II Ia one OF these han-truths
that Worried Wife" 10 troubled
about.
Dear Miss Grey: Ny husband
and I have just discovered that
friends living half way down our
block are passing around a tall
story" about VI that il quite UNI
true.
The unfortunate part Of the
situation In that the basis Of the
story il true. Not long ago ] went
70 the middle west 10 visit my
family and while was gone, our
next door neighbors had my hus-
band, three couples of our ae-
quaintance lone Of whom was the
family who started the rumor) and
an extra woman into dinner. Ma
turally my husband and the extra
woman were paired off.
Some time later, just before ]
got back In town. my husband
happened TO see this same woman
waiting for 4 bus and offered TO
take her home. These are the
only two times he has ever been
in her company and yet the peo-
pie down the street have il all over
the neighborhood that there IL
trouble between myself and my
husband over this woman.
What are we TO do. ! have &C
eused the couple of starting the
rumor but of course they denied
n. What attitude should my hus-
band and take? Now, when we
are invited to neighborhood parties
We are almost afraid TO 70 for
fear we will run into these neigh
bora. Should we turn down all
invitations for a while until the
thing blows over, or would II be
better 10 attend the parties but
ignore the trouble-makers II they
are present.
WORRIED WIFE.
Dear Worried Wife: 1 should
say ycu would he making y great
mistake n You turned down your
frsends' invitations. II would
only lead to more speculation
and gossip. Your friends would
wonder why you were no longer
seen together and the situation
would soon get unbearable.
The first party or 30 may he
. little difficult, but neverthe-
bsas don't refuse to attend. Go
10 ~ parties with as light
hearts n Possible and show
your friends what . good time

FAREWELL PARTY AT UNALkSkA FOR
 NURSE: LENA H0UGH
Occasion Marked by Birth day Celebration, Wed-
 ding Announcement

UNALASKA, Sept g Special Correspondence)-Last Friday eve ming one of Unalaska's most color full parties was given here in honor of Miss Lena O. Hough, Govern ment nurse, who is leavng shortly for Orlando, Fla.
 A dainty buffet supper was served to about 50 guests. The affair was sponsored by the Misses Virginia Harris Riley and Inez Josephine White, popular local government hospital nurses.
 Miss Hough came to Unalaska about a year and half ago. She has not only made host of local friends, but has shown outstanding ability in her chosen profession. Particularly. has she won lasting praise and appreciation from the natives of this area who contacted her through having been patients at the local hospital Her kindness, helpfulness, cheerfulness and ef- ficiency to them have been out standing and will long be remem- bered
 Near the end of the supper there was brought in large cake beau- tifully decorated, Happy Birth day" It was then disclosed that the occasion had a two-fold pur- pose-a farewell tribute to Miss Hough and in celebration of her birthday. Her age? That is still e secret; but there were seven lighted candles on the cake. What re- mained no longer a secret, how ever, and which was pleasant sur prise to the guests, was Miss Hough's announcement that short ly after her arrival in Florida the wedding bells will ring. Her fiance is MT Walter F. Andrews, large plantation operator in the vicinity of Orlando. Congratulations, NJ. Andrews. You lucky fellow!
 Aside from being a competent nurse, Miss Hough has another ac- complishment: she is an expert floriculturist in her own right; and she will find in her new Florida home ample space and opportunity to pursue her hobby. While in Una laska she cultivated 70-some varie- ties of potted plants. The nurses reception and dining rooms in the hospital were made more charming and beautiful because of her lovely Towering creations. One of her pe5 plants is a large entwined morn ing glory, with it's delicate icy-blue blooms three inches in diameter.
 Miss Hough is also a connoisseur of Alaska souvenirs and native handicraft. She is taking with her a prized matched set of light plati- mum blue foxes, an Inland red fox scarf, large polar bear and brown bear skin, and oodles of pieces of carved ivory and other native ham, dicraft, mitch of which were gifts from appreciative, admiring native patients.
 She leaves this week on the U. s. motcrship Penguin for Seattle. She will travel east via New Orleans. and expects to reach Orlando, Fla, about October 25. A host of frien5s here join in wishing her happiness.

Wall and ceiling tints to conceal
bad proportions and accent the feel
ing OF space are now being general
~ used by home owners. Light col

create a feeling Of space and should
be used as groundwork when this
effect is sought. A gray back
