My New ls4s Astrology Readings Are Ready

E. L. c.: am in love with boy
who is a good bit younger than l
am. He wants me to marry him.
Must marry or make the change
l have been thinking about?
Ans: You have a great deal of
respect for this boy you are going
with but l am inclined to feel
that you are not in love with him.
The change that you are cOntem-
plating will enable you to become
self supporting and make other
eligible friends. Your aunt has
many advantages to offer you there
in Houston.
Disguised: Every pay day my
husband and l have arguments
about the money he takes out be-
fore he brings his check home.
When we fuss, he tells me I can
go. What must l do?
Ans: The small amount that
your husband takes out and uses
every week as he sees fit is not
enough to cause all these fuses
and eventually a separation. Sure
ly after he works hard for his
money he is entitled to a little
change to spend. He doesn't de-
priye the home for his extrava-
ganees and you don't have to go
without a thing you need. There
are some things in all marriages
that must be accepted if a harmOni-
Gus atmosphere is to be maintained.
J. R.: For the past six weeks
have been waiting for a settlement
from the insurance company about
my husbands death. Must l secure
a lawyer to handle this for me or do
they expect to do the right thing?
Ans: Allow the company time
to complete their files on this case
and give them a chance to handle
the transaction in their own way.
There are several important phases
they must clear up before they can
pay the claim. You don't need a
lawyer. 1t would just be an added
expense.
G. D.: Why did my boy friend
change his mind about getting mar
ried? l sent him a telegram and
letter special delivery and he won't
answer.
Ans: Doesn't he have reason to
ignore your correspondence? Didn't
you deliberately hang up on him

HERE AND THERE:

FRED FRANKLIN, Boys Work
er at Wheatley House, dashed
down to Kansas City, Kansas, for
a few days during the Xmas holi-
days. Fred says he rode down on
the train with that young bride-to-
be, LOIS STOVALL, who was on
her way to be married to MASTER
SGT. GABRIEL BOUDREAUX,
who is stationed at Fl. Riley, Kan
sas. Saw DON STRAWDER
and BARBARA MCCLURE in the
Dreamland Cafe on Xmas Day
looking mighty happy. (Methinks
wedding bells may ring for this
couple in the none-too-distant fu-
ture.) PHIL MCCULLOUGH

when he called you long distance?
When he was located there in the
city where you are, you could afford
to pull these temperamental fits and
get away with them. But when you
have no more respect for him than
to act Indifferent after he went to
the expense of calling you long dis
lance, he is going to let you take
your own sweet time about getting
over your pOut. 1t will take more
than one letter and telegram to

l. E: love my wife but there
are things l will never be able to
get used to. When we have friends
in the home or when we go out
among our friends, she insists on
dancing even if she has to dance
alone and take the center of the
floor. l admit that she is a wonder
full dancer, but there are times
when she embarrasses me among
some people. Naturally, we fuss
when it is over. Tell me what
should do about it.
Ans: She is one of the few peO-
pie born with a natural sense of
rhythm and talent for dancing. Mu-
sic affects her like wine does some
people and she can no more curb
this tendency to dance than some
people do to drink. You are making
grave mistake to try to force her
to suppress this gift. The fact that
people continually ask her to dance
should be proof to you that they are
enjoying it. She is madly in love
with you. Make up your mind to
avoid this selfish attitude. You need
not worry about people having the
wrong idea.
U. NJ. j.: am a young woman
20 years old and a sophomore in
college. l was married, but am di-
vorced now. My problem is this . {.
l have had three proposals and I
want to know which one should I
accept?
Ans: The fact that you can't
make up your own mind should be
pretty accurate proof that You
aren't seriously in love with any of
them. You have had one unhappy
marriage why be so anxious
to jump into another one? Go
ahead and finish college. That is
what you always wanted. When the
right man comes along, you won't
need anyone to help you make up
your mind

Utensils-aluminum, iron, enam-

pot, pan and pail variety will leave
the housekeeper little more than

Tin, vitality important to the war

II was about a week after the bankers
death that the girls, whom he referred to as
his associates, were summoned to his law
yer's office and notified of their good fortune.
But there was bitter mixed with the sweet
even on that first day For instead of being
in the Millions as everyone had expected,
Jeffie's estate amounted to only $150,82l.
In order TO avoid unpleasant publicity he
had not directly willed the $150,s21 to the
girls but had Instructed his executors by let
ter to distribute the money among them.
Before the allocating could be carried out,
however, major hitch developed. A suit for
a couple OF million dollars was filed against
Jeffie's banking firm, and the estate couldn't
be touched until the suit was decided one way
or the other
