doesn't he want me to get in there
and look?
Ans: The contents of this chest
are entirely personal and he in
tends to keep them SO. He doesn't
want the children going into his
private affairs, and since you are
new there yourself, being married
only nine months, he hasn't seen
fit to discuss the contents with you,
either. If you really want to find
out what kind of papers he has in
there stop slipping around try
ing to find the keys. Act as if you
don't even care and in time he will
satisfy your curiosity.
D. NJ. M: / am in love with a
young man and he said that he
loved me, too. Tell me if there is
chance of me getting him right
away,
Ans: No, don't thing SO. He
does think well of you, but he likes
some other girls, too. He likes your
sister in law, too. A marriage
won't take place in your life any
time soon.
S. B. H: My husband and l mar
ried six months ago and haven't
spent but one night together. We
have dates together, but he won't
stay with me at night. Tell me,
after the baby comes, will he spend
his nights with me?
Ans: He will grow up in time.
He's young and thinks it smart to
stay out, and if you were to put
your foot down about his dating
you whenever he wants to he
would find you a place to live,
When and after the baby arrives
tell him that he will have to gel
you a place to stay and live with
you, else he can't continue to live
as he is now. You have been en-
tirely too lenient with him.
W. NJ. B.: / want to know if this
man is really serious. His aunt
tells me that he is. ! think he Is
full of 1--WE.
Ans: Well, he is making plans
to get a divorce but il win takt
some time yet before he is a freo
man. Go with him since he ISM
with his wife, but don't count OF
him too much until he Is free Il
get serious again.

W. S.: Do you see any changes
for me? l have been going thru
darkness over 20 years with my
husband. He bosses everything, his
money, groceries, everything / do
and / am, just like a child here. I
am so tired of it and ! can't stand
it much longer. What must / do ?
Ans: 1t isn't at all likely that
he will change his ways this late
in the day. l would suggest that
you try to make the most of the
situation as you realize his DOM
ineering nature and adapt your
self the best you can so that you
can keep peace in the family. He
is sincerely fond Of you, but he
won't turn his money over to you
now or ever. You have stood it
this long don't think you
would be happy away from him.
v. NJ. R.: Will / go to college
this fall as ! have planned? This
is my fondest dream.
Ans: There are many things
that you will have to do before you
can enter college this fall
money seems to be the biggest OBJ
stacle. This friend of yours claims
that he will help you out get
a job right now and save every
cent you can as you certainly will
need it. It can be worked out, but
you will have to manage unusually
well to get thru the school year
H. E. B.: Please tell me if
should encourage this young mar,
ried man on any longer. Does he
love me and is he truthful and doe!
his wife suspect?
Ans: Drop your head in shame
Give up this boy altogether
and have nothing more to do will
him. 1t really isn't smart to g
with a married man and you aren'
splitting his wife but you Ger
tainly are hurting yourself. Yes
she suspicious something is wrong
and / wish to state that if he ha'
loved you, he wouldn't have mar
ried her. You are being played TO
a fish. .-...

seasoned Hinckley campers had in

food, the village lodge where such
good times are held, of overnight
hikes to the Adirondack lodge, of
the visits of deer, of canoeing and
water pageants on the St. Croix.

all this time for not becoming ac-
uuainted with her sooner. She had
always admired him from a dis
lance, so naturally she was pleased.
Our hero, still looking handsome
and nonchalant, offered plans as to
future dates and how much fun
they would have together. The girl
(sappy as girls usually are) was
completely taken in and then when
he mentioned that he wanted so
much for her to come by his house
to meet his mother (whO was in
town at the time), she was sure Of
his sincerity. Our heroine wanted
to meet his mother very much and
thought it would be quite enjoyable
but was overcome with shynesS at
the prospect of going to his home
by herself-so she demurred. He
treasured her that his mother
would be tickled to death to meet
her.
Meanwhile, the conversation pro-
crossed with happy glances inter
spersed. The pleasant evening
drew to a close with our hero prom
ising faithfully to call the next
day. Well, the days rolled by with
no call-sO our heroine. thinking
that maybe the hero was ill-sat
down and fOOlishly wrote him a
short nOte-tO which he never re-
spOnded. Since then, our dear little
couple have met once and the
frozen stareS and mad scramble
for exits were almost ridiculous.
'Tis said our hero, before attending
any social functions, makes sure
that there are plenty Of exits so
that if he has to leave suddenly,
he can make a quick getaway. On
the other hand, the heroine, though
deeply puzzled and hurt, has told
Sal that she wishes she could re-
assure him that she bears no NAL
ice towards him and there is no
need for his hurried exiting when
she appears for she's learned (the
hard way) that he doesn't want to
be bothered.

Hello, Folks:

Hello, Folks:
Well, it seems as if everyone
celebrated the 4th in his or her
own particular fashion. Some went
picnichng, boating, fishing and
some went dancing at various
spots" around town. A large
crowd was seen at the Sumner
Field in Minneapolis, believe it or
not-St. Paulites and all sections
OF Minneapolis were represented.
It's said the Credjafawns' picnic at
Kings Valley held some fascina-
ton for the following couples who
appeared to be mighty happy:
OLLIE LEWIS, who was on leave
from the army, was looking quite
the style in his army uniform. . O..
Vivacious LORRAINE HORRIS
had what out-of-towner quite en-
crossed in only herself. LIE
ROY COLEMAN'S lovelight for
the day was his intense interest in
motor-boating. FERN LEE
and RALPH WARD had eyes for
only each other. BOB GARD
NER was quite the attentive one
when it came to BILLIE RITA
RHODES. LYNN COMBS, a
Harvard man, who is visiting in
town, seemed to be enjoying the
Twin Cities as well as the local fe-
male populaee. All in all the
picnickers were a might happy lot.

but anyway they" said they" had
a fine time.
A PERPLEXER:
She, an unassuming Twin City
lassie, met him, a handsome rather
nonchalant out-of-town student, at
a small party not long ago. They
had known each other quite cas-
ually for some time, but bein' that
both were busy with their various
flirtations, etc., they had had nc
time to notice each other before
This particular mite our hero slow
ly ambled towards our heroine's
particular corner of the room and
began a conversation. Much to her
surprise, he began by saying how
lovely she looked, and how sorry
he was that he hadn't noticed hel
before and what a san he had beer
