accomplish a workmanlike job and derive satisfaction from doing it himself. In almost any house, for instance, there comes a time when the plaster takes a notion to fall out at places, for any of several reasons. The correct method of répair, says Parents’ Magazine, is usually about the same. If the plaster has cracked in just a small area and wood lath is exposed, it may be caused by one of the strips of lath breaking loose and this must be made secure before replastering. 2 = =» : USE a hammer and an old chisel, or screwdriver, and carefully nick off the edges of the plaster around where the patching will be done. Brush all the loose plaster out around the edge and make the edge slant in under the remaining plaster so the patch will have a good holding place where it butts against this plaster. Your hardware store or lumber dealer sells patching plaster that is specially made for this purpose. Ex-

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am 18 years old and my husband is 22. We have been married almost 10 months and have been happy. A little over two months ago my husband lost his job. We came to live with my mother until he could find another job. He got to running around with his Old essociates and got into trouble. He is now waiting for a jury trial. I go to see him every chance I get and write to him every day. I still love him no matter what he has done and he says he is sorry and will do better when he comes home, He has been in trouble before and I know he will get a sentence, but should I wait for him? Should I give him another chance? I married him with the understanding that the other trouble was to be forgotten because of his new responsibility. I trusted him whenever he went out alone. He broke that trust once but if I gave him another chance would he do it again? I never could stand another heartbreak but I never could love another as I love him, WAITING.

Answer—This is a decision which no one can make for you. It is up to you and you alone. look at the facts without coloring them with your own wishes. Your husband has been in trouble twice. Marriage did not help him keep his promise to abide by social rules. The chances are it will not help him the next time he meets with temptation. I do not doubt but that he is sincere in his promise to reform, but I do doubt his ability to keep his promise without more expert help than you can give him. If you want to stick to him and try it again, it is your right and privilege to do so. Perhaps you would not be satisfied if you deserted him now, for advice is no substitute for experience. ; You learn what to do by living and not by being told what to do. You have some time in which to make up your mipd. The situation does not call for ‘an immediate decision. Wait and see how you feel when the emotions clustering around this event have died down: » » ” DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am 18 years old and have two sisters both of whom have run away from home. My mother is broken-hearted. I am a freshman in high school. I think I should quit because my mother

me ‘to. Should I take mother’s advice and get a full education or quit? MICKEY.

Answer—You can be more help to your mother if you go ahead and get your education now. That is what she wants you to do and that is what will bring her the most satisfaction. JANE JORDAN. Put your problems in a letter to Jane

sponge and draws the water out of the patching plaster before the latter has a chance to set. Patching

plaster is an especially prepared product in which the setting fime has been accelerated to a point where the plaster sets before drying is complete. Ordinary plaster, when used in small amounts, dries out before it has time to set. As a result, it crumbles and falls out of the crack or open area in which it has been placed. W: patching plaster this will not pen, because the plaster doesn’t dry until it is"snugly in place in fhe wall

PLENTY of time must be allowed for thorough drying of the plaster, and when dry the spot néeds a coating of size to insure against future discoloration through painting or papering. You can buy a little package of size from your paint store. Size is usually made of glue or starch and you mix it with water and use it according to the | directions of the particular manufacturer. A word of caution: don’t use water-soluble sizes under water-mixed decorating materials such as casein paints or calcimine. Minor hairline plaster cracks can be eliminated by using a spackling compound, but any plastering job, big or little, must be properly sized before decorating,
