THE HOME FRONT


 Meet a New York landlord He's not the kind of landlord who comes around the first of the month, splits a bottle of beer and picks up the rent. He's big shot operator, with partners, 8 legal staff, press agents, and whole string of buildings for rent. He's got handsome offices and a plaque on the wall showing how many of his employees are fighting with our armed forces .. His wall is SpottLd with citations for the purchase of War Bonds. All his stationery urges you to Buy More Bonds ,. He's a patriot, all right, because almost every night he sits on a dais and says so. He declaims that nothing is Too Good for Our Boys ... And just to show you he means it. he is fixing up something good for them-but good.
 Now meet a soldiers wife, one of his tenants Her husband is a captain of artillery now in a Ger man prison. She is the support of their two children, although s4le can't support them in the manner she'd like .. .. She has lived in the same apartment for seven years and always been prompt in the rent, which is $1,400 year. A year ago the landlord refused to give her a lease. When she asked why, he told her the truth. He is too pa- triotic to be underhanded about it. The OPA, he explained, prevented him from tipping her rent. So when the OPA ceased to exist, he didn t want to be hobbled by a lease The soldiers wife was grateful that he was so frank.
 Not long ago she got another frank commurique from the land- lord. This was via mail, and the letterhead had the customary ad- vice on it to Buy More Bonds" She was informed that the building she lived in was being re- organized on a new type of CO., operative plan. She was invited to buy the apartment she occupied. The landlord didn't add lucky you" put the tone of the letter said it

The uppage of $466 .67, She was told, represented taxes and mortgages, etc., all of which razed her. The letter said that although It LOOKED like more rent, it really represented saving. Income taxes could be charged off, etc., etc., es- pecially by one like her in the 50 per cent tax bracket. Oaughter.)

 Dress RehearSe Wedding At Home
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Spring bride? Well since super stition prohibits you from walk ing up the aisle at your own we'd ding rehearsal, you can get around this taboo by practicing the ordeal at home.
 If your dress has train or skirt which bells out unpredictably from a hoop, the idea of home-re- hearsal is to get used to it. Shoes limbered up at home will make you feel more sure-footed when they take you to and from the altar.
 When a girl is sure of her clothes, and is forehanded about learning what the slow, measured tread re- quires of her when she wears them, she will be better able to march to and from the altar as regally erect as a bride should.

 When West showed out. another round of triumps were taken. Then the ace and king of diamonds were cashed Crawford ruffed another heart. Now the two high clubs were cashed by Crawford. A small club was played which West had to win with the queen.
