Press sudsy water against the side of the basin. and rinse with the same gentle care in clear water of the same temperature using a hand- cupping motion. Roll and knead the sweater in a towel until it's as dry as possible thcn place it flat upon a fresh towel. Slip card- board body and sleeves inside and adjust gently in fit.

Stuttering is not a sign of backwardncss. The knowledgc that stuttering is seldom due to any,-defect of mouth or throat but simply to nervousness or self-con- sciousness should make its cure less difficult. Every large city (and some small ones too) has schools for speech correction. Their methods encourage the child to speak or read in front of others. use the telephone, mix with others. take part in plays. attend social gath- erings-the underlying aim being to render him less sclf-conscious. It might be well to repeat some rules for preventing and helping stuttering from an article by Miss Ruth Lewis. Sick Children's Hos- pital. Toronto, which appeared in Health some years ago. 1.

Should I act indifferent, say nothing to them but just lcave tihei-r presence and act as if nothing had happened? Or should I let them know that I know and make a. scene? Or Should I blame it on the woman and tell my husband that I do not blame 'n.m; that it was the woman's suit. and make believe I trust him? Or should I try to make him jealous by having a flirtation with another ANSWER: No woman ever confnmts a more diifficiilt problem than does the wife who discovers her husband making love to another woman. Her whole future and that of her ohildren is at stake. In no other crisis in her life will she need calm- . ncss and sureness of judgment with wisdom is guide her in making her decision as to whai in do about it. Yet how can she when her vision ll -. clouded by jealousy and when her heart is broken with the knowledge of- her husband's disloyalty? IS HE SERIOUS? Reviewing the suggestions that this wife makes as to the different lines of conduct it. wife might take. I should say that whether or not the wife acted indifferently when she caught her husband making love to nnoi.hei' woman would depend on hoiv seriously she thought he meant it. Many men who really love their wives are philanderers by nature and they can no more help making love to any good-looking woman who is handy than they can help breathing. I have knoitn many woznen with husbands like that who were sold to view their husbands flirtaiions with an Bimiused eye. and who were certainly better ollf and happier than they would have been if they had broken up their homes. divorced t-heir unstable husbands and half- orphaned their children. In any event, a ivifc makes a mistake in making scenes when she catches her husband making love to another woman. Her tears and re- pi-oachcs and recriminations only drive him farther away from home and her and to the woman who makes things pleasant and gay for him and who flaiaters him instead of accusing him of being a criminal. Equally foolish is it for the wife to try to rouse her husband's inter- est in her by making him jealous. Two wron-gs do not make a right and because the husband goes on the loose is no reason for his wife Continued on page 9 5 r , -W55: 1 I; The SIB" SOY r ' Modern Etiquette 3 5 By Genevieve Kvmblo II: Iobertn no 5 Q.
