LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CONTINUED. At that moment, little Marquise, Ruth came In. I never was so glad to see any one in all my life. She was bringing me the loveliest orchid negligee you ever saw and that took Mrs. Smithson’s attention for the moment. “I expect you will have great success,” she said to Ruth. “In your new venture. Os course, all your friends will show their sympathy for you by making purchases at your shop.” “I am neither looking for sympathy nor charity, Mrs. Smithson,” Said Ruth bluntly. "I am going into a perfectly legitimate business and I hope that I shall make it pay. That’s all.” “Very admirable of you I am sure.” (That woman seems to have a self-: esteem that compares with a rhinocerous’ skin. Nothing can get under it.) I knew Ruth wanted to talk to me privately, but that woman stayed and stayed and at last had the nerve to ask Ruth if the picture “Trumping His Heart” was being shown in New York. Ruth stiffened and then deliberately lied. “I think I saw it advertised, but I was too busy to go and see it.” “Ob. Mrs. Prescott told me that you had seen the picture.” Ruth recovered herself quickly: “Was that the picture in which Paula Perier played? I didn’t remember the name of it wnen you spoke. Yes, T saw it.” “How did you like it, Mrs. Ellington?” “Very much indeed.”
DON’T BE A WALL FLOWER No. 7 —New American Tango BRUSH UP ON YOUR DANCING
BY ARTHUR MURRAY Director. National Institute of Social Dancing. [HE new Tango is often referred to as “The Waltz Tango" because of the predominui bi oldfo-shioned waltz slops. Eve; y ope who wants to l>eflome a really good dancer should know the actual steps in the oldfashioned “round waltz." The tango tempo is the same as in the fox''trot. It is danced to “fourfour" time. However, we will not be concerned with technical terms. We will use the simplest method of counting, that of counting the actual steps taken. Steps Divided in the tango and fox trot, the steps are divided into a slow and quick movements. The slow step takes about a second and gets two beats of ’he music. The quick step is twice as fast as a slow step and is given only a half second. To l>e sure that you know just how fast to walk, take out your watch and hold it in your hand while walking. Give one second to each slow walking step. Walk around the room for about ten minutes doing the slow steps. After that, walk ground s,he room, with watch in hand, and do the quick steps, giving a half a second to each step. Be sure and learn to walk correctly to tango or slow fox trot music before going further. The Tango Promenade Begin with the left foot and take four long, slow walking steps forward, 1,2, 3.4: these four walking steps are not a part of the promenade. but It Is advisable to do them befc-e actually beginning the promenade. They are necessary in order to make the step fit the music. Then—1. Take one SLOW walking step forward with the left foot. ?. Step forward quickly with the right foot, moving it diagonally to

“It has been making a great sensation around here.” “I expect so,” said Ruth. “Miss Perier was one of the most beautiful girls In town, you know. Pardon me, Mrs. Smithson, but wasn't she the young woman to whom your husband paid so much attention before you were married? Someone told me that she had turned Jhlm down and the next thing I knew your marriage was announced.” “Nothing of the sort, nothing of the sort. Os course, Mr. Smithson thought, as did all the men in town, that she was a very pretty girl. But as for paying her any attention, he only' did what he could not get nut of. The girl pestered him to death running after him.” “Oh that was the way of it,” said Ruth innocently. "Well, I can hardly understand Mr. Smithson’s attitude in the matter, for it always seemed to me that Paula Perier was really much too good for him.— Again you will pardon me, Mrs. Smithson —” “I’ll do nothing of the kind, Mrs. Ellington, and it seems to me that you are not in a position with your husband leaving you for another woman to throw stones at what you consider my glass house. “I have had a very pleasant evening. Mrs. Prescott, but I will have to take leave now as I cannot stand insults even by Implication. Good evening.” She flounced out. (Copyright. 1923. NEA Service Inc.)

Martha Lee Says ‘May’ and ‘December’ Far Apart in Marriage
Perhaps she thought she would be an “old man’s darling,” with nothing to do but have a good time and be petted by her 40-year-old husband. Perhaps he thought he would take great delight in molding her young mind and in watching her develop.
Bat she did not develop. And habit is strong. Now he is seeking the company of a 35-year-old woman, and the young wife admits she is untrue to her husband. Sometimes “December and May” marriages are happy. But the chances are against them. A man who is more than half-way through life cannot adjust himself s,s easily as he may imagine, to the ways of a girl who Is on the threshold of life. Nor can he mold her mind without a struggle—not is this day of "independence." Adaptability is one of the first requirements of marriage. 'May' and ‘December’ Dear Miss Lee: I am a married man and Have -ried to make my wife nappy, but cannot. She goes with other fellows and she loves one of them very much and has told me so. She said Tie did not intend to live with me. We have no children. For about six raonihi she has not done right. | X have got a letter from a Woman friend and have answered it. I think we might get along all right. She is 35 years old and I am 40. Do vou think age makes much difference? My wife is 20. We have been married two years and she has not been satisfied for a year and a half She wilt .not <to any housework. She just sleeps and Vats and runs around not caring for anything. Please advt-e me. AN UNHAI'PY HUSBAND. Dear Miss Lee. I have been reading your column in The Times. I disagree on your opinion of unhappy marriages. f ~m a young woman 20 years old. lam married and am not happ.v. I don't think it is right for two married people to live together unhappy. X tried to make myself happy, but there is no use. I am not true to my husband. I have met another fellow. whom I love and would die for. He is 14. My husband is 40 I would like vour advice Is there such a thing as second love? AN UNHAPPY WIFK. And do you think, Unhappy Wife, that it is wrong for two people to live together, unhappy, while they try to adjust themselves to each other, but not wrong to do wbat you are doing? I most assuredly don’t. However, if marriage is an utter failure, and no children are involved, it is better to make a clean break, through divorce, than to Indulge in illicit love, which never can bring hapiiiness. This applies to you, too. Unhappy Husband. But are you sure you really tried to make your marriage a success? It is quite evident the wife has not done her part, if she shirked even her household duties. Perhaps you had dreams of being an “old man’s darling,” wife. And. Unhappy Husband, did you make an honest attempt to adjust yourself to the ways of your young wife? Be honest with yourselves and each other about this: for, even If you should separate, your experiences in this relationship should help you. Marriage does not make itself happy. Man and wife must make it so. v Poor Correspondent Dear Mi Lee: X nil in love with a fellow who is in a burines* that keeps him out of town i great deal.
