WIVES, DON’T LET YOUR KITCHEN TELL TALES ON YOU
Lint Under the Beds, Late Meals, Big Grocery Bilis Announce You Are Not on to Your Job—Thrift, Order, Cleanliness Make for Harmony in the Home. By Martha Lee Does your kitchen tell tales on you? Do dusty comers and lint under the bed and late meals and monotonous items on the grocery bill announce that you are not “on” to your job of keeping house?
Do related things like thrift, order, cleanliness, intelligence, travel together and make for harmony in the home? And do thrift, limited finances, narrowed, pinched outlook, discontent, go hand in hand into this daily experience we call living? The disciplined mind and heart do indeed appear to draw toward them the ordered an prosperous life. Planned menus, bills held within bounds, system, may not #m so very important, but it’s the invariable report of social workers, and Judges of marriage relation courts, that the destinies of thousands of married partnerships are controlled by these unromantic details.
Loafs on Her Job Dear Martha Lee: You are always telling the women how to manage their husbands. Wish you would give some advice to a puzzled and disgusted man. I married a girl X dearly loved less than five years ago. It seems like forty years anyway. I did not get “tired" of her in the usual sense. I certainly have gotten tired i of the pig pen I call home, k I leave her in bed tn the morning, When ■ I come home the bed may be or may not be made. 3he dusts when we are to have company, cooks when she feels like it and goes to the movies, plays cards or shops the rest of the time. And the bills! ■Whew! Ido not understand it. We don't have anything fit to eat. but the grocery bill Ib enormous. We don’t quarrel. I won’t do that, but something has to ohango here. Am I to blame? Please advise me. DISGUSTED HUSBAND. Try to awaken your wife into Realization of what’s she’s gradually de-strn.-tn" v n ti'. wi-o pot. to quarrel,

but you are hot wise If you simply accept the untidiness and disorder. Perhaps, owing to earlier lack of training, your wife does not know how to do, how to begin on the business of housekeeping.

If you are firm and talk with sufficient earnestness, I believe you’ll awaken her. Certainly It would be a shame to let your married life be wrecked.

Saint anil Sinner By ANNE AUSTIN
At that ghastly sound in the room which Jim L-ane had stricken to silence with his stern, sad words—“l’d rather see you in your shroud than in that there dress, to marry the man you’sve give your word to#'— Cherry flung her bare white arms above her head, dropping the cloud of her wode i ig veil, so that it fell in a pile at her feet. “Oh, oh!” Her voice rose on a high, shrill note of hysteria and anger and grief and pain. Faith, watching her, her own limbs drugged with terror and the natural revulsion of a reserved nature toward a “scene,” knew that Cherry could not have controlled herself to save her life. “Cherry! Baby!” Mrs. Lane moaned, reaching out a trembling hand. “Just look what you’ve done, Jim Lane, before Cherry’s hightoned friends!” “Shut up!” Cherry screamed. *‘Oh, God! I wish I were dead. My own father wishes I were dead! He tells me so! When all I’m trying to do is to help my family, to make somebody of myself! Tou want me to marry a day laborer like you, I guess!” she whirled upon her father, who sat looking up at her with stunned, almost stupid brown eyes. “If I’d married Chester Hart or some other poor, but honest working man—” her voice curled like the lash of a w'hlp around the despised words—"you’ve had slobbered all over me with Joy, and you’d have been perfectly satisfied to see me slave and get old and ugly and raise a houseful of brats, like Mother did! But just because I’ve got the looks and the brains to snatch off a rich husband, you’d rather see me in my shroud. “I hate you!” her passionate voice shrilled on. “I. hate everybody! Oh! Oh!” Regardless of the wedding veil which wounil itself disastrously about her tiny, spurning feet, she sped from the room, shaking off Faith’s detaining arm as she passed h.r, • -
contest will not be determined by the reasons why Miss Pickford did not bob her hair. The basic idea of this contest Is to ascertain the reasons, real reasons, that have prompted girls and women to bob or refrain from bobbing their own locks. According to telephone calls to the contest editor so far, it seems that the bobbed and unbobbed are running a mighty close race in Interest. So write your letter at once.

“Let’s get out of this house, Fay!” “Long” Lane rose, pulling his frightened sweetheart to her feet. “Say, Dad, if you want to beat her again, I won’t try to stop you. Good Lord! What a family!” Fay Allen, with a shy, frightened glance over her shoulder at “Long,” advanced perkily to where Mrs. Lane sat rocking and weeping. “Good-by, Mrs. Lane, I’m—l’m glad I met you. I had a nice— ’’ she caught herself up in time, blushing furiously. "Good-by, Mr. Lane. I—l hope I'll see you again soon.” Faith suddenly found herself. In spite of her terrible distress liking the way the girl they had all called “that fast Fay Allen” was bravely going through the gestures of polite leave-taking. Even Selma Pruitt and Frances Warren were smiling almost naturally as they acknowledged her timid farewells- “ Good-by, Fay.” Faith moved forward suddenly, laid a hand on the sleeve of the little brown velvet suit. “You must come again soon for dinner. I’m awfully glad you and Long are such good friends.” “Thank you—Faith,” Fay Allen’s lips trembled, then suddenly she raised her face, confidingly as a child, for a kiss. “I think she’s sweet," Faith whispered to “Long” at the door. “Let’s undress. I feel foolish in this Colonial dress, after wearing short skirts,” Selma Pruitt seized Frances’ hand. “Oh, Faith, darling, would you mind bringing our clothes to your room?” With a heavy heart, Faith went slowly to Cherry’s door, after having shown Frances and Selma to her own room. As she had expected, the door was locked. She bent and called softly through the keyhole. , "Please, dear, the girls want to dress. May I just come in and get their clothes?” There was no answer, but Faith heard the thud of slipperless little feet as Cherry slipped from the bed upon which she had thrown herself to weep and rage. Aftej- a long
minute the door was opened a few Inches and Cherry’s bare arms, piled high with dresses and hats, were thrust out, though her body and face remained concealed. When she had fiung the things at Faith's feet, she banged the door. “Vulgar little beast! I’m going to tell George Pruitt I don’t care what he says, I’m not going to be her bridesmaid! She's os common as pig’s tracks, no matter how pretty she is! I’ll do anything for Faith, for George’s sake —though it looks pretty plain to me that she won’t marry him—but I’ll be doubledarned If I'm going to make a fool of myself— ’’ “That wedding dress!’’ Frances Warren's laughing voice cut in.
