Modern MARRIAGE
Just Seventeen and in Love
With q Married Man

7 do? Every one in my family is
strictly against me. but I love
him so very much!",
Lillian. you are q foolish girl,
immature even for your tender
years and incapable, apparently,
OF avoiding this pitifully obvious
trap. AS for the man, I suspect
he is an adventurer without a
conscience, and certainly no sense
because he has put himself in line
for a paternal boot and perhaps
even prosecution.
But our concern just now is for
you, Lillian. You must get your
self out of this mess as quickly as
possible. for that is what it is
not. as you seem to think, q deep
and sacred love. This man is
making a fool Of you, taking ad-
vantage Of your lack of horse
sense.
Don't you know enough to sus-
pect q man who makes such glib
explanations of why he can't
marry you? Have you ever seen
his separation papers? And why
is he separated from his wife
if he is? Why not divorce? You
should have been suspicious of
him, both as the husband of an
other woman and as your suitor,
from the start.
I think you are seeking q sub
stitute father instead of a partner.

What's the matter with a high

with a married man who is ole

what's the matter with such q
man? But let's hear Lillian's side
of the story first:

We have been going together
secretly for the past two years
The reason that I didn't let my
mother know was because ]
thought she would disapprove,
seeing that our ages are so far
apart.
when my mother accidentally
found out about it, she forbade me
to see this man. I obeyed her for
two months, but then I found out
7 really loved him and couldn't
bear being separated from him.
He is fine and decent. well liked
by all who know him. 1t seems
like the only reason mother dis
likes him is that he has been mar
ried, although he has had legal
separation papers for the past
two years.
HE and I have talked about
marriage. but we can't do any,

divorce. What do you suggest

Guinea Hen in Cream

Let's go luxurious for the next
dinner party and serve guinea hen
in sour cream!
Truss a couple of young guinea
hens as you would for roasting
and rub them with oil and salt.
Leave the livers inside. Put them
in a covered roasting pan or
better still casserole, with 2
onions. quartered and a couple of
tablespoons of butter. Roast at
about $50 degrees for IS minutes,
turning occasionally so that they
will brown nicely.
Heat 11a cups of sour cream
with u a teaspoon of salt and a
dash of white pepper. When the
hens are roasted and the cream
boiling, pour 1t over them, re-
place the lid and cook Is minutes
more, basting with the cream
three times. Serve from the cas-
serole after carving into serving
pieces.

II this man had any self-respect,
or any respect for you, he would
not put you in the position of
double dealing your own family.
He exhibits a wide streak Of dis
honesty, Of which his own family
may well have been the victims,
and you the next.
What to do? Tell him, pronto,
that it's all over. Get out Of this
unwholesome situation, seek the
companionship of boys nearer
your own age. And do 1t before
you are damaged for life.

INFORMATION GIVEN.
By Mac

mrs. D. J. d., Falls Church.
To the lady who requested in
formation about the play,
Farmer Takes a Wife" think
I remember seeing this play
listed sometime ago in the cat
alog of Bakers Plays, 500 Boyl-
ston street, Boston 16, Mass.
However. it does not appear in
the most recent issue of the
catalog and it may be out of
print. If it is, they will advise
you whether copy is available
and if it is not of their publish
ing. they will get a copy for you.
To the lady who inquired
about successful popovers. Last
year in RICH I remember there
was considerable discussion
about these, but none of the
contributors mentioned what
has been my particular secret of
success-that is, the beating.
Any recipe from any standard
cookbook will do. After get
the ingredients we'll mixed, set
the large bowl in which make
them in the sink and then beat
them like mad with the egg
beater for a minute or two. I
am sure an electric mixer would
do even better. Then I pour
them into the previously heated,
well-oiled custard cups and put
them into the oven in about a
minute or so. Instructions
usually say to cook them with a
hot fire for 20 minutes and then
reduce the heat. I reduce the
heat at Is minutes and then
cook 5 minutes longer at the
lower heat. Popovers will be
more golden brown this way.
OF course, the less peeking into
the oven. the better. If you
beat the mixture well and follow
all instructions carefully, you
can't fail.
I do enjoy RICH. but I was also
interested to note there that
another reader also thoroughly
enjoys Pogo!

Allies Reject Red Plan
To LET Russia Inspect
Secret Arms in Korea
BY the Associated Press

MUNSAN, Korea, Mar. 12.-
Allied truce negotiators today
rejected a new Red scheme to let
Russia examine American secret
weapons.
U. N. negotiators said the Com
munist plan amounted to a
forced gathering of military intel
ligence" by neutral inspection
teams supervising a Korean
armistice. Under the Red pro-
posal these teams would include
Russia.
Allied negotiators also rejected
a prisoner exchange plan they
said the Communists seemed

Admiral r. E. Libby said "it could
be a trap" In any event, it did
not include voluntary repatriation
on which the Allies insist.
Improvement Noted.
Despite the dual rejection U. N
spokesmen noted an improved
tone in truce talks after recent
days of bitter exchanges.
Col. Andrew j. Kinney, U. N

dicated desire to talk "a little
further" about supervising an
Iarmistice. This was reflected in
the length of Wednesdays session
It lasted one hour and 13 minutes
compared to a combined total OF
13 minutes for the three previous
meetings this week.
In this session North Korean
Col. Chang Chun San made the
move to take the wraps off secret
equipment. He proposed that any
member of neutral inspection
teams could require the entire
team to examine any equipment
brought to Korea during the truce
