I helped save money to buy ours and I am k good driver and would rather drive than eat but my husband never lets me have the car even to go to church on a Sunday morning I loved him once but he is so selfish and unreasonable that my love Is slowly dying and I am --very unhappy A WIFE Answer: I think a husband is very mean and stingy if he won’t let his wife use the car whenever he can spare it from his business but I know a lot of selfish brutes who don’t I know men who drive their cars down town every day and park them in order to keep their wives from using a little gasoline In going to market or taking a ride Bu there-i- s no use in getting all hot and bothered about it now because few of us will be using automobiles for the next few years (Released by The Bell Syndi- cate Inc) By MRS ANNE CABOT The" charm and pleasure of doing cut work never diminishes-- ! ind if the design is full of spring flowers so much the better!
