DEAR SALLY
DEAR SALLY: I'm 27 and have
been engaged to a wonderful girl
three years. The reason we
are not yet married is the fact
that I have been struggling these
past couple of years to get my
business on its financial feet am!
• O pay off the debs I incurred when
1 began it. My girl insists
tnat she should have a part in
this, that she can continue vork
ine: after we're married and thus
neip financially. However, I
don't think it would be fair toher
if I were to marry her now.
What doyouthink? STRAPPED.
DEAR STRAPPED: I don’t
think you’re being ‘‘fair” to her
now! After all, you’ve already
kept tier waiting for three"ars.
Since it’s obvious she Hants to
share everything with you, let it
be that way. If you keep wait ins;
until everything is absolutely
perfect, they’ll be wheelin' you
down the aisle.
DEAR SALLY’: We recenth
bought a new home and spent lots
of time, energy, and money mak
ing if attractive. We withheld in
viting any of our friends until we
had everything exactly as we
wanted it. Finally, last week v.a
had five couples in for an e\ oniin
of bridge. They were all hit hly
complimentary about theexteri
i or of our home and our living
* room, but not one of them asked
to see the rest of the home which
we were dying to show them.
This really hurt’ Why dot' mde
have to be so envious or jealous
or inconsiderate FLAT TASTE.

BY A. C. GORDON
YOU ARE THE DETECTIVE
You watch as Police Sergeant
Richard Kelley kneels beside
the feet of the dead man In front
of the open safe, removes the
revolver from the top of the
ransacked papers inside the
safe, removes the revolver
from the ton of the ransacked
papers inside the * safe
and after scanning several of
the papers turns with a trium
phant expression to von and
exclaims, “One motive for his
suicide a foreclosure on his
home. And I thouht, like
*S everyone else, that he was load
ed with money!”
You gaze down at the lo<h of
George Grant, one of the most
prominent men in town, both in
business and in social circles.
He lies stretched on the drop
pile carpeting of his li! ran, the
right side of his face and hair
stained with blood from the bul
let wound in his temple. Ear

housekeeper, Mrs. Sarah Hard

locked himself in the library

following an exli emeh stormy
visit from his estranged wife,
Katherine, during which Mrs.
Harding overheard the two
shouting angrily at each other.
About an hour later you are
seated in your Office at head

tails of the case. You recall

night, you found one of the win

Birthday Cake
Martha Washington’s Raisin C'ake is just about as honest and
straight forward as the man she baked it for. Though an easy and
uncomplicated recipe, it makes an elegant and delicious cake
that will be a favorite once you’ve tried it.
The raisins and spices, imported from afar and saved for
special occasions in Washington's day, are now everyday staples.
California raisins and currants are inexpensive, and so clean
they are ready to use right from the package. Instead of re
turning the box to the kitchen shelf, empty the rest of the raisins
into a candy jar to leave on the kitchen table. They will dis
appear by the handful when they are in view-. And you’ll know
that your family is enjoying excellent healthful, natural snack
food.

DEAR FLAT: These people
were not envious or jealous or
inconsiderate. They were po
lite! It was not their place to ask
for a four of your home -- it was
YOUR place to invite them on that
tour of inspection.
DEAR SALLY: I recently broke
up with the young man with whom
I had cone steady for almost two
years. Now I am continually
running into friends who ask me
about him, and I never know what
t < i say or how to explain what hap

DEAR LIBERATED: This is
strictly your business, and leng
thy explanations are neither nec
essary nor in good taste. Just
say, “I haven't seen him recent -

ished reading the report, on the
bullet taken from Grant's brain
verifying that it had been shot
from the gun found by Sergeant
Kelley.
Your eyes now travel over to
the late edition of the newspaper
lying on the edge of your desk
and bearing the headlines:
“GEORGE GRANT COMMITS
SUICIDE.”
You shake y our head and mut
ter to yourself, “This was no
suicide. Grant was murdered!”
What leads you to this con
clusion?
SOLUTION
Since the bullet was found in
the victim's brain, it caused in
stantaneous death. However,
since the death weapon was
found or: the papers INSIDE the
safe and since Grant's feet were
IN DRONT ol the safe, he could
not have fired the fatal shot.
Had in done so, the gun would
not have been inside the safe.

A-- Suggest you notify the VA

these faults by controlling him

Attempting to listen to a
