THE HORROR OF BUNIONS For your enlarged toe join:, or bullion, thtire is little else you can do but paint with iodine every night, which will give great relief. If you have a chemist near at hand, you might purchase a pot of iodine in a "solid’* form, highly concentrated, as it will be found much easier to use. If the following information is any comfort to you, I might mention that I have been told that, whilst the joint is growing out—it is this that causes the pain—nothing can be done to prevent it; but, after it has become thoroughly 4 disjointed,” pain may not he felt for years. ON RIGHT LINES I was interested to read of your forthcoming marriage, and to learn that you had made the resolve to ‘pay as you go.” You could not make a better resolution, and if all young People started housekeeping in this w &y much trouble would be saved. When paying cash, one does not order as extravagantly as when booking orders. Again, the fact of running a credit account often keeps one more or less a prisoner at the same store; bargains that appear at other shops "for cash” have to be set aside, and one has to go on paying a littlle beyond fop price for the very doubtful convenience of extended credit. Of course, young peoples are buying a house, or indulging in the luxury of a piano or sewing machine, that is another affair altogether. My warmest Wishes for your future happiness. POOR CONDITION OF HAIR The condition of your hair, which se-ima to be falling out very rapidly. Is. I think, due to the general state of your health. Give prompt attenticn to this point, take a nerve tonic, &nd if possible a rest from your business.

WHAT TO DO ‘‘l live alone with my brother, and the other night at a dinner party I sat next to a very nice young man, but I did not know whether it would be the correct thing to ask him to come and see me when he said that he hoped to have the pleasure of meeting me again. What would you have done under the circumstances?” If I liked the young man, and I had met him at the house of a mutual friend, I should certainly have invited him to come and see me. I would have asked him to tea some day, perhaps a Saturday or a Sunday, when I knew my brother would bn at home. You could have said that you would like him to come to tea some day when your brother would be in to meet him, and you would let him know when that would be. Always try to be kind and courteous to people rather than shy and awkward; the former is the true sign of good breeding, and the latter is the other thing.
