CHATTER BOX
Between midnight and dawn every
creature is making their creeps—
Darktown is overcrowded with cats
holding on to their joy juice and
.'hies holding on to their cats—boy!!!
C.Jiff and Johnnie Mae are cookin’ |
something up and it’s smellin’ awful j
fishy — wonder have they got the
same idea—all others get when that I
Jove bug hi*e«5?

quite frequently on 24th and Grant.

Kang Kang!!! Chatter Kox was a
little late for the Sunday school pic
nic but was there for the evening
snack. Well, first of all—the couples
were in the lanes, of course—now the
fights—first 1 heard Anna Mae and
some fountain lady had it bad and it
wasn’t good at the end. Johnnie
Fasion and some other cat was going'

Hi soldier—Tiothy McNeal is back
or shall I say Pvt. Timothy, he looks
fine and I don’t eman maybe.
Girls!!! Did you hear about the
Tuxedo? If not you won’t need to so
if your man used to hang there don’t
look for him there now. Ask Skipper
—Charles Sims—Fred Lee, J. C. La
Rue (feet) and others. They’ll tell
you. And who wasn’t caught makin’
a window through the back Hay
F. B.?
Late But Straight
All the chics have the style now of
wearing ties around their head. The
style is strictly the lick. But we must
add that the style don’t look very
well in dress outfit. It’s very becom
ing to sports.
Martliarine Newbon has gone back
to Hot Springs. And are missed by
many.

torch for Uncle Sam.

Shovels coated with melted paraf
fin overcome the annoyance of wet

saves the extra effort necessary to
knock snow off the shovel. To apply
the treatment to your shovel, just
heat the shovel enough to melt the
paraffin, then rub it on. Do not
overheat the metal.
Cooking Fish
Moderate rather than high tem
peratures should be the rule regard
less of the cooking method used for
fish. This applies even to steaks
and fillets, which are frequently
broiled. Brush them with melted
fat, turn them once only and avoid
overcooking, which usually results in
dryness and loss of flavor.

THE ABBE’ WALLACE SERVICE
l*OST OFFICE BOX II —e ATLANTA. (BEORG1A
M. R. D.—I read your column ev
ery week and I enjoy it very much.
I am a woman with three children,
two by my married husband who
died seven years ago and one by the
man I am with now. Our little girl is
four years old. It deesn r took like he
cares for me. I am a hard working
woman, I work out and come home
at night and work late but he finds
fault with everything I do. There
just isn’t any pleasing him at all. He
calls me names and says I am no
good and at times he doesn’t even
speak to me. I don’t have any bad
habits, don’t so out nights. I love my
children and my home and try to do
right. I pay all my bills as he gives
me no money at all. Now I am tired
of this kind of life. What must I do?
Ans.: The appalling fact in your
case is that he is overhwelmingly fed;
up. The glamour has worn off and the
union no longer holds any appeal for
him. There was no marriage bond be
tween you two and there is no way
for you to hold him once his interest
wanes. If he does not shoulder any
responsibility, contributing to the up
keep of the home or his child, there
is no point in your allowing him to re
main there and tolerating his sneers
and sarcasm. There is seldom any
true happiness realized when a couple
shuns legal marriage vows.
M. M.—I have been going with a
girl for quite awhile. I thought I
loved her but I learned better. I am
now seeing a girl who says she loves
me and I know I love her. I told the
other girl I quit but I had to take it
back. She said she would tell her
mother and dad who knows me and
seems to like me. These two girls
keep me in a jam all the time. The
present girl seems to think I’m two
timing her. What am I to do?
Ans.: Getting intently serious and
deeply involved with two local girls
will put any. man in a jam ... so
deeply that it will be hard to wiggle
out. If you no longer care for the
first girl, you had better settle that
■ issue before you go any further with
the new love. You made ardent love
to her and led her on and quite nat
urally she believed herself to be the
only apple of your eye. You can’t
brush her aside with indifference . . .
you will have to handle her tactfully.
Save her pride by letting her down
easily. When this affair is finished,
you can then resume your interest in
the new girl.
E. C.—My boy friend is overseas
and I write him often but he doesn’t
hear as often as some of his friends
there. What can I do about it?
Ans.: The fastest mail service be
tween civilians and the boys overseas
is V-Mail. These forms may be ob
tained at any stationery counter or
dnig store. Write your friend cheer
ful letters often and send them V
Mail.
P. L. W.—I have been going with
a man 5 years and he tells me he
loves me and says he is not married.
But he lives with another woman and
has been married and separated for
six years. This man says he wants to
marry me and I am wondering if he
loves me or is he just passing off
time?
Ans.: What chance have you with a
man who has an estranged wife and
also a temporary wife? You are just
another plaything as far as he is con
cerned . . . something to occupy his
spare time. This man is much too old
for you even if he were free to offer
you his love. Put him out of your life
permanently and encourage more de-1
sirable friendships.
