EVERGREENS

To keep evergreens flourish

to see that they get plenty of
water in hot, dry summer
weather and to guard them
against red-Spider attack. This
pest is a very small mite, barely
visible. If 1t is allowed to be-
come numerous on your ever

cause them to lose their charac-
teristic colors and assume a
rusty appearance. Red spider

Homes and Gerdans, by using
one of the following methods:

If used as recommended no
injury will result from any of

By Beatrice Fairfax .

with a cross. I am afraid he
does not love me any more.
UNHAPPY WIFE.
Few men understand women's
need of assurance of love. So
your husband may love you
quite as much as ever and
not realize, stupid man, that
he ought to say so. So if you
have nothing else to complain
of besides the lack of letters I
urge you not to be unhappy.
At the same time it would re-
lieve the fatigue from which
your husband must suffer if he
could secure a change of job
that would permit him to live
at home altogether. And it
would be good for you to have
the companionship and atten-
ton that he would then be
able to give you. Try to bring
this about. 49,. ,..

your mother is still a young
woman. and nothing is more
natural than to enjoy dancing

charges all her family duties is
entitled to harmless recreation.
