LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO RUTH BURKE, CONTINUED. Somebody, Ruth, has talked about the coldness of charity given at a church door, but It is warmth and comfort beside she kiss your husband gives you from a sense of duty. I received a little peck of conjugal pretense on my cheek. I could not by any possibility offer my lips to Jack, although I don’t mind telling you, dear, that I was so glad to see that stubborn man that I could have fallen on his neck and hugged him until he was breathless I think I Fhould have done this Immediately nd then I would have broken down and wept. If that blessed lamb of a baby had not caught sight of me and almost hurled himself out of Sartih's arms. She pm him on the floor, and he was so anxious to reah me that his uncertain little legs doubled up and he fell sprawling and bumped his Of course, he sqt up a yell that be heard In the next house. Jack and I both made a dive to pick him up, and in doing so our heads came together with a resoundiiff; smack. It almost knocked me off my feet. Little Jack cried harder than ever, as* he thought something terrible had happened; I picked him up, and Jack had forgottbn everything but the physical pain to himself. I heard an exclamation from mother, and turned to look at him to find* the blood running down his face. “What is the matter?” I exclaimed. “Nothing.” answered Jack, "except I think I'm blinded. Jackie, go to Sarah fcr a minute. Mother must take care of daddie, who has hurt himself." In the meantime mother had brought a wet cloth and we proceeded to wash away the blood. We found that the circle comb with the wreath of flowers that I had been wearing on my bobbed hear had broken and one of the teeth had cut a gash in Jack’s face just at the side of his eye. He seemed to think it had entered the eye itself. Os coiyse consternation ruled. Mother sent directly for the doctor. I made Jack lie down upon the sofa, and covered his face with, a cloth | wet In diluted horaclc acid until the I physician should arrive. “Don’t worry, Leslie,” Jack said. I "It’s feeling better now. Take off j the cloth and let me see if I can see.” “I don’t think we would better do that. Jack, dear, until the doctor comes. I haven’t been able to staunch the blood entirely. "Oh, darling I never will forgive myself if you have been blinded.”. "Don’t worry, Leslie. It was nothing you could help. It was just one of those things that happen.” Jack raised his arm and pulled me down to him.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Earning Ability Gives Wife New Independence Whether her “economic independence” is a weapon of offense 0/ of defense, the modern wife clings to it tenaciously. It is far more to her than a mere phrase. • *
Sometimes she uses it unwisely. She knows that she is capable of making her way in the world, and so, if she happens to be out of patience with her husband, she may act hastily and unthinkingly. But frequently her “economic independence” is used as a means of defense. Her mother, or perhaps her grandmother, had almost no recourse if her husband mistreated her. She had to stay with him, even though he made her miserable and had only a bad influence on children. The wife of today need not, and often does not, put up with such conditions. She has her “economic independence.” She can support

This time it was no peck of conjugal pretense, hut a long, loverlike kiss, into which for the time went much of the soreness of my heart, and I think much of Jack’s suspicion and wounded pride. Mother, with hi*r usuaj wisdom, had sent the car which brought me back from the party,to get the doctor. and he. thinking that dad was worse, came immediately. Avery quick examination showed that although painful, Jack's eye and eyesight wero intact. Finding this I, who up to this time had been quite calm, quietly fainted away. (Copyright. 1524.

Martha Lee Says-
herself and, if necessary, her children. She does not like the thought of a broken home, or divorce, any more than did her ancestors, contrary to the claims of her censors. Be. she prefers these to living with a man whom she can neither love nor respect, who gives her food, shelter and clothing, but robs her of her self-respect and her children of their ideals. Vain Regrets Drar Miss Lee: I wonder whether you could, help me: or my case may be a lesson to some other loolish husband. 'My wife left me. telling me no human could live with a man as stubborn and lifeless as me. I see now phe was right. She was a good housekeeper, good cook, neat dresesr and I know she once loved me. I would go for weeks and never speak to her except when she asked me something. I now can see why her love for me died. She says no more cruel and inhuman treatment.* which she says is her ground for divorce. Please tell me just what 1 could do to convince her of my love. THE HITMAN JACKASS. Some day men like you are going to wake up to the fact that women can earn their own brfad and butter in these days, and so they don’t have to stand for anything their husbands do. “Don't try to get your whfe to come back to you now; of course she would refuse. But ask her to give you a chance to prove your character really has undergone a complete change before she applies for a divorce. It is just possiblo she will give you such a chance.

Menus for a Family Tested by Sister Mary
ISTER MARY has arranged a number of menus for the normal family. T his family is supposed to Consist of a mother, who does her own cooking and meal planning, a father who is away tot luncheon and children between the ages of 4 and 11. Every menu is planned to furnish the children with their needs as well as provide balance rations for adults. Simple desserts for children, substantial soups and vegetables will prove welcome recipes to many women. Menu for Normal Family Breakfast —Canteloupe, top milk or cream, whole wheat cooked cereal, crisp bacon, corn muffins, butter, honey, coffee or cocoa, orange juice. Luncheon —Cream of corn soup, toasted bread sticks, tomato salad, bran bread and butter sandwiches, iced tea or milk. Dinner —Consomme, baked * fish, baked potato, steamed spinach, fruit salad, cup custard, coffee. This menu Is planned for the woman who must be her own cook and cook for adults and children. In this day of scientific feeding for children between the ages of 4 and 11 many mothers find it almost necessary to prepare separate meals for their “juniors.” The aim of these menus is to furnish nourishing, easily digested food at the family table quite as suitable for youngsters as grownups. ‘ A perfectly healthy child of 9 or 10 years should he able to digest a "new moon” of cantaloupe, but ! orange juice Is preferable for a younger child or an older one with ja rather delicate digestion. * If the child wilj drink plain milk ; it Is more desirable than cocoa. Honey is an excellent sweet for children. Without the comb for the youngest. The cream of corn soup for luncheon is the “main dish” of the meal and Is planned specially for the children.

IGNORANCE CHIEF CAUSE OF MANY U.S.BABYDEATHS Out of Every Thousand*Born Seventy Six of Them Die, By RUTH FINNEY. limes Washington Bureau, 1522 yew York Ave, WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—Suppose babies could choose where they are to be born. Then the United -States woujd indeed have reason to feel ; grave fear for its birth rate. * Baby's chances to live, if born in • the United States, are not so good, for of twenty-three modem nations surveyed by the Children’s Bureau, twenty were found more careful of. the lives of mothers, and babies than is the 'States. Os every thousand babies born alive in the United States, seventy-. six die. In New Zealand, the safest: land for babies, only forty-two out of every thousand die. Steps to Save Babies . ( But in the last twelve years, since the Children’s Bureau has been func-; tioning, the United States has wa-' somewhat to the gravity of the situation and has taken some very definite steps to save its babies. The bureau lias found that ignor-', ance is the leading cause of Infant deaths. A test was made in Baltimore, where a clinjc was established to give careful prenatal instruction, care at childbirth, and supervision in the first years of the child's jife. Ppor mothers were given the clinic’s attention in order that the part poverty plays in infant death might be determined. It was found at the end I of the experiment that in spite of I poverty of its patients the death rate | among those treated at the clinic ! was half of that in the remainder j of the etty. Only two States had’ “mothers’ | pension” laws in 1912 and now the [ idea has been adopted in forty-two States. Congress appropriates a milI lion and a quarter annually | to help this work. The “mothers’ pension” laws proI vide State aid for a mother left in stringent circumstances', so that the children may remain in the home under their mother’s care instead of being forced* into an institution. Missouri and Illinois were , the first States to recognize the benefit to the child and to the Nation of home training. Now ajl States have fallen in line except New Mexico, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina. Kentucky and the District of Columbia.
