There seems TO be considerable difference OF
opinion in regard 10 the relative merits OF hus-
bands and wives. H. w" makes some pertinent
remarks on the subject.
Dear Miss Robinson:
I'm the opinion OF this dsiIlusioned young
man, who has been married and Is now free,
life does lose Zcst after marriage.
Before married, the girl Of my dreams
seemed 10 be everything any man could desire.
but what an awakening I had! The neat little
girl admired proved TO be a careless sloppy
creature who was always ready 10 take but never
10 give. Our marriage became a completely one
sided affair. She was never up early enough
TO have breakfast with me, so I wouldn't know
whether she ever looked like the picture you pre-
sented for your readers.
IL have watched many Of my married friends
and though some make the best OF a bad bargain.
haven't seen too much enthusiasm In any
couples life.
"The trouble with marriage Is this-we men
are too romantic and see In a pretty girl the an
Swer 10 all dreams. The girls I'm question
have their feet on the ground and when they
want us they play the game UNTIL THE
PREACHER TIES THE KNOT and then all is
over The incest time Of ones life Is the court
ship period, for marriage kills the Eest Of life

Everyone looks forward 10 msrrage-but
WHY II Is a tradition that's all. For GEN.
turies u IS the women who have been taken for

the tables 10 turn. A man thinks that all that
is necessary TO do is TO bring home the bacon.
II is not he who sits up at night If the children
are sick OF worries II the bills arc not paid The
only reason men get married is that they're afraid
Of becoming bachelor they want TO evade
the draft.
There Is much injustice done the old maid
It's not because she isn't beautiful or that She
doesn't wear her clothes well The reason behind
II all is that she looks toward the future more
than man does. He only thinks Of today let
tomorrow take care OF itself
L give girl credit that doesn't get married
Why should She be slave TO any man? That's

To have vegetables at their
best in flavor and food value,
remember some of these points;
Peel as thinly as possible, or
better, cook with skins on and
peel later; the vitamins are con-
centrated right beneath the skin.
Cook or serve as soon as pos
sible after being peeled; long
soaking in cold water destroys
some food elements.

Tips on Vegetable Cookery

Cook vegetables as quickly as
possible; avoid cooking green
and non-starchy vegetables TO
the mushy stage.
Do not stir vegetables during
cooking process as this exposes
them TO air and causes destruc-
ton of some Of the vitamins.
Never add soda TO try to en-
nance the green color of your
vegetables.
