This is a part of her letter : "Collins jwill shortly be on his way home. He was an instructor in English before he got his commission as an army engineer, and I still live on the campus with my small daughter, Evelyn., My husband and I went through college together. I am carrying on his classes while* he *•' 'is away, we are in every way well v mated, sympathetic, companionable, and deeply devoted. v."

The ! man to whom I surrendered my honi tor is a very old friend, ten years . 1 older than I, who once lived in this " | neighborhood. He is a masterful ix i type, ahd when, as a girl of 18, I v | had an offer of marriage from y ?him !I declined it, saying that I kf .^was a little afraid of him, and didn't ; , ' j want to be despotically ruled. i "When he reappeared in our circle -la few months ago he immediately ,took the old attitude, bossing me, f ) laughing at me, having his own . way. He established himself on a &:^comfortably informal footing in my ;house, made plans that absorbed al- K. ^most all my time, and generally '• took possession of the situation. The * .'rest followed.

I adore my husband," the letter goek on.' "If he should discover this affair and ask tor a divorce and possession oi Evelyn, my life would be ruined. My position here is an ideal one, friends, common interests, beautiful environment, satisfactory school for my four-year-old. To sacrifice all this, and because of my own folly, is more than I can bear. "And yet the thought of secrecy is even more dreadful. Collins is ^ simple and honest and he trusts me completely; how am I to conceal from him what would shatter that love and trust in one single minute. He will greet the other man like an old friend, that other man will dine with us, come and go familiarly, and I feel as if I simply couldn't ' face it.

Collins will soon return, and she must act soon, if at all. saucy, "sissy" sailor is a topnotch fashion but some of the newcomer Straw sailors are simply enormous. These large dramatic hats seem to have an affinity for gay print dresses and they are also stunning worn with •tfiodish simple black frocks, also with summer suits. * •' Perfectly beautiful large black fleers will be, worn this summer. Worn with the modish black dinner gown or the slim black daytime frock, these filmy black hat creations present an arresting theme. Some are made of sheer horsehair braid, others of lace, net or tulle. Thef may be strictly all black or they may flourish a huge rose for a highspot of color. One of the most breathtaking happenings in the millinery realm is the tremendous use being made of light-as-air sheers. For breathtaking loveliness they baffle description. Airy-fairy masses of diaphanous pleatings, ruchings, poufs and loops are banked up like snowy clouds on lovely sheer hats, the likes of which have not been seen, at least by this generation. - When first you ^ee these lovely summer creations you feel a thrill of surprise, because they bespeak a new millinery outlook. Their loveliness grows on you and the fact that they are so utterly summery and feminine fits them right into the scheme of things during the coming months. Another new millinery gesture that bids for applause is the adorable hat made of starched laces, either white or pastel. These hats Weekdays: 7:30.

Wrong things have exactly the opposite effect, and from them st£m countless other wrong things. That is why the responsibility of those who abide by the law is so terrible and so magnificent. It is not only for themselves, and their pwn lives. It is to affect the current of human affairs for all time to come. Nothing will make this affair right. But it seems to me the best thing to do is ignore it from this moment on, completely. Never allude to it again, even in your own thoughts. Stop right here. Your only safety lies in denial of it; "It did not happen." Keep It to Yourself. Make no confession to your hus> band; make his homecoming as warmly happy as you can. If the other man hints anything by his maimer or by any allusion to what has taken place, ignore that too. Take the attitude that Jack--or whatever his name may be--was always apt to think of himself as a lady-killer, and try to maintain a sort of amused contempt for him. You may have to endure his presence in the neighborhood for awhile; you may have to endure the humiliation of seeing him marry your friend's daughter, but there is no help for that. If the girl loves him, she will marry him no matter what admissions you make, and even her mother will not thank you for destroying her romance, destroying your own happiness, your husband's happiness and your daughter's future at one fell swoop. You will have to keep your mouth shut carry the burden alone. Fiace this difficult thing bravely. You have made one bad mistake; don't make another. The debt you owe to your husband, your child, and society is not one that can be paid easily or quickly. Only years of fine and generous living, affectionate and eager service to all three will make you feel right again. Don't try to hurry matters by tearing everything to pibces now, breaking more than one heart besides your own, and destroying a little girl's confidence in the goodness of her mother and her father. can see anything from lace bonnets to cotton lace-covered si^sy" type sailors in the new showings. 0 For women who prefer little hats rather than wide brims, the new flower wreath on a headband foundation carries definite appeal.

The oldest Protestant Episcopal parish in the United States is that of St. Paul's church in Eastchester, N. Y. It is known as the shriue of the Bill of Rights because here it was that the print i pie of the freedom of the press was challenged and established. This church likewise served as the court-house where Aaron Burr pleaded. The parish church was founded in 1665, the present building erected in 1765. It ha? recently been restored by the Daughters of the. American Revolution. Diet Deficiency Pellagra is the most conspicuous diet deficiency disease of the United dtktes.

Handsome grosgrain ribbon encircling the crown, enhances the huge felt spilor shown at the top. The other sailor of summery straw is ever so chic, and you'll find that it will top your smart suit and your gay cotton frocks to perfection.

Rinse thoroughly with clear water when To wear with the summer gowns whose lowcut necklines and brief cap sleeves bespeak bare shoulders and arms, you'll be' wanting a lovely net stole such, as are being shown in select collections. These •Stoles are made of net in black, white or pastel and starred with sequins. Their sparkle adds infinite allure to a midsum/ner night costume. There's a big vogue on for costume accessories to be made of the very same material that fashions the dress. In a recent style revue shantung dresses were shown together with matching hats, gloves, bags, belts and parasols. If you are handy with a needle you can, with the aid of good patterns, make most of these items yourself. Stands Drouth While Its syrup-producing, sweet sorghum cousins grow mostly in Tennessee, broomcorn stands drouth well and has therefore become largely a crop of nonirrigated lands of the Southwest. Oklahoma* led the 1944 production with more than 20,000 tons, nearly one-third of the crop. One-fourth--17,700 tons--wes grown in Cplorado, almost exclusive*' ly in the southeastern corner, county of Baca. Only four other states were important in the harvest--New Mexico, Texas, Kansas and Illinois. . Pig Less About three pigs out of ten die before the age of weaning.

Boiler Vaenm Don't draw water from the "drawoff" faucet of the domestic hot water boiler if the water pipes are frozen. The boiler might collapse under the Vacuum created. t New Screen After protracted interference pro* ceedings in the patent office to determine priority of invention--proceedings /n Which there were several contenders--patents have been issued to Harry W. Thomas and William Dubilier for a nylon window screen which may well displace screens of metal wire after the war. If a hole is made in such a screen with a pencil or any other sharp instrument it will disappear merely by working the material with the fingers. The government is now using about 50,000,000 yards of this self-healing screen material. Each thread has a series of regularly recurring obtuse crimps in alternately opposite directions so as to form a succession of oppositely directed troughs. After a hole is made in the screen and the fingers do their work, the displaced threads slip back into their proper troughs and stay there, so that the screen looks just as it did before. Without the crimps there would be no troughs, and the displaced threads could not find their original places. Result of Good Management. can they get along without plenty of oxygen for their hard working root systems," Dr. Hoffer declared. "Few farmers realize the amount of work these roots carry on. They must anchor the plant firmly,' and absorb nutrients from the soil to support the demands of the other parts of the plants. They are the living parts of the corn plant we frequently overlook when we try to diagnose foliage deficiency symptoms, or become dissatisfied with the size and quality of the ears produced." Pointing out that many fields of midwestern corn were fertilized by the so-called "plow-under" method last season, Dr. Hoffer declared that excellent results WL»re obtained in practically all cases where the soils were well-drained and in good tilth and where the stands of corn and the rainfall were ample. During the latter part of the 1944 growing season, however, numerous cases of "negative" response to the plow-furrow fertilizers were reported. The heavily fertilized plants were no better than those fertilized in the regular manner with row applications. . "Briefly, the diagnosis of these troubles seemed to be as follows," Dr. Hoffer stated, "when large quantities of organic' matter and nitrogen • carrying fertilizers are plowed into the soil, enormous amounts of nutrient and energy materials are available for the corn plant roots and the soil organisms-- mostly bacteria and 'fungi--to feed upon. These stimulated activities created a large demand for oxygen for both the growing corn roots and those other soil inhabitants. In well-drained soils in good tilth and aeration capacity, the oxygen of the air and that carried into the soil in rain is adequate for all the living entities involved. "But when the supply of oxygen in the soil, air and water becomes insufficient for the living corn roots and other organisms, an oxygen tension is created under which the corn roots cannot compete with the soil bacteria and fangi. Lose Vitamins, The vitamin-conscious housewife will be interested to know how canning and storage affect the vitamin content of grapefruit, one of the more important sources of vitamin C. Results of recent tests made on canned unsweetened grapefruit juice stored in 12 Florida canning plants show that at the end of two months the juice contains 95 per cent of its vitamin C; after four months 90 per cent remains; and at the end of six months, 8? per cent.

New Coccidiotis Cure An actual cure for coccidiosis is known at last. The cure is the drug of the sulfa type, namely sulfadiazine.
