Although it is a tiresome chore, re- gluing is a comparatively easy pro- cess, All dry glue should be scraped from the parts; the parts sandpaper- ed, and then fresh glue applied and the parts rejoined. Animal glue, especially made for furniture, should be used if possible. When gluing parts of a chair leg together, use a clamp to hold the broken parts together until dry. Al- low at least 48 hours for drying. A screw inserted in broken parts, keeps the leg in place, should be drilled in to prevent split- ting of the wood.

Dear Miss St. John: When I met a neighbor one after- noon last week she barely spoke to me. My husband says it was likely my vivid imagination but I feel like asking her to explain why she acted that way. Don't you think one should clear up a thing like that? MARIE. Answer: Well, Marie, why not give your friend another chance? Perhaps she had just had a tooth out or order- ed another ton of coal! INA ST. JOHN. NOT IN UNIFORM Dear Miss St. John: I have been married a year. My husband enlisted before that but he was definitely turned down. Now all his friends have gone into the ser- vice. He won't let me tell people about his disability and he is devel- oping an inferiority complex. I find it is affecting me, too. You see, we did not live here when he enlisted. I begin to think every woman who has a son or husband in the army looks at me sort of coldly. We are both young. He is nineteen and I'm a year older. What do you think I could do about it? ROSE. Answer: Now that all men of your husband's age are being called up, Rose, you have no cause for embar- rassment. INA ST. JOHN. FOR HIS COMFORT Dear Miss St. John: My girl friend and I knit sicks for our soldier friends overseas. She is engaged but Iam not. I always wash the socks so they will be softer. My girl friend says that is silly. She Ray Getliffe Better Fitting Footwear invites you and your fam- ily to take advantage of a complete stock of new merchandise for every member of your family.

I feel glad to do that much for my boy friend. Do you think it is silly? ' MILDRED. Answer: It seems to me that your girl friend will make a very poor wife if she refuses to wash a pair of new socks for the comfort of her fu- ture husband. Anything one can do for a man in the King's uniform is an obligation. INA ST. JOHN. TOO LATE Dear Miss St. John: For some time, I have realized that I married the wrong man. He is now in the army but he is in a low category, so he won't go overseas. An old boy friend of mine is stationed near here. I often see him and I know he is the man I _ should have married. I wish my husband would get interested in some other woman so I could divorce him. I have not mentioned anything to him yet on account of our young daughter. She is twelve and she hero-worships her Dad. I would not want to give her up. I'm afraid she's stick to him. Do you think I'd be happier apart from both of them as long as I was with the man I love? STARDUST. Answer: Perhaps you did marry the wrong man. Stardust However, it has taken you so long to discover your error that it is really too late to do anything about it! Your duty is to do everything in your power to give your young daughter "a place in the sun." Suppose you do part from your husband and join the other man (legally or otherwise), it will blight her life! You have no right to leave your child nor to deprive her of her father's care and influence. You will be wise in your own interests if you forget this long-ago boy friend and live for your family. INA ST. JOHN. Service Man and Women Boost Loan Members of the armed forces are giving splendid assistance to Canada's Fourth Victory Loan campaign to raise $1,100,000,000,000. Every day, in leading cities from coast to coast, they are out parading with their bands to give the drive a boost. Feat- ured in these parades, of course, are the uniformed women's services--or- ganizations like the C.W.A.C., who provide a stirring sight as they march past to the strains of their own re- cruiting song, "Shoulder to Shoulder." Everyone loves these parades. But few among the crowds who gather to watch them realize that they are only a part of service contributions. The forces are buying Bonds too.
