A young couple were divorced,
and the wife was granted a monthly

asked the court to relieve him of

He told the dishwasher to move
them out of his way, but the latter
was slow to comply. When the chef

Too much money should not be
spent on curtains and drapes since
these should be changed every five
years or so to keep the windows
looking attractive. The cost should
also be economical since so much
more has to be spent on the other
furnisliings of the room.
