]. L. M: I have graduated from
school. My parents are separated
and l want to go to the city, take a
secretarial course and get a job so
I can help mother. am a person
of small stature and feel this kind
of work would be fitting to per-
son of my type. I also would like
to finish my education in night
school. Advise me?
Ans: If your mother can ar
range to find work in the city . .
move. She is very anxious to have
you take a secretarial course but
before she can finance it, she must
find a permanent job. Write your
father and ask his help in sending
you to business school. 1t really
wouldn't be a strain on him to pay
your tuition get in touch with
him. After you finish your course,
get work then make your arrange
ments to enter night school.
Unhappy: Life in my home is
unbearable at times. My husband
works and makes good but he
won't let me run the house like I
want to. If my husband wants fish
for supper and if 1 want bacon and
eggs, we eat fish. If he wants to
go to see Myrna 10y and want to
see Gable, we see Myrna 10y. We
have been married five years and
1 wonder if he is the right one for
me?
Ans: Admitting your likes and
dislikes so freely before your hus-
band is one sure way of losing him.
He would like to feel that you love
him so devotedly that you would
want to do the same thing that he
does, and enjoy the forms of en-
tertainment that he likes best. You
can't drive him and make him do
the things you like but you
could lead him to do almost any
thing you want. Feed him accord
ing to his particular taste and have
nothing to say about it =. cOddle
him instead of arguing and you
can wrap this old boy around your
finger.
J. E. S.: My boy friend doesn't
want to pay me any attention in
company. He doesn't want to own
me as his girl. What must I do?
Ans: Don't waste your time with
a fellow who appears to be
ashamed of you in public. There
are other nice fellows E. it's time

sweetheart. There's no object in
wasting your time on a man you
know that you aren't ever going to
mean anything to and the quicker
you give him up the sooner
you will find true love.
C. l.: Please help me. My friends
laugh at me because I am fat and
l know don't look decent in any
thing l wear. I'm healthy but am
fat and want you to tell me what
to do? 1 can't enjoy life at all.
Ans: If you are sensitive about
your weight, it's time you did some
thing about it. Reducing is no easy
job but if you reduce under the
supervision of a doctor, it won't
be dangerous. If you were to be-
gin accepting the invitations you
receive to parties and dances, get
out and enjoy yourself, the fact
that you are a little fat wouldn't
worry you so much. You are max
ing a grave mistake to sit at home
and stuff day in and day out just
because you feel you do not look
decent. "Pretty is, as pretty does"
very few girls have perfect
figures.
M. c.: I am married and love my
home very much. But, I still love
this man that I was in love with
before married. He tells me I left
him, would he have married me if
I had waited? What about the
present I sent him? Answer and
tell me how long it takes to get
my Astrology Reading?
Ans: Apparently you have been
swayed by this mans attention and
his admiration and you seem to be
forgetting that you are married
and have a husband. He knew you
first, had the opportunity to marry
you but did not want to be
bothered. His interest in you was
purely selfish and still is. He
would like to have you as a "play
thing but he doesn't want wife.
You admit that you love your
home, you couldn't do so without
loving your husband. Therefore,
be contented with the deep, true
affection your husband gives you
and spend more of your time buy
ing him little tokens of love, as he
is the only man you should buy
gifts for. Send Csc for an AS
trology Reading. You may expect
to receive it within a few days
time.

Night in Harlem
Is Successful

"You just should have been
been there" is all I seem to be able
to get from patrons of the very
successful Night in Harlem staged
at Phyllis Wheatley House on Mon
day night. The gymnasium where
the affair was given was decorated
in very patriotic style with the
tables covered in white with red
and blue "V's."
Then they tell me they had tables
for the various parties up in the
balcony and long before the eve
ning's fun began, there was not
vacant table. And 1 feel so bad
that l didn't go because Joe Levy
was the official host and he is so
gracious and l would have felt so
welcome with just him smiling at
me to say nothing about him usher
ing me to my table and saying a
few words.
Somebody said it was a cabaret
in a small fashion but I've been
wondering a little about that be-
cause Lillian Goodhue Penn is one
of the finest entertainers in the
Northwest and she was the M. C,
and presented stars from the Turf
Club where she works. Can you
imagine? It must have been swell.
Then she's been working with the
children that appeared on the pro-
gram, too, in the evenings-in fact
she lined up all the good entertain
ment that was presented in five
parts and between acts the people
danced to the music of Charles
Beasley and His Band.
1 heard that little Harry Dillon
danced and danced and almost
brought down the house. Eddie
Estes is always a favorite dancer
and those choruses with the pretty
girls and Harry Davis singing, the
Deep in the Heart of Texas Chorus
and the Boogie Woogie were tops.

SHE'S SINGING THE TWIN
CITY BLUES
Our main character in this weeks
story is a rather young st. Paul
matron, the mama of a number of
children and the wife of a rather
"dashing" defense worker. She
has always had most everything
she's wanted, been treated fine by
her hubby and generally speaking,
has made quite a model wife Cup
until now. Recently, this wife has
been accepting the attentions of
young, single, nineteen year old
boy (who thinks he's a man of the
worldly, and she has been spending
her bubbles money (Which is sup
posed to be going into a savings
account), on him. She has pur-
chased some of the most expensive
gifts imaginable and has gotten
herself in very deep debt. Now
comes the sad part-the other day
at work our unsuspecting hubby
was very badly hurt in an accident
and will be unable to work for some
time. He is now asking for some
of his money (Which he thought
was being saved), to help pay the
very high doctors bill which he has
incurred. And our dear little
heroine-the wife-is really in a
fix now, for the bill collectors are
after her for payments on some of
the expensive gifts she purchased
for her 19-year-old b. f., who has
suddenly left town. Now our
wife doesn't know what to tell her
hubby about not having any money
saved in the bank-in fact, she's
really in a bad jam. Well, we
haven't heard the latest results yet,
but bet they won't be good cause
we're sure no man wants a foolish,
two-timing wife. :. Well, friends,
I'll be dashing along for now, but
I'll be seeing you again next week.
YOUR PAL,
