IF YOU ONLY GET HAOF A LOAF, DON’T THROW IT_AW AY

Weary Wives Should Remember Stenographer’s Job Is Not a Long Holiday and Single Women Should ► Be Glad They Are Independent. By Martha Lee Let’s not forget—half a loaf is better than no loaf. If we don’t get the best, and what we expected to draw, we’re foolish if we don’t hold to the second best and pick out some of the plums that are surely in this half loaf of ours.

If you're a wife and are deadly tired of cooking and washing dishes, remember that hitting a typwriter or balancing figures isn't a long holiday, either. If you’re not a wife and have the uncomfortable feeling < * being quite unnecessary to any one’s happiness, just reflect how many wives would be glad for your independence, your ability to choose what you want, go where you please. Ts you’re the head of a family and sick unto death of bills that descend with the regularity of clock work, think how many men there are (though they might not admit it) vvho'd be proud to death of your little Jimmy who’s the living image of his dad, or of the little bobbedhaired girl who thinks you're the greatest man in the world. Life is a series of compromises. Few come anywhere near realizing their Ideals. So if only half your dreams come true, and that only for a day, be glad for that day and happy in the memory of It. Disappointed With Voice Dear Martha Lee: I wonder if you could give me some encouragement. It just seems as if I have almost nothing to live for. I thought I had a very good voice and I expected to make something bf it, but since I have come to Indianapo. ps, Ive about come to the conclusion that no amount of lessons are going to make me more than ordinary. I have a very excellent business training. but I hate the grind of business. I don’t care for men and so T don't think of a domestic life. What consolation can I find in all this? MARIE. You show that you have good balanced judgment, Marie, in looking the situation fairly in the face and being unafraid to acknowledge your short comings, I should say, the business field would be your best bet and you could break the grind of it by keeping on with your voice train ing. Perhaps, by the way, you’re just a little discouraged about that voice. Maybe there really are possibilities.

Wealthy RALPH CLUNY. 68. waß murdered just before he was to have married frivolous CHERRY LANE, 18. Immediately Cherry disappears leaving a ■lots for her sister. FAITH, saying she ould not ,go on with the wedding ' herr.v’e elopement with CHRIS WILEY becomes known. Cherry has been engaged several times Once she tried to run away with AT.ISERT ETTELSON. a married traveling ' desman, and was rescued by her sister and 808 HATHAWAY. Faith’s fiance mid nephew of Cluny. Cherry admits that Cluny attempted t.u force the marriage but protests her Chris Wiley, thinking ';9 knew that Cluny had willed much money to Cherry. Charles Reilly Neff, ‘ho drew up the will, testifies that Cluny made Cherry his chief beneficiary .vlictlier or not she married him. The coroner’s jury releases , Cherry, •lit immediately she and her husband •re arrested b.v DEVLIN, deputy district ittomey. .* _ i aith is furious when Bob tells her ATI ORNEY STEPHEN CHURCHILL, whom ne employed, thinks circumstances are against Cherry and suggests a plea of self-defense aa the best chance of her ■ i-eedom. Peculiar footprints and a bit of torn strap suggest that the murderer might be a cripple, but this evidence la not presented. Cherry is indicted for first degree murder. _ Bob plays burglar in Ralph Cluny s office and finds the threatening letter written him, which Cherry had described. Faith had been in Chicago only twice before in her life, and she knew almost nothing of the huge, 1 clamorous city through whose business district she found herself wandering rather forlornly one Monday morning early in December, two huge suitcases bumping against her knees. She had registered at a cheap hotel near the station, and her cheeks were still burning with the flush of humiliation at the curious stare with which the hotel clerk had regarded her after reading lire name, “Faith Lane,” written in a clear, vertical hand. It was unbelievable to her that that modest name was famous now, or rather, notorious. In her tiny, cheaply furnished loom she had searched the classified telephone directory for the names of furrirers and modistes, making a list of those that seemed at all promising. She had come to Chicago with such high hopes, but as she walked from one unfamiliar street to another, she Became almost fej.l with fear and distaste for her selfimposed task. With the assistance of an occasional policeman, she had found several of the addresses on her ft, but each time bad turned away,

Anyway, be glad for the abilities you have —that will help them to increase. He Invited Her Home Dear Martha Lee: In the same building that 1 word is a man 28 years old. I accepted an invitation to go to a show with him the other night, but he claimed his work held him until such a late hour that when we got down town, it was too late. Then we took a walk and he asked me to go to his boarding house, which I refused. He also asked me to his office. I refused. This morning he acted angry and said lo me. “This is the end of everything.” What do you think of his actions? X am not experienced in the ways of the worid. PUZZLED. I think your inexperience renders you unable to cope with a man of this kind. His suggestion to you was an insult of course, and if I were you I’d think no more of him and have no further engagements with him. , Can She Break Him? Dear Martha Lee: Could you suggest some way 1 could break my husband running around with other women! I've seen him with different women at different times, but lie doesn’t seem to care if I do. . t 0 ' eave him, but 1 can't put up with this much longer. Can I break him! t , E. M. I m afraid there is little you can do. E. M. If it were just one woman who has interested him, the fascination might wear off, but as you describe the situation, he seems to be flpuntir/g his infidelity, which would indicate absolute Indifference to you. I believe you have little happiness to look forward to with such a man. “Blue Eyes” is worried because her mother, who has endured much poverty and sorrow and has been divorced from a worthless husband, threatens suicide. Well, “Blue Eyes,” the chances are that just threatening gave iter relief and it’s very unlikely that she would cause you this worry. Impress her with the fact that to do so would make your life harder and her mother love will keep her fro mit, I am sure.

physically unable to force her feet to carry her into the .imposing, ex-clusive-looking shops. At last, weary to exhaustion with the weight of the suitcases, and. dazed by the roar and strangeness of the city, which seemed like a great, sprawling, gray beast crouched to spring upon her, she turned into a side street. A beady-eyed little old Jew stood in the door of the furrier’s shop, his beak nose quivering for the scent of a customer. Without giving herself a chance to think, Faith accosted him, breathlessly, the flush of shame straining her pale cheeks darkly. “Do you—do you buy fur coats? Slightly used coats?.” His bright black eyes scanned her shabby old brown cloth contemptuously. “I’ll show you,” Faith answered hurriedly, pushing past him into the dark narrow interior of the shop. “Here it is!” she said eagerly, lifting the lovely, rich thing from the suitcase. “Genuine mink. It—it cost $3,500.” The shopkeeper’s hands seized upon the coat with almost savage avid’ity. She watched him in an agony of suspense as his hands smoothed or ruftiled the sleekbrown fur, and as he flipped the coat wrong side out to pick at the exquisite brown satin lining. There was not a sign of wear upon the lining. The coat could have gone upon the display rack of the most exclusive furrier In Chicago without a minute’s work being done upon it. “T’ree hundred dollars!” The Jew. lifted the coat from the counter and reached for a hanger as if the transaction were closed. “But —I just told you!” Faith gasped. “It cost $3,500. Give me back my coat!” She leaned across the counter and made a futile grab at it, her hands trembling with fear. “Five hundred dollars und—no questions asked,” the Jew grinned at her like an evil conspirator. “I got to remodel it, make anew coat out of it—” “It’s the latest style,” Faith protested, not understanding his innuendo. “It’s new, I tell you! I—l’ve had it less than two months and it’s been worn very little. Give it back

to me! I’ll take it somewhere else!” “Und go to jail for stealing it!” the old man snarled at her, holding the coat out of her reach. “Better you thank God you sell it to me—to old Jacob Blumfleld —who don’t ask no questions.” “You think I stole It?” Faith's voice rose shrilly in her terror and anger. “If you don't give it back to me immediately, I’ll call the police. I mean it! The coat is mine. I’m not afraid of the police—but you are!” • (Copyright, 1927, NEA .Service, Inc.) NEXT: Faith meets with encouragement in disposing of the coat.

WAISTLINE SHOULD BE WATCHED Stretch if You Would Achieve Slimness, Says Ninon. By Ninon For NEA Service If it were possible to write anything helpful about the pursuit of beauty without dragging exerciso in by its ears I would be glad to act as the scribe. But to attain beauty if you weren’t born that way, or to preserve it if you were, without exercise is like expecting a masterpiece to bloom on canvas just because the paints are near it. Can’t Bea Venus We can’t all be Venuses and Dianas, but we can keep our complexions clear, our eyes bright, out hair glossy—and our figures, symmetrical and slender if exercise and diet instead of expecting sweet lotions and pleasant scented baths to perform miracles. Watch your waistline! • Here is where excess flesh usually manifests itself first and here is the place to fight it. Keep Health Up All exercises that stretch and bend the trunk are valuable, not only in keeping down your v r eight and keeping your waist measure within reason, but to stimulate the digestive and vital organs of this region. Remember that wherever you accumulate excess flesh you weaken the organs that function in that particular locality. % Stretching and bending exercises are the best means of reducing flesh and redistributing that which has been allowed to take its own course. Here is an excellent one to begin with: Bend at the waistline as far as you can, first to the right, then to the left. Then revolve your body, using the hips as a pivot, describe a circle with your shoulders, five times grinding toward the right and five times toward the left. Another helpful one is to stand with the feet slightly apart and the arms outstretched. Then with the right hand touch the right foot and with the left one stretch upward. Reverse the action for symmetrically development. Muscle Puller Here is another that stretches and pulls the muscles that are so apt to become lazy and inefficient. Stand erect, then bend at the waistline until you can touch the floor with the palms of your hands —your feet should be a few inches apart when you begin. Then in this doubled-up position, kick upward first with one foot and then the other. Don't be too ambitious at the start, so as not to strain yourself, but increase as the muscles become accustomed to the idea. Your state of mind has much to do with what you can accomplish. If you exercise with joy and pep and kid yourself into believing you are having the time of your life, you will get results much quicker than if you consider it so much drudgery, and made it arduous and dull.

girls and those of a man and woman team being offered. The four girls have several numbers done in good looking costumes that are very fine and the team, mostly the woman, offers several dances that are most pleasing to look at. Sparling and Ross in the roles of a second rate prize-fighter and his trainer offer comedy consisting of many wise cracks, most of which are good for a laugh. As an ending to the uet the two men take a song and give their impression of ho\V it would be sung in many different countries. Is a good bit. In the act of George Lovett and • Company one hears snajehes of about all the song you can remember. In the act it appears as if the performers are running through a list of song titles, so many are heard. It all comes about when the audience requests number of Mr. Lovett, who leaves the stage and the two women play the selections without any apparent connection with him. Purdey and Fain, a man and a woman, indulge in a lot of comedy and bring the act to a climax by a dive off stage by the man.

In a harmless — yes, healthful—little tablet called inidol. Midol is a more remarkable means of relieving such pain than even a habit-forming drug. It acts directly on the organs affected b.v menstruation, and relief comes in five to seven minutes. Don't have another day of forced quiet, of pain, low spirits or even discomfort. Midol is effective twelve hours or more. Yet it does not depress the heart, is not narcotic, nnd is utterly harmless. All druggists. 40 cents, in thin aluminum box that fits the smallest purse.
