EAR JANE JORDAN—One of the sweetest loves in the world ended in the death of the man, leaving a broken-hearted girl to find someone to fill the empty spot in her heart, Now the girl has found that one. Should she tell him of her previous affair, knowing not how his feelings toward her might change? The girl loves the fellow ‘and the fellow seems to think an awful lot of the girl, but there are times when they seem terribly far apart. : The girl tries so hard to forget the past. She wants a happy end- | ing, but the fellow in the story is blind to the fact that he is playing the leading character. Meanwhile the girl patiently waits. How can the poor fellow be so foolish? I once thought I loved him, but I'm not worth one.tenth of what the girl in the story will be’ to him. She’s the best sport, full of laughter, and always tries her best to smile. FRANCES.

2 0» » » ” ANSWER-—-Your problem is not altogether clear to me. Is it that you are more in love with the man than he'is with you and you are “waiting for’ a proposal which does not come, or are you acting a part to which he does not respond? I have tHe impression that you regard the man as 2 somewhat unsatisfactory substitute for a lover whom you lost by death. He loses by comparison when you remember your first affair, and while you would like him to know this, you are afraid to tell him sc. I always have felt that the less said the better where a former marriage or love affair is conterned. Of course a. really important secret cannot be concealed successfully in marriage. A person can’t live happily with the fear of discovery hanging over his head. In such cases absolute honesty is advisable even though candor has been | likened to a two-edged sword which'may separate rather than unite. I am reminded of a French novel, “La Labyrinthe,” by Edouard Estaunie, which relates the collapse of a marriage because of a truth withheld. A fine, but poverty stricken man inherits a fortune from his aunt. He knew that his aunt had a devoted woman companion for years and wondered why she was not remembered in the will, After he received the money and his unhappy life unfolded rosily in its new security, he found a new will wherein his aunt left everything to her companion without mention of him. Imagine his conflict! He sought the woman and found her charming. In a flash the solution occured fo him. He married her and at first they were happy. Then his secr¢t began to weigh on him. Should he risk his happiness by telling his wife the truth? He feared her reacticn so that he could not ‘speak. The story relates the gradual collapse of the marriage because of the dark secret between the pariners. However, I cannot feel that your fearly love affair constitutes a secret of any such guilt, particularly since thie man is dead and cannot act as a rival except in idealized memory. Why disturb a fairly peaceful situation with at least the potentiality of happiness by arousing the most senseless of all conflicts—jealousy of the past? : JANE JORDAN

The hand is a simple one, so sim. ple, indeed, that it would appear transparent to all players. But, as a matter of fact, a number of players failed to find the proper way to play the dummy.

Combining Sugar and Eggs Key
| To’ Success in Midis Meringues
Does your husband like meringues? Mrs. Peter Fagan of Jamestown, N. Y. writes that her husband does, and asks for a few aids to continued domestic harmony. Parisian Meringues Two cups sugar, 1 cup water, 5 egg whites, 12 teaspoon almond extract, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Combine sugar and water and boil until syrup forms soft ball in cold water. Beat egg whites stiff and add to hot syrup, continuing to beat constantly. Then place saucepan on ice or in ice water, stir in flavoring and continue to stir for five minutes. Cover and stand for another 15 chilling minutes. Next shape as you desire them on a buttered sheet and dust with cornstarch. Bake in slow oven (300 degrees F.) 30 minutes. That’s the recipe Mrs. Fagan asked for. But here's the more usual method. Raspberry Meringue (6 Servings) One cup sugar, 3 egg Whites, 15 teaspoon baking powder, 1: teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon water, fresh raspberries and lightly whipped cream. 2 : Sift sugdr. In a bowl, using wire whip, beat egg whites, baking powder and salt until stiff. Combine the vanilla, vinegar and water. Begin adding sugar to beaten egg, a little at a time, alternating with a few drops of the liquid mixture.

Of Arthritis
Dr. Fishbein Cites Hy- ~ giene Measures to Be Followed.
~ By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor American Medical Association Journal. '
Because the joint in arthritis does not work satisfactorily, the muscles around the joint become
wasted due to lack .of use. Quite frequently the joints will be stiff and painful in the morning, gradually improving during the day as a result of exercise. At the end of the day, however, when the body is fatigued, the joints will ache and the whole limb feel heavy. As this condition goes on, eventually the joints may become locked or there may be noise on motion and other symptoms indicating the advanced character of the disease. In the prevention of chronic arthritis, it is best, first of all, to realize that these conditions do not occur nearly as often in persons who keep themselves in a good state of health. It is desirable to keep the hygiene of the body at a maximum. People who are overweight, who have high. blood pressure, take little exercise or take it irregularly and just at the week-end are more likely to have this trouble than are others. Bad Posture Cited
The habitial use of bad posture, the gradual development of a condition with round shoulders, big stomach, knock knees and flat feet frequently mean the development of arthritis. Workers should be protected against badly ventilated workrooms, dwellings against dampness, and all | infections should be avoided. Early treatment of infection in the throat and in the teeth is a protection against arthritis. In the treatment of the chronic forms of arthritis, the methods that have already been mentioned for the acute rheumatic conditions may be applied. Heat Helpful
Heat may be given to the joints in many ways; massage of the affected limb is often helpful; gentle, superficial and rhythmic rubbing helps to prevent muscular spasms around the affected joints. It also aids in relieving congestion and improving circulation of blood in the joint, Massage is usually preceded by heat which helps to relax the tissues. The use of a hot water pool. with proper control of movements of the

limbs of the patient while he is in the pool, is useful in this condition as it is in the various forms of disturbances which follow infantile paralysis. Many times an expert orthopedic surgeon may help by applying suitable supports, braces and other apparatus to the affected tissues in order to take off the wear from the sensitive areas.

Wait Before Correcting Child Is Aid
Harshness Following Misdeed at Once May, Irritate Wrongdoer.
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
When a child has broken a rule, or done something that he knows is forbidden, almost instantly his dee fense is increased. He finds vindication right away in his own mind. Consequently, he is ready to resent correction with his whole might. Secretly he knows he is in the wrong, but’ he won't acknowledge it, even to himself. Furthermore, a peculiar sensitiveness sets in, an inner shame that simply cannot bear to own up to itself, These are two reasons why harsh measures immediately following misconduct may serve to irritate a child, rather than cure him. “But won't he forget what the punishment is for? If I wait to scold him, or spank him, won’t he have forgotten?” asks mother. No, he won't forget. He'll ree member very well, unless he is very little.
Retribution Must Be Learned
However, it is asking too much of human nature to advise any parent to put impatience on ice until the culprit is in a more receptive mood, Besides there is such a thing | as quick and sure retribution. Everye orie must learn, man, woman or child, that certain acts bring instant reprisal almost as surely as broken bcnes follow a crash,
‘Such a lesson is well learned, that there is not always a breathing space before payment catches up. It is an excellent idea for the parent to weigh both sides of the question, when to act and when to wait. For the hourly correction of the impulsive or wilful child often seems to have no effect at all. Talking to him when his defense is down may have a more lasting effect on his general conduct. He will be able now to see our reasons for wishing him to do better, and more readily realize that after all he has been leading us a dance, and that he has been very unfair and trying indeed. he deeper regions of the child’s mind and heart are reached, not ihe he is emotionally in high gear, but, when he is calm, and we too are calm, so that each can approach the other’s mind and have a better understanding.
