STUFFED SWEET PEPPERS

Here are a few hints for thme who use enamelledware: Do not strike it sharp blows; do not strain by twisting the handles; do not clean it with gritty substances; do not wash it while hot; do not ex- pose it to intense heat when col/d; do not dash cold water into a hot utensil; in short, treat it'as you would treat glass. When you buy a new piece of enamelware, be- fore using -fill it with lukewarm water, place over p, flame and let water come to a bubbling boil. Empty and allow to cool ‘slowly.

. Get married as soon as you can. ment that has lasted four years has lasted o0 long and if you add three more years of waiting to it, it will just peter out through sheer discouragement. Your love promises are overdue. It's time you made good on them. If everybody waited to marry until cvcry single circumstance connected with it was all lake, there would be very few weddings. You have to take a. chance 0n nlarriegc as you do on

Don't let the debt keep you apart, for you will be a. help instead of a hindrance to your husband in paying it off. For one reason, your hus- band will be able to concentrate upon his Job better than he does now, when his thoughts are torn between love and longing and his business. He'll feel settled and that ho has a. wife to work for and it will put fresh Very few men ever really achieve any- thing before marriage, it's after marriage that they become 5v

Also, courtship is a very expensive business and it is money in a man's pocket when he can cut out the high cost of loving and not have to put up for theatres and movies, and flowers and presents and the other inci- dentals 2p taking the girl friend out and giving her a good- time.

Of course, in the old days when girls were helpless little darlings who knew nothing about money except how to spend it, a man did well to con- sider long and carefully about the advisability of marrying unless he was sure that he would always be able to support his wife in the style in which she had been accustomed to live, but in these modern times practically every girl has some trade or profession by which she can earn her own bread and butter if necessary, the dread of what will become of Mary if he should lose his money or if he should die has been lifted from the hus- He knows that Mary would go back to her old Job or would find something else to do and be quite comfortable and happy, thank you.

Of course, having to live with your problem and nobody can tell you how to solve that. a mother-in-law, and especially one who is bossy and who 1s already in- stalled as the mistress of her son's house, is going to call for the patience of Job, the humility of Griselda and the finesse of a diplomat and, alas, few young women are possessed of these qualities.

One or the other of two courses are open to you. The easiest is not to try to dislodge the autocrat from her throne. Let her go on running Tne advantage of this procedure is that it will save friction because no old woman who is an expert cook and who has managed a house for thirty years is going to give way peacefully to any chit of an inexperienced girl, no matter if she is her son's wife.

Watching Bill's profile, Ann wondered what he thought of her, if, in fact, he had thought of her at all since they left the apart- ment. Nothing hehad done or said had revealed anything more than the casual sort of interest any man might have shown in any girl who had commandeered his services as a skirt-seeing guide. '

Bhe slid her arm along the back or the seat and let her fingers rest lightly on his shoulder. Bill kept his eyes on the road.

"What is it you don't like about me Bill?"

"What?" His eyes came around for a moment, then looked ahead again. “You're all right, as 1g;- a; .I know," Bill said.
