TO BE MODERN, YOU SHOULD READ DIVORCE ETIQUETI

Then as a Hostess You Make the Mistake of Seat* ing a Guest Next to an Says Martha ’ Lee —Advises Disappointed Bride. By Martha Lee Here's a sure enough “modern”’ stem! A national authority on etiquette has included in her new .book a whole chapter demoted to “Divorce.”

In it, she takes up tije correct social attitude for those seeking * divorce, the attitude of divorced! parents toward their children—jr hag mutual friends do when on cord til' terms with both parties, whether divorced couples shall be invited io tiie same affairs and other inl'orec.lion on the subject. "It's certainly a sign of' the time* — a regretful one I suppose,” emar mented a local librarian.. “AnyiMSr it's the first time divorce has been taken up gs a subject for discuss©** by any writer of correct social deportment.” However, the chapter may do gorod 1 in that it may prevent some hostess from seating her guests as one <TM .at a dinner. The honor guest afterwards complained,'’ 1 had a perfectly boresome time. One of my - husbands was on either side and I had no one interesting to talk to.” Seriously though, while a more tolerant world—or rather a world more inured, no longer black-bails divorce, it should not be resorted to without great and momentous cause. Two persons who had planned to he one until parted by death, should give the new partnership at least as fair a trial as they would anew limousine or a console-style radio. Wants a Divorce Dear Martha I,ee: Can you help mr with Ihis problem? 1 have been married only a short time—Nov. 16—and I am tired of my husband. T want to leave him. but m.v folks are much opposed to this and say people will talk. My reason for hatine him is a good one What do you fhink? YOUNG WIFE. You must he very young indeed or without much sense of responsibility to feel that you have justification for leaving your husband this soon. Did you marry him without love? If you did, you still owe him consideration as he was probably unaware of it. Anyway, how can you 1L - \ Your “Regular” PainNowNeedless Menstruation is a perfectly natural process, but the painful part is NEEDLESS. Long study'baa. abso-{ lutely conquered menstrual pain. Science now offers women reliable and complete relief-—in a simple, utterly harmless tablet called midol. This newest achievement of the laboratory has nothing to do with drastic, liabit-forming drugs that kill pain by benumbing the whole system! Midol acts directly on the organs affected by menstruation, and nowhere* else. Yet relief and absolute comfort come in five to seven minutes. So, why have a twinge of pain—feel ‘"low” or even uncomfortable! Or take anything to depress the heart or upset the system? All drug stores have midol in a thin aluminum box that tucks in purse or pocket —for 40 cents. KtAoV Takes Pain Off the Calendar

"Reckon I'd better get along to the hospital to see your ma,’’ Jim Lane said awkwardly, after he had kissed Cherry in a pathetic attempt to show her that he was "on her side" and had forgiven her. "Hospital?” Cherry cried, her pale cheeks going even whiter than the day's horrors had made them. "Oh, Faith, is she worse? I she going to die? Have I killed her? Oh, I'll kill myself if I have!” Her little hands clung to Faith, sheer terror sharpen-

oil her voice to a thin, high wail. “Don’t, honey,’ Faith whispered, one eye on the attentive detectives at the door. "She doesn't know anything about Mr. Cluny's—-death. She only knows that you eloped with Chris at the last minute. And she's really not any worse. Dr. Atkins took that means of safeguarding her from hearing of the—the tragedy and of making it certain that she wouldn’t be called on to testify. Slie doesn’t know you’ve returned; she thinks you're on your honeymoon.” “You thought of that. Faith,” Cherry raised awed, adoring golden eyes to her sister's. "You think of everything, darling. I wonder what the Lane family would have done without you these last few years. v I —l’m Just beginning to appreciate you, Faith. And you haven't scolded me, made me feel like a criminal for marrying Chris. Oh, I’d give anything in the world to be back where I was just three short months ago! Just Cherry Lane, a stenographer who had never dreamed of marrying a rich man. Oh, I've been a fool, Faith, a conceited, headstrong little fool! I wonder that you don't hate me!" “I’ve always loved you more than any one else. Cherry," Faith said very quietly, but her voit/e trembled. "Bob's scowling at me for saying that, honey," she laughed shakily. "Y'ou see, Cherry. Bob insists on tell ing the world that we’re engaged. He wants the right to stand with the Lanes, if there's any trouble. Not that we think there will be," she added quickly. "I knew you were in love with each other, of course,” Cherry flung up her head and smiled gallantly through her tears. “I'm awfully glad. I’ll try to he a better sister than I was a sweetheart. Bob. I treated you rotten, but I guess I’ve paid for a lot of my sins today." "I'm afraid it's going to take me a little while longer to forgive you for letting Uncle Ralph down,” Bob told her without a smile, his blue eyes very serious. Cherry’s small, childish face had become drawn and pinched and very white while he talked, but she took his indictment bravely, unflinching?-/. It was a little less than an hour after the coroner had withdrawn with his jury of six men when a stir in the Hall indicated that the men were coming back into the drawing j room, where the sheeted body of Ralph Ciuny on an improvised bier waited in the impassivity of death, j for vengence. When the room was filled with| witnesses, reporters, detectives and j relatives thq dead man, and the coroner had taken his place at the long table, a hush fell upon the crowd: Dr. Murchison rose, his fare inscrutable, to make his report. NEXT: Cherry’s arrest. (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service. Inc.)

A MOTHER OF A GIRL B.v Mrs. Waiter Ferguson -

This business of being a parent becomes more arduous as the years go on. Boys are a problem, girls are worse, and sometimes one feels that whatever is done is wrong. Mothers who have daughters may be helped by Margaret Wilson’s latest book. “The Painted Room.’ It deals entirely with the problem of a woman, a fine, intelligent and loving woman, and her daughter. The girl is a very lovable lass. Al- { ways a companion, a devoted, frank and truthful pal to her mother, she j presents no apparent difficulties. She I is just like thousands of other girls | who have been carefully brought up j FLAPPER FANNY SAYsT * os mo, you mustht j SOOUP m , ■ \ OISZT ST SEA SERVTCi IK •* ————____J > The trouble with the younger generation is the older genera' tion.

and on whom parents can trust and depend. But this girl, when the crisis comes, deliberately lies to her mother, to whoiy she has never lied before. She ev;raes and deceives and walks alone in secret paths. She shuts her mother out of her heart. She becomes a stubborn and wilful minx, a truly bad girl, who has once been so innocent and sweet. And the lesson to be learned by women in this book is the niagnifi

cent way in which this girl's mother rises to the tragic occasion. It is truly wonderful the manner in which modern parents are improving. In spite of all the criticism to the contrary, I do not believe that men and women have ever before wrestled so hard with their parental responsibilities. And somehow we are gradually coming to seo that we are ulmost as apt to err as the children. All together we hold hands and walk in a sort of murky twilight, striving to

find out the real ways of life, to stumble into the cleanest paths, to search for the best road. And, if we will only love enough, things always come out right in the end. When we realize that we can never arrange their lives for our children, that they are individuals wholly detached from us after ail, and that at best we can only guide them and pray for them and love them, we shall have learned the great lesson that all parents who would be successful, must master.
