HE. RELAXED and sank to the
floor, his breath going in a long
gasp: He was weak and wet with
sweat. He stayed crouched and bent,
hearing the sound of his breathing
filling the darkness. Gradually, the
intensity of his -sensations subsided
and he was aware of the room. He
felt that he had been in the grip

* of a weird spell and was now free.

The fingertips of his right hand
were pressed deeply into the soft
fibers of the rug and his whole
body vibrated from the wild pounding of his heart..He had to get. out
of the room, and quickly. Suppose
that. had been Mr. Dalton? Hig
escape had been narrow enough, @s
it was. _

He-$tood. and: listened, Mr. Dalton: might be out there in the ~hallway.

How. could he get out of the room?
He all but shuddered with the intensity of his loathing for this
house and all it had made him feel
since he had first come into it
He. reached his hand behind him
and touched the wall; he was glad
to have something solid at his back
He looked at the shadowy bed anu
remembered Mary as some person

~ he had not seen in a long time. She

was still there. Had he hurt her?
He went to the bed and stood over
her; her.face lay sideways on the
pillow.

His hand moved toward her, bit
stopped in mid-air. He blinked his
eyes.and stared at Mary~s face; it
was.darker than when he had first
bent over her. Her mouth was open
and~her eyes bulged glassily.. He:
bosom, her bosom,~her~her boson:

was hot moving! He could not hear |

her breath coming and going now
as he had when he had first brought
her into the room! He bent and
moved her head with his hand and
found that she was relaxed and
limp. He snatched his hand away

columns and I decided that I

have three days of time. She was a| would like to write to you. I~m in
crazy girl anyhow. She was always | jove with a lady and I am buying

her a suit of furniture. Do you
think it will be, necessary. Jor me

People would think that she was to keep paying on it-or quit?

Ans: Didn~t you buy the furniture
and have it sent out to her? Then,
it seems to me that it is your duty
to finish paying for it. If you don't,
I doubt seriously if your lady friend

| will spend any more of her time

with you. You actually bit off more
than you could chew....if you feel
you cannot pay for the furniture
you had better be man enough to
tell her so and ask her assistance
but don~t just stop paying on the
suit altogether as it will make her

|angry with you.

i trunk. Could he get her in? He}!

Worried. My husband and I have
been staying with his father and
~mother. I have tried to make him
get us a small place alone but he
wants to get a larger house so we
can all live together. Help me ta
decide what is best to do? g

Ans: Your husband doesn~t seem
to know how to adjust his life in
order to live without his parents.~
| He is a good man and my suggestion
|in your case is to allow him to get
'a large place and bring his parents
to live under your roof ~.... but-..
-.,..insist upon one thing. That is
to have separate quarters so you
can entertain your friends and have
your own kitchen. It will be a joy to
live with them if you follow this
rule.

| R.C. A. ~ Iam a boy who wants
to go to a fine Eastern College. Now

I understand that it will cost me

about nine hundred dollars and I |

will have to work and my parents
will have to help me, Should I try
for this college? 4 i

Ans: By all means, try to get a
college education but don~t step out
of your class. If you entered in this

eastern college you wouldn~t have |

the money to keep up with the other
fellows who have money. Arrange
to take your college trainjng right
there in your home state and I as- |
sure you that in the long run you.
will be better off and mighty proud
of yourself too..

G. R. ~Please consider this problem as it is of great importance to
me. Has my wife committed any
unclean act with anyone since our
marriage? I want your help badly.

Ans: You know very well that
she hasn~t. Before you will ever find
happiness and contentment with
your fine wife you are going to
have to learn to control your jealous disposition. Jealousy alone has
wrecked more happy marriages than
any other thing. You had better
start appreciating your wife.for her
very fine virtues and stop trying
to find something wrong.
