Husband Worse Than Foolish If He Lets Exaggerated Sense of Chivalry Put Him in Role of a Spendthrift’s Victim, Says Miss Lee. By Martha Lee “I have a gold digger wife!” A man writes this and the helpless note of his letter reminds us of an incident in a street <?ar. A 4-year-old youngster was making himself So obnoxious muk an elderly woman suggested that the mother should retrain his actions. “0 I can’t get him in a temper,” the mother enrclaimed hastily. “He’ll kick me in the shins if I do.”
A man is worse than foolish who lets an exaggerated sense of chivalry put him in the role of everlasting victim to a grafting wife. Fair play is fair play and it’s quite right to lay hold of it even in matrimony. Unhappily there are many women who regard marriage as a soft snap. “I am tired of working. I want to get married,” one often hears business girls say. They make the type of wife who buys clothes she can’t afford, stocks the house with new furniture bought on the installment plan and by her extravagance keeps her husband chained like a galley slave. - Fortunately, this is only one type of wife. Makes Him Struggle Dear Martha Lee: Six years ago X matried a giri I dearly loved. She was beautiful and seemed everything I had been looking for, but how X was stung. In her way, I guess she cares for me, but her way is to think only of herself. When she sees anything she wants, that settles it and she gets it and my struggles to pay for the object, she seems to have no faintest conception of. We rarely have a home-cooked meal as she prefers to “eat out” and my dearest wish for a family, she gives the ha-ha. It’s discouraging and I see no way out. as I have a sure enough gold-digger wife. PUNK. She probably respects you not at all, as you have let the doormat conception of yourself grow in her thought. Begin on the matter of bills. It is quite possible to have an understanding with the merchants if you can’t reason with her. Insist upon a budget plan. She can’t ‘‘eat out” all the time unless you consent. A woman does not respect a man
I’m Most Grateful Everv Month Here’s glorious news for long-suf-fering womankind! To every woman who periodically has suffered pain. Menstruation need no longer be painful. And It Is Science that Is speaking! Specialists have developed a tiny tablet called midol. It’s a simple thing, utterly harmless to a girl of fourteen, but It brings relief in five to seven minutes. And is effective twelve hours or longer. Midol is NOT a narcotic. It has no effect whatever on heart or nervous system. It acts directly on those organs affected by menstruation. They function, normally, as they should, hut the pain is banished. Complete relief—yes, perfect comfort —follows midol. Your druggist has midol fqr BO cents in a slim aluminum box to tuck in yo'ur purse. , Midol Takes Pain Off the Calendar Try This Simple Method For Blackheads If you are troubled with these unsightly blemishes, get two ounces of Calonite powder from any drug store. Sprinkle a little on a hot, wet cloth and rub over the blackheads. In a few minutes every blackhead, big or little, will be dissolved away entirely.—Advertisenicnt. Don’t Fuss With Mustard Plasters! Don’t ml* a mess of mustard, flour and water when you can relieve pain, soreness or stiffness with a little clean, white Musterole. Musterole Is made of pure oil of mustard and other helpful ingredients, and takes the place of mustard plasters. Musterole usually gives prompt relief from sore throat, bronchitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of the backk or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruies, chilblains, frosted feet, colds of the chest (it may prevent pneumonia).

who is weakling enough to letj her pass up all her reasonable duties. Will Not Condemn Her Dear Martha Lee: lam a girl 21 years old, have a good home and many advantages. I am engaged to a young man. but after I had gone with him for Some months, I discovered he had for several years been on too friendly terms with a married woman. He has not denied that this was true, but said* that he once thought he loved her, but that she is out of his life and that he lovea me and that he will not see her again. However, he will not condemn her when I do, says she was sweet, and would do anything in the world for him. This has worried me. He wants to be married soon and have a home, but shall I trust hirii or give him up? E. If I understand you, the fact that he will not condemn this woman is your principle worry, yet he would be a cad if he would talk about her, wouldn’t he? The fact that he has not lied to you ands has been perfectly frank speaks well for him. I think he Is a good risk, but if you do marry him, forget this past absolutely and don’t eternally refer to it. A Man Advises Miss Martha Lee: I have been reading with interest, in your columns in The Indianapolis Times, of the girls who are about to be married, and are so undecided as to whether they should tell their husbands to be, all about their past life. In regard to this matter, you will please permit me. a man, to set forth my opinion on this woman's question. My opinion is. that a man doe* not have any more right to ask a woman for full information and detail concerning her past life and good times.\than a woman has to ask and receive the same information from a man. . , , , , Very few men are big enough to hear a real honest to goodness life story, especially on a matter of this kind, and being small and unable to get it out of their systems for the balance of their days, it is to the best interest of all concerned, including themselves, to leave this question alone. This will also apply to the women. AL. Has a New Beau Dear Martha Lee: I have been going with a fellow named Louis for six months. He also has gone with another girl, but if I have even looked at another fellow, he has gotten furious. About three weeks ago. I met another young man. I like him immensely. He comes to see me every other night. Which shall I take As you have known this last young man only three weeks, you’d better not decide yet. Why not have them both for friends, explaining to Louis that you wish to be only on friendly terms at this time? His jealous disposition does not speak in his favor. Points of Etiquette Dear Martha Lee; When one is introduced to a person, he generally says. “I am very glad to meet you.” What should one answer to this? After a dance, and one's partner thanks one, what should a girl reply? < / PUZZLED. The person to whom you are Introduced should not eay, ‘‘l am very glad to meet you,” but sin.ply “How do you do.” No matter how many introductions are received, strictly 'speaking, that’s all one should reply. She should make a brief answer indicating that she, too, enjoyed the danoe, but she must not thank her partner in return.
MARRIAGE AND FAITH
By Mrs. Walter Freguson Never before have our better class magazines been so tilled with discussions of religious topics. Indeed, never before so many people sought Jesus, Son of Mary. Never have so many divergent minds paid him homage. Therefore one can hardly claim that the world is becoming more irreligious. For it is increasingly evident that we are seeking diligently after the things of the spirit. In a recent issue of Scribner’s magazine there is an article called “The Catholic Laywoman’s Viewpoint,” a very stirring challenge to the rest of us, no matter what our beliefs may be, something to make us think if we are capable of doing so. This Catholic wife and mother states quite simply the laws which her church considers binding on its members. One of the most stringent is that against divorce. When a Catholic marries, if he or she is a true believer, this rite is accepted as a sacrament and the oath of fealty is considered binding not only before men, but before God. The children are taught that marriage is a sacred contract. While some may suffer because of this law, Catholics sincerely believe the majority will benefit by it. In other words, theirs is a doctrine of self-sacrifice and unselfishness. Within the heart of that person who has faith abides the idea that existence is not entirely of this world and that the wise women will lay up for herself treasures in Heaven. Thousands of our citizens, of course, disagree with this. Millions of church members think that marriage is only a legal contract to be dissolved as easily as it is made. Hundreds of good men and women have been married more than once and are none the worse for it. The point of the thing is this, however. The Catholic church does have certain ideals to which its members cling. It does have laws that men and women in their stumbling way try to obey. It, the oldest of the Christian churches, still builds its foundations upon faith, utter and unquestioning. And sometimes one wonders whether our Protestant churches are not too uncertain, to have great influence. They are so often neither the one thing nor the other, neither hot nor cold, but lukewarm on so many vital matters on which they should stand four-square. Is partial faith better, after all, than faith complete? What do you think? FULLNESS IN FRONT The prevalence of fullness in front and flatness in back continues for the spring.

Bob Hathaway had been on the witness stand an hour before Banning permitted him to finish his story of the finding of the body of liis uncle, Ralph Cluny. his notifying the police, his hurried trip to the church to inform the rector, the Rev. Mr Ashburn, and Faith, of the death of the bridegroom. * “That is all, Mr. Hathaway. Oh, pardon me, just a minute, Mr. Churchill,” Banning spoke suavely to the defense attorney who had sprung from his seat to cross-ex-amine Bob. “Mr. Hathaway, do you remember the events of Sunday, Sept. 26, last?” Bob frowned, looked puzzled, then shook his head slightly. “Then let me refresh your memory, Mr. Hathaway,” Banning spoke gently. “Were you in Darrow—the city of Darrow, Chelton County—on that date, In company with Miss Faith Lane who is now your fiancee, and with this defendant, who was at that time your fiancee?” “Objection!” Churchill thundered. After the ordinary session of wrangling and arguments on both sides, Judge Clrimshaw overruled the objection and Boh was forced to answer: “I was in Darrow on a Sunday in September, In company witji Miss Faith Lane and her sister, who is now Mrs. Wiley. I do not remember the exact date.” “Ah!” Banning expelled the syllable with acute satisfaction. “Now. Mr. Hathaway, you admit, do- you not, that Mrs. Wiley, then Miss Cherr# Lane, was your fiancee at that time?" • "She was,” Bob answered In a low but distinct’voice, his face going quite white as he remembered the events of that dreadful day, when he and Faith had hastened to Darrow to rescue Cherry from her rash elopement with Albert Ettleson. “Your witness, Mr. Churchill.” Churchill advanced his heavy, imposing body slowly to the witness chair, to rest one hand familiarly on the arm of i£. “Mr. Hathaway, the question of your engagement to this defendant, little Cherry Lane Wiley, has been twice raised by Mr. Banning.

I announced our engagement to Mr. Lane, and Cherry said that she would not marry me.” Bob’s voice was steady, but his cheeks were flaming. After a few apparently irrevelant questions, Churchill indicated that he was through with Bob as a witness for the State, and Banning Immediately sprung another question upon him: “Mr. Hathaway, did you escort this defendant to a dance at the Marlboro Country Club on the evening of Saturday, Oct. 3?” Next: Dr. Paxton fixes approximately (lie minute at which Ralph Cl any died.
