THE romantic story of a print
I hen and rooster, aided and
abetted by Cupid in daisy form, is
entertainingly told in motifs for a
set of tea towels. Any bride, or
matron, would welcome clever
towels like these; there is one for
each day of the week. The two
extra motifs are for matching pam
holders to complete the set.

~ her train happily. A whole
month, with Christmas only ten days
away. That meant nearly three
weeks for after-Christmas jollifca-
ton, skating, visiting round with
old friends and just squatted before
the big fireplace reading and talk
ing. Wouldn't Aunt Margaret and
Uncle Jake be pleased and sur
prised, for she had not written.
After three steady, grinding, monot-
onous years in the department store,
1t would be heavenly.
She flashed a look down the plat
form. Yes, there was wooden
legged Sam, the expressman.
Things hadn't changed a bit in three
years.
"Hoo-hoo!" she challenged.
The old expressman looked up,
stared, then stumped forward.
"Blest if faint Brice Harper!"
he cried. Back among your old
friends ag'in. Fine! Come to stay,
or a-visitln'?"

Just visiting, Uncle Sam-two
whole weeks, though. Out to Aunt
Margaret Holmes. After three
years! I'd never have believed
could stay away that long. But 500
miles-too far for a poor girl to af-
ford paying fare for few days

because l haven't taken a vacation

of nice times. But for the real
Christmas I'm going to depend on
their postals. There are lots of nice
girls in the department store who
haven't any home and who will have
to depend on the cheap boarding
houses they live at. I'll write a
postal to Aunt Margaret and to five
or six girls know will be glad to
spend week or ten days with me.
And say. Uncle Sam, I'll look round
and then make out a list of gro

Then the girls piled in like a whole

farmhouse seemed like to burst it.

and drawn home with all the appro-
pirate songs and carols and huzzas
they could think of, and trimmed
as never a Christmas tree had been
trimmed before. Dressed in all sorts
of costumes, the happy girls sang
hymns hour after hour, quitting
only when they were too tired to
continue.
And then, right in the midst of it
the hearty voice of Uncle Jack
roared through the door, mellowed
by the softer, happy laugh of Aunt
Margaret.
I'm going to have that dinky

The first question is. of course, Have you your marriage certifi- cate2' Already We have had enough experience to show that some people are not able to show this document or a church record. Other proofs are aceeptables but having a public re- cord does save further effort. If no such document is available. we ask them if they can provide Us with the affidayits. we take whatever evi- denee they may be able to submit and in many cases this will be ae- cepted as proof. of their marriage .
 Monthly insurance payments are provided for widows under two dif- ferent situations. First, if the work CT leaves young children in her care, the widow receives insurance pay ments until the youngest child is 16. or Is If in school. and each child is also entitled to benefits. Second, the widow of a qualified worker generally is entitled 10 monthly pay ments for life after she reaches 65 provided she has not. remarried. A widows benefit will amount to three-fourths of her husbands bene- fit rate at the time of his death and each child, within the age limit, re- eeiyes one-half of that rate. so long as the total benefits of children and mother do not amount to more than twice the amount that would have been paid to the father.
