I Deaf Miss Allen: I am a young mother of three little boys and am very lonesome. My husband is pleas ant once in a while, but again he is not at all. His mother has moved to town for the winter and I certainly cio miss her. She was always pleats ant and thought a lot of me. Now T have'no one to care for me. I try to lie gentle and pleasant with my husband, but it is awfully hard. I don't feel angry by any means, but iny feeWhgs ajre hurt. T have every thing l want, hut. there U£ someone else wjio lias Lis love. As you may know ray liorhe is not pleasant, al though I try to make it happy for my children sp that they mu? ifave a good time. My husband deceives me in every way and drinks, too, al though he doesn’t get drunk, and I am thankful for that. He isn’t pleas ant, except when he has a drink. I have said I would leave him with the children, lint it would be hard for me to go somewhere and not know about them. Then I would always be wor rying. What would you advise me to do? He treuts my people as if they were dogs when they- come to visit me, ‘which is not often. He hasn't cause to do so, for he has not been treated that way at their home and neither have X treated tits people in such manner. I really do more for his people than mine. Lonesome mother, m. e. You wouldn’t be happy a minutef if you left.your home and children, and sp the only course for you to follow is to remain where you are and make the "best of tbe situation, realizing all the time that doing the best one knows how will bring good results sooner or later. Center your life ahout the children, ignoring as much ns possible your husband's unkind ness so that you will be able to keep harmony in the home. You will have to teach yourself to be unmoved by 1 Is conduct so that your spirit won't lie "broken. Probably you will find that your husband's l<*ve for the oth er woman is Infatuation. He may go from her to someone else. But I am confident as the years pass he will turn more and more to you and his family. By keeping very busy you can do much to blot out your loneli ness and unhappiness. In the eve nings read and write letters. You will also finds it reaps rich reward to repd and be a companion to the chil dren. The fact that you and your mother-in law mean so much to each other speaks well for you. It Is an argument that your husband is really at fault and that although there may lie two sides to the story liis side is weak. Young Man Asks Too Much. Wandering Jew: The man you love is asking loo much and giving too little. It is unfair for him to demand "'.steady company” and then attend public dances with other men. Also you are quite right in feeling- that he should not kiss you and forbid you to go with other young men un less he loveB you and asks you to marry him. I would advise yoti to tell him that you want to feel free to attend dances and to go with other girls if he wants to, and you want to be free to do the same since you are not betrothed. If he cares so little for you that he gives you up because of this, you may be sure that he would have dropped you sooner or later anyway. A .ViiVa by" • ' _ Cfldele (?arrisd%* [A Possible Marriage Worries Marion Greatly. If there he anything more naively sweet than the serious concern of a young girl about the affairs of her eiders, I do not know what it is. Marlon's eyes, beautiful, long lashed. were almost wistful, tearful, as they met mine, and I made the mental comment that the old-fash ioned writers of the Virtoriifh era were not so far wrong when they compared eyes like this winsome child’s to "pansies drenched in dew.” I put her in a low chair beside the Are and drew another up opposite to her. I did not cuddle her as I ordi narily would have done, for Instinc tively I felt that in her attitude to ward her mother's problem, at least, it was not a little girl who faced me, hut a woman. Immature, groping, hut sincere and I meant to offer her the courtesy of "grownup” treatment. “I’m afraid my advice won't be worth much, dear,” I said, “especially about Uncle Robert Suvarin, hut I’ll do the best I can. What is it that troubles you especially?” She hesitated, looking at the rug pattern in an attitude that reminded me irresistibly of her mother. ”1 don't know just how to tell you, Auntie Madge. It goes way back to the time when I was a wee hit of a girl and didn’t have my mother. You know.” A Tragic Recollection. Did I know? Ah! I looked at her with eyes that suddenly saw some thing far beyond the room in which we were sitting. I saw her mother and myself facing each other in the wonderful brown-toned library of Lil lian Underwood's New York apart ment and heard Lillian’s voice, rau cous yet wonderfully controlled, re vealing the tragedy of her life, with I Marion's father, Tom Morton. Because she had been too high minded to drag an innocent boy. Dicky, into the trap set for him by the unspeakable cad who called her wife, she had taken the alternative given her by Tom Morton, nnd given the custody of her idolized child to him. I could see Lillian crossing the room to a wall safe, and taking from it the miniature of an exquisite little creature, Marion in babyhood, and with my contemplation of the agony that was hers in being shut away from her little daughter. I had aur rendered every bit of prejudice against Lillian, acknowledging that not even to keep faith and honor clear, could 1 have made a aimllar sacrifice. Witness of her long immolation away from the child, it was also my privilege to he present at the wonder ful reunion which Torn Morton's death, and his belated confession of his treachery,-brought to the mother heart so long bereft. And almost all of the time since that day, I had been able to watch with Lillian over the child who by the kindly intervention of fate appeared to be all her moth er's, a duplicate in miniature of keen br.».in, beautiful soul, lovely face and body, with no traces of h?r treacher ous father in her. With a start I brought myself back to the wide-eyed girl facing me. "Forgive me, Marion," I said con tritely. “You took tne back years. Remember, I knew your mother when she did not have you.” * • "Then you know how she suffered," she said quickly, "but I tjon't believe anybody can ever know how bad I used to feel' as a little tot without my mother. I used to cry and cry. I've been thinking a lot about that old time this month. I suppose It’s because she's never been gone so long before that It brings lwck that old lonely time. And I've been thinking —you know how when I was smaller I used to love Uncle Robert Savarin so, and want mother to marry him. so J'd have a really truly father like other girls?” "Y'es, Marion," T answered softly, because she paused for an answer, but afraid to disturb the current of thought which was bearing her along. “I Shall Be Going.” "Well, I don’t know! I wonder If I’m terribly selfish. Sometimes I think It would be lovelier just out two selves. And something tells me inside here"—she put her hand to her heart—“that mother feels that way, too. But of course I may be mis taken. Another thing, I shall be go ing away ' to school pretty soon. Mother can’t have me tutored for ver, you know, so as to keep me pith her, and then she'll be all alone. "If I were absolutely sure she'd be tappier with Uncle Robert than she 4 now, I wouldn't care about iny elf,” the sweet troubled voice went n, "but sometimes, especially this ist year, and since Uncle Robert has leen in Kurope, I’.ve been wondering. ,Vhat dp you think. Auntie Madge? Jo you think she'd be happier mar led to him?” Some of these Hip Sings, Song Sings, Little Sings, Big Sings and other varieltles of Chinese tongs should try our Sing Sing for a w hile, —Providence Journal. _ Buy Thorne Coat* W -e-d-n-e*s-d-a-y Be Satisfied With Nothing Less Than Thorne | Styles and Values F.

To “experiment” in the selection of a radio set is at the best expensive and uncertain. Realising that people were reluctant to ex periment in radio, we spent two years in searching the world for the highest develop ment in Radio perfection. In our search for the “best” we have discarded by comparison scores of instruments and have chosen two instruments that represent the highest dc- j velopment in Radio development and “measure up” to Brandt's standard in quality mer chandise. * ■ Thompson-Neutrodyne ! and Super-Zenith These instruments offer nation-wide range; ease of operation; ability to eliminate local broadcasting; nationally known quality; nat ural reproduction and beauty of appearance. Don't “experiment” in the purchase of a Radio Set. Come see these wonderful instrument* and enjoy genuine radio satisfaction and the knowledge that the instrument you select will be Brandt standard in quality.
