dfew Women iWant to Be Worshiped f BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON A gentleman of the old school, Who deplores modern tendencies, says that all men must have something to worship, and that something should be a good woman. Which is a good deal like the pot Worshiping the kettle. In the first place, women do not want to be worshiped. This is one this that made miserable the life of many a long-dead woman. While she longed to be petted and pampered and treated like a human being, her swain would insist that sloe be a goddess and sit fay above him. And there’s absolutely no fun in that. With all the gods that all the religions can supply for thqir consideration, you might suppose th i men could find a sufficient outlefor their piety. But every now and then one of them bursts forth with this idea, which is as old as civilization, and the Ku-Klux Klan revives the talk about “pure womanhood.” Beautiful but Wrong We feel for these gentlemen, certainly, because we know that this ideal of the perfection of the female |bas been handed down ever since Virgin Mary heard the voice of the angel of God. And it is a beautiful thought this, that women are divided into two distinct classes, the good and the bad, and that between the two is a great gulf fixed. But it is so erroneous. Women have never been and can friever be perfect. They are born with the same fears, the same desires, the same brands of original sin .that hamper men. There is a •very thin line separating the very good from tjie very bad. Stumble Like Men We are no divinities, endowed by high heaven with superior powers of resistance We, too, are beset by strange longings and swayed by the winds of chance. Like men, we go stumbling, groping our way through life that is filled with temptations. We are poor, frail, pitful things, and no fit object for any mortal’s worship. If men would only regard us as weaklings like themselves! If they would only realize that it was not the divine intention that we should supply the moral stamina for the world, how much happier we might be, and how much better the men might grow. Sitting on a pedestal is a tiresome business, and while we hesitate to deprive them of their objects of veneration, still we find that life is much pleasanter when we can climb down and all have a good or bad time together, k Men and women should go, hand In hand, back to paradise. The moral responsibility for our civilization rests equally on both sexes. — : Married in March The marriage is announced of Herbert Saffel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Saffel. 4231 Broadway, to Miss Lillian Smallwood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Smallwood, of Bloomington, which took place in Kokomo, March 30.

Forgetting to Remember . Often Solves Difficulties BY MARTHA LEE “You forgot to remember,” runs the refrain of a popular song. In many circumstances this would be an important accomplishment. If someone commits a wrong against us, the quicker we draw the veil of memory over the matter. The quicker we “forget to remember,” the better for us. Resentment aroused from grievances creates poison in our thoughts, and many modern physicians connect malignant diseases w r ith poison so engendered. Anyway, what’s the wisdom of giving the days to dwelling on dark thought? What can it help? “My enemy could not harm me until I let myself become angered at him. Then he got in his work,” an ancient writer once recorded.
Ten Years’ Quarrel Dear Martha Lee: Ten years ago. my sister’s husband beat me out of S6OO In a real estate deal. She took his part and this fact caused me to feel to bitter against her that I have never spoken a word to her from that time. I have stayed away from family reunions and a good many occasions because I did not want to run into them. Now my sister is very 111 and I have heard that her doctor is predicting that she cannot recover. As this is my only sister and as she was very dear to me when we were children. I'm beginning to feel that our quarrel should not go on. I am proud, though, and hate to make the first move. What would be an easy wav to do this? MRS. MADELINE. Dear Mrs. Madeline, don't give yourself another minute to dwell on the difficulties of a reconciliation. Go immediately to your sister. Tell her that you realize how much of joy each of you is keeping out of her life by this separation. Don’t refer to her illness as a cause for your coming—and go now, at once. Loves Another Dear Martha Lee: This is a bad situation. I know it. but am unable to do anything. Mv husband is interested in another woman. I don’t know who she is and maybe you would say I imagine it. but I know that I do not. His love for me seems to be gone. The reason I know there is another woman is by the way he aC He takes all kind of trouble with his appearance when he goes out. changes his necktie several times and then when he leaves looks as bright and eager as if he was a small boy going to a circus. It about breaks my heart, for I love him. but, of course, if there is no nope thnt he will love me again. I might as well give up hope. This has been this way about three mouths. HEART BROKEN. There is hope in a situation of this kind, for there is always the posibility that the husband is simply infatuated for the time. There’s a difference between that and love, you know. Many is the man who has gone through such an experience, only to realize later that his love for his wife was never dead, but only submerged for a period. Now dry your tears and put all your intelligence on this matter. You know that chidings and lamentations on your part will only make the other woman more charming by comparison. If possible, let him know that you feel that

he is simply laboring under a passing temptation and that you do not condemn, but want to help him. All the time, remain as sweet and attractive as you can. This sounds like a hard recipe, but if his love is valuable to you, it's wokh working hard for. Her Life Happy Now Dear Martha Lee: As I've had almost the same experience as “Marilyn, whose letter was in vour paper a few days ago, I should like to say a few words to her. I have been married four years and have a darling babj two years old. After the first year of cur married life, we began to have little quarrels After a time we decided to get a divorce. We sold all oar furniture and I left my tiny baby and went to work. It did not take either mv husband or myself long to discover that we had made a mistake and that we were really in love with each other. Now I'm glad to say we re one of the happiest families in the world I think the cause of much married trouble is that folks don’t want to be bothered with children. If they would devote more of their time to their families, there would be little need of divorce courts. MRS. B. A. L. Your letter brings out the point I've often made, that folks who do not seem to get along should take sufficient time to be sure that their love is really dead before applying for a divorce.

Life’s Niceties Hints on Etiquet
1. If illness or death occur, how may invitations to a party be recalled? 2. Does a bride who backs out of her wedding the last minute return the presents sent her? 3. How does she explain things? The Answers 1. By phone for informal affairs. For formal functions a card is hurriedly printed and mailed which states the facts. 2. Yes. 3. Usually such news is broadcast by the press. However, a bride can merely state that the wedding was called off.
