Ans: II is very unfortunate that
you were left widow with six lit
tie children to support but I am
happy to tell you there will be
change for you and your children.
Your oldest son will change HIS
ways and will get a Job and go to
work. You two will hold the family
together until other members are
old enough TO work.
w. Il S.-Tell me II this woman
here likes me as I like heri
Ans: No and the least thing
from her mind Is to fall in love
with you. She knows you are a
MARRIED MAN and she has too
much respect for her good name to
consider your proposition. You had
better get her off your mind for
she wouldn't have you IL you were
single.

Ans: The woman that you did
some BEAUTY CULTURE WORK
for did not leave any money for
you under the linoleum in your
home. IL she had meant to pay you
she would have done so when you
did the work for her but now II has
been some time and she still hasn't
paid you so you may as well forget

A. M S.-Does this man am en-.
gagged TO love me as much ms he
says and when Will we marry7
Ans: He cares just as much for
you as he says that he does and the
only thing that keeps him from
marrying you right now is the fact
that he Is not sure he can get along
with your TWO CHILDREN. I see
you both living happily together
however, and the children giving
neither Of you one minutes trouble.
L. M IT, am terribly worried
about something and I want 10

Ans: Yes. can tell you that you
are worrying foolish for thera is
not thing to your worries. There
won't be any BABY BOOTS aronud
your little apartment for long
time and there is no sense in get
ting exc,ted.
ID +. T.-What and who Is re.
sponslble for the trouble i am hay-
Ing with my welli
Ii appears to me that that there
are some very narrow minded peo-
pie living around your home who
are jealous OF you and. they are
putting things in your VOL to try
to get you FIXED They do not
realize that this is an impossibiifss.
and nothing they are dong could
harm you in any way. They now
realize that II is useless and they
won't continue to try II.

GAINS FALL OFF
IN BUILDING TRADE
Contract Awards, However,
Increase Over Same
Period Last Year.

The construction industry not only
failed to record any substantial i'm
provement in 1888, but its moderate
gains this year have fallen short OF
expectations, according to the June
issue of the Index, monthly publica-
tion of the New York Trust Co.
Nevertheless. its prospects have i'm
proved, it Is stated, and while the
present rate of activity is very low.
figures on contract awards for the
first four months of the current year
represent an increase Of more than
100 per cent over the corresponding
period of 1888.
Annual totals for construction con-
tracts awarded, the Index points out,
reached the low figure Of 81 ,255, ,708.-
400 in 1888, as compared with the
peak figure of $6,628 ,286 100 in 1928,
while estimated cost of new buildings
for which permits were issued in 354
cities declined from a peak of $4.393.-
600, 900 in 1925 to 1858. .000.00 in
1893. For the first four months of
this year construction awards totaled
S592. 900 .000 in the first four months

house, located in Bellingham, Wash,
was transformed from a dismal, out

The exaggerated caves and the

was taken off, thus uncoverlng all the

The front wall of the house was

wide window toward the south for

trellis marks the small open porch.
Matching shutters with shutter dogs
