Here's the new idea. Buy threo at once. Bounds good, doesn't it? One in wear, one in the wash, and the other in the wardrobe. When you think that you can get the three illustrated for a very small outlay, it's worth considering.
There's the tailored style with square neck in plain Empirex cloth, in plak, daffodil, almond, or hyacinth. The standing figure is in linen finish Floraline, with a zip fastener neckline and inverted pleat skirt.
This is delightful in n wide choice of colours-green. cherry, powder or navy blue and black with white. These two dresses are available in a choice of lengths 46, 48 and 50 inches

A Happy Marriage?
Not money certainly, as this 'article shows. Great thing is to make the best of what you have, and not expect too nitich.

"D never think of getting married on less than a thou- sand a year," is one of the things I often hear young men saying.
Well, if they really mean that, all I can say is good luck to them. "They'll need all they can get when,
and if they do get married.
I know, because I said the same 'thing myself once. Only I changed my ideas just in time. If I hadn't done the girl who is now my wife would not have been able to say that the lust four years have been the happiest of her life. We should never have got married in the first place.
Thought her a Fool
PEOPLE probably said, "She is a
fool to marry him when he's got no money: Why doesn't she wait till he gets a job?" And I know they must have said, "He can't be much of a non to ask her to marry him when he can hardly support | himself,"
Well, I said the same Wings. Nevertheless, I borrowed £10 and we got married.
But I didn't feel so badly about it at the time. It wasn't as if I had been taking her away from a ccm- fortable home. I didn't promise her anything. I didn't even promise her everlasting love, although I told her that I loved her.
She was living by herself in a depressing little room in a lodging house. I was occupying another de- pressing little room in the 200 building.
We argued that some of the de- pression might be dispersed If we both lived together in the same room somewhere else. We might even be able to run to a small fat. At any rate it would be cheaper if we were to live together.
So we found a small fat and got married. Between us, we were just able to raise enough money to pay the first month's rent in advance.
I don't know how we managed to exist for the Arst few months. My wife was getting £3 a week as a salesgirl in a hat shop. I succeeded in getting a job which brought me in 35s, a weeks. The rent came to £7 10%. a month. (It was an un- furnished fat, and it remained so for some time.)
No time to be Bored
ALL the same we were both very happy. We were never bored, You don't have time to get bored when life is a bit of a struggle, Who- ever got home first in the evening started to prepare the dinner.
Whoever had the money did the shopping for the next night's din-
ner.
I never thought I'd get much fun out of peeling potatoes and washing up dishes. A few years before the den would have appalled me.
But a few years before the idea of marriage an an aggregate income

I know now that they don't. You can't marry on nothing, but you can be happy on very little.
There was no craving for pleasure. For the first time I was able to get enjoyment out of the simple things of life. In the summer we went for walks in the park. In the winter we sat at home and played cards or read a book.
Of course, there were times when I was heartily ashamed of myself. I repeatedly had to ask my wife for

But she didn't mind. It understood that I had murried her for her money, anyway.
I frequently sald that things couldn't go on like this indefinitely. I said it wasn't fair to her. But she only replied that she was perfectly happy. And I believed her. I know we were both happy.

Tell me,
doctor..
What is a mother to do! Why, the scratch was so small you could hardly see it: blood-poisoning never entered my mind. After all, children can't sit still all day-though I have asked Freddie not to play in that shed. But, I mean, it might happen to any of us-a cut, a little scratch! Tell me, what is one to do ?"
The smallest cut or scratch is enough for the germa of blood-poisoning to enter. To the germs that cause the havoc, a tiny break in the skin is a wide-open door. There is only one way to prevent their invasion; they must be killed-or ence. 'Dettol, the Modem Antiseptic, can be applied immediately; there are directions on every bottle. This thorough killer of germs is gentle and tender on human tissues, Non- poisonous and non-staining to the skin, yet death to germs. 'Dettol' promptly used may save you untold pain and danger.
The way to safety mm Buy a bottle of 'Detta!" from your chemist now and be ready,

After four Years $1
WE have been married for four
years now, and things haven't changed much in that time. True, there is a little more money to spend; we go out more.
But we aren't any happier than we were. We all go for walks in the park, and we still spend most of our evenings n home playing cards or reading. Which shows that we have learned to be happy without the ald of money.
If you want a moral It is that some people' expect too much from, 'marriage. We expected very little. | Dut we determined to make that little count.
Perhaps that is why, after four years of married life, we are still happy. Perhaps that is why we ex pect to go on being happy.
