HOME IS BEST "Dear Anne Hirst: We have been married five years and have three wonderful children. Everything has gone beautifully for us all—until now, when I ant so confused I'm almost crazy. "Recently I stet again a man was in love with until my family made us part. 3 find I rave never really gotten over him. What on earth am I to do? CONFUSED" • Do what you know is right. You cannot separate your " ohildren from their father, • nor can you deliberately leave • him. The lives of you all would be blighted, and. as the cause of it, you would take an a ter- " rifle responsibility. * When we marry. we :top - living for eurseives and begin " living far others. We have no * right •to seek a new personal " happiness when we know that others must pay for it. Temp- " tad as you are, you will pray o for strength to resist. and take on your rightful job as you o must see it if you are b'/:'g • hones wit!. yourself. • Being good May be dsih for " a while. but I :yew of no surer road to peace. Wheu a busy mother rea- lizes she has no oue on whom she can depend for help in her domestic schedule, somehow she arranges a routine that sees her through.

When Mussolini, on the run, was planning his northward flight he drew a thousand mil- lion lire, then worth about 36, 000,000, from the bank at. Milan. He also took with him, according to the Italian press, treasure which included over a hundred- weight of gold, sixteen trillion French francs, 200,000 Swiss francs, an unspecified amount in pounds sterling, both paper and gold, plus dollars, Spanish pes- etas and Portuguese escudos, The gold was not only in bars and pieces -but scrap, some com- prising gifts made by the Ital- ians to the state treasury, inclu- ding rings and all kinds of jewei- lery. What happened to this vast treasure which tras stored in the cars of the column held up by partisans first at Mu so and Don - go, then at the Ponte del Passo? What became of important docu- ments and other materials which Mussolini feverishly prepared and collected for his defence be- fore any war -crimes tribunal he might have to face? All com- pletely vanished. Their where- abouts is still a mystery. Roman Dombrowski in "Mus- solini: Twilight and Fall"' says that Mussolini shared mut part of the cash among his Fascist companions. "Renzo," the par- tisan who wrote an account of those dramatic last days before he, too, vanished, stated that the partisans found 10 million Swiss francs in Liverani's car. 36 mil- lion lire in Bombacei s, and 35 kilogrammes of bar gold in the possession of the alleged ''Span- ish ambassador." who could not speak Spanish and was thought to be Marcello Petacci, the brother of Mussolini's last mis- tress, who tvato die with him.

She, too, vanished and her body was eve.ttualiy found in Lake Como. Some gold and currencies were concealed in the German cars with the column. When the Dango partisans searched them they were chiefly concerned with checking the Germans' identities, and the discovery of Mussolini in a lorry caused some excitement and ,confusion. So when 'Major Kritz's column left Dongo it still held part of the treasure, At Domes° two German naval officers from one of the lorries asked two women if there was any trustworthy person in the town whom they could consult. They were directed to Hoff- mann's villa, where they handed him 33 kilogrammes of gold and 3d million lire. Feeling unsafe with so much wealth in his house, Hoffman transferred part of it to the 52nd Brigade's com- mander. "Pedro" deposited it in the Dongo bank, notifying his superiors. On May 8th he was instructed to transfer it to the Como com- mand, and the partisan entrusted with the message and the task of taking it there was this same "Petro Gatti' (real name Mi- chele Moretti), who gave 'Pe- dro" a receipt for it, But "Gatti" failed to reach Como. At the end of the following May "Gatti" was found in Milan. In view of the notoriety sur- rounding the treasure, he said he had thought it proper to hand it to "ante higher commander. He never produced the re- ceipt, and although the case was referred to the Italian police, to this day it is not publicly known what had happened to "Gatti," nor in whose name he acted. Another partisan, Luigi Ca- nali, known as Captain "Keri," was shot in the head on May 8. Evidently he was opposed to all this sleight of heed with the treasure, and was eliminated as a traitor. After Mu_sso:in. s death a fur- ther document case was found at the Villa Montero, Como, where his wife Rae/tele had stay- ed with the children. It con- tained documents and nineteen gem -studded Italian and foreign orders which had been conferred o- him. This was the only trea- Great -Grandma Serves Dessert ^ While the preparation 01 soups, joints, and gravies is left to ruder and stronger hands, the delicate fingers of the lady of the houehold, are best fitted to mingle the proportions of ex- quisite desserts. It is absolutely necessary to the economy of the household that this art should form a part of every lady's edu- cation, For these reasons we offer this book to the public. It will be found useful both by the rich and by those of more moderate means; the common mistake of giving none but ex- pensive receipts having been carefully avoided. Before entering upon our main subject we think it will not be out of place to offer a few remarks on that very im- portant subject, the arrange- ment of dishes with an eye to proper effect. On the style and elegance in which a dessert- table is spread, much of its suc- cess depends. In arranging the table, the greater number of handsome dishes and high stands that can be available the better, as glares fruits, com- potec, and confectionery look much handsomer when so dis- played that they could possibly do in low or flat dishes, Vases of natural flowers tastefully in- terspersed throughout the table heighten the effect, and should never be absent. It is consider- ed out of taste to mix cake, fruits, and bonbons on the same dish or stand: each hind should be grouped in its separate re- ceptacle, and these alternated on the table according as taste will suggest. Ices, of course, will be served moulded into pyramids or other effective forms; and there are numerous designs to be had which are highly artistic and' ornamental for iced pudding, jellies, and blancmange, all of whieh will add beauty and elegance to the table. Even with the most minute directions we can give, the artist must rely, after all, on his own taste as to the proper disposition and grouping of colors, shapes and sizes; but a little experience will enable him to produce the finest effects, which will well repay the trouble and study it may cost. — From "The Dessert Book,' by A Boston Lady, 18'73.
