Since yor know how your husband feels about your dancing with
other fellows, why don~t you stay?
It is much easier to say a polite
~No, thank you,~ than it is to patch

up a black eye. He, perhaps, does
not mind your dancing with some
of his friends, so just stick to him
and them.

It is hard to tell when a man
beats you, if he loves you. I know
it is humiliating to. you and he is
a blackhearted coward. He is taking advantage of you because, no~
matter how large or small he is,
you have no strength to defend
yourself against him. Some of them
regret it soon after and some of
them keep on beating you. So, if
you intend to stay with him, it is

It~s never too early to promote
habits that build physical and mental. qualities that contribute toward the composition of a beautiful woman. Habits formed in childhood continue all through life,
sometimes, and this statement is
particularly true of untidiness.
Even a little child should be
taught to hang up her nighty, put
away her comb and brush, scrub
her teeth night and morning, use
the orangewood stick under the
eaves of her fingernails, There may

She should have playmates in the
