life.
A husband who bucks" may in
time he conquered and tanned
but WHAT can any woman DO
with a man who just buckles
and lops down after marriage?
There are times when the most
independent girl gets tired OF
free.lancing in the game of hearts
and longs for nice, solid, do
nestle job in which she can relax
her facial muscles and let her hair
go uncurled for while.
Even when a woman gives
critical man "a dose of his own
medicine" she has to camouflage
it with sugar and orange juice to
get him to swallow 1t. .s
r. X
Why does a man always want
to marry a spirited woman just in
order to take the wind out Of her
sails and keep her safely tied to
the dock somewhere?
Here and there you find a wom-
an who has a positive genius for
marriage, but most OF us have
only a sort of amateur talent,
which, like a "parlor voice" has
to be carefully cultivated Just TO
keep us from getting off key.

Husbands are something like
cucumbers; when you find they
persistently disagree with you, the
only thing to do is to leave them
ALONE!

Burma is owned by England,

SO, as it happened, we made
friends with an EngIishrnan and !
asked him the best place near the

go fishing.
He was very polite and offered
to take US himself. And as we
drove out in the American-made
automobile he laughed as he said.

ADANGEROUS
LOVE
BY Beatrice Fairfax
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ am twenty-five. About
eight years ago / met young
mon who became q friend OF my
family.
Later on 1 married a good look
ing man, hut I didn't love him.
Ny husband was very kind to me,
but he couldn't inspire me with the
love for which I lnungered. A year
later the other man told me he
had loved me since the first day
he met me-.
Although / wasn't very loving
to my husband. was faithful
wife. I made my friend promise
not to spoll our frie1fdship and
ruin three lives by speaking 50.
Since then. however, I've beon
everything to that mans sweet
heart, sister and mother. All this
has been a secret. I've been
hypocrite.
Lately he confessed to me that
he's lonely and wants a life COM
panion, but am not the one. He
has asked me to be his good little
mother"
1 felt death pass through my
veins. tcld him he was free.
But my henrt is broken. Is life
worth living when it becomes so
absolutely empty?
JANET.
Life never is worth living, ia
net, until we begin to look at 1t as
a responsibility rather than an
opportunity for self4indulgence.
You haven't been very loyal, have
you. to your marriage vow and
your husband?
From this time on, let your great
ambition be- to- make your hus-
band happy. Keep your home and
yourself attractive and charming
for the husband who has been so
kind.
Forget yourself and the sorrow
you brought on yourself by your
disloyalty. Soon you'll find that
life is richly worth living when
we live it according to principle
and with honor.

that fish was doing, using his

What kind Of a fish is that,
sir?" asked Bobby. r
"A mud-skipper,'' replied the
English1nan.
And at that very moment we
saw why the fish was SO named.
For presently the fish became
tired of climbing, rested his fins
on the tree, as you would rest
your elbows on the table-but
of course not the dining.room

Then it dropped out of the tree
and fell into the mud. And then
right there before our eyes

We were all thunderstruck.
