Bills, a small income, and sacrifices of the early days of marriage are a sharp contrast to the light-hearted days of honeymooning.

"Where did I meet Joe?" Ma said to me, when Julia, bottled and bubbled, had fallen asleep on her experienced shoulder, and we had a quiet moment together upstairs. "Well, there was a time when I wouldn't have told you, but now I'll tell you how it was. My cousin Anna was going to marry Joe, and she was playing fast and loose, she would and she wouldn't.

It was a very foolish thing to do, but he made up his mind that he just wouldn't eat. He wouldn't touch that nice yellow corn Farmed Brown's Boy had put in his prison for him. He would starve himself to death. Yes, sir, he w<puld starve himself to death. So, when he found that there was no way to get out of his prison, he curled up in the little hollow stump where no one could see him and made up his mind that he would stay there until he died. Life wasn't worth living if he had to spend all the rest of his days in a prison. He wouldn't even make himself comfortable. There w3s a little heap of nice shavings and bit# of rag for him to make a nice com-, fortable bed, but he didn't touci" them. No, sir, he just tried to h i m s e l f m i s e r a b l e : ; i - ' Not once that long day did he pok< so much as the tip of his rios^ ou* of his little round doorway. Ever' so many times Farmer Brown's Boy came to see him- and whistled and called softly to him, but Chatterer didn't'make a sound. At last, n;ght came and the woodshed where his prison was grew-^arker and darker and very still. Now, it was about this time that Chatterer's stomach began to make itself felt. Chatterer tried not to notice it, but his stomach would be noticed and Chatterer couldn't help himself t-Iis stomrr DR. R. DeROME -- Dentist -- r '• 120 Green Street hone 292-J.

And the last minute, when we were all as nervous as witches, didn't Anna's father stand up and say that to his shagne he'd have to tell us that Ar.7i.ix hafi packed down, she wouldn't marry anyone and go away from Ireland and her mother--that she wouldn't, not for ten Joe Moores. * Substitute Bride. "Well, I began to cry. And when the priest spoke sharply to me and asked me why I would be crying, I spoke up--the little shy thing that I was!--and said that Joe looked like a good man and a kind one and it was a pity a girl like Anna would miss him! And at that Joe walked across the floor, held his two big hands out to me and said, 'If Father here will marry us will you take a chance with me, Julia?' and the priest said to my mother, 'though she looked for 20 years she'd do no better.' And Joe and I sailed away that week with everyone's blessing, and me asking him on the ship did he take milk in his tea Or didn't he! "And a good man he's been to me," ended the bride of half-a-century, tears again in her smiling eyes. "No woman ever had a better! But I'd never laid eyes on him until 15 minutes before I married him." These two true stories are In answer to the thousands of anxious mothers and wives who write me about the flood of wartime weddings that are engulfing the country. My general advice to the girls is not to marry just before the hardly-known groom sails away for foreign service. I've even warned them against engagements, for the man who comes back from Kiska or Guadalcanal or Naples isn't going to be the man who went away, or rather, isn't going to be what she thought he was. He may be nicer, he may be not so nice. Whatever |he is, he'll be different from your memory of him. All the time he's gone you'll be imagining him. Youll naturally build him up into something superhuman. When the other girls ask if he's handsome, generous; amusing, smart, your answer will of course be a dreamy ecstatic "Yes." Certainly he was handsome in his new uniform; of course he was generous on that hurried three-day hon», eymoon. He must be smart, because he was offered a really fine job when he graduated from college, only of course, being drafted, he couldn't accept it. Troubles Ahead in Marriage. But when he domes back it won't, be honeymoon. Your first budget may be $20 a week. Bills, uncertainties, and.economies may complicate ycur first year together. Ari you willing to face that courage ously? ach was empty and it kept telling him so. "I'm going to starve to death," said Chatterer to himself over and over. "I'm empty and there is plenty of food to All me up, if you'll only stop being silly," whispered his stomach. The more Chatterer tried not to think of how good something to eat would taste the more he did think of it. It made him restless and uneasy. He, twisted and squirmed and turned. At last, he decided that he would have one more look to see if he couldn't find some way to get out of his prison. He poked his head out of the little round doorway. All was still and dark. He listened, but not a sound could be heard. Then He softly crept out and hurriedly examined all the inside of his prison once more. It was of no use! There wasn't a single place where he could use his sharp teeth. "There's that little pile of corn waiting for me," whispered his stomach. "I'll never touch itt*' Mid Chatterer fiercely. Just then he hit something with his foot and it rolled. He picked it up and then put it down again. It was a nut, a plump hickory nut. Two or t h r e e t i m e s he p i c k e d i t . u p and put it down, and each time it was harder than befcre to put it down. "I-I-I'd like to taste one more nut before I starve to death," muttered Chatterer, and almost without knowing it he began to gnaw the hard shell. When that r^ut was finished he found another, 'and when that was gone still another. Then he just had to taste a grain of corn. The first thing Chatterer knew the nuts and corn were all gone and his stomach was full. Somehow he felt ever so much better. He didn't feel like starving to death. "I-I believe I'll wait a bit and see what happens," said he to himself. "And while I'm waiting I might as well be comfortable." With that he began to carry the shavings and rags into the hollow stump, and soon he had as comfortable a bed as ever he had slept .on. Chatterer had decided to live.
