Portable and happy.
When she has accomplished this,
then perhaps she might have a talk
with Harold. After a few weeks OF
pleasantness at home he may be
more amenable to reason. She
might ask him to give her an eve
ming week, in which they will
either accept some invitation that
seems tempting to Sandra, or 60
downtown just by themselves for
dinner and theatre afterward. She
might persuade him to join the
country club, always a good con-

should be as the middle-aged doc

her own fault if she does not develop
its possibilities. Mothers an d

17-year-old marriages. There are
reasons for this that little "Seven-

Hose without Holes.

To keep stockings and socks from
wearing thin at the heels and toes,
many women are reviving the old
European practice of waxing
them. Just rub a piece of candle
wax or paraffin on the heels and
toes of stockings before you wear
them. Once the wax is applied,
enough of it will last to make the
stockings more durable for several
washings and wearings. The wax
does not show, and if you apply
only a thin film, you cannot feel
it.
