Martha Lee Say s Drastic Means Proposed to Stop Illicit Love

Drastic measures would be taken to prevent men and women from invading homes of others, if one of my men readers had his way. He would go so far as to have them whipped at the stake or banished, as were the witches in olden times.

He wonders why women who listen to words of love from married men, think they are so superior to the men’s wives that, should they marry, the men never again would wander away. That’s a logical thought. No matter how often the warning is repeated, a woman who thinks she is in love with a married man refuses to listen when she is cautioned that the man’s wife once heard and believed, just as she nears and believes, promises of everlasting devotion. What egotists women become when they think they are loved! How sure they are of the power of the very charms which the men’s wives used to no avail! Man Expresses Contempt Dear Martha Dec: It is quite amusing to read your column. But don't you think these married men and women are the ’‘cat’s whiskers?” There was “Carries’' letter a few weeks back. She had a married man. with two children, on the string. He told her he loved her. I wonder why she thinks she is so superior to this man’s wife, and why she could not live with her own husband? And there was the other married women who had worked with a man a year and had never had a’quarrel. I wonder whether, if she were in his home and knew he was making love to some silly woman. she would not quarrel for a year. Or does she think she is so superior to this man’s wife that he would be wonderful to her? If she is so wonderful, why could she not keep her own husband? And the manned woman who had received Christmas presents from a married man, and who said she knew he did not give his wife anything. I wonder, if her own husband had done this, how she would have felt toward him? This man’s wife would be lots belter off. to my mind, without such a man. Such men and women should be banished, as the witches were In olden times, for they only set examples before our pure girls and boys. You do not see single girls or boys asking such questions It Is always some married man or woman who has made a muddle of his own home and is not satisfied without trying to break up someone else s Something should be done. If we have to fall back to the old-time whippings at the stake. It will be no more than they deserve. A MAN. Your measures are somewhat drastic, but your reasoning is logical. Not Much Choice Mies Lee; Do you think it could be possible that a man living with his wife would buy Christmas presents for other women and not get his own wife anything? Do you think he could care anything for her. when all his thought were to please the other women. Did it not show that he loved them most? This is what he tella me. but I am not sure he could do this 9 THE OTHER WOMAN. I think the woman who accepts a gift from such a man is as contemptible as the man. CAROL M.: 1. Yes. Carol. 1 know “it is hard when one is young.” But cheer up. You will find boys and girls less thoughtless, as you grow up. I am sure; and you must not be oversensitive. What, do they talk about, in groups? Their studies, their games, their hobbles, almost anything that concerns them directly. Be an interested listener. 2. I don’t believe you would enjoy this boy’s friendship, Carol. Wait until you find someone who can be & true frtes^l. Anti-Prohibitionist Dear Mina Lee: I am in love with a young man. He nays he cares for me, but at times he seems to like whlaky very much. I have asked him to quit drinking He says he will after we are married. Do you think ha will? He is good to me in every other way. and does not run around at night unless I am with him Do you think I would make a mistake in marrying him? GEORGE. If the man does not love you enough to give up whisky to win you as his wife, he will not love you enough to give It up after he has won you. Tell him he must choose between you and whisky. If he chooses you. put him “on probation” for a long enough period to be sure he is not “stalling.” W.C.T.U. Notes

LETTER FROM MARY ALDEN PRESCOTT TO HER SON, JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT MY DEAR SON: I have been back from Dr. Knox, where you probably know I went while Priscilla Bradford was tearing up mj house, preparatory to moving out. Although that was two weeks ago, I am feeling physically very much better. I am still rather mixed up in my mind. It is hard to change one’s mind, John, when one gets to be as old as I am. Although at first I was sure I was not going to like the young woman, whom you had asked to live with me, I am glad that the doctor decided she should come, for I have been pleas antly disappointed. She is most con- j siderat3 of my prejudices (and I have! come to think I have many) and care-! ful, Indeed, of my physical ailments, i John, since I have been home I j Yiave had much time to think. Per- j haps because officious friends have told me of the scandalous gossip that Priscilla Bradford has circulated in the village, I have come to the conclusion that after all the confidence T reposed in her. Priscilla Bradford is not the woman I thought her to be. You see, it seemed to me that a girl with such distinguished ancestry must be truthful and kindly. She was not this and I know now that she encouraged me in my unreasonable dislike of Leslie. John. I must confess Priscilla Brad- ; ford is a gossipy old maid, and I find ! it strange now that I could have be- ! iieved in her so trustfully. From something the young woman who is nursing me said the other day. I am afraid I have lived too long with my dead past. T have adhered too closely i to the standards of other days withrout the understanding now that we ■ have other days we must not only | have other manners but other methj ods. in which to exploit other ideas—yes', and perhaps other principles. At the suggestion of Miss Anderson I am asking you to let Leslie and the baby come down and make me a little visit. Miss Anderson has made me see that adopting a baby is a most beautiful thing. She has made me feel not only that I was very narrow and prejudiced but un--1 charitable to say what I did about this child. She says that without seeing Leslie she feels she is a lovely woman, and although 1 did not tel] her of all the things Priscilla Bradford said about her. she seems to have gained an idea that through jealousy Priscilla. if she did not tell outright untruths, colored every statement which she made about my daughter-in-law. John, I never thought your mother would have to acknowledge to her son that perhaps she had been mistaken. But I am going to do so now, and son. because lam old and 111 and lonely, you will overlook all the things I have said about Eeslie arid persuade her to come to me and bring the baby. Lovingly, YOUR MOTHER. (Copyright. 1924. NEA Service, Inc.) NEXT: Jack Prescott to Sydney j Carton —The individuality of woman. Music Notes

PROMINENT MEN PRAISE WOMEN VOTERSIEAGUE Pamphlet Contains Statements of Approval of Organization, “The work which the League of Women Voters has undertaken in interesting and informing the women voters of the country is certainly work of the highest merit, and all the more valuable because it is performed without partisan contact or *bias. I only wish that similar work could be dons among the male voters of the country, where the need of it is proportionately less,” comments John W. Davis, former United States Ambassador to Great Britain, in a folder recently received from national headquarters by the Indiana League of Women Voters. Herbert Hoover, secretary of State, who addressed the National League of Women Voters at their convention in Des Moines, speaking on the World Court, calls the organization “the most wide-awake body of American citizens in America today.” The booklet, “A Few Important Opinions on the League of Women Voters,” contains quotations from letters and addresses by nationally prominent business and professional men, including Edward A.
