I couldn't seem 10 settle down, until I met and mar- ried the man who is now my husband. He is loyal, good and kind; I could not ask for a bet- ter husband, and I love him dearly. But he has no ambition. "He doesn't mind the three of us living in a furnished two - room apartment, surrounded by neighbors who are not good for my little girl, He and she are often at each other's throats, be• cause they are both jealous con- eerning me. I sympathize with her. and she seems so neglected in important ways. "Her own father is ambitious, and a very good provider. (He Is really a kind person, but I just never cared for hint), My daughter loves him very much, and he can give her the things that are rightfully hers. "This past summer we visited him. I haven't been happy since. I keep remembering the good home and the advantages my child would have. The child her- self begs to go back to hint. "Must I give up the man 1 love for my child:' Or watch - her grow up here, and perhaps later to hate me? I could go back to her father any time, his door is open; but I hate to close my present door behind me, it seems like giving up part of my life • I'm afraid I don't have the intelligence to do what is right. Thank you for your help.

It a girl is to be married to a man who has been married previously, is it proper for her to have a big wedding, wear a white gown and veil? A. Certainly, The fact that her bridegroom has been mar- ried before does not alter the fact that this is the girl's first wedding. If, however, she has been married previously, she should not have a big wedding nor wear white. . Q. When you are a guest at a small dinner party, and a dish is served that you particularly dislike, what should you say? A. Better say nothing at all. Instead, accept •:i small portion and at least pretend to eat it. Q. It 15 proper to leave a tip in a tea room when one is wait- ed on by the owner herself? A. No; this is not necessary- irl this instance. Q. When a girl is attending a party or a dance with a young man, isn't she privileged to sug- gest that they go home at a reasonable hour? A. Yes. This is not only her privilege, but her duty, as the man should not suggest it. How- ever, she should be thoughtful enough not to suggest leaving when the affair is only half over. Q. Is it proper for a woman to retain her coat in a nightclub, instead of checking It? A. Yes; it mas• be slipped over the back of her chair. Q. Is it proper for a man to ase the "double -sheet" type' of stationery for his eorrespond- ence? A. Although this is ail right, the single -sheet type is gener- ally preferred by men, Q. What should a person say when another asks, "Guess how old 1 am"? A. It usually would be bet- ter to guess a few years younger than you really think, or say, "I am seldom correct in guessing ages," You might say "Fifty" to a woman of fort; . and thereby spoil a beautiful friendship Q. When jelly is served on the dinner plate, how is it meant to be eaten? A. With the toric. as it roes with the treat. Q. In a double - ring cere- mony, who makes the first pres- entation of his ring, the bride or the bridegroom" A. The bride ieceire., her ring fust, then present• the bridegroom with his. Q. What is the proper time to pass olives, pickles and cel- ery at the dinner table? A. Dewing the soup . nurse. Present From The Past—More than 2000 years ago these pottery wine jars were aboard a cargo ship which sank to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of France. Today, rescued, they are being examined by pretty Ann Lunceford of the National Geographic Society. HRO ICLES ¶3INGERFARM The only ane around here who had a new Easter bonnet was Partner — and his was not quite the kind of bonnet that would be worn in an Easter parade. You see, this bonnet was used instead of a bandage to keep dressings in place over a huge carbuncle very nicely situated right on the back of Partner's neck, Anyone Who knows any- thing about carbuncles will realize that the last four weeks have been anything but pleasant what with pain, lack of sleep and frequent dressings. The area surrounding the carbuncle was so tender Partner could not stand having the dressings taped on so I invented a bonnet, or rather two bonnets, with holes to let the ears through 'and strings to tie under the chin. So Partner has been wearing e. bonnet for the last three weeks. night and day. Now he has got so used to it that if people come in unexpectedly he forgets to ex- plain what he is wearing it for. No doubt it arouses considerable comment. However. in a day or two the bonnet can be dispensed with. thank Goodness. This car- buncle has been a long drawn out affair, Penicillin prevented the spread • of infection but did nothing to hasten the healing process. In fact the doctor didn't want it hurried — said the main thing with a carbuncle is tc keep it open and free from further infection. Actually I am telling you about the bonnet because I have a feeling it might be worth- while information to anyone who has to deal with similar trouble, or with any hind of wound on the head that i:° diffi- cult to bandage. A bonnet. fitted snugly to the head, especially at the neck, will hold any pad or dressing comfortably in place The first one 1 made was of flannelette, the second from an old elastic stocking, bound at the neck, with ends left tor ty- ing. This was the better of the twee and even met with the doc- tor'c apprpval. So now I am thinking of applying for a patent! Well, it looks as if the third generation has started to arrive. Our niece Bat: presented her small world with a daughter last week. I think Baba herself weighs a little tens than a hun- dred pound c, and the baby weighed just over seven pounds, so it shouldn't take Caro' Ann too long to catch up. to her toolbar. Mother and daughter — and even father - are doing fine, so I imagine everyone is happy. I suppose this event makes Partner and I a great- uncle and great-aunt — not quite so good as being grandparents but next thing to it. Isn't it wonderful to see spring "bustin' out all over"? The wheat is green, birds 'mating, .frogs singing, calves arriving, spring flowers budding, rosy -red crowns of rhubarb showing, lawns and flower beds badly in need of raking, farmers getting things ready for spring -seeding, houswives busily houscleaning and the kindly sun warming everything animate and inani- mate, Or rather. nearly- every- thing. Warming an insulated house is something the stun, can- not do. For winter and summer insulation is grand — in winter the heat stays in; in summer it stays out. But in spring and fall insulation isn't so good -- with- out some stove or furnace heat the house is decidedly chilly. So folks, if you had your house in- sulated last fall save the chips from the woodpile this spring for the old kitchen stove. You:II be glad if you do, But the joys' and sorrows of insulation are as nothing com- pared With air-conditioning — or so we are told. We had friends visiting us last week who have spent the last six weeks in their aori s air-coedi- tioned city home. They didn't like it one bit. They said there was a noticeable current of air on the move all the time from which it was impossible to es- cape. So father eventually de- veloped a severe attack of neur- algia, and his only refuge from draughts was in bed. There he stayed until the neuralgia had run its course. We were talk- ing about it this week -end when Daughter and Art were here and Dee immediately said — "Yes, I know exactly what it ie like. We had air-conditioning in one big office where I worked and I had one .cold after another as long as I stayed there." Maybe pioneer mothers were not so hard done by after all when they worked all summer in the back kitchen with the woodstove going. Uncomfortably warm no doubt„ but at least they were free of colds. As for me, I'll take a happy medium — in- sulation, minus air-conditioning and hot stoves. Coit Can Test en :astonishing Few re Extin k l her Buie at Our Risk !

The baby who is lovingly cad- died while being feel and is never' given a bottle in bed will not become the two- or three- year-old who screams nights for the comfort of a bottle. He'll be willingly weaned to a cup es soon as he begins to resent being held while eating. When solid foode are introduc- ed le small amounts the infant gradually learns to enjoy them..

No objections are in order till perfect mastery of food consump- tion le achieved, Concentration on one accomplishment et a time is enough. Froin the day of birth on a time limit should be set for every meal. The end of a half- hour period should also end the opportunity to eat, Strict adher- ence to this rule will prevent the problem of how to handle the child who dawdles, It is important to make meal times happy times. And here is how to do it, Three times each day provide a happy atmosphere by sharing the experience with your child, Enjoy each mealtime with him, "How can I," you .ask, "with housework to be done, meals to he fixed and older children de- manding attention? How can I 'enjoy" a half hour three •times daily while my youngest eats?"

"That's too much," said the widow, "I could give a pretty good talk for $100," said the minister reluctantly, "Nothing fancy, you understand, but no one will be able to doubt the solid virtues and endearing qualities of your late spouse." "That's still too much," said the widow, "Can't you give me any- thing for about $15?" "I suppose I can," admitted the minister, "but I must warn yolt that for that price I will have to tell the truth about him," YOUR CHILD MAY BE A VICTIM Sleeplessnighle, crossness and batwing may be signs of pinworms and Intestinal worms ,ugly parasites that infect children of all ages, leaving them run- down and nervous.
