Mr. Getty talked into the mike, "\\'e can all pattern our lives after this lu:ppy cettple." He ,ltxtered theist with gifts: furniture, groceries and a bend. As Ardeth watched them waik oft, she wondered about their recipe for happiness. Twenty tive years! Surely, Mrs, Pratt would be glad to help out a broken-hearted The nest morning was Sunday. Frank ate breakfast in silence and disappeared into the garage. Ardeth walked over to the bus. It wasn't a tong ride She was surprised to find the Pratt's house smothered in bushes and trees. It certainly sym- bolized happiness. A dream house! She ran up the steps with a light- ened heart. She pressed the bell but no one answered. She could !tear the radio and knew someone was at home, If they didn't answer the front, perhaps they would the back door. Walking around, site heard loud vices in the basement. "Is that .o?" yelled Mrs. Pratt. There \tee a blasting noise and Ardeth heard falling glass. Then another voice. "How in the blazes was I supposed to know you used the pan for that?" More crashes. "My aim is a$ good as yours,,' the first .sire screamed. "If you crave to throw, 1'11 throw something, too." Later on, when Ardeth had been invited in, Mrs Pratt said: "So you came to me for advice?" She patted Ardeth's shoulder and said: "Per- haps I can give you some at that." She offered Ardeth some home- made cookies. "We're happy. Quarrels don't natter, every normal couple has them. But yon can't change a husband. You've got to accept his shortcomings as he must accept yours . There isn't any recipe for happiness. But you can overlook many things in life." When Ardeth got home Frank was still in the garage. She went straight oto him. "I'nt sorry about the tubes, Frantic. I'm au awful tightwad." Frank's eyes brightened up like sparklers. He reached to a shelf. "I got you this at the Fair," he said, handing her a huge how -be- decked box of candy. It looked awfully expensive, but Ardeth re- membered about the overlooking part Mrs, Pratt had mentioned, so all she did was to look into Frank's eyes.

F.,r this purpose fall has several distinct advantages over spring. For one thing, at this time of year the soil is ea.;ier to loosen, or to move if desired. 'l'he ground is warns, and the daytime tempera- tures keep it so until all the tiny grass seeds get a chance to sprout. Heavy dews and plentiful rainfall provide the moisture time little shoots need so newt'. * * Then again most of the rankest weeds and the wild grasses have ceased to grow, so that your new grass isn't handicapped by their competition, nor is there the danger of scorching that comes when extra hot early summer weather follows too soon after your spring seeding. * * For a good lawn the best seed bed is six to eight inches of loamy topsoil with plenty of organic nat- ter dug into the fill or subsoil un- derneath. Although preparing such a bed may seem like a lot of un- necessary labor and expense—and even though occasionally good lawns are started on shallower lay- ers of subsoil or clay—the quick and permanent results stake the ex- tra trouble well' worth while. * * * Before starting a new lawn it might be well to have the soil test- ed to find out whether or not lime is necessary. If it is, raw pulverized limestone or agricultural lime is better than builders line. And whether lime is needed or not, and regardless of the appearance of the topsoil, for really fine grass you should apply fertilizer. YOUR► ; . TING Y R/ This week's illustration shows graphic signs of tactfulness and gives an interesting study of per- sonality. Intuition is the basis of a tactful personality and this is shown in the scrip by the breaks between the letters where time pen was lifted. Compactness of the letters clear- ly indicates that tnttoh feeling is put into the writing, and the sharpness of most of the letters is a sign of the rapid mental activity. The cap- ital letters emery independence, but not vanity. The strokes of the letter 't" show humor and tenacity. To stun up, it may be said that there is sensitiveness of feeling for others in the slope of the writing, witft intuition to sense the impor- tant mportaut features of a situation. There is humour, alertness of mind to meet new and varied conditions, and tenacity to hold to principles and ideals. hit a brief analysis of your char- acter .rend a sample of handwriting, with a stamped, self-addreq,d tittP lope, to Alex S.

It's extracted from fruits in which' it is most plentiful for, better, quicker, easier jam and jelly making, 1. Short boil — That's why, when you use Certo, you don't have to "boil down" your fruit to make it set. A one -to -two -minute full, rolling boil is enough for jams... a half-minute--to-a-minute for, jellies. 2. Extra yield — The short Certo boil saves all the precious fruit juice which, in long boiling, goes off in steam. You get an extra yield of $0,% more jars; or, jelly. 3. Saves time, work—What a lot of time and'workitsaves, too! The old long -boil way you'd have to boil and stir many times as long. 4. Fresh fruit flavour — (colour — With Certo you use fruit at its peak of flavor and colour and not the under -ripe fruit used in long - boll recipes. The Certo boil is too short to spoil this lovely taste and colour. They stay, right in gout jam or jelly. 5. No failures --You'll liave no failures if you follow exactly the recipes provided with Certo.
