WOMEN JUST NATURAL BORN HUSBAND REFORMERS

Family Circle Often Endures Efforts of Lady Members to Remake All the Rest. By Martha Lee Women are natural born reformers. We’re born with the idea that it's up to us to make the world better, and if we haven't actually done so we never get tired trying to.

This passion for reforming folks gets in its best work within the family circle. If hubby continues to slothfully shake ashes all over the house; if Brother keeps on walking roundshouldered and Grandpa doesn't pay attention to his diet, it’s not because there Isn’t * some earnest little women to teach them differently. With all good intentions taken into consideration though, this reforming business can be overdone. While one shouldn’t perhaps sit back and placidly let the other fellow go dear to the devil, still if we want folks to be happy, it’s pretty certain we’ve got to let them be happy in their own way. Wants to Remake Him Dear Martha Lee: My sister-in-law is one of the sweetest of women, but she is imply ruining my brother’s individuality by nagging at his way of doing things. He was over 30 when he married and was considered a model young man. She claimed that he was her ideal when she married him eight months ago. If he was, why is she trying to change him? she says he is the untidiest man she has every known, yet when he was home we >lid not consider him so. It hurts us to iiave her find fault with him so. What do you think of this? HIS SISTER. I think you and your family would be very wise to close your eyes and Hts to your brother’s domestic affairs, irour sympathy, even if unspoken,

will reach hfm somehow and may help to make him dissatisfied. He chose his present condition and must make the best of it. It's rather too bad that your sister-in-law has launched onto the job of making her husband over, but that’s their own affair now. Perhaps he doesn't mind her supervision ns much as you folks do. His People Discourage Dear Martha Lee: When I was a very young man 1 met a girl that I thought a great deal of. She went away to school and later was married. Now she is divorced. She has two beautiful children. I am now 34 years old, and. Miss Lee. I still love this girl, who is now 27. My people discourage m.v marrying her and aa.v that something might happen whereby I would have to take care of the other man’s children. Do you think I should heed my people about this? DON. Not if you really love her. The children are hers. If you are not willing to assume the possible care of them, of course, don’t marry her, and only you ’‘know whether your love is deep enough to help her with her obligations. She Pays the Bills •Dear Martha Lee: I am 19 and married. My husband is good to me. but I have to use my own money. I work and I pay our household bills. He puts his money on his car and other things. He is crazy over children, but I am afraid to have a family if I have to work and earn my own money. That would certainly make it hard for me. Do von think he would do differently if we had children. BABE B. If he is an able bodied man and has a job, quit yours. You are spoiling him byjteeping up expenses and you will make a great mistake if you continue this. It will bring out whatever manliness he has, if you insist upon his being the provider and head of the family. After you have found out how he responds to home obligations, it will be time enough to decide about the family, but if he loves children, it would probably make yours a happy home to have them. ‘ “Lonely," who says she came to Indianapolis seven months ago, has no friends or acquaintances and would like for me to give her the address of some nice young man who would appreciate knowing a girl of refinement. I’m sorry that I cannot do this, but as all letters which Come to this column are considered confidential.

8 1/ NEA Service. PARIS, May 24, — While movie fans are fascinated over Pola Negri's prince, the wonder grows in aristoFrench drawing rooms how Serge Mdivani gets that way. He might be a prince to a mode queen in Hollywood, but not to titled Pari sign society. Although titles are not legally recognized by the French republic, they are jealously guarded by the so-called chosen. And Georgian princes, such as Serge Mdivani, are not taken seriously by the old regime. But Pola doesn't care, any more than other movie stars who have married equally shaky titles. Pola's personality is captivating Paris. She is seen as a remarkable example of motion picture prestige. Serge says he wants to be just plain “Mister” when he returns to America as her husband. “Amen," Parisians say. The wedding will take place at Pola's chateau, just outside Paris. Pola is reported to be “supremely happy,” even if her fiance's title is alleged to be phony. She and Serge have agreed that her studio grease paint and his Geor

MRS. FERGUSON WRITES OF WIVES AND WORK Sophisticates May Flout Maternal Instinct With Scorn— Business Women Smother It With Efficiency, She Says.

By Mrs. Waller Ferguson “So long as home making and the bearing of children are regarded as of less importance than the training of armies and the drawing up of balance sheets, the professional woman should not marry,” says a well-known faminist. This is true, because no woman can serve two masters. One interest must take precedence over the other, with the result that often both fail.

Girls go into marriage these days with a profound ignorance as to what it demands. They regard it only in terms of sex or romance. They believe that they can\Jteep up a pretty little home and also their jobs downtown and thus live harmoniously and happily. But rare indeed are the unions like these which stick. The home is a hard taskmaster, and to it we ■must continually offer sacrifice. Children, if we would have them, must have our time for a period of years. Husbands, if we would keep them, must be petted and pampered. And so life goes for women. It is a complex affair at best and especially so in these days when there are so many green fields open for our hungry nibbling. ' And yet nature made her plans ages ago. These ive may not frus-

trate with impunity Always there will come the heart hunger that gnaws us, when we will know that wc can not live and be really happy without-that which has always given to women their greatest Joy—babies. The maternal instinct is as old as the everlasting hills nor can all of our cults or our freedoms gainsay it. The sophisticates may flout it with their scorn; the business woman may smother it with her efficiency, but do not ever doubt that it lives within them just the same. All life flourishes because it can never die. And American women may And great things without considering themselves as potential mothers, but they ran never And true happiness nor bring to their country true greatness if they suppress within them this great yearning that is as deep as life itself.
