% Be Temperate in Love, * Answer to Two Letters tm , by MARTHA LEE Broken-hearted” and “J. B.” today have problems somewhat alike. J. B. is suffering from the ministrations of a too-devoted wife, and “Broken-hearted” is the same kind of a girl as J. B. describes his wife to be. The girl does not understand why the boy she knows wants to have some time to himself sometimes. There are all sorts of dispositions in the world. Some are' more dependent on caresses and the company of the loved one more than
others. For these, they must try to understand that those who are more nervously built can not stand to be pawed over and petted all the time, and that they must sometimes withdraw to themselves in order to keep well and be in a harmonious state of mind. The right to be away from 15eople some of the time is a right no woman should seek to deny to the man she really loves. If she wants him to give up all his strength and time to her, hers is a selfish love, and the man will resent it. These girls must learn to do without some fcf the hours and attentions they want in order to bring about the other’s happiness. Dear Miss Lee—l am married to a verv dear little woman, with whom I am much in love. She has many good qualities and virtues, but she sometimes gets very tiresome. When I come home from work in the evening she immediately plants herself in my lap. After the evening meal, when X wish to relax, smoke and read after a hard day’s grind, she is in my lap again and becomes very indignant if X ask her to take a chair. She will not allow me to have an hour in my room alone and cannot understand why I should wish to be alone. If I wish to spend an evening out with my gentlemen friends, she throws a fit and says I am going to meet some woman, though I have never given her cause to think such things. I love this little woman and have proved it in many ways, but I can daily sense a gulf coming between us because she gets on my nerves. I have always shown affection b J Jt Ido not set the thrill out ol taking her in my arms that I once die. because I am constantly fed up and often annoyed by her petting when I am trylng to concentrate my mind on .something. Is there any cure for such people? T. B. You are the luckiest man in the world, most masculine readers will say when they read your letter. You love your wife, and she loves you, and your trouble is such an easy one to adjust that it gives me real pleasure to suggest a way by which you can “cure such people.” In the first place, you are almost indulging in self-pity because she gets on your nerves, instead of thinkin'g how you would miss this little bunch of sweetness were she not yours, but somebody else’s. It is not a gulf coming between you; forget that expression. It is only a slight feeling of annoyance that •seizes you, but your nerves have caused you to exaggerate the matter. What you need is a big chair, wide enough for you to smoke in.

and have your arms free to turn the pages of your book, yet one which will accommodate her loving form without causing you to lay down your smoke and your reading. What she doesn’t realize is that your nerves are wrought up when you come home from work and you neeed to rest. What you don’t realize is that she has been living for your coming home all day, and that hour at twilight is the whole meaning of her existence. Other Interests Would Help Os course, if you had a baby, she would make a fuss ever this in the evening. If you had a nice companionable dog, maybe this would distract her attention a little. Are you sure .;he has a comfortable chair of her own. under a light where she could read or sew if she wished, or is your lap the only comfortable place in the room? Ask her to make you one of these lampshades such as they give lessons In making at the department stores for your room, and this will give her something to occupy her interest after supper. Tell her there is nothing you like to see so much in the evening as a woman sewing under the lamplight while her husband is reading. Use tact. Perhaps if you would get her a dog she would take long walks in the day in order to give it exercise, and would come home too tired, and too filled with fresh air, to care much about love-making. Maybe you can teach her to read ana smoke, too. There are so many nice, tactful ways out of your distress that it makes me happy to think that I am writing to a couple who are in love with each other, even though the wife does not realive her husband is tired in the evenings. Plenty of exercise in the open air, a comfortable living room for everybody, and something to keep her busy is my prescription for your wife’s case. Dear Miss Lee—l am 17 years old and am deeply In love with a fellow 20 years old. I have/ gone with him one month steady. He eomes three times a week, but the other night he acted so nice to me,' hut hp pot ready to start home he
AStHDRfinumoSECQ 2215 E. WASH. ST. LEWIS FUBNITDBtCOI
said he wanted to go steady In one way and in another way he didn’t. He said when he had to go somewhere the girl he was going with thought he had another date. He was telling me about getting some letters, and he told me about a girl he used to go with coming back and wanted him to come and see her. hut said he never went. I love him. I Just cry all the time about him. I don’t want to go with any one else but him, but says he will come to see me lust like he always does, but not steady. For sometimes he never warts tohave a date with any one all week, he says. Tell me, do you think he loves me or not. If so, what made him change all of a sudden? He said he would keep his promise as long as I did about not going with any one else. Do you think this other girl has any effect on him or not? He keeps asking if I am mad and says to have a date with any one all week, he hasn’t done this way before, so why doesn’t he want to go steady with me any longer? HEARTBROKEN. Heartbroken: You have just been going with this man one short month, and are now beginning to understand him. For the first month you supposed, child-like, that he, and all the rest of the world were just like yourself, and when they,, loved loved with the same devotion as yourself. But there are few people, who love with such singular devotion as yourself. Most people have some other interest in life, and if they didn’t have, how would the work of the world go on? If everyone was built like you, and would cry all day because of the state of their emotions, who would build the houses, and make the shoes, and prepare all the comforts and inventions which keep out tt” cold and feed and shelter us? Your boy has a job, perhaps, a. some other interest in life. He can’t think love is as important a matter as you do, because a great deal of his time is by necessity filled with other things. Perhaps he would like to think of love all day, but he can not, and you really should not. You have nothing to cry about. He is just different from what you expected him to be, and that is all. What right did you have to meet a man and then expect hib to be something you had created out of your own mind in the way of a lover and not what he had really grown up to be? I think he loves you, but I don’t think he wants you to own and possess him entirely. He has a right to his own disposition, and if he never wants to go out on a date at all some weeks, he certainly has a right to inform you that he is fond of staying alone or with men, sometimes. The other girl has nothing to do with it, I am sure. But if you act so entirely incapable of understanding this man, and even unwilling to try and understand that his disposition may be different from yours, you can perhaps drive him away from you and into her arms. Your trouble is somewhat like that of the wife of J. 8., whose letter is printed above. You can talk and think about nothing but love all the time, and unless you want to be as tiresome a wife as J. B. says his is.

you must fill your xnind with other interests. Did you ever try to sew? There are lots of nice things to be made in the art department of the stores and they save money, too. Then you can dry your tears and you will have something else to think about during the day and something nice to talk about at night.
