Woman Deserts Child to Live Witti Another Man

By MARTHA LEE No road is easier to travel than thè Read to Dishonor, once one has ■tari ed on It. Here's a womrn of 2S separated from her husband, with a little daughter, and living with another man, also married. The woman’s husband has thè child. Now thè woman is afraid she wil! lose thè “other man,” for she knows he "slips back" to see his wife ano pive hèr money. Her fear seems to be based entirejy on this prospective loss. She has traveled so far along thè Road to Dishonor that she seems to have no regrets. She seems not to care at all that she never sees her child and that ehe has disgraced thè name thè child beare, It does not seem to worry her that she broke up a happy hoine. Miss Lee: I am 38 years old. I have been married and have a sweet little girl. But I am parted from my husband vìn he has thè little girl. I never set to see ber. for I am living with another man. He has ehi'dren that are older than I am. To teli thè iruth. I broke up a happy tome. B it I tbought I loved bim ai.d !et him come vntil my husband ‘got next." Tlicn I forced him *o leave hi wife. Do you think I rati hold himT He wi’l Up back, I bave sound o"t. and see his wife and rive her money. ÌVhat would ,you do? Must I stili live with him and try to hold him?—J. i. Tour heart must be of etone. You see-m to have no regrets. You have only fear. That fear, I suppose, is your punishment—a very light one. too. To almost any woman it would be punishment to be away from her child. but you seem to be immune from any heartaches on that score. 1 fear it ia too late for you to unrto thè wrong you have done. But thè ìeast yoa can do is to send thè man away. Perheps his wife will take him back; if she does, surely she is a model of forbearance. And you ca-.i begin lise anew. in a different city. Perhaps some time you will be flt to tee your daughter again. It's a long.

I have worked in faetories sinee I was 16. I am working now and have worked most of thè last three years to help pay for our fumlture and meet other expenses. We are paid up now and want to start payin? for a home. Bat I am tired of factory work. 1 want lo rive it up a..d take a dresamakinz course. I want to be at home and earn extra money in spare time.—UNDECIDED. You have thè right idea of cooperation. I think it would be fine for you to take a course of dressmaking, if you like to 3ew and have abiìity. But be aure you get a good course, or it will do you little good. I imagine, aster you have had a bit of experience, you will be able to earn more as a dressmaker than you earn now in a factory. Lonesome at Night Dear Martha Lee: I am 18 year old. I have been married over a year and have a ne whome. My husband is very fond of me and we are very happy, exeept that he works at night. He also works on Sunday. . go to chureh two nights a week. lam so lonesome and I want to go places. but we live in thè country and it is too far to go a'one. Therefore. I stay at home and get so lonesome I cry myself slek. My husband has lots of boy frlends. Do you think it advisable to have one of them just as a pure friend, or ean you find them so? It seem imposslble to have girl friends. W\rrnco k -° m0 ‘ ar " cowards ln the dark.— Don't do it. “Platonic friendships” are like volcanoes; you never know what's going to happen next. Oh. they cari exist. but they are not m&de for lonesome Wlves. I think thè best thing for you to do would be either to move ctoser so town or for your husband to get a day-time job as soon as he can. I wonder whether you could get up a club of your girl friends. if they all carne out together, surely they would not be afraid. That wouid take another night of lonesomeness away. Do you read very much? Reading always takes your mind off your own troubles.

Kidney Stew By BERTHA E. BHAPLEIOH a] Columbia University A kidney should be soaked in cold water for an hour, and then scalded for two or three minutes. It should then he placed in cold water for a short time and then thè thin skin ì-emoved. The following quantities will make a stew for six people; 2 beef kidneys, cut in pieces 3 tablespoons flour 3 potatoes: washed, pared and cut in 'quarters 1 large onion, thinly slieed 3 tablespoons suet or drippings % cup celery, cut in small pieces V 2 carrot, cut In strips 2 quarta water 1% teaspoons salt V 2 teaspoon paprika Vs teaspoon pepper 1 cup tornato In thè suet or drippings fry thè onion until slightly brown. Roll thè kidney pieces in fiour and fry with thè onion. Ade! celery, carrot, water, tornato and seasonings. Cover and cook slowly one hour. Then add potatoes and cook half an hour. If thè liquid cooks away too much, add more—but there is little danger of cooking a. stew too much. Add dumplings, cover closely, and cook twenty minutes.

Marriage a la Mode ‘‘Two tigresses in a house are better than two mistresses," says a Persian proverb, and owing to this or to economie stress, polygamy has become “unfashionable” in Persia. The Persian woman, however, is not a helpmate to her husband in thè English sense of thè word. The husband manages thè establishment, pays thè servante and checks thè accounts. The priest who educates a Persian advises him as one of thè Cardinal rules of lise always to do thè exact opposite of what a woman eoun sels.
