All Nibbler has to do is to keep out

Danny made themselves at home and

He knew all about the ways of Rob

There was plenty to eat without the

And before Danny could whisper

the wretched maiden who's been
given the air by her best beloved is
too hard-hearted to live. And the
second most sorry sight is the girl
who has had to give her man up be
cause of some grave fault which he
wont try to overcome -and which
would wreck any life they might have
together.
If we're decent pals, and we learn
that our friend Frances has just
taken a beating from life i'll one of
the above forms, we get in touch
with her Immediately. We pat her
on the shoulder and urge her to buck

see she has good time.
We plan parties for her-remind

fixed 1t up for her TO meet a stunning

shown just the sort OF low-life he is
Frances. knowing him as she now
does, must cherish no illusions about
him. SO we reflect.
Bill likes Frances the minute he
meets her. We can see that. We
rejoice. He sets himself out to be
nice to her. He fiatters her-listenS
respectfully to her every word-com-

Frances answeres him pleasantly

spirits.
We beam at ourselves approvingly.
Here we are patching up our friend :

We think we're pretty darn good
hearted-we do.
Bill takes Frances phone number.

He is "a good spender, likes to have

is in every way different from the

his fits of blues

When you want u child 10 do d

Each occasion has its food ritual, Its
artistic and final touch. which must
be observed if the occasion is to be a
success.
When the children are tiny their
food is meticulously regulated. The
formula is sacred. But when they
begin to go about the world less and
less attention is paid their meals until

Der sums up to 10. you add the 1 and

A birth number which is l denotes.

bearer should associate himself with
others in most enterprises. He is
more likely to achieve success in con-
nection with others than by playing a
lone hand.
Another question which often comes
up deals with the name number 2.
You see, there are two kinds of .twos
One is the ordinary 2, which is the
number of diplomacy and indicates
that it's holder will succeed by clever
ness rather than force. This, too. is

plus equals 2. The other type Of .
