+ PT RS ti is Ske a OL aE THE STRATFORD MIRROR i> "& CUP COR ID'S NER { "SKETCH OF A SINNER" Dear Miss St. John: My daughter (aged eighteen) has just received a copy of a book entitled "Sketch of a Sinner" (by Frank Swin- nterton) from-a boy friend. I am not at all fond of reading. I have neith- er the time nor the inclination to read the book. But frankly, I do not like the name of it. Please tell me if you think a young man of good character would send such a book to a girl. Penelope. Answer: "Sketch of a Sinner' was first published about three years ago. It is neither morbid nor indelicate de- spite its name. To send the book toa girl friend is no reflection on the young man. Ina St. John. s s s THE WEDDING PRESENT Dear Miss St. John: Here comes a mere man for a bit j of advice. An old friend of mine is soon to be married to a girl I have néver seen. I would like to send them a wedding present that they would use. I thought of a silver tray with teaset to match. Can you suggest anything more suit- able? RSs Answer: It is a matter of taste Mr. R. S. But here are some gifts that any bridal couple would appreciate, a china teaset in an open stock pattern, an occasional chair, a thirty-day clock of beauty and durability, an up-to-date encyclopaedia in its own bookcase. If you were a woman, R. S., you would love shopping for any one of these delightful gifts. ; Ina St, John. a * * #8 POOR SPORTS Dear Miss St. John: My girl friend and I are very fond of telling each other spicy bits of news about other members of our crowd. Mother says we are becoming a pair | of vulgar gossips. Do you think there is any harm in; discussing our friends' shortcomings? , Marcella. Answer: Well, Marcella, consider the _$panish proverb, "Who gossips with _ you will gossip of you." Discussing mutual friends to their _ disadvantage is not a wholesome pas- time for two girls. The habit will grow on you, and it will earn you many enemies. Do try to occupy your time in some more pleasant and profitable manner. . Ina St. John. = * 2 TWO STRINGS TO HER BOW Dear Miss St. John: e Having enjoyed reading the "Cor- mer" for some time, I would like to ask your opinion of my problem. I have two boy friends. One is a _year younger than I am--twenty-four --and the other is a sophisticated man over thirty. -.. Which would you advise me to marry? Emily. Amswer: Are you sure that both the young men wish to marry you, Emily? Since you cannot decide which one you prefer, neither of them is the right man for you. Wait until you fall in love before you think of marriage. fox Ina St. John. Be INVITE HIM IN Dear Miss St. John: A man whom I have come to love dearly has been calling to take me out fer some months. His father is weal- thy. Mine is poor, though he is re- spected by everyone. Our home is very shabbily furnished. So when my friend calls I am always dressed to go out, and I never ask him in. Moth- er says I must ask him to dinner mext Sunday. She has not even met him 'yet. It is not false pride, Miss St. John. But I am so afraid that I will lose him if he sees me in our com- monplace home surroundings, I love him deeply. Do advise me. z Selma. Answer: If the man is worthy of your love, Selma, he will not care what sort of a furniture your home contains. Sebi mother is quite right. He must ; wonder why he is not invited into 'your family circle.» | Most men like to see their sweet- 'hearts in domestic settings occasion- ally. No matter how well a girl danc- es, skates, etc., ner lover wants to be-. lieve that she is a "home girl" at heart. Anway, Selma, "It is not the house that makes the home--it's the love: that is inside." Ina St. John. At Your Service with a modern equipped Shoe Repair Shop and Reliable Workmen.....

Its dejected sag spoils the appearance of the loveliest room. It's the old-fashioned stuffed mattress, flattened out and thinner at the centre, or the sagged bedspring, that causes the unsightly sag--and, more important, robs you of healthy sleeping comfort. We heartily recommend Marshall Sleep Equipment as a sure cure for the sagged, uncomfortable bed. Marshall Mattresses are not only good looking--they provide luxurious comfort that is just as lasting as their good looks. Marshalls will not spread, sag or become lumpy. Marshall Cable or Box Springs are the finest supports for your mattress--guaranteed sagless. No mattress can stay up neat and level if the bedspring, under it sags. Make sure that your bedsprings do not spoil your beds. The new Marshalls for 1933, now on display, feature beautiful new tickings--a distinctive new hand-built edge--greater values than ever. Come in and see them.
