MARRIAGE IDEALIZED TOO MUCH BY WOMEN That’s Why They Lead Men in Seeking Divorce, Says Miss Lee —Strike a Balance, She Urges. By Martha Lee By far the larger number of divorce applications are filed by women. This is not that men, cast in a matrimonial role, measure up *4'ar below tlie female of the species, but it does indicate that women have idealized and expect more of marriage than men.

The latter, faced by an unsuccessful marital partnership, more often accept defeat and plunge doggedly into business and other interests. Woman under such circumstances is inclined to be a poor loser. She beats upon her breast and cries out she has been cheated of that which means most in life to her. Her ideals have been shattered. Her hero has clay feet; unfullilled dreams she cannot bear, so she hies herself to a divorce court. But life being a series of compromises she often finds that her action changes, but does not dissolve her difficulties. Perhaps the woinman who is unhappily mated will find it wiser to strike a balance with matrimony. While a home—even if it’s a palace is no substitute for a tender, loving husband, still it’s full of possibilities of interest. Then she has her position in society—the lone woman rarely has. If she has children, the outlet for her love and care is infinite. So the woman who finds marriage a failure, if she sets her mind to it by making the best of things,'may find she can drive a fair bargain with life after all. Shall Slik Divorce Him? Dear Martha Lee: I am about to apply for a divorce, but my eistor who was married and i- now divorced i- trying to persuade me not to. She says she jumped from the frying pan into I lie fire and that I should not risk doing this. t love my husband, but he simply ean't let other women alone. In a way hp is not so bad as he buys me lovely etothos and things and seems lo try to make up to me for his ride stepping, but I feel small and cheap lo be in this position. He says he likes me but no longer loves me. This is terribly hard to bear. MRS. MARIE. Few of tis realize ideal conditions in life. By trying to “make up” for things, your husband indicates that he has a sense of fair play. With that much good iu him, more may develop and he may abandon his philandering. As you love him, make the best of the situation. Had you thought he may really need you? It’s quite likely he’s not at all satisfied with himself and may have moments of longing to be different. Stay by him. *

Twice a day during the next two days, while the wheels of justice relentlessly crushed poor Cherry’s reputation and seemed about to crush out her very life, Faith and Bob. made pilgrimages to the Lincoln Park corner where they had seen Phil, the beggar. But they learned from the old news-stand proprietor that the beggar had not appeared again. "lie's just here off and on.” old Kelljftold them. “Don't see how he makes a living, working so seldom. But I reckon begging pays better than hard work,” he concluded bitterly. “Does be always take a taxi?” Bob asked. “Sure he does. He can’t walk.” "Same taxi every time?” Bob pressed bis point with apparent casualness. “Reckon so. Looks like the same driver. Yes, it is the same, now I come to think of it,” Kelly told him. “Reckon he’s made some arrangement with him so’s he’ll haul him at a reduced rate, and this driver seems to know how to lift him in without hurting him much.” “1 wish I had time to check up on tile taxi driver, through his license,” Bob told Faith, when lie bad rejoined her in the car parked at the curb. “But I hate to turn over any of this business to anyone else, and I don't like to miss any of the trial.” "Cherry needs all of us to stand by now,” Faith assured him in a low voice, choked with tears. “Oh, Bob, nothing Churchill can offer in defense can really help her! Banning's case is almost perfect. We’ve go to do something, darling! Poor Cherry! Poor Cherry!” “She’s the bravest kid in the world,” Bob said huskily. “Hasn't broken down yet. Don't worry, honey. We’ll dig up something. Why, we’ve got to! We're right on the track of it. We can’t fail now. If we don’t find Phil tomorrow, I’m going to hire a private detective

Did Not Love Him Dear Martha Lev: I' am a young: married woman, very unhappy. Several sears ago the man 1 loved and who dearly loved me bad to go out ot town lor months. While he was gone. 1 was so lonesome I went with a young man, thinking it was only lor company and not intending it should be serious. My folks practically forced me to accept and marry this last oue. I'va been unhappy ever since. He is too—Oust sits around and mopes or is away. Should we continue this existence this way? UNAPPRECIATED WIPE. Are you sure you have made an honest effort to make this marriage a success or are you dwelling on what “might have been” to such an extent that you are poisoning your home atmosphere? Now that you are in this position —even if others are to blame for it, don’t throw it over until you have done all in your power to find the possibilities for happiness that it may hold. A Barrier Between Them Dear Martha Lee: I need advice. Tor three months, I went steadily with a fellow, but we have gradualy stopped having dates and when we do happen to be together, there seems to be some barrier between us. We both know something is wrong, but ? couldn't think of giving him up. Have we fallen out of love?—or are we tired of each other? BLUE EYED HELEN. Resolve to be natural and let this affair take its natural course. Don't try to force the friendship into any channel. Perhaps it would help matters if you and he frankly talked over this apparent barrier of thought. To Get Acquainted Dear Martha Lee: I am 18 years old and have met a fellow in his early twenties that I admire, but I have had no chance to get acquainted. I want to know if it would be all right to invite him to a party or would it be too bold? DREAMY EYES. It would be quite all right, Dreamy Eyes, and a very good way to get better acquainted with him. A man signing himself “You Know Me, Al,” wrote a letter to this column in which he declared his belief that it was unwise for engaged folk to “confess” their pasts. He writes again, asking why his letter did not appear. It did, on March 22. It >vas a very good letter, Al.

lo shadow Hutchinson. Ought to have done that two days ago, soon as I connected him with Phil.” The next afternoon, a nerveracking day in the courthouse, when hope seemed to have died even in Cherry’s fearless golden eyes. Bob again turned his car, with Faith seated beside him, toward the main business district of the city, bound for Linooln Park, old Phil's onlyknow n address. Court had adjourned early. It was still not quite half past four when Boh slowed down his machine near the park corner. “He’s there!” Faith cried cxultingly. “Don't drive any nearer. He may see us and recognize us, from our pictures in the paper. If he really has any connection witli the murder, you can be sure he’s been keeping up with the trial.” Bob did not kill bis engine, butkept bis hand on the gear shift, ready for instant action if the crippled beggar summoned bis taxi. It was a long tense wait, but finally at five minutes to five a yellow taxicab bearing the license plate for which their eyes had been straining, swerved around the corner and drew up to the curb, as the cripple’s right forefinger beckoned. By the time the driver of the cab had hoisted the loathsome, distorted body into the back seat, Bob's car had inched along until its front bumper almost touched the rear bumper of the taxi. “This time there won't be any slip-up. I'll go through a traffic signal if necessary', and show my deputy’s badge,” Bob told Faith grimly. The pursued car swung into Main Street, witli Bob following closely. At Washington Street it turned south, and Bob lost sight ts it for a full minute, since it was shut from view by two private cars that had turned into Washington from a side street. But within two blocks he had picked up the yellow cab again, and did not lose sight of it during the long chaise which it led him, out of the business district and into the west side residence section. Once during that long chase Bob speeded up and ranged his car abreast of the pursued taxi, without, however, attracting the attention of the driver. He held the pace only for a half minute, then dropped a few yards behind the taxi. “Did you notice, Faith?” Bob's voice was husky with excitement.

Gloria Swanson

Gloria Swanson would do something different. She would be the startling one of the, group in a fashionable Nv York wedding. She was the matron of honor at the wedding of Mrs. Katherine P. Shirres to Pierre A. Bodard and was the only woman present who did not reveal the customary length of extra sheer, flqsh colored hose. Her gown was at least twelve inches longer than that of the bride, with only the tips of her blue slippers visible. One doesn’t miss Gloria In anygathering and when she is playing second lead only to the bride one doesn't miss sucii details as skirt lengths. The frock was effective in powder blue chiffon trimmed with flowing sleeves and wispy pannels of periwinkle blue. , **’ “Curtains are drawn at the side windows and the back window. I didn't know' taxis bad those silk shades, on rollers like private cars.” “Maybe, since Phil uses it all the time, lie's had them put in,” Faith frowned thoughtfully. “That’s so no one could see him and Hutchinson together. I’ll wager. Oh, Bob, the ear’s stopping before this new bungalow! Draw in to the curb!” (To Be Continued)

Tinting'lips 1 HSjft (Copyright 1020 ftgfil Here’s the secret of giving lingerie, stockings, etc., the most gorgeous tints. All tints are really colors. So use real dyes.
