Best to Stick to 0 d Wife

Dear Miss Dix—I am a man 50 years old. Have a good wife and six CIIIIUTBII. but I have fallen in love with a girl much younger than 1 am and says that if I don t free myself from my wile and marry her She w,1l kill herself. I_ believe she will do this if silie cannot get me because she has aircativ tried suicide once. She vows the will take poison again if 1 do not glVE up my wife and home and marry her. so what can I do to save her life and yet not wreck my home? A MAN IN TROUBLE.

Sniartness for the woman who must wawh dollars depends lil- most as much can careful planning and “preparedhes" as on taste.

So ff you haven't alieacw taken all of last winter's clothes from the closet, gone over them to see if they should be shortened or fit- ted. need new belts, etc-do it to day.

By now you should have at least three wearable outfits, and if you haven't. it is time for you to get busy.

These should include a 3111f, or tialored dress for street wear, with appropriate aooescnes.

An evening dress (it might be last year's) and everything, includ- |1n8. Perhfillfi. s. new piece of jewel- ery to make it seem very much this year's, to go with lt,

And. of course. you musn't forget to have ready for cxktail parties or teas and informal dinners a rather dressy, street length dress with all the accessories.
