Heart and Home Problems

Dear Mr. Thompson! (1) My elator-ln-law does not live with her husband, as she moved with hor mother and hor mother has alwaya made trouble for him. When she moved with her this young man lost

his Job ana went

s ifiy

home to his mother tor a day or two, and when he did go back he was put out by her mother, but the wire did not want to leave him. Her mother made her start a divorce and now this man has to pay her $10 a week for he has two small children. She is living with her mother and her mother has talked her into going with her husband

' ' again. He Is wlll-

ing to go to house

keeping again and will do what is right If she will ' not stick to her mother. Don't you think that it is a wife's duty to stick to her husband more than her mother? (2) Would you advise us to be friendly to thier man as he has not done us any harm? AN OLD READER. (1) If a man does his part and la not drunken or abusive, a wife's duty Is with him rather than with her mother. She should try to decide matters for herself and should not allow herself to be governed by the Judgment of her mother. (2) Certainly be friendly to him and help the girl to see that her duty is to her husband as long as he does what is right she should even stick to him If he is not right and try as best she can to influence him to better things. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young

H otxsehold Hint -

man employed as a stenographer in a downtown office. Now that so many girls are taking up stenography it has almost crowded me out of a joo. I don't know just what to do. Do you think it would be wise for me to study something on the side so that 1 would be prepared for an emergency, for instance, such as losing my position, or not being able to compete with the new stenographio talent that is being sent out by business schols? ARNOLD W. I think you are wise In taking precautions to be prepared in case of emergency. You might take up the study of law during your spare moments and at nights. Or if you feel that you would be a good engineer,

you might take a course in engineering i

partly at night ana aunng your syuittime. Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) Can you suggest a few Inexpensive Christmas gifts I could give to my friends between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one ? (2) Do you think an Xmas carol such as Dickens' "Christmas Carol"

would bo all right as a gift or do you think that a book that isn't quite as dry would be better for a girl of eighteen? (3) There are some girls in my clas3 that I like very much, and I would like to remember them with a little Christmas gift (although I never go out to places of amusement with them.) I met them in September.

Would it be proper? SUSAN. (1) Handkerchiefs and some very attractive and inexpensive Christmas boohs. There are any number of things you might get, for instance, a tie, powder ba , pin, vase, etc. (2) Yes, Dickens' "Christmas Carol" would be very much appreciated by almost anyone, but perhaps some book more modern would be better. (3) Send them Christmas cards; it Is much better on such short acquaintance.

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON

HOW THE PARTY BROKE UP WITH A STARTLING SCENE "Frank, we must go home." Little Mrs. Lester stood before her husband, her face anxious, her voice strained. I knew that her anxiety about leaving, her baby alone had reached a point where she could no longer hide it. "Go home!" Dicky's voice broke in, aggrieved, astonished. "To think anybody should suggest such a thing at a party of mine. I'm surprised at you, Daisy." We were all seated in the living

room again, Harry and Lillian Under-1

wood, Frank and Daisy Lester, DicKy and I. From every point of view save one, our little chafing dish supper had been a decided success. That exception concerned only myself, however. It was Harry Underwood's unpleasant persistence in forcing his presence upon me. The sandwiches were all eaten, and the chafing dish was scraped clean of the rarebit, although I wondered how they could possibly eat the stuff. The beer and ale bottles with which Dicky bad liberally stocked the tableB were empty, and the whole supper had been one continual cross-fire of laughing and Jesting. "You will surely wait for some coffee and cordials. Katie is coming with them now." I knew that I must second Dicky s words. I felt guilty, however, in urging Mrs. Lester to stay, even though with my inexperience of babies, I thought she was foolishly anxious. "Oh, Mrs. Graham. I don't believe I can wait for anything. I am getting so nervous. I know it's awful to be so silly, but I Just can't help it." "Dalsv." Her husband's voice was

stern, his face looked angry.

is really most painstaking in her care." "Oh, I know, I know; hut suppose the baby should be taken ill suddenly. The maid would never know what to do." "Would you, I wonder?" I did not speak the words aloud, but they flashed into my mind. She appeared such a child-mother, this pretty little woman. To be continued

A clever young lawyer was defending a man accused of housebreaking. "Your honor, I submit that my client did not break into the house at all. He found the parlor window open, in-

serted his right arm and removed a few trifling articles. Now my client's arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish him for an of-

j The prisoner calmly unscrewed his ; cork arm and, leaving it in the clock,

walked out. Soon after a certain judge of the supreme court of Rhode Island had been appointed he went down into one of the southern counties to sit for a week. He was well satisfied with himself. "Mary," he said to the Irish waitress at the hotel where he was stopping, "you've been In this country how long?" "Two years, sir," she said. "Do you like it?" "Sure, it's well enough," answered Mary. "But. Mary," the judge continued,, "you have many privileges in this country which you'd not have in Ire-

"When you telephoned the maid an hour ago. the baby waa all right, wa3 she not?" "Yes, I know," she returned dejectedly. "But I have heard such dreadful things about maids neglecting babies left In their care.

"If you have had your maid a year you either ought to be able to truct her or you should discharge her. But I think you have heard exaggerated stories. Now, for instance, in the apartment across the hall there is a maid who takes devoted care of a baby. I don't know who the people are, but the mother Is out nearly every afternoon, and he maid

Recently Mr. E. O. Spangler who was manager of the Central Auto Station responded to the call of his country and by his leaving caused a change to be made in the management of the Central Auto Station. Mr. O. (Dale) Bowers who for some time has been employed as head mechanic is now in full charge of the business and henceforth will be active in the management of the affairs of this business. Mr. Bowers is very familiar with garage work and under his management we can assure you that you will be accorded the same courteous treatment that you have been accustomed to in the past.
