MANY LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES BUT THEY DON’T KNOW IT

That's Martha Lee's Answer to Mrs. John, Who Says

Husband’s Relatives Are 'Uppity' Because They Belong to Couple of Card Clubs. By Martha Lee “All the world is queer except me and thee, and even thou are a little queer at times/’ the old Quaker said to his wife. He was honest about that. Most of us feel in our hearts that it is the other fellow who is out of step.

If we live In glass houses, we usually don’t know It, and we’re often guilty of generously advising someone else to take the beam out of his eye, blissfully unconscious that we may have one in each of ours which could very well stand removing. So it goes and “faults are what the other folks have,” makes a nice comfortable conclusion. Most of us mean well, anyway. Our attitude in this matter simply comes from lack of understanding of the other persons’ problems. We don't see why . they do a certain way, because not seeing the inside of their mental work shop, we don’t know all the moods, inclinations, hard faqts that they may have to deal with. Nor, of course, do they know ours. If we could always understand each others’ point of view! Neighbors In-Laws, Doar Martha Le: What would you do 1f you were in my placer I am a mar* jrled wonum 27 years old. My husband And T live u*n>Bß the street from hla mother and hia two grown sisters and I do not like their attitude at all. They are very narrow minded and while they think they are good ohureh member* arid very much society folks because they boons’ to a couple of card clubs. I know that they nre very common place. I should like to figure out why they can think so much of themselves. I have a notion to move out of the neighborhood. What do you think aboUt U? MRS. JOHN. Unless you change your thought about your husband’s people, It might be well to get a house In another neighborhood, because It does no one any good to harbor envious or critical thoughts. However, why not try to get their point of view and be more friendly to their Ideas? We cannot all see alike, you know. Don’t have a superior feeling to them, else they will feel it. All things are to be judged in this world only by comparison. Perhaps your best efforts might seem commonplace to someone else —and so It goes. Be charitable to their ambitions. She Bears the Burdens Bear Martha Bee: I have been married five years and I have always worked hard. My husband only made small wakes and I skimoed and saved and pieced quilts and kept boarders. I have had only one hat the cost a dollar since I nave been married. I have to wear cast off clothes of my sisters. Now in the last year, my husband simply si*s back and won t work. : id when I complain of my work and my health 1.0 says I am lazV. I am now working for a party that has a business place and I should be off duty Sundays, but I have a washing to do that brings mo in *3.50 and I never I fear my dear friend, that you are suffering mostly from yow own handiwork. You’ve undoubtedly assisted your husband to his present permanent sitting position by taking both his and your responsibility. There are some men who naturally shuffle off the job of provider, if friend wife hugs it to her breast. You’ve done too much forging ahead. A little leaning on that hus!>nnd of yours would evidently have better for him. The fact that he worked in the early part of your married life confirms this opinion. With an able bodied husband, you have no business doing that Sunday washing, etc. See if you can make him feel that you believe he can, and expect him to make a living. A Foolish Marriage DEAR MARTHA LEE: I am a girl Ifi years old and I am In love with a young- man 21. We went together one year. Some time ago. I was visiting at a girl’s house. Her brother and we two girls got to drinking. It went to my head and to make a long fUo-y f-v-ort. her brother and I got married. Why X don’t even like him. I love the one I went with first and I can not forget him. What shall I dot B.P. There is no use for me to tell you how foolish you were, because I am sure you realize it already. If you and the young man are absolutely indifferent to each other, I suppose the wise thing to do would be to try and get a divorce. You do not mention the young man’s age that you married. If he happens to be under age, perhaps his parents could have the marriage annulled.

mm and @nnnnnEfD) U LkJ LkJ Ls liu By Amu Austin-——— The drive to the Cluny mansion was a nightmare fer Faith, for the two detectives had sternly enforced their own idea of a suitable seating arrangement. Faith was guarded on the back seat by the silent Boyle, and Farrel rode besidk Bob, who spoke only to reply to a question of the detective. Faith sat huddled in a corner of the seat, her face a white mask of misery and fear. “Better come clean right off with the chief," Boyle said calmly, as he looked at her curiously. “Won’t help matters none to stall around.” “I don’t know anything to tell him,” Faith said dully, but her hands tightened on her handbag, where Cherry’s farewell note lay tightly folded. As the car picked a slow way through the jam of tafflc before the church, Faith saw the Rev. Mr. Ashburn, divested of his black robe and white surplice, appear on the steps and raise his hands as if to deliver a benediction. He was evidently trying to aid the police in dispersing the crowd that milled about the snowcovered church lawn. The Cluny mansion, lessi than half a mile from the fashionable St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, was set In lonely magnificence in the center of a long city block. A tall, thick evergreen hedge enclosed the plot of ground on all four sides. Snow-laden fir and cedar trees dotted the highterraced lawn. A long greenhouse crouched near the hedge on the right, supplying the mansion with an endlesc variety of hothouse flowers. The house itself was a lordly, gothic affair of cream-colored brick. A dozen delicately beautiful turrets tderced the thick gloom of the November night. Light poured from a score of front windows on all three floors. Shades had been yanked up ruthlessly, and Faith saw burly men, some in uniform, .some in plain clothes, passing constantly across those squares of light. Flashlights, in the hands of other police officers, twinkled here and there above the snow carpet of the lawn. The old man who had lived In lonely splendor and who had died alone, unless his murderer had waited to see that his work was well done, was, Ironically, permitted no peace In his death. He was playing the silent, though central role, In Just such a drama as he had so many times described with realistic and horrible details before a trial Jury. As these thoughts passed hazily through Faith’s panic-stricken brain, a sob of pity for the old man whom

When they entered the long, wide main hall of the beautiful old house, 1 through the high-arched Gothic doorway, Faith saw at once that the Cluny clan had assembled. At the foot of the broad, curving staircase stood Alexander Cluny, old Mr. Cluny’s only son, a prominent corporation lawyer, and beside him was his own son, young Ralph Cluny, the second, recently made an assistant district attorney. “I had an usher get them out of the church before I saw you,” Bob whispered to Faith. “I surely hope Alex’s wife Isn’t here. She’s addicted to hysterics.” “I’m glad Mrs. Allbright and Muriel are In Switzerland," Faith answered In a whisper, as the chief of police came shouldering his way through the small crowd In the hall.

NEW VIEWS ON SEX ARE HELD TODAY Fine Veils of Pretense Are Ruthlessly Torn Away by Moderns. By Mrs. Walter Ferguson The question of sex study in the high school results now and then in a veritable upheaval. Certain professors and parents are In favor of it. Certain others are as violently opposed. This barrier is the ono that looms most colossal between the younger and the older generations. Those who were reared in homes where such things were never talked about, and who still, after life’s vast experiences, feel a sense of shame at their mention, cannot acquire the viewpoint of the emancipated young person of today. The fine veils of pretense which were woven by the puritan-minded to make beautiful things which may have been hideous, are being ruthTO EFFACE YOUR COUGH QUICKLY Start at once taking Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound. Made by our own special process, it combines the curative influence of Pine Tar and other healing ingredients with the mollifying demulcent effect of pure Honey.

lessly torn asunder by twentieth century youth. No longer do grownups whisper together In corners. The adolescent 6f today is not consumed by curiosity as was the youngster of the Victorian age. The great verities of life are no longer regarded as something shameful and secret. It looks as if, so long as we know our children must confront life as it is, and not as we would have It be, they should bo taught to look upon it with clear eyes and thus preserve themselves from harm by a knoweldge of its evils and its beauties. Twenty-five years ago, girls were given in marriage by mothers who had reared them in toftl ignorance of its realities. Can we wonder that many of them were unhappy and disillusioned? Can we fail to see that because of this they made the poorest sort of wives? Today’s mother doe* not want this to hap pen to her child. Bex Is something we cannot lg-

nore. The facts of existence are here and cannot be covered up. It is only the part of wisdom to teach the young to take them, not an monstrous evils, but us something magnificent and wonderful If they are properly regarded. Teach them and get it over with. Perhaps then they will not, like the present gen ©ration, spend aU the rest of thoir lives talking and writing and think ing about sex. Today we are nauseated by bookand plays that are unfit to be read or looked at by intelligently decent people. We are wallowing In a veritable quagmire of “sex stuff. We regard everything from the se angle. May not this be because we are reacting from the fact that so many of us were taught that sex was something shameful and vile? Let’s know about It, by all means, and then perhaps we will not discuss it so much.
