Perhaps you have found it difficult
to keep the little one’s leggings from
slipping down. Try this method. Sew
two straps of elastic to the back of
the leggings. Have them long enough
to cross at the back, pass over the
little shoulders and reach to the
front. Use snaps for fastening them
at the front to the legging?.

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 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?”

Don’t “Experiment”
With the Purchase
of a Radio Set
* *
I
* * . -j. -
The market is flooded with Radio equipment—
good, bad and indifferent. 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.
