O. G.-For the past year ny
husband has practically deserted
me ana have been thinking OF
getting a divorce and I would ap-
preciate any suggestions that you
might have to offer.
Ans: Don't begin divorce pro-

manent thing. q. . he is much too
old for the person that he has
che sen to do his rsinrins around

Ans: 1t so happens that you are

With a sigh she went back to her private
Office and scheduled conference about sup

ing. +. T. and MIR. Wiggin we're already
awaiting her. and she sat down to listen to
their dissertation, her mind still so set on her
problem that at first she hardly heard what
Wiggin was saying
Its just another of those lines where a
shortage has been created because of the
war" he declared pompously and where
adequate substitutes haven't yet been found
in America. OF course we make some pretty
fine tweeds over here, but Spratt's has always
been famous for Scotch tweed suitings, and
there simply are not any to be had anywhere
Arizona pulled herself together
We've got to find some, she said firmly

which had presented itself to her administra-

find them. If not, then she must Contrive to
do the job - his job, herself. But how? A cold
shower didn't help; even the garden, with its
acres of beautifully kept lawns, didn't help
when she strolled out into it before dinner
Walking nervouSly, she found herself in a
remote corner of the grounds and indeed had
walked straight into the low hedge which
separated the estate from the neghbor be-
fore her mind came back to her surroundings

gentleman was pOtterlng about new planting
of some white blossomed little plant, and
Arizona suddenly remembered that this place,
long closed, had recently been sold at very
great bargain. This old party with the saint
like face and snowy hair was probably the new
neighbor, and in her instinctively friendly
fashion, Arizona hailed him.
'Howdy, stranger" she said, with her
gorgeous smile. The old man looked up from
his planting and melted at the sight of her

said the old man. An though | don't know

rs the heather what depresses you? 1t is a
kind of depressin looking flower!'

Maybe it's business" said Arizona. Il

Who has no? But again it's no exactly
business has me depressed this Draw evenin',
but vera similar matter - game, a thiev-
ing American game called poker!'
You don't say!' exclaimed Arizona in
terestedly. Tell us the hard-luck story,
pardner"
Angus, full of his grievance, was eager to
tell. His best friend and business associate,
Mr.. Rab Clangloughety, had recently taught
him to play poker. The lessons had proven
expensive - in three sessions Rab had relieved
Angus of considerable sums. 1t was a low,
dirty trick and now Angus one ambition was
to get his revenge so far, a hopeless
endeavor.
IT'S the princeepal O the thing" The
saintike face fairly quivered with emotion.
ITO take advantage O the ignorance of fell
low mon to win from him - Losh! wish I'd
have turned the game furrst'
Arizona was struck by sudden inspiration.
Say, does your pardner play faro?"
Faro? dinna think SO. And what wud

skin off so quick you don't know it's gone.

Look, I'll come over and show you!' In an
instant she had vaulted the hedge and the two
were making their way toward the house.
At the end of an hour, Mr.. Angus
Mac acToshlosh had a profound respect for
Arizona and ten dollars of her money, MIR
Mac cToshlosh being what might be termed an
apt pupil Glowing with the satisfaction of
having done a good deed, Arizona took her
departure. Let me know how you come out, >"
she said. And by the way, what line are you
and your partner in?'
An what line would MacToshlosh,
Clangloughety and Cohen be in except i'm
PORTED tweeds?" he retorted.
'Tweeds!' The word froze her to the door
step. Have you got any?"
Aye, plonty and plonty - the last this
country wull see in mony year, " he said with
pride. I'VE are keepin' it fur guild price. In
fact we are not interested in sellin' at all the
noo." He smiled complacently. Well, he
added briskly, I'm obleeged ia ye for the
lesson. If it works I'll hope ia do ye a little
favor sometime!'
NEXT morning Arizona's bomb, dropped in
the midst of hastily called conference, proved
a dud. There is something wrong with any
goods Scotchman holds as long as
MaCToshlosh has held those tweeds," MIR.
Wiggin declared fatty.
Yes, he's had them in storage until they've
become byword in the trade, E. T. added.
'Spratts had better let the stuff alone. GER
tainly will not authorize the purchase"
Have you any other herd of tweeds rounded
up?' Arizona asked. 1t seemed they had not.
And can't use either my own judgment or
the stores money on this?"
Both men were polite but firm. The answer
was no. When they had left the office Arizona
reached for the telephone. Hello, Angy!" she
said in her sweetest manner. About those
tweeds. | could use flock of EN-"
"Losh, Arizona! definitely dinna want ia

let them go under ten thousand dollars cash
at the vurra least, an whut is more, there is

Il take it you didn't try that faro on Rab

Peter Rabbits party promised to
be a great success. Sammy Jay
had tried his best to break it up by
shouting that Bowser the Hound
was coming, when he wasn't COM
ing at all. But old Mr.. Toad, who
had overheard Sammy jays plan,
had told Peter Rabbit all about it
and Peter Rabbit had told all the
other little meadow folks and for
est people, so that when Sammy
gave the false alarm everybody just
laughed.
Mr.. Todd had also told Peter
Rabbit that in an old hollow log
close by Reddy Fox and Shadow the
Weasel were hiding. Peter had whis-
pered the news in the ear of each
Of the little forest and meadow peo-
pie and had told them how Pricklv
Porky was even then sitting with
his back against the opening in the

this the best joke ever, for of course
all knew that Reddy Fox and
Shadow the Weasel could not get
out past the thousand little spears
hidden in the long coat of Pricklv
Porky.
Prickly Porky settled himself very
comfortable and began to tell stories
about his home way up In the north
woods. Every few minutes he would

In the various discussions raging
about the hand it was pointed out
that six hearts was a reasonably
good contract for North and South,
since this contract could be made
by means of successful finesse in
trumps or for the king of clubs. 1t
was then pointed out, however, that
six diamonds was an even better
contract, since this slam could be
made by cashing the ace of spades,
ruffing a spade, drawing trumps and
conceding a trick to the queen of
hearts. declarer eventually making
five diamonds, four hearts, two black
aces and ruff.
However, the last word came
when some one pointed out that

tract by the simple expedient of
refusing to win his queen of hearts.
