When we first announced our en-~ gagement all my friends were aston- ished (1 am considered fine looking). We planned to have a big wedding. But as the day approaches I cannot bring myself to invite more than his parents and my immediate family. I just could not endure a chance re- mark about his deformity. Don't you think a quiet wedding Bi toupee be in a ueder taste? >. or PATTY. Answer: ; it seems to me Patty, that wai are decidedly over sensitive concerning your fiance's slight deformity. "A man's a man for 2' that." Do not allow your friends to think that you Bre ashamed of your life partner. You 'are arranging to travel through life with this man in spite of his physical condition. Why not show the world (and especially him) that your love - for each other is all that matters. No matter what clever excuse you make, your lover will guess the miser- able truth. So take my advice and cae. out your first plan. ' _ INA ST. JOHN. eee Peat: Miss St. John: : - May I-tell my sad story and profit ay: your good advice? | ~I am past middie age and my two 'sons are married. When the younger boy left home, I visited a Children's Home and adopted a bright little girl. 'I know nothing of her parentage. f became as proud and as fond of Elva as any woman could be of her . own flesh and blood. I gave her every ad- + vantage, and kept her beautifully S dressed. 'She soon became very wilful ~~ snd disobedient, and at fifteen I can truthfully say that I had no authority schon her. She was pretty and popular with a certain wild set. She soon gave up her school work and her music and devoted herself to the pursuit of : _ pleasure. I realized that I had lacked _. firmness. But I was so fond of her I - persuaded myself that she would soon tire of such a useless life and settle down to a normal girlhood. It was nothing unusual for Elva to come home at daybreak disgustingly intox- - icated. When she was sixteen she married a man many years older than herself. I was very glad to see her || "settle down" as I thought. They went to live in a' large city, and we did not gee them for sin mths. Then Elva came home for stmas. 'She_laugh- ed gaily at my as onishment when I saw that she carried in her arms 4 sweet baby boy. This is your gift} Mother, she said lightly. I was filled with pity for the mite for I could see that Elva was a very indifferent mother. So I took her at her word sixteen perched on a young man's mother comes home or writes asking me to bring the boy in to see her, She says she is living with her husband but I doubt it. For when I take Jack in to see his mothershe never asks to us her home but takes us to a restaurant for dinner. Now this is my problem. Was I wrong in taking Jackie? What will be the outcome of him when I am gone? It would break my heart to lose him but sometimes I feel that I should force Elva to care for him. What is my best course, Miss St. John? JACKIE'S GANNY. Answer: You are paying dearly for spoiling Elva. But it is too iate (by many years) to win her back. I would _not advise ycu to force her to take charge of the child. For she would not be kind to him. But encourage her -to see the boy as often as possible. And as she grows older she may come to love him as she should. se as ST.

The furnishing scheme used in stereo-typ- ed, employing commonplace suites of furniture, mcnotonously similar, unin- teresting curtains at the windows, and rugs selected for use without much thought for beauty.

It is of ceurse true that in every room designed primarily for sleep the bed should have first attention. Care should be taken that the mattress is | of the best grade, the springs strong | in such a manner that there is no pos- | sibility of annoying squeaks or rat-| pensable in the well furnished bed- | room, but the selection of the other | furnishings of the room with regard | to line and color seems of almost eq- | ual importance. COLOR Color, especially, should be given serious attention in making plans for a truly satisfactory bedroom, Light, cheerful hues are recommended, with rose, apricot and yellow as the high colors in favor. Many a case of morn- ing blues has been dispelled even on a rainy day by the effect of sunlight given by the dull light filtering through sheer organdy curtains of fresh and delicate color. * * * MACAROON CUSTARD 11-2 cups scalded milk, 3 eggs Sg 1-3 cup sugar 4 macaroons, rolled into crumbs. 1-2 cup Sun- Maid Raisins 1 teaspoon vanilla 1-2 cup whipped cream. , Scald milk in a double boiler; beat | eggs slightly, add sugar gradually. | Pour hot milk over the mixture and 1-2 Ib. lady fingers.
