SPRING POPULAR TIME FOR HASTY MARRIAGES Be Careful and Don’t Repent in Leisure, Miss Lee Warns \ Reader Who Is Tired of Boarding. By Martha Lee. Some wag recently said, “In this country as elsewhere, the principal cause of divorce is marriage.” Which, of course, is another way of saying that the former is the inevitable result of an ill-advised latter—one divorce out of every seven marriages being the hard-boiled report of late statistics.

'Too hasty” most of them are labeled, and It’s conceded that twice as many of these rush-to-the-altar ceremonies come along with the spring of the year. It’s Nature’s fault, of course: By staging a panorama of promise—new greenery that opens wide the conviction that this is a marvelous old world — Sparkling sunlight that is heady and Inspirational; singing birds; joy, new life—well anyway, the Boston folks who have a brand new remedy for hasty marriages will find sledding hard right now. They say, “If it took six months instead of six minutes to get a license, half the men and women would change their minds.” So they plan in every community to have five intelligent men and women appointed as a commission to pass upon every proposed marriage. Surely nothing less than an army of Solomons could qualify for this commission and dollars to doughnuts, they won’t get anywhere! Tired of Boarding Dear Martha Lee: Do you think T would be very foolish to marry a grirl I met only six weeks ag:o? I'm 28 and tired of boarding and single life in general. This

Here's glorious news for longsuffering 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 14, b’K ?t 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 oi-gans affected by menstruation. They function normally, as they should, but the pain is banished. Complete relief—yes, perfect comfort —follows midol. Your druggist has midol for SO cents In a slim aluminum box to tuck in your purse.

seems to be as nice a girl as any I’ve met. She wants to have a home too and what do you think about taking a chance? 808 S. I don’t think much of it, Bob. I think it's simply the spring weather that’s got in your bones. Don’t jump into marriage hastily. This may be the right girl, but wait until you know her better before taking this step. You do not mention that you love her. Doesn’t that seem at all important to the situation? Mother-in-Law Bothers Dear Martha Dee: My mother-in-law is trying to wreck my home. It she would keep out. my home would be a heaven. I am expecting the stork and you know I ought not to be annoyed with her. but she sees my husband on the sly and tries to tell him things about me. I feel if this goes on. I will certainly die. I have tried to make peace with her. but in vain. TRYING TO BE HAPPY. For your little coming child's sake, do not take this so seriously. She can't wreck your home unless ! you yourself give her the power to. | Are you sure you don't imagine much of this? If your husband is a man at all, I her seeing him “on the sly’’ won’t i affect him and don't you fear that jit will. Dignity and sweetness on | your part and the refusal to exchange words with her, will disarn! her. Does He Love Her? Dear Martha Lee: I love my husband, but sometimes I wonder it he loves me although he says he does, for he runs around quite a hit and doesn't ever take me with him. He also has called me all kinds of names and has also beat and kicked me. When I go any place. T have to walk and carry the baby and when he goes he takes the machine. He also does not give me money. What can I do? MRS. T. S. B. Well you -can quit believing that j he has any more feeling for you than a stray helpless animal under his roof. I never advise divorce, but if I were going to, you would be one 1 of those to whom I would say that the sooner you get away from this 1 fellow that calls himself a man, the 1 better. No Company Allowed Dear Martha Lee: I am a girl of 17 and I am not allowed by my father to have boy company. The other day I heard a fellow that I think a great deal of tell another, that I was getting “stuck up.” No one will ever know how that hurt me. Miss Lee, for of course he did not understand why I have repeatedly refused him dates. BROWNIE. Perhaps it would make it easier for you. Brownie, if you frankly ex plained to your friend, how your father felt aV>out you having company at this time. WILLOW FURNITURE Willow or reed furniture needs almost daily dusting by use of the blower attachment on a vacuum j cleaner. A cloth will never keep this I type of furniture clean. GREASE SPOTS Grease spots can be removed from ] leather furniture by a cloth wrung out of warm soap-suds. Carbon tet- j rachloride removes such stains from j I other furniture. BED TABLE For the sick child who must remain in bed a bed table is imperative, both for food and toys. An attractive one can be made from a sturdy box a yard long by removing sides and leaving ends and painting it all a pretty color.

GIRLS NO LONGER ASK REVERENCE FROM MEN Era of More Splendid Companionship Between Sexes Opening Up, Says Mrs. Ferguson.

By". Mrs. Walter Ferguson “How boys shall treat girls,” is a topic that has been generally discussed at the various Y. M. C. A. conferences. Regardless of how they should, boys generally treat girls just the way girls wish to be treated. Most boys grow up with a wholesome reverent for the fqminine.

Only One Orchid American Grown

This is the only American-grown orchid on exhibition at the Philadelphia flower show. For its beauty Mrs. A. Rainey, of Columbus, Ohio, is an appropriate exhibitor. The bloom was developed after eight years’ experimentation and eross-breeding with English orchids.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The idea of woman's purity and sacredness which has been evolved through so many centuries is not to be destroyed in a decade. Boys still wish their future wives to be spotless and so long as they cling to this ideal It is a woman's privilege to influence them for good. The girls who are flippant and foolish nu-rely do not understand this. For women have grown tired of occupying the pedestal. It Is a terrible bore to be better than the people with whom you associate. And this was the situation which faced the girls lof the twentieth century. While they were practicing the virtues, the boys were having the good times. ; And so our entire social fabric must be re-woven. We cannot discuss this question on the same promise that we once might have used. Girls are different. Boys are different. But the thing will work out, never you fear. It Is ridiculous to suppose that the youngsters are any worse inherently than we were. Only custom has changed. The boy who puts his arm around a girl in fun these days, is no villain, just because in his grandfather's time men (lid not touch a woman's hand without specified permission. I Women don't want all this sticky reverence. What they want is a square deal. They want to be treated with the same frank friendliness that boys use to one another. They want to be told the truth. They want to be forgiven their mistakes just as boys are forgiven. They want, \ not only to be sweethearts but pals. The gentlemen of the chivalrous age were strong on reverencing the pure and stepping on the impure. Their behavior was rather inconsistent. And if it were possible for us to come back to earth in another hundred years, I have no'doubt that wo should see a finer, a truer, a more noble allegiance between the sexes than the world has eyer knonw before. This age of transition is opening up an era of more splendid companionship for men and women, let the pessimists howl as they will.

Tired Feet Are Beauty's Enemy One would scarcely believe, for example, that tired feet so affects the nerves as to cause ill temper, or that the strain of a weak ankle or brokeu arch will cause pains as serious asand often mistaken for rheumatism: that severe cases of flat-foot would cause pain in tlfe back, drooping shoulders, and often curvature of the spine, and that many a poor complexion has its cause in the feet. Yet these facts are ail recorded in the cli.ties of every large orthopedic hospital, and are the subject of many lectures.
