Dear Mrs. Thompson: Just before I Christmas I got a letter from- an old
friend saying that she was commg to visit me and would be at our house for Christmas day. I was very glad to see her again and made her most welcome, but my
husband did not like her at all. After Christmas she did not say anything about going, but stayed on and didn't . help any. She was there just three days and after supper my husband got mad at something she said and he got up and p'ut on his coat and hat and told me right in front of her that he was going away and would stay away until he could have his
home to himself and his family. He said that I could phone him at work when the house would be free for him to come back. Of course my little friend left the next morning brokenhearted. I was so mortified I didn't know what to do. I have never seen my husband act so before, if my friend had stayed several weeks I

Put above ingredients into vessel over fire, let boil ten minutes, stirring frequently (remove all the scum); let cool and pour over meat, first rubbing with common salt. Afte lying in the brine for four or five weeks, take out, drain and wipe. Hang up and smoke from one to two
weeks (or use the prepared meat smoke). Put meat in muslin sacks and hang up in a dry, cool place. THE TABLE Pot Roast with Creole Sauce Get three and one-half pounds English cut
of beef. Sear on both sides well. Place on rack in pan, dd one cup hot water, one carrot and one onion cut in cubes. Cover and let simmer for three hours. Add a little water as it needs it from time to time. Three-quarters hour before done add following: Three carrots and three onions, cut in cubes; one pint can tomatoes and a little water. Add three sour pickles cut in one-quarter inch slices, about nine canned peppers, stuffed olives cut fn three pieces, about ten minutes before done. The meat should be taken out when pickles and olives are added. Thicken the sauce a very little and serve very hot over meat at table.

After adding sirup to cake mixture, stir in one-half teaspoons soda, one and onehalf teaspoons cream of tartar sifted with one-half cup cornstarch and one and one-half cups pastry flour and the well-beaten whites of six eggs. Bake in moderate oven in two layers. Use the following for filling and frosting: Marshmallow Frosting Boil one cup sugar with one-third water until sirup will thread from fork.

could 'have forgiven him more easily. What can I do to make my friend forgive me? I told her before she left
how I felt and she just declared she could never forget it. MRS. McC.
Your friend will not blame you when
she thinks it over. Just forget the un
fortunate occurence and at Easter
time send her a pretty card or greeting. Remember that you are not re
sponsible for the things your husband does and even if your friend does not forgive you c you need not reproach yourself. f
DearMrs. Thompson: (1) I an a married woman with two children and my husband is jealous of me. He has no cause to be. What can I do to break him of it? (2) He accuses me of being thick with men and throws over people up to me and accuses me of. doing things I am not guilty of. What can I do about this? (3) He does not'want me to. have any friends or to go any place! If I do go he abuses me. I feel at times I will go crazy. Tell me what to do. . (4) I try to please him and do the best I can and keep my house clean for him and work hard, but still that doesn't please him. He doesn't want me to have company. I sit and cry
for I get lonesome. What more can I do? (5) Shall I still stay with him and take his abuse and ill-treatment' I am broken-hearted all the time. BROKEN-HEARTED WIFE. (1) Do not argue with your husband. Since you know that what he says is untrue you have no cause to worn'. As long as your own conscience is clear be ?ndependent and try not to worry about his accusations.
(2) You are -afraid of your husband because he accuses you. As long as you think fear you are bound to suffer. You must consider yourself when you act and be more independent. He feels your fear and the brute instinct in him enjoys seeing you cringe. (3) Invite your friends and do not consult him. (4) Don't stay home and cry. Go to Red Cross where you can meet people and get a broader point of view. (5) You consider your husband too much. Stay with him but have your own interests at heart.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I went to a party where they had mistletoe everywhere. It was impossible to stay out from under it. Almost every girl there got kissed. I tried not to be, but one boy caught me. Do you think I cheapened myself? What shall I do? BETTY. Do nothing about the matter. Never mention it, and you will not cheapen yourself.
Revelations of a Wife
HOW MADGE ESCAPED FROM HARRY UNDERWOOD: O ; (Concluded) , , ; 1. : ."But I didn't come up hers to talk about Lil, my dear Miss Iceberg."..,-r . I interrupted him hastily. I had no intention .of letting pur talk get away from me. ; ' 1 ' ;-' ' - "Do you know I experienced a most embarrassing, annoying -sequel to our adventure of last night?" The speech showed my desperation. Ten minutes earlier I could have imagined no emergency whic.h would lead me to retail my experience of- the morning. But I was determined .not to let this man begin his embarrassing personalities. ...... "You don't say?" 'He' was all pretended interest. I saw that he imagin
ed I had dropped my unfriendly atti
tude- toward him. . - . "Yes, Indeed.- The maid brought back the hot water bottle early this morning before we were up, and told Katie the baby was better." "Rather ungracious .way to return it."
"That is what I told Dicky. But he
said they were probably so upset that they did not think of conventionalities. "That's just like old Dicky. He always has an excuse for everybody." "Yes, I know. But when I tell him what happened I think he will admit my first judgment of them was right." "Tell me. I am sure you are always right." "When I started for 'my walk I thought it would be only decent to stop at the door and inquire about the baby." "Did you get the door slammed in your face?" "Not quite. But the maid left me standing outside while she went in and told her mistress I was there. Then I heard the baby's mother say in a low. tone: 'Oh, that woman from across the hall. I suppose I shall have to see her." "Well, I'll be" he caught himself up abruptly. "What did you do?" "Turned away and walked out of the building before anyone came to the door." He slapped his knee with his open palm. "By George, that spice of the devil that breaks out in you once in a while is the most attractive thing about you.
Got a nice little temper of your own, haven't you?" How 1 longed to: give this unpleasant ogler a taste of, the temper he was commenting on. . ' A primitive childish Impulse to slap his face stirred in' me. Mocked my gloved fingers tightly together. T was afraid I might yield to the impulse."I was very much ashamed of myself after I had walked away," I said sedately, ignoring his last speech. "That woman's discourtesy, which of course, she did not intend me to hear, was no excuse for my being so childish, but I was really, very angry." While I was talking. I was racking ray brain for an excuse to get down from the bus without his following me. The sight of a modiste's sign gave me a clue- We were passing through one of the side streets before turning Km Riverside Drive. "Here is where I stop," I said quick ly. Don't bother to come with me. My errand .is with a dressmaker, and you know what a long time that means. ' I stood up to pass him, but he arose with , me. - "You can't get rid of me like this, little girl," he said with his cynical smile. "111 take you to your dressmaker's door at least." His manner showed that he saw through my ruse,
and determined to make me admit I had no errand. "Very well," I said, demurely. " He helped me from the "bus and we
started toward the sign I had seen, as we came to the door of it I poused and extended my hand,' although I hated the thought of touching his. He grinned sardonicaally. "I have to slip it to you. . You've certainly handed me a lemon this time. Of course, 1 don't believe you have any more idea of going to a dressmaker than I have. A bride of a few weeks doesn't usually need a , dressmaker.
you know, too many trousseau clothes to wear out But yon know I like nerve and deviltry wherever I see it. so I'm going to1 give you a little regard of merit. I am going away from here." ' lie. squeezed my hand tightly, then bent over and kissed it, to the infinite delight, -of some street urchins who saw him. As he lifted his bat he grinned." 'I think I ecored one anyway," be said as he walked away. With the street boys capring up and down and calling derisively after me, I hurried into the dressmaking establishment, made a few conventional inquiries about prices and materials, then came out again, and going in an opposite direction to the one be had taken, came finally to a street car in whose shelter I safely rode to a corner near' my home. Not until I closed my own dood did J feel safe from- the possibility that I might meet blm again. I sank down in my easy chair, angry and humiliated. Harry, Underwood was becoming an unspeakable annoyance to me. Yet I felt helpless to alter the situation. -

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or corns between the toes just loosen in their sockets and fall off the next day if you will apply directly upon the corn a few drops of a drug called freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
