without any of it's drawbacks. She wants to have a mans love-making, his attentions and devotion and his money, without having to give anything in re- turn. Pretty selfish.

 Dear Dorothy Dix: What do you think of a girl who will accept expen- sive gifts from man; help him spend all he makes; who wants to monopo- lize all his spare time, but who will not consider marriage when I talk to her about it, although she is always say ing something about "our future" that seems to indicate that she intends to marry me eventually?

The common belief among men is that every woman is dying to . get married. Every woman is dy- ing to have some man in love with her some man who wants to marry her, and whom she can Haunt be- fore her friends faces, and show them that she could step off any day she desired to; some man who will take her about, and give her a good time. But as for actually getting married, that's another story, and plenty of women dread the wedding day, instead of look ing forward to it.
 You see, women are pretty wise these days. The unmarried wo- man, and especially the one who has got good job, looks around at her sisters who have taken the fatal step, and what they have got doesn't look very good to her.
