GOING TO PRISON

The unbelievable fact that
he, Bob Trent. was going TO
prison began to spread itself
over his brain in. excruciating
agony.
He wondered duly, whether
Myrna and Little Bob would
starve-pro ly red tape
didn't allow the families of
prisoners to go on relief.
Strange how he'd never
considered the guys one reads
about In the newspaper, as

off with the wife of a neighbor
when Bob was less than a
year old and his mother had
moved away from the place

DOB TRENT sat on the

house. There was a time when
he'd been inordinately proud
of this his first real posses
sion-but lately the sight of
II only served to remind him
that a payment of his mort
gage was long past due.
He'd insisted on sending
Myrna TO the movies. while he
chased Little Bob to bed and
fixed the dishes-he couldn't
stand watching her fly around
the place in that gay, efficient
way of hers. while he should
be telling her that tomorrow
he'd be on his way to Jail.

in a position to treat you for the
condition he finds.
E. G.-Does the man my daugh-
ter is going with mean her any
good or should I burst them up?
Ans: l don't think you should
interfere as she is old enough to
know what she is doing and would
resent any action taken on your
part. If they aren't very cOngenial
she will be able to see this
much quicker if you don't try to
sway her one way or the other.
You might encourage the young
folks in to see her more often.
A. M.-Tell me if 1 am going to
be successful in the plans that 1
have in mind.
Ans: Carry out your plans for
building for it seems to me your
husbands job is going to be per-
manent. You might help out by
finding extra work yourself.
B. L. P.-Tell me if we will mar
ry or not and will we be happy if
we were to get married?
Ans: Well you certainly
don't get along very well single
and l don't think it advisable to
marry under the present circum-
stances. He likes you fine but
you can't agree on anything and
marriage like this wouldn't last six
months. Why don't you try seeing
things alike for a change?
Mrs. M. WI was with this man
a long time and he moved out with
another girl. Does he care as he is
coming around to see me now?
Ans: He cares enough that he
would like to have both of you on
the string instead of just one. Don't
fall for his hard luck story. If he
can give the girl up altogether and
offer you marriage, consider him.
If not find you some one else
to be happy with.

L. K.-Prof. I wish for you to
answer this question for me. Will
I be successful in making the
change that am contemplating?
Ans: Yes E. and you will prob
ably make your arrangements to
move to Detroit around the first of
the coming year. 1t seems to me
that you can work out your present
plans whereby this will prove a
favorable step for you.
w. Y. K.-Am 1 wasting my
time? Does this man 1 am loving
now love me as he claims?
Ans: Right at this time he
thinks he does but when he gets
a few years older he will change
his mind. You are 10 YEARS his
senior and that is a lot of differ
ence in your case. Go on with him
if you like but l urge you to make
some other friends around your
own age, too.
]. ]. WI am very fond of a
certain fellow and his feelings to-
ward me don't seem to react in the
same way mine do. Do you think
should continue seeing him as it
hurts deeply, more each time.
Ans: You realize of course that
he isn't in love with you and he
isn't encouraging you in the least.
He does enjoy dating you but that
is all. Yes, by all means make other
friends but you must give up the
thought entirely of being in love
with this boy.
R. L. TT have bad cough and
have had it for the past four years
and l don't know what on earth to
do for it. Help me, please.
Ans: Go to some good specialist
in the city and have your lungs
and chest X-rayed. Clear your
mind once and for all regarding
possibility of tuberculosis. After
this is done the doctor will be

GlOrifing Yourself
" Alicia RaEt
MA service stafe Writer

Before she buys her Easter suit, decides on a new coiffure or ex- periments with new makeup, the smart girl gets a clear mental pie ture of the way she wants to look this spring.
 "Do I want to be a feminine, fragile, 1o4l version of a Gibson Girl?" she asks herself. "Or do I want to be casually tailored--in the Mrs. Harrison williams manner = or chic and sophisticated, like the Duchess of Windsor2"
 FLUFFY vs. CASUALLY
 TAILORED CLOTHES
 Not until she has made up her mind as to the specific kind of pie ture she wants to create does she shop for hair-do's, clothes or acc cessories.
 If the old-fashioned, dodey,s Ladys Book theme strikes her fancy, she considers fluffy bangs and a low chignon, frilly organdy blouses, suit with silk braid bind- ing, frothy neckwear on simple dresses, cameo pins, necklaces and bracelets of plastic flowers.
 If she decides to be casually tai- lored, she shops for silk skirts with plunging necklines to be worn with tailored suits, dinner slacks instead of dinner skirts, dramatic jewelry of yellow gold and mammoth stones, shirtwaist prints and little turbans. DRESSING IN SOPHISTICATED STYLE
 To be dramatically sophisticated ly dressed, rather than casually tailored, she'll wear with her suits simple blouses with handsome touches instead of ope1l-at-the- throat shirts, exotic hats rather than little calots or turbans, ear- rings, always more than one brace- let at a time, pumps, rather than oxford ties, slim evening clothes in- stead of bouffant types.
 For the woman who feels that she isn't at her best in tailored clothes, there are day ensembles that consist of fitted coats and printed silk dresses with dressmak- CT touches, fur capes, new afternoon dresses with dolman sleeves and softly draped necklines and bouf- fant evening dresses with deep decolletages.

Look just as young and gay as you are!' says this cocky little basque-efiect dress for a 'teen-age miss. Claire Tilden has planned Pattern 328 with nice understands ing of young girls desire for something new and different" yet she has made 1t tasteful, simple and quick as can be to cut and stitch. The popular lower waistline theme is carried out srnartly, with a straight line in back and @ double pointed front seam. Notice the trim, figure conforming lines through the bodice, with darts slanting in from the sides for perfect fit. In contrast, the skirt crisply flares. One delight- full trimming suggestion is to use brilliant contrast or ribbon, lacing 1t up the front and ending 1t in a big, bouncing bow. If you prefer a simpler effect, just use fresh bow of, say, white pique or linen at the curved V-neckline. The brief bolero has short sleeves and may match the new iayons or cottons-or try @ sprightly printed silk for this pert style. And follow the clear advice of the Sewing Guide.
 Pattern 328 is cut in junior miss sizes Il, 12, 13, IA, 15, 'l6, IT and 18. Size l3 requires 3 1-2 yards 39 inch fabric and IA yard contrast.
 Send FIFTEEN CENTS (15c) in coins for this pattern. WRITE CLEARLY SIZE, NAME, ADDRESS AND STYLE NUMBER.

CRUELTY INHERENT IN MAN

CRUELTY INHERENT IN MAN
 It was some years ago that you first recommended belly breathing to put one to sleep (writes Q man from the north woods). It worked. Later you said 1t would help weak heart. A severe helnorrhage from a gastric ulcer had left my heart SC irregular and weak that I lacked breath to climb an easy flight of stairs. I educated the muscles to dc belly breathing all the time. It was some months before the habit was firmly established, but is helped from the start.
 Then I needed your advice to use more milk. Disliking the cooked taste of pasteurized milk I sought in- formation from people who were using goats milk. Most of them had begun to use 1t for stomach trouble and without exception they recommended 1t. I bought some milk goats. I found the milk so rich, smooth and satisfying that soon drank nothing else with meals, us- ing two quarts or more a day. Severe attacks of heartburn and pain that had always had ceased.
 Gradually the limit to the amount of exercise I could take without my heart going haywire and putting me on my back was raised. Once more I could do all the work in my gar- den of more than half an acre.
 Still another bit of your advice I followed-to stop eating as soon as real hunger is satisfied, or on the right side of the dessert. Through the years this has brought my weight down from 200 (height 6 ft.) to 155, waist measure 35 inches. Les- sened bulk seems to ease the load on the damaged pump. I never try to hurry and never worry.
 Besides doing my garden work, when fall comes one or two days each week paddle my own duck boat. When the ducks jump I'drop the paddle, grab the gun and oc- casionally drop a duck. Misses, however, are more frequent than doubles, but 1t does not upset me in the least. I still have the exhil- erating exercise in the bracing air with the company of all the wild things that I have always loved to study.
 When the deer season opens I go north. No hurry is required to still hunt deer. A mile an hour is plenty fast. Five or six miles day through the serene beauty of the white mantled evergreen woods is sheer joy in spite of rough and rocky walking. If no deer are seen there is still the pleasure of friendly chickadees, illquisitive moose birds, sharp eyed grouse, dull witted com- blaming porcupine, pert red squirrels and snowshoe hares that never quite know whether to trust man or not. For this active, comfortable, con- tented old age (79) thanks to Dr. Brady - and the goats. (T.F.M)
 (How an able-bodied man with a sound mind can find pleasure or take pride in killing such beautiful creatures is beyond my cornpre- hension.)
