Dear Mr.. Schneider: Permit
me on behalf of the Welfare Ad-
visory Council to express most
hearty. appreciation of your gift
of Twenty-Five Dollars to the To-
cal Clinic The interest you have
shown in the charitable work of

some idea may be gained of our
local problems No such oppor-
tunitY of employment is offered

Emergency drills were held and
the promptness and efficiency dis

that considerable constructive

the handling of the boats under

The method of conducting the
fire drill trained the personnel Of

When there is so much being
said about poise and beauty in
general, it may be well for us TO
know the Importance of keeping
up with the rules at all times.
We have a certain time set aside
for facials, hair treatments and
grooming, but good posture, cor
rect speech and refined manners
must be practiced constantly I'M
til it becomes our own natural
expression.
When we work ABOUT the
house, many of us become so alb
sorbed in getting things done
we are likely to be careless about
such things as picture, and even
neatness. 1t should be an easy
matter for every woman to have
enough fresh clean houSedreSSeS
and aprons on hand, as they
are inexpensive and always look
pretty. Then the hair can be
held in place with some attrac-
tive band until after the first
duties are finished.
This will insure q neat at

Other girls with whom I've

rather put up with the onion,

DEAR Mr.. Antheil: I
~ have been married for
20 years to the only man I
could ever love. We have
four children, one of them
married. My husband often
told me that he loved me bet
ter than anyone in the world.
"He had been working away
from home for year. I lived
with my parents and he made
excuses why I shouldn't move,
Then I received a letter from
his home town where he was
visiting his father, stating that
my husband was living in a
furnished room with a girl, she
posing as his wife. I went there
and he left with the girl. He
returned in week, asked me
for forgiveness, and said he had
given her up.
He Asked
For DiUOrce
II returned home and he
wrote to me saying he wanted a
divorce as he loved the girl.
Then he took her out West,
lost his job and finally she left
him for another man. Then
he started writing to me again.
He said he wanted to come
home and would be a man, that
he realized his mistake and
that he loved me only. He
came home, stayed four weeks
and went back to the city where
his father lived and where the
girl was again. I then got an
other letter that he was keep
ing company with her. I wrote
to him but heard nothing.
1.-TWO years ago I had an
operation. Due to this I can
have no more children. He told
me at that time he still loved
me but could never feel the
same toward me. The operation
was no fault of mine. have
spent the best years of my life
trying to make him happy. Why
did he come back? Does he
really love the other woman?

at the party, I got the ring.
Upon showing my prize, every
one exclaimed, That means a
