MARTHA LEE FINDS MANY THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR

Things We Love and Reverance Haven’t Really Changed —Bobbed-Haired Modern Mothers Who Serve , Turkey Just the Same at Heart. By Martha Lee * “Let's be thankful 1” being the proper slogan for today, we know of nothing for which we can be more thankful than the sample fact that a lot of things we love and reverence haven’t really changed.

All the Tipe talk abotit home life being unnecessary; that home and family ties are losing their hold; that love and sentiment have passed into the haze of bygone things—we can just breathe a of thankfulness today and say to the pessimist, “It isn’t true yet—and we don’t believe it will be.” We get a little confused sometimes. Modern apartments, with their two-by-four dining facilities do not leave much room for both the family and the Thanksgiving turkey, but if "stone walls do not a prison make, or iron bars a cage,” neither do great heavily carpeted rooms, with loads of furniture and masses of decoration necessarily make a home. A mother with bobbed hair may not be quit so picturesque when she> serves up said turkey (or whatever takes it place today), but her heart isn’t really changed. Her conversation may be sprinkled with references to movies, permanents, etc., but mother-love still burns within her anxious breast. Daughter may speak lightly and casually of her “boy friend,” but the weaver of romances is spinning within her busy brain; and father and brother, in spite of all reports to the con-

'Here Are Jks Improvements

Review this impressive list of improvements —a notable twelve-months’ record of progressive engineering: Anew five-bearing crankshaft (replacing the three-bearing type). Anew two-unit starting and lighting system (replacing the single unit type). Air cleaner of improved design. Spark and throttle levers placed above the wheel for greater convenience. Rumble seat for Sport Roadster. Stylish new body lines. £ Rich and attractive new’ colors. Improved all-steel body construction. Increased driving vision. Indirect dial lighting for De Luxe and Sport types. Far greater riding comfort. Impressive new smoothness and silence of engine operation. Greater beauty, greater convenience and remarkable new silence and smoothness of engine operation have followed these vital betterments. Yet Dodge Brothers low prices remain unchanged— values certainly that no motorist can now afford to overlook! Tourng Car $ 871 Coupe 922 Sedan 976 Special Lei an 1028 Delivered

trary, still find that “home” Is a goOdly sounding word and that nothing really takes its place. Girls Among Themselves Dear Martha Lee: I was clad to read what you said the other day about girls not changing at heart and that sentiment was not dying even though that Chii'aeo judge claimed it was. Any one who thinks that business or any thing else is making girls hard add indifferent to love and marriage should bo with a bunch of girls when they are talking among themselves. I am in charge of the welfare department of girls in a factory here in Indianapolis. hear the frankest conversation from the triple and know as you say. that fpminfne hearts do not change in one generation.” MATRON. What a wonderful opportunity yon have to advise and help these girls. I’m sure you won’t have much difficulty in thinking of what to be thankful for today.

I love her and some times think I would like to have her back. Shall I Tonrel her or what? R. L. J. It looks as if you would be more than wasting time, R. D. J., to again go with a girl whose word you cannot depend upon, and who has proved that she would deceive you. Think what kind of a wife a girl like would make! Better put no more thought on her. No, all girls are not like that. I assure you, but your faith in womanhood would he shattered if you continued going with girls of this caliber. Find you another girl, and thank your lucky stars you’ve broken with this one.

*‘l’m ready to help,” Faith came into the dining room where Cherry was again seated at her task of addressing the envelopes of the wedding invitations. “Have you done many?” “About fifty,” Cherry answered. “Madame Denise kept asking me to try on things. Say, Faith, do you think folks are going to laugh at me for sending out invitations with the words, 'No presents’ in the left-hand corner?” Before Faith could answer, Mrs. Lane came waddling into the room. “I never heard of such foolishness,” she grumbled. “ ‘No presents'! Every big bug in-town would have sent something swell—” “But Muggy, darling, I can see Ralph's viewpoint,” Cherry protested. “It isn’t as if we were a young couple, just starting out to fix up a home. He’s lived In that old mansion of his ftfr thirty years, and it’s stocked with all the silver and lamps and gegaws and linens that people usually deluge a bride with. It would really be horribly embarrassing to get a lot of the usual wedding junk and have no place to put ft. “Oh, Faith, Ralph says he simply won’t have a best man, and I can’t really blame him, the poor darling. But he’s glad I want to have Bob as an usher.” Faith bent her blushing face closer over her work, writing In a fine, tall, erect hand, surprisingly delicate and beautiful. “Joy had a most awful fight today In school," Cherry announced suddenly. “The kids were teasing her about my wedding, and she pitched Into a whole bunch of them. Miss Peabody sent her home In disgrace, with a note —” ”1 do wish,” Mrs. Lane Interrupted, “that you’d quit gallivantin’ around, Faith, and pay more attention to your home. If you'd been here I’d have marched you right 'over to that school with Joy;, to give that Miss Peabody a piece o’ your mind. She’s always pickin' on Joy, and I'm gettln’ sick and tired of it. And Joy wore the same dress to school three days this week. If you stayed heme and ’tended to your work —” "I’m sorry, Mother,” Faith spoke meekly, but resentment showed hot in her cheeks. “I've only been out of the house three or four times during the day for the last three or four weeks. What happened when Joy came home. She isn’t here now.” “I made her take a bath and put on a clean dress —you ought to have seen her!” Cherry laughed. “She was bloody from top to toe —nose j bleed, you know—and her tan linen j dress was tom from the shoulder to i the hem. Then I called up Miss Peabody and laid the law down to I her—oh, in a i>erfectly nice way, but | I didn’t mince matters, I can tell j you. She’d said in the note —it’s; over there on the sideboard —that unless Joy could behave more like | a little lady and less like a hooligan j — yes, she used that very word!— j that measures would have to beta- ] ken, meaning of course that they would expel her from school. “Well, I simply told her that if Tdie didn’t stop persecuting Joy that j Mr. Cluny, who's on the school board you know, would take the matter [up officially. And I also told her that after Christmas my little sitter would be removed to the Misses Dean’s private school anyway, but that I hoped she would not make it necessary for Mr. Cluny to take the matter up with the school board before then." “That’s a heavy Ritz line,” Faith laughed, “did it work?” “I’ll tell the world!” She simply groveled. Said that undoubtedly Joy had exaggerated things, as children will do, but that she would personally see that the other children did not continue to tease her. "I’m going to show this town that they can’t thumb their noses at Mrs. Ralph Cluny! Oh, by the way, Muggy, darling, Ralph’s doing the most wonderful thing. Guess!” “Bought you a sable coat?" Mrs. Lane inquired, “or a trip to Europe for a honeymoon?” "Oh, those —of course!” Cherry brushed such obvious generosities. “He’s having his partner, Mr. Neff, draw up his will for him, and can you imagine it —he’s not waiting un. til we <jre married to name me as his principal heir—or heiress. He’s putting in a clause that say that ‘my dearly beloved fiancee. Charity Amanda Lane' —doesn’t my name simply slay you? “Anyway, it says, ‘my dearly beloved fiance. Charity Amanda Lane,' is to receive such and such a part of his estate —he won’t tell me just how much, but he does say it is most of It, except for some bequests to his grandchildren and a teeny bit to Mrs. AUbright and Alexander Cluny, who have enough of their own anyway, is to come to me, in case he dies before the wedding. Os course, he'll make anew wilt, one that couldn’t He broken by any court in the land, as soon as we are married. -Isn't he darling, honestly?" “What would happen In case you

broke It off, didn't marry him?” Faith asked. “Oh," Cherry spoke airily. “I suppose he’d change his will after he was sure it was all off, but don’t you worry. I’m going to freeze on to my million. Os course, I don’t, say it would break my heart If he died before Nov. 25 ” "Cherry!” Mrs. Dane was shocked for once at an impudence from her daughter. "Don't spank. Muggy!” Cherry laughed. “He won't die! No such luck! But. at that, he's a nice old duck, Isn't he?” (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service, Inc.) * t NEXT: Cherry's trousseau is finished and the bridesmaids invited to inspect it.
