rienced depends entirely on the
woman. At any rate. she has COM
mon sense enough to accept the
situation. She does not expect. GER
tainly does not want, any blue
prints or specific evidence. But men
are different. They do prefer to
marry inexperienced women: they
harbOr a great resentment or jeal-
ousy of the man or men who pre-
coded them in the life of the girl.
And they certainly do not take 1t
for granted that the girl has had
affairs or any affair. They may not
want to be told about it. they may
make it very difficult for the girl
honest enough to want to be taken
at her own terms. and not under
false pretenses. but on the whole
pressed in this letter. cannot help
feeling that it's not only honest.
but more expedient. to place one
self confidently in the hands of the
man to whom one Is trusting ones
future. One cannot undo what has
been done: it's even possible that
one might not want to. but know
ing mans attitude on this age-Old
problem. it certainly seems best to
play fair with him.
Fear the Answer
In this sophisticated age there
are. as a matter of fact. men who
have the good sense to know that
an attractive woman's past life be-
fore meeting up with him could not
possibly be devoid OF experiences.
Such men, being fearful Of the an
swers. refrain from asking ques-
tons. but don't for moment sup
pose that their suspicious do not
rankle or that. given the slightest
provocation. after marriage. they
are not given voice.
The best part OF having been
completely honest with the man
one expects to marry is knowing
that after marriage he is going to
believe what you tell him. Deceit
has a way of demanding payment
and at the most inopportune times.
A man will condone before mar
riage an indiscretion he would
never condone after.

Then the molasses was either
Orleans molasses or sorghum. Now
we know that these products con-
tain more available iron than al
most any other food; and that chill
dren need iron. 1t was a nasty
dose and l can still taste 1t. Sulphur
is mild laxative and in small doses
is very helpful in the treatment OF
boils, assesses and glandular en-
largements, which were common
in the spring following the heavy
foods of winter. The clogging OF
the system was augmented by the
heavy clothing and infrequent
bathing of the winter months.
Grandmother also was quick to dis

or a delicious pie, has missed lot.
But rhubarb actually possesses sew
eral distinct virtues that are useful
after q hard winter. 1t contains
vitamins. iron and calcium. It is an
ideal laxative: 1t encourages the
secretion of bile and all other di-
gestive juices. 1t wakens up the
entire intestinal canal and Is q
cleanser par excellence.
Besides, rhubarb was pleasant to
take. unlike so many OF the other
things that were said to be good
for u.s." Grandmother garden had
the far fence corners full Of It. We
ran down the path as soon as the
snow was gone to see II any had

This wasn't the first time Bobby
