Schlueter, Mrs. William Vieth, Mrs. Leo Gremer and Mrs, Utechtt. He is planning to retire in two years and all he talks about is selling the house and buying a trailer so that he and his wife, can move from place to place and be free of responsibilities. can't think of anything worse than having to give up the home she loves, sa'y goodbye to old friends, and spend the rest of her married life cooped up in a trailer, always on the move with no plot of ground to call home.

"How can I talk him out of this notion?" she asks. "He thinks after working for 40 years at the same job he has a right to do what he wants fo do when he retires. I want him to be happy, but I truly don't think he will be any happier, without a home or friends than I will." My suggestion is that you stop pulling against him and all in with his bright and rosy plans. Only insist that he make one concession to you. That you rent the house instead of selling it, and give trailer life a year's trial before you definitely pull up roots.

Anything can happen by the end of a year spent taveling around the country. Your husband may be sick and tired of pulling his home behind him. He may hate the cramped living quarters. He may be lonely for'his old friends. He may long for a plot of ground on which to raise a garden.

He may be anxious to get back home and st'art making improvements on the house he still owns. Or, and this is perhaps a little more unlikely, you may find that Ice Follies Open Oct. 7 at Arena ST.

First, check the fashions in this newspaper so that you know what the line is for fall. Next, jot down what you already own that's wearable. Be fair, now. A elosetful of limp clothes from last year doesn't necessarily mean that you have a lot of things to wear.

So weed out the limp ones and list only those that still look well Now, are there skirts that need new blouses or sweaters? Dresses that need new pumps or handbags? What about your winter coat? Will it serve another year or should you have a new one? If so, what color will blend best with the balance of your wardrobe? The reason that some teen-agers always'look well-dressed while oth- ers'are thoughtlessly put together is always a matter oi planning. The woman who avoids using eyeshadow, because she feels, it's too daring might be the very woman who, this fall, will use the new violet mascara on her eyelashes. Sound' daring, too? It's really very pretty for dressy occasions and lends an added glamor to an evening out. You might went to experiment with shades of green'or royal blue, too, just for the fun of it. You can blend the violet and the blue for a softened, misty look and turn up' with the" prettiest eyelashes in town.
