highest wholesale prices in six years

dition aggravated by prolonged cold

been coming from Argentina, Latvia,
Holland, Esthonia, Siberia, Cuba and
New Zealand, was actually running
ahead of the 1885 trade, most Of
which was done in the latter part OF
February and in March. Last year

one must pose ones bonnet. AS
long, that is, as it doesn't sit

your head. They give you an
idea of the feminine frivolity that
will top the most mannish of

two from a collection of import
copies that runs the gamut from
the iauntiest of berets to the most
dashing sailor.
There are all styles for all faces.
The only thing that the milliners
seemingly have agreed upon is
that the all black hat should be

will have to dig up last years

diligent search than usual in your

OTeH. MY nuSDanQ
is a good provider and we get along
as well as the average. About
year ago l met the man of my
dreams. We are in love with each
other and he is willing to marry
me and take my children, but I
don't want to place a stepfather
over them. I worry constantly over
this, for know that sooner or later
the law will find this terrible thing
out. Then I will have to do some-
thing.
Down in my heart I love this
other man and feel that I could
not go on if something should
happen to him. I do not love my
husband. but l do want to keep a
home for my babies. I feel in time
my lover will think I do not care
for him and will get disguised. We
are hardly ever together. I stay
home and try to do what is right.
Please advise me.

page Solomon? 1 have no ready
answer to such complicated prob
lem. If you really objected to liv-
ing in an illegal relationship, sure
ly you would have left when you
first discovered that you had been
deceived.
Instead, you condoned the sit
uation by having two more chill
dren. Now you have three who
must be protected from knowl-
edge of the facts, if such thing
is possible. You can not be blamed
for the first child. but the other
two can hold you responsible for
their plight.
Any readjustment will be diff
cult, particularly since you say you
had no wish to marry the father
of your children. 1t is significant
that your chief objections to your
manner of living came after you
had good reason to want some
thing else.
Somehow I mistrust the good in
tentionS of a man who proposes to
rescue an entire family from sucn
an awkward predicament, although
I may be wrong.
Women are so easily taken in

that they endow them with more

have. Common sense tells me

1 think you feel a secret warning

Dear Jane Jordan-I am a young

two other girls besides me. He

Answer-Be as casual in your
attitude toward him as he is to-
ward you. Try to find two other
boys who interest you as much az
he does.
