me, which my wife never has done.
I have no interest in my wife, but
1 devOtedly love our baby, and this

Yours is the DID,, old case, my
dear man, of wanting to eat your
cake and have it too-but no one
has ever been able to manage that.
You tell me you and your wife
uuarrelled constantly when yon
were together. Don't forget the
old adage, that it takes two to
make a quarrel. So, very likely.
you're as much to blame as your
wife.
If she is willing to forgive and
forget, and it's the only way YOU
can get back the baby, why not
try to make a go of it a second
time? Also, it might be well to re-

something more serious than not

Winter vegetables that can
always be found in abundance
on the market are beets, car
rots, cabbage and onions.
These are the staple vegetables
that used to be stored in the
fall in the cellar on the farm
in the vegetable bin.
They have been classed as win
ter vegetables so long that new
uses for them are apt to be neg
lected. The carrots, cabbage,
and onions can be served raw in
salads. The beets and onions can
be picked.
The onion comes in an assort-
ment of strengths-from the
sweet mellow favored large ones
that are good in salad to the
small biting ones that are used in
small amounts as seasoningS. II
onions are cooked they should be
cooked in a large amount of water
uncovered and drained as soon as
tender.
In cooking the beets the color
is important. Cook them in their
skins and leave a small amount
of the tops attached to them.
The carrots should be Scraped
and not peeled as the vitamin A
content lies next to the skin.
Cabbage is one of the health
vegetables that is rich in the
needed protective foods but in
order to retain all its goodness it
should be cooked only until trans
parent and tender. This is never
more than 20 minutes and for
new cabbage is between IL and
Is minutes.
These recipes use these vege-
tables in new ways.

their consent.
"At the same time, I'd like this
girl to know that she's pOaching

about the engagement and swear

The best way to have a secret
Of that sort broadcast is to swear
someone to secrecy. She'd tell
someone else, and that person
would hand it on, too. If you
don't want your engagement

ANSWER REQUIRED
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Il received letter recently from
a young man whom knew slightly
about five years ago in high
school. He evidently noticed me
on the street, and, lacking the
courage to stop and speak to me,
as he states in his letter, wrote me
a letter from his college asking me
for a date 1t is not a date for
any special occasion, but just to
go any place 1 prefer. He also
asks for an answer to let him know
my decision.
"a friend of mine tells me that
it is improper to answer, even if
only to refuse, on the grounds that
/ do not know the young man well
enough, whereas 1 think that it Is
perfectly all right to do so. Will
you kindly give me your opinion,
as l would like to feel that 1 am
doing the correct thing in answer
ing or not, as you say.
INTERESTED READER"
Indeed this letter should be an
swered. If you follow your friends
advice you would be discourteouS
rude. You know this young man
even though slightly; he wrote you
a friendly and courteous letter
offered you kind hospitality
Whether or not you accept this
suggestion for an engagement de
pends on YOUR wish. but the let
ter should be acknowledged, his
kindness thanked for.
