We never prospered until lately, but we have always been in love and have always gone everywhere together. Neither of us got past high school, but he is kind to me, and has high ideals. He is, over 50, I am 42. "For over a year my husband has been closely associated hi business with a highly educated woman. I am very sure she is in love with him, and I'm afraid he is beginning to yield. He is not nearly so affectionate, and he is hard to get along with, and doesn't take me out often. I am not in too good health just now, and I am uneasy. I know that men of middle age some- times imagine themselves in love with younger women. To be truthful, this is driving . me so that I am actually afraid I will lose my mind. "I don't want to stand by and lose him now. I have thought of selling out and moving, letting him take whatever work he can get . . . I am careful of my ap- pearance, but you know it is easier for a woman with no home responsibilities to look her best at all times . . We have an adopted child of four, and we love her as our own. Soxne- times I believe it is only s'he. that is holding him to us now. If you can advise me, I'll try to do as you say. Wek' e Thrifty What to wear? Mom -to -be, don't worry!

You said my husband would realize how much he loves me. and he has. Everything is fine. "Here is a bit of advice I'd like to give other married cou- ples who don't get along: Go to church, and trust in God. I no- tice you often advise this, and I applaud you every time . . . That is what saved my mar- riage; I kept praying, and wait- ing for a change. Through my patience, my husband started going to church — and God made the change. "Keep up your good work. Your colunan is straightforward, and honest. I am a daily reader, and my husband also believes in you now; I doubt that he will ever miss anything you write.

Modern Etiquette • - Q. 1 have a very good friend . who is constantly making glarr ing errors of grammar in her speech. Wouldn't it be all right for me to attempt to eorreet her? A. I don't know bow close your friend is, but in many cases this would quickly end a "beautiful friendship." Strictly speaking, it is very rude to cor- rect another person's speech„ unless specifically reottested..te do so. Q. When a young woman ie seated at a table in a publio dining room and another woman stops at her table to chat for a minute, should the young woman rise? A. unles the w' ()marl who stops is elderly. Q. Is it all right to stack the dishes when ensaring a dinner table? A. No; the person who is clearing the table should take no nnre than one plate in each hand at a time. Q. When unfolding a napkin at the dinner table, , should it be above or below the table? A. Below the table. Q. Can you please tell me how to fold napkins into variants fancy designs? A. I could probably suggest a few "fancy" folds, but this practice is frowned upon by good society. It is far prefer- able to make a plain. square fold of the napkin. Q. Is it the man's or 'he woman's place to make the move to stop for conversation when they meet on the street? A. Either one may do this. Q. If there is to be no eater - Ing. service. engaged for a wed- ding reception, is it permissible to ask friends of the bride or bridegroom to hen) . out? A. This would depend upon how close these friends are and upon their personal reactions to such a request. Some people would consider it an honor to be asked, while others might think it an imposition. Q. Should tocthpicks be placed on the dinner table? A. Certainly not! Since it is not good form to be seen using a toothpick in public, they do not have any place on the table. Q. Is it correct for a roan to use the double -sheet type of stationery for his personal ear - respondence? A. While this is all right, men usually prefer the single sheet variety, AIN PIE 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 tablespoons BENSON'S or CANADA Corn Starch 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind cup CROWN BRAND Corn Syrup 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 cup water 2 cups raisins 2 tablespoons melted butter 1 recipe pastry MIX sugar, BENSON'S or CANADA Corn Starch, salt and lemon rind in saucepan.
