eluded spot one night. Another eOu-
pie came along to do the intrOdue-

right away, bein' that it was quite
dark and he wore a turned down

the wife found out soon enuf that
it was her own hubby and you'll

black eye she's sporting, a swollen
nose, which is very much in evil

B. Dim a responsible wife,
and mother of three children. /
have tried, truly tried hard for ten
years to make a pleasant home by
working and saving and doing
everything l know it takes to make
and correctly build home. Near
ly everything / didn't want in life
is what I've had. Now l am tired
of being trampled down in feeling
by this man. 1 never get enough
money to buy the children's gar
ments, nothing to speak of. He's
overbearing and not kind at all.
don't want to leave my children so
what must 1 do for a decent
change?
Ans: You are to be commended
for being a loyal mother to your
children. But, in your struggle to
make a home for your children and
to form their character, you have
overlooked the most essential fac
tor in your marriage. You have
failed to give your husband the
love and cOmpaniOnship of a wife.
Therefore, he has grown resentful
and feels that he isn't needed for
anything but to foot the bills. He
doesn't get the opportunity to voice
his opinion in rearing the children,
he isn't consulted regarding their
schooling, play and habits. In Or
der to correct the trouble that ex-
lists in your home, you must begin
Immediately to bring your children
closer to their father and make him
feel as close to you as your children
are.

w. R. C-My wife and ] are both
working. Doing fairly well. Now
tell me should go ahead and buy
her a bedroom suite like she wants
as it looks like she won't be salts
fed until she gets it2
Ans: HumOr your wife. She
works hard and puts all her earn
ings with yours, SO give her the
satisfaction of having her own bed
room suite. 1t doesn't take a great
deal to make the majority Of wOm-
en- happy. And if she can be made
content with a bedroom suite, 1t
is money well spent.
A. il am a widow and good
one too. l met a man of my own
age who is a widower and / like
him very much. We both are set
tied. Should I put my trust in him
now?
Ans: Not yet. He may act set
tied but his mind runs toward
Spring chickens" You hardly
know him well enough yet to be
studying about a wedding. 1t will
be a good, long time before any
lady ropes this prize catch" in.
A. M. M.-Did I do right to stop
writing the soldier even though he
claimed he loved me?
Ans: You sure did. He married
on his furlOugh this spring and
your suspicious are quite true.
