country like a forest fire. 1t went
like this, THE Bells Are Ringing

member it? Yes, l am sure that
some of you who are reading this
article remember. For it was that
very year that you promised some
one that you'd be theirs for better
or for worse.
But before the melody of that
song had ended and newly married
lovers had finished their honey
moon, we heard this one, Johnny
Get Your Gun and Get on the

properly trained to use his gun we

old enough to realize what it was

down Broadway, March 26, 1871,

ABBE'S NEW 1915 READINGS
ARE NOW READY

D. B. s.: am 20 years old and
my husband is 80. We've been mar
ried 2 years and have a baby. My
husband has been overseas and is
now back in the United States. He
says ne wants to go back to me,
but never says when. He says that
he still loves me and the kid, but
that he is not worthy of such a
good woman as l. He also asked
me for a divorce. Shall 1 give it
to him? Is he sick or just what is
wrong? 1 love my husband very
much.
Ans: Yours is a problem that
will confront thousands of young
couples like you and your husband
and that is a problem of read
justment. Your husband has been
thru some nerVe-racking expert
ences overseas, and it is hard for
him to adjust himself to civilian
life overnight. Try to be patient
with him while he gets a firm hold
on himself and becomes more
adaptable to present conditions.
Once your husband is employed and
earning his own living, he will be
most anxious to assume the respOn-
sibility of you and the baby. You
had to adapt yourself to the
changes that were brought on when
he went away now learn ia
adapt yourself to the changes his
coming back will entail.
L. s.: l am taking Beauty Gull
ture and it seems that 1 just can't
catch on to my work as / should
work hard and want to make a
success at it, but it seems that
am making slow progress.
Ans: You entered this course
with the expectation of sailing
right thru it, becoming a master
beautician in a few months. But
you must realize that this course
is difficult, and requires a great
deal of study and effort. You have
paid the tuition for the entire
course, and you should complete it.
Make up your mind to study and
succeed at this course, and don't
let little temporary set-backs dis
courage you. Any course of study
you might pursue seems difficult
at times. Discuss with your teach
er the particular phases of the
work that seem hardest to you.
H. B.: Pm in love with a CT
and we have been going together
about 9 months. He was trans
ferred to Spokane, Wash. l haven't
heard from him in 3 weeks and
know he must have some reason
for not writing. People say I an
crazy for not making new boy
friends. What must 1 do?
Ans: Your CT. deserves the
benefit of the doubt. Your love fol-
him should mean more than the

WAC Tells Of Carinq
For Abandoned Baby

A WAC stationed at Fort Myer
told yesterday how she had cared
for six-month-old abandoned
baby while travelling on trail,

lough last Thursday.

went into the diner. When the
mother did not return after several
hours, a search was made for her,
but she could not be located.
With the aid of three sailors and
other passengers, Pvt. Thomas took
care of the baby until she reached
Washington. One of the women
on the train, believed to have known
the child'e mother, then took Gus
tody of the baby. Military authori-
ties, police and Travellers Aid said
they were not consulted in the mat
ter and know no details.

ther, a major, arrived yesterday from
his post in a Western State and
