And when you fell in * love, that should have warned * you to stop seeing her at all. * She is still married, you know. * Whether she and her husband '* quarrel over you is not material; * but it is important that you realize how hard he can make * things for you both. * You cannot be sure that site * really loves you. Pity is akin * to love, and it may be she is only " so sorry for you. On her part, * you provide a sympathetic ear to * pour her troubles into, and she finds some comfort in that, 4' But— * How world you feel if YOU * were her husband, and site was * confiding her marital troubles to another man? Could you ever * trust her again — and wouldn't * you despise the man who was * trying to break up your mar- * riage? * No matter what difficulties 1' arise between husband and wife, * it is not loyal nor right to speak * of them to anyone else—partic- ularly to one who has confessed * affection for your The chances * are that this girl would be as * false to you as she is to hitn. * I ant sorry for you in your r' physical misfortune, But 1 urge 4' you not to further complicate * your life by getting entangled * with a girl who already has a 4 husband.

How You Can Really Dry -Clean Absorbent powders — chalk, tal- Cum, corn meal, cornstarch—work well on light, freshly made stains such as grease spots or splatters of salad oil. Also such powders brush off readily and are safe to use on alt materials. This method is not always successful, however, if the stain is very large or has become set or dry. To remove a stain with an absorbent powder. lay the stained article on a table and sprinkle a layer of the powder over the stain. Spread the powder around, and when it becomes gummy, shake or brush it off. Repeat this several times, or until the staid disappears. If after several treatments the stain still shows, plane the stain between clean blotting papers and apply e warm (not hot) iron for several min- utes. Stains made by solid fats, such as butter, must be melted before the blotters can absorb them. Yuri ,. sinlp,c 5,11rilet. 101111 cant to make a pair to go wash all your suite. and coats!

Stable" Really Was A Cave The "stable" in which Christ was born does not conform] to the modern conceptions of the word. In Biblical tines, places of shel- ter were hewn in rocky ledges; Judean travellers, frequently housed in such caves, welcomed joint ten- ancy with beasts because of the extra warmth provided by animals' bodies.
