REAL WIVES DO NOT WANT SALARY

They Handle Their Husband’s Money Anyway—And the Flapper Mate, She Doesn’t Deserve One, Because She Doesn’t Earn It in Most Cases. By Martha Lee Shall wives have salaries? We often hear the subject discussed these days and every once in a while, some actress or feminist to whom the clatter of dishes is as a dead language, rises to remark that—

Any housewife who ‘doesn’t demand wages is a sort of high-class moron. The plain garden variety of domestic frau, who deeply enjoys hanging clean curtains and making apple pie that "he” brags on—does she want a salary? I don’t believe one in a hundred would say "yes.” Usually, this good, reliable kind of wife handles most of her husband’s salary anyway. The other kind —the "flapper wife?” why should she have a salary? From the time she awakens in the morning she has nothing more strenuous to do than to run a vacuum over the floor, order the groceries over the telephone, or make out the laundry list. Afterward, she can go shopping, keep her date at the beauty parlor or sit in the restful darkness of a movie. This type of wife lives for pleasure. She has it, why should she be paid for engaging in the pursuit of it? It may be a bit harsh to remark upon It, but instead of a salary, what the idle, childless "flapper wife” type really needs is a job—a woman-sized one that includes real wifehood. She Approves a Salary Dear Martha Lee: I have been married for four and one-half years, and it seems the longer we live together the worse we gret alonpr. Most of our trouble comes from money matters. My husband is what I call plain stingy. He’s always wanting: to

Nature Doesn't Punish Her Any Longer Menstruation is Nature —but menstrual pain is NOT natural, and not necessary. Science has conquered the painful part. In a harmless — yes, healthful —little tablet called midol. Midol is a more remarkable means of relieving such pain than even a habit-forming drug. It acts directly on the organs affected by menstruation, and relief conies 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 is does not depress the heart, is not narcotic and is utterly harmless. All druggists, 50 cents, in thin aluminum box that fits the smallest purse.

| Bavc, and that Is the most Interesting subject on earth to him. I have a friend whoße husband pavs her a regular salary, and I have tarn telling my husband about this, but he says that makes him sick. Don't you tliiuk every wife should have a salary? A “lie eannot earn one out in the world. I think her husband should pay her for taking care of his home. MRS. MARGIE MeC. Well, it’s her home, too, you know, and it’s something of a question whether it’s fair to demand a salary for activities that are put forth partly for herself. Money matters cause much of the inharmony in homes and any plan that would ease matters financially should be hailed. What do the readers think? She Ran Away Dear Martha Lee: I married a girl that I had gone with for a long time on Feb. 2 When we had been married only a few weeks, a young man she had gone with before she and I started came between us. She ran away with him and went to Oklahoma. It wasn’t long until she came back, wanted me to forgive her, and I did. Before many hours she said she wanted to be with him again, and I don’t know whether to let her go entirely, try to win her back or go about causing him trouble. What do you say? “LONELY." While, of course, the man Is a scoundrel to interfere in this way, at the same time your wife is far more to blame, under the circumstances, of having married you. I think Jt is she, rather than the man, that you should deal with. Your wife certainly indicates that she is very shallow. I should not dally with the situation. Be firm | and make her know that she must take her choice —and for good. Their Stories Disagree Dear Martha Lee: I need your advice. ; I am married, am 27 years old. and married to a man 30. We have three wonder- I fill children. Recently I had a nervous breakdown and was in a hospital four weeks. During my absence a woman took care of my home. She and my husband disagree about what happened. He says that she is not the right kind and blnclaims that he made advances to her. I don’t know who to believe. What do you think? “FAITH GONE” Believe him. As his wife you owe loyalty and trust to him. Give him the benefit of the doubt and a chance to prove to you that he is faithful to you. You do not know what temptation ! he may have been subjected to anii taking all into consideration and for your little children’s sake, try ami believe him and forget the incident. He Has Not Written Dear Martha Lee: I am a girl, goo will bo twenty. I'm engaged to be m • ried and the young man has left tow-r i I have not gone out with any other fi lows and have been true to him, but 1 has not written since he left. What sh; I do? HIS LONESOME PAL You neglected to mention how long a time had elapsed since h went away. If it is only a short I space of time, don’t worry. He mu; be terribly busy with work or other important matters. NOVELTY GRILL A lamb chop, bacon and mush ! room mixed grill will be twice attempting if bananas, apples or tomatoes are added.

Polar Bears Are Circus Stars

It has long been a common belief that polar bears cannot long survive in a warm climate, yet here are two of the big white fellows who have not only been away from their home in the icebergs for many years, but they actually seem as well if not better contented than those which live in the Far North. These two are members of the
