Marketing for
The Fourth

The long Fourth of July week
end needs a well stocked larder
and plenty of foods that can be
eaten cold. Cold boiled ham,
chicken, turkey, duck, tongue, jel-

lent to have on hand. The favo-
rite fruits for the holidays include
bananas, oranges, watermelons,
peaches, cherries, and plums.
For the picnic outings include
canned meats and fish, peanut
buffers, salad dressing, eggs,
cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and Gu
cumbers. The berries do not carry
we'll on the picnic as other fruits
though they are plentiful and rea'
sonable In price.

fancy girls of 81 falling for

After she's got his money, and
he has got the laugh of his
friends, it's not unlikely he'll
come back to you, and say that
you should not have deserted
him when he had cleft the rails"
temporarily.
That is so often the way with
gentlemen whose hair is growing
thin, as their waists grow thick.
It's just a question whether you
want to stand by, and wait for

Beauty
How to Clean
Fin6ernails
By HELEN FoLLETT

IF D1SCOLORATTONS under
the nail ewes are stubborn, as hap
pens when there's gardening to be
done or fruit to can, clear them
with the white nail pencil. Or if
you find it a trouble to keep it
sharpened, dip the orange wood
stick in peroxide, then in powdered
pumice stone. This treatment will
give you a nice, white line.
Never be tempted to clean the
nails with a metal instrument. It
will dig grooves in the inner sur
face of your pink shells. Then
they'll catch dirt for fair and
you'll be in for a lot of bother.
Don't soak the hands in soap
suds before filing your nails. They
will be soft and will offer no re-
sistance to the file. Don't forget
that there's a tough inner sub
stance that must be brought out
with the orange wood stick and
removed with the emery board.
The metal file doesn't affect it.
Before shipping away hangnails,
apply olive oil and work the flesh
away from the nail base with the
stick. Use the pointed scissors
neatly and carefully to avoid max
ing a wound.
This is the season when it is
easy to keep the silhouette in
trim. Light foods are appetizing
and there are opportunities to get
out of doors and play.
Tomatoes. green salads, spinach
practically all vegetables that
grow above groundwork add an
ounce of weight. Lean meats pro
vide energy and don't fatten.
Tennis is an ideal exercise If
there are fatted calves or arms.
Golf doesn't do much toward re-
ducing. Swimming is one of the
best exercises.
Eye strain is responsible for
many beauty griefs, especially
crow's-feet, squint lines and nerV'
business.
If the eyes tire after few min
utes of reading, if lids are red or
the eyes bloodshot, seek the Serv,
ices of an eye specialist. If glasses
are necessary, don't postpone the
time of putting them on.
When selecting a frame, many
different styles will be offered
you. The frame that suits one
face may not flatter the next one
The shape of the features must be
taken into consideration.

CONSULT LAWYER

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Five years ago / was married
in another State, because we did
not wish the marriage license to
be published. My husband beg
ged me to keep my marriage secret
as his mother was old and sick
and likely to be seriously affected
if she knew her favOrite SON had
married. 1t seems she had babied
him a great deal, and was violently
opposed to his marriage.
$50 consented and, against my
better judgment, had this cere'
mOny performed by justice Of the
peace, with a couple of strangers
as witnesses. I've always sup.
ported myself. My husband has
never contributed anything at all.
When we 60 away for a weekend
sometimes, I usually pay the ex.
penses. I'm getting very tired OF
this arrangement.
"His mother is still alive, bus
as he does not wish to acknowledge
me as his wife, / should like to
have q divorce. Will you please
tell me If / must sue in the State
in which / am now living, in the
State in which 1 was married, or
il it would be better to 60 to
Reno? "B. B."
When it's a question Of divorce
or legal adjustments of any kind.
I always advise correspondents to
consult a lawyer, or if that is too
expensive, to go to the Legal Aid
Society, the Domestic Relations
Court, or their equivalent in the
State in which they live.
Laws governing marriage differ
in nearly all of the 48 States, and
I am not legally qualified to give
satisfactory advice concerning di-
vorces, separations, custody Of
children and such things. On these
subjects, everyone wants the best
advice obtainable, and it's better
to go to a duly qualified lawyer, or
some institution like the Legal Aid
Society, and get the most up-to-
date counsel.
I'm going to take this occasion
to beg you to avoid the type Of
lawyer called ambulance chaser
or some legal ,quack who would
take your money and give you
wrong advice.
TOO MUCH MYSTERY !
Dear Miss Fairfax:
For two years she was the
one girl for me. Then, out Of
the blue, 1 got a letter from her
stating that she had had some
trouble with her mother, and had
left home. She claimed her rea-
son for not telling me she was
going away was that would
persuade her to remain, and con-
ditiOnS at home were intOlerabIe.
81 worried myself nearly crazy,
and never heard a word from
her for six weeks. Then 1 got
a letter, pOstmarked half way
across the continent. telling me
not to worry about her; that
she'd be back soon and we could
be married as planned.
my family, who are very SEN.
sible people, know about this, and
say they think / would be crazy
to marry this girl after the way
she has treated me. What do
you think about it?
ARTHUR B."
It is inconceivable that any
alibi would explain the strange
conduct of your fiancee, and I
think your family's advice is en-.
tirely rational. Suppose you mar.
ried her, and she was given to
these sudden and unexplained
disappearances-what kind of life
would you have with such Q
woman?

discussed that day, as reminder not

On the other hand. if he is introduced
to her by a mutual friend. then he per-
haps says, I'm certainly glad to meet

If several people are introduced at
