HERE’S A LETTER MISS LEE ASKS READERS TO ANSWER

Two Sisters Have Been Indiscreet in Their Past — One Marries Without Telling Her Husband —The Other Wants to Tell —Who Is Right? By Martha Lee Shall a woman tell? This might be the theme of a letter that has come to this desk and which I wish the readers of this column would answer. Do you approve or disapprove of this letter writer’s ideas?

Tell Fiance Her Past? Dear Martha Leo: I wonder if you think I am right about the following matter. J. like other girls, sacrificed my respect for a sandwich and couple \pf gallons of gas. because the average young chaps have very little money, but demand a lot for their good times. Lost spring I met a dandy fellow. I slowed down and acted like a little angel. He proposed and my parents approved as X had flunked in school anyway. We are now married, are buying a little home and my husband simply adores me. But if he knew I had fooled him, he would kill me as he is such a fanatic about his “ideals. I have never mentioned one of mv wild parties (on these we drank and petted, but bad a limit) but if I refer, to his past he answers with a sheepish grm\ This makes me smile to myself. I have no regrets, for I think “What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.” But here s my problem. M.v little sister about to be married wants to tell her fiance about her wild parties. Says she can’t feel right, to marry him without “fessing up.' I think she is very foolish and is risking a lot as I believe he would give her the air and it would break her heart. Please answer. Let’s hear from you, readers. Husband Has Left Dear Martha Lee: What shall I do? My husband liaß left me and gone home to his people in a different city. He had a serious operation performed some time ago. His people were up here at the time and he has been all for them ever since. They do not like me and set him against me. They make him think he has been overburdened and lie now wants to get rid of everything we have. We are buying a home. We have no children. FAITHFUL WIFE. Undoubtedly your husband’s health has something to do with his present actions. About all you can do is to fight discouragement, sit tight and when he does communicate with you, be loving and 1 kind. Don’t berate his folks or chide him. Just be

Wealthy RALPH CLUNY. 68. was murdered Just before he was to have married frivolous CHERRY LANE. 18. Immediately Cherry disappears leaving a note for her sister I AllH. saying she could not go on with Cherry s elopement with WILEY becomes known. Cherry has been engaged several times Once she tried to ruD away with ALBERT ETTELSON a married traveling salesman and was rescued by her sister and 808 HATHAWAY. Faith's fiance and nephew of Cluny. Cherry admits that Cluny attempted to force the marriage but protests her innocence. money to Cherry, Charles Reilly Neff, who drew up the will, testifies that Clunv made Cherry his chief beneficiary whettr r oc not she married him. The coroner’s iury releases Cherry, but immediately she and . her kwshana are arrested bv DEVLIN deputy district attorney _ . ~ . . m Faith furious when Bob tens her ATTORNEY STEPHEN CHURCHILL, whom he employed, thinks circumstances are against Cherrv and suggests a Dlea or self-defense as (he beet chatice bf her Peculiar footnrints and a bit of torn L strap suggest that the murderer might f be a cripple, but this evidence is not presented. “Look! Can’t you see it?”'Bob demanded, clutching Faith’s arm and drawing her down with him to stare i.t the crusting of snow on the pavement. ‘‘Half a footprint! And made by the left foot! God! V.'e’ve stumbled on something, darling.” “We must measure it,” Faith whispered tremblingly. ‘‘Don’t talk so loud, dear- The man at the newsstand will think we’re crazy. Have you anything to measure with?” Bob Hathaway fumbled In a breastpocket for an envelope, tore a strip from it with shaking hands, then kneeling, down beside the precious half a footprint, he laid the unevenly torn bit of paper across it at its widest part and folded the end of the paper, then put it away carefully in his wallet. “See any more? This one may be an accident,” he gasped, as he sat back on his haunches, his blue eyes snapping with eagerness, color straining the pale bronze of his cheeks. “So many people have walked here,” Faith tried to console him, when they had failed to locate another of the tell-tale footprints. “I’m going to question the newsstand chap,” Bob told her excitedly. “If a cripple has passed here, the old man may have noticed him. Won't do any harm to try and we may learn something tremendous.” The bleary-eyed old man glanced up at them sullenly from under his bushy white brows when Bob put | his question after laying a dollar bill in the greedily out-thrust, calloused old palm. “Thanky, sir, Merry Christmas to ye and the good wife. Keckon it s old Phil, 'the beggar, your s askin’ after. Did ye want to give Phil a Christmas present, sir? I’ll take it for him —” “Yes, I wanted to remember him on Christmas day,” Bob lied. “Where can I find Phil? I hate to let the Are PERIOD OF TORTURE. MAN FINDS RELIEF fROM ITCHING Skin now entirely healed i—“Last June I had an itching irritation on my back, principally between the shoulders, and also on the back of my hands, extending to the shoulders. The skin was apparently clear of any disorder, but the itching was intense. After a vig-o.-Qus rubbing with a Turkish towel there would appear two spots, about an inch apart, which bled from the effects,of the rubbing. I used Bay Rum and other lotions before I tried your Resinol Oihtmetit. At bedtime my back received a thorough wash-, ing with Resinol Soap and a very generous application of Ointment, k after which I would rest quite comIfortably until about two or three in the morning, when I received another application. A third srpon arising would be . enough to make me feel at ease during the day. Thanks to the above treatment, the trouble is now entirely healed.” (Signed) John W. Matthews; 1 Crystal Place, Charlestown (Boston); Mass., Dec. 18. —Advertisement. -

patient and hold on to your little home. He’ll come back to it. Friendship of Two Dear Martha Lee: For some time 1 have known a young man that I now find I care for. I didn't knoW it though when I had dates with a fellow that I got acquainted with at E. M. T. H. S. Now this one I care for. saw me with the other young man and now won't have anything to do with me Since I found that I love him. I want to win back his friendship. I am sure that deep in his heart he cares for me. How dan I be friends with the other boy and yet have the friendship of the one I love? ANXIOUS, A young man who is so sensitive that lie would abandon friendship because he merely saw you with another young man, would be too much trouble to bother with, I think. However, if you think lie’s worth the sacrifice, give up the other, ’as it looks impossible to hold on to both. -jealous of Him Dear Martha Lee: I am a girl 17. I have been going with a 'fellow for two months that 1 like so much. I am jealous of him —very.. He knows it and does things that he knows Ido not like. Shall I show that I care or just act as if I don't notice it? JEALOUS. Certainly don’t show it, and can’t you reason yourself out of being jealous? Jealousy is the most futile, foblish and destructive of the emotions. Either the man loves you or he does not. If he doesn’t, no amount of force, caused by jealousy could, make him care one tiny bit more.

day go by without remembering him —” , “Don’t guess nobody can tell ye where to find-Phil,” the old man remarked behind his gray walrus mustache. “Keeps purty close to himself, Phil does. Ain’t much of a hand to chit-chat, but I’ve knowed Phil for five years. Been beggin’ on this corner for five years off and on —” “Five years?” Bob queried politely, but his heart sank. "Getting pretty old, isn’t he? How does he stand this cold weather?” • “Gittin’ too old for a beggar’s life, I tell him,” the news dealer shook his head. “Sick off and on, coughs something terrible- Had a real bad spell six months.back and warn’t around here for weeks, but he’s a stubborn old cuss. Won’t go on the county, like lie’s a right to.” “Thanks, old timer, here’s a little something for Phil,” Bob interrupted hastily, laying another dollar bill in the extended palm. they were back in the car, Faith suddenly dropped her head to Bob’s shoulder and burst into tears. “Don’t be too disappointed, darling,” Bob consoled her pityingly. “I admit I had high hopes for a few minutes, but Churchill warned us not to be too optimistic about locating the cripple that killed Uncle Ralph. His men have found four cripples who almost fit the requirements, and every one of them is beyond suspicion. Hard luck, sweetheart.” “There’s just a little more than a week left before the trial opens, and we’ve done nothing, nothing!” Faith moaned, beating her clenched hands against her breast. Next—Faith refuses to dismiss Phil, the beggar, as a possible- suspect of the murder of Ralph Cluny. (Copyright, 1927, NEA Service, Inc.)

Self-material for trimming is especially smart. RAGLAN SLEEVES Raglan sleeves have returned in many of the silk coats for riring. In some of them the opening for the band comes in the cuff, a few inches abbve the end. HIP DRAPERY Most of the new afternoon frocks show* some suggestion of drapery, shirring or pleating about the hips. The large hip bow of self material is very good.

THE WOMAN’S DAY

Girls want to be married personally and privately. Men don’t mind double or even group weddings or public ceremonies when they say "I will.” This is the unique finding of a London church which recently married nine couples at one swoop. The bridegrooms are reported to have said: “Gosh, this, is fine! A fellow feels such a fool stuck up there at the altar all by himself!” but the brides didn’t like the generality of their vows at all. Just a little story to say all over again that marriage is one thing to a woman and another to a man! Special perfume for men is a spring offering being loudly ballyliooed. Moving ads are blazoned showing a dapper male dousing his manly kerchief with “mouchoir de monsieur,” “esprit d’amour,” or what have you? And the answer to the question of whether today's gals like ’em cave-dwellerish or the pink of fashion will be revealed in the popularity of the perfume-dousers. “I’ll wear the rubies tonight, Marie—the tiara with the diamond howknot and the bracelet of the eight rubles."

Rouge Pots for Teacher! I take two lines —maybe It’ll run a little over—to say hip, hip, hurrah for the San Franciscan principal who said that his teachers could rouge all they pleased, and It was nobody's business! There has been r.o little prattle about the question “how you gonna keep ’em teaching in the schoolrooms?” It has always been my guess that the best way to keep teachers out of the profession was undue nagging at them about “setting examples,” and ignoring the fact that, being girls, they naturally want to look nice like other girls, be they “shining examples” or otherwise. I would far rather send my daughter, if any, to a teacher with a cute bob and nice pink cheeks, even if from a rouge box, than to a frump teacher of the funny pages type who took herself and her Job as seriously as a hen trying to hatch an ostrich egg!
