Ans.: Calling the bans of marriage is an old custom that is now in vogue. 'It is as wise as it is old. No man or girl who should not marry (because they are already married or for any other reason) would dare to have his or her marriage bans called. It is a safeguard to those who intend to marry. Therefore it is decidedly sane and worth-while.

A furnishing scheme for dining rooms is easier to create than one for other rooms. The furniture itself, be- ing formal, immediately sets the tone and, by its very nature, chooses its own colors and accessories.

They were out of it, although they admitted that they had many calls for it and that they had a good sale for it in the past. But they hesitated about reord- ering and restocking. Yet they hope to stay in business! If the leaders lose faith, or make no efforts to regain it, who is to make the move for restoration? Faith must be regained. Confidence must be restored. That's your job, my job-- everybody's job.. We must be the leaders, we must transfer our faith and confidence to those who now ap- parently lack so much. Never before have men's souls been so sorely tested. With material losses so staggering, touching the humblest of the earth in such tragic manner we with the will -to look the day squarely in the face have a responsi- bility that is wholly our own. We must regain the faith! The faith that moves mountains, so to speak. The faith to recover from every thrust of the bludgeon of fate, the faith to go on. This is what we must grasp and hold to. There is no other way. Though much has been take from all our lives, more remains. We must not forget that.
