Bad Marriage Bargain Within Scope of Advice to Make the Best of It’ By MARTHA LEE MUCH has been written about the sanctity of marriage, but it can also be considered from a very practical viewpoint. Marriage is a bargain or an agreement between two persons. When a bargain has been made, it should be kept. Only after failure, every means has been used to try to make this agreement work out successfully, should one feel justified in having this contract dissolved.

vVe all admire the person who has the pluck and determination to “make the best of a bad bargain.” That is my advice to most of my readers who write me about their unhappy married life. If every one would consider the character, mannerisms, disposition and financial status of his or her betrothed as critically before the marriage ceremony as after, I know there would not be so many unhappy bargains made. Deer Martha Lee: I have been reading your letters in The Times, and I wonder it you could help me. I am 28 ana am rather good-looking. I have been married ten years and nave three children. I have a good husband, who works hard, but we are very hard run and In debt. I have no freedom at all—Just stay at home and work hard to make end3 meet. 1 have no clothes to go out in, not even enough to keep the warm. My husband •earns to think I ought to be satisfied. The worst is I do not love my husband, although I have never told him so. I love another trail, who is a doctor. I have never been out with this man. Do you think it would be wrong for me to have a few hours of happiness with him? I am so disgusted with the life I am leading. Do you think I should tell my husband how i feel about him, or just go on living this wry for the children's •ake? I beheve my husband loves me. UNHAPPY WIPE. Dear Unhappy Wife: Your three little children show you the answer to your problem. For their sake I know you would not do anything to jeopardize their happiness. It would be wrong, of course, for you to go out with this doctor. I think it is more a case of infatuation than of love, anyhow. Unhappy wives are apt to confuse the two, you know. Do not tell your husband. There Is no sense in ruining his life. Try to become interested in your husband again and perhaps you will regain yciur love for him. Remember, it is your duty to keep • home for your children. Weary: Yours is an exceptional case. Do not go back to your husband, because I really think he is trying to avoid paying alimony for the support of his children. Your mother and stepfather are advising you well. For the next few years you should be at home taking care of your children. When your two babies get older it will be time enough for you to think of a career, in the meantime read and study so that you will have a receptive mind for whatever line of work you choose to do later.

A Jane Regny Skiing suit in dark blue English Another Regny model, for skating—dark blue with flannel, stitch-trimmed. nickel buttons.

BY ROSETTE | NEA Fashion Expert PARIS, Jan. 3.—Winter sports j fashions have become so standard- j ized that they can be divided into 1 three distinct categories; the skat- j ing ensemble, the skiing ensemble ; and the toboganning ensemble. Simplicity is the keynote, but at l the same time just as much care and attention is devoted to the clothes which are meant to be worn by the devotee of winter sports as to any other ensemble. The girl who starts out to acquire an outfit for winter sports must banish any idea of startling effects—the houses which specialize in this type of clothes have decreed that the only permissible vivid color com-

binations must reside in the sweater which is an integral part of all three ensembles. And even then these vivid colors are attentuated. as it were, because the medium used is wool, which lacks the brilliancy of silk, but harmonizes better with the brilliancy .. of the background of snow. Regny Prefers Gray-Blue The skating ensemble is composed cf a very short full skirt, a highnecked jumper and a short coat of the same material as the skirt, which is meant to be worn when not actually skating. Jane Regny, whose specialty is sports clothes, shows just such an ensemble in a grayish-blue. The jacket has bright steel buttons rather like military

buttons and is belted. With this she shows one of her new jumpers of a lighter blue with a design of “degrade” oval pastilles in a very light grey, these starting large at the hem and finishing in minute ovals at the top. She has a wonderful collection of these jumpers in all the color combinations imaginable—beige pastilles on a lemon ground, grey on red, and vice versa. As for accessories for the skating ensemble, the thick woolen hose must be of a matching shade. The aviator’s leather helmet, the basque beret or the woolen polo cap with or wtihout the “pompon” are worn indifferently. Fur or wool lined leather gauntlet gloves, or fluffy white wool gloves, if the sweater has a white ground, are worn. White, by the way, is not at all popular with the coutriers for winter sports, as they contend it dees not stand out sufficiently against the background. Variety of Taste The skiing ensemble is very simple. A pair of knee-breeches and jacket in heavy, waterproof material, a jumper, the V-shaped neck or high-necked, as preferred, with woolen cap and gloves to match. Jenny uses a beige and brown checked velvet with an angora-wool jumper buttoning down the side, trimmed with the same checked velvet. Jane Regny uses dark blue with a lighter jumper and Patou uses black for the suit and an almond green sweater with vivid raspberry and dark stripes, or, again, a lightish blue ground with darker blue and raspberry stripes. With these he shows the tight woolen cap finished off at the top with three fluffy woolen tufts and gloves to match, and a scarf as well, if a lownecked sweater 3s preferred. For the bob-sleigh, the long, full Norwegian trousers finished off with an ankle strap are invariably worn. The material can be of heavy wool material or a cover coating, the inevitable sweater and either a fur or wool-lined leather jacket. Jane Regny uses a beige coating for her bobbing ensemble, a beige sweater with a darkish red design and a dark red leather jacket, or, if preferred, a white sweater striped yellow beige or brown. In any case, the suit itself, whether for skating, skiing or bobbing, should be of such a color that a change of sweaters is permissible—this in order to break the monotony of a long sojourn in the mountains.

BEAUTY HOW and WHY tt tt tt CURE, PREVENTION, OF HALITOSIS

BY ANN ALYSIS Now that you have visited your! dentist, had your mouth and teeth i examined, and he has pronounced! your unpleasant breath due to the; bad condition of your teeth, your i next step is, of course, to have your j teeth put in the best possible shape. The dentist will give them a thor- j ough cleaning, remove the accumu- ! lated tartar, fill the cavities which have been collecting particles of food which afterward decayed and; caused the disagreeable breath condition so embarrassing to you. When this work is finished, your problem will be to prevent a recurrence of the halitosis. This can be easily done by taking certain hygienic precautions in the care of the mouth. Use a good dentifrice on the teeth and use it three times a day after meals. Brush the teeth well with this dentifrice of your choice. Use a brush of the best quality you can buy; no one enjoys eating a mouthful of bristles every time he cleans his teeth. And right here let me say a word in behalf of the children. Never, never buy cheap brushes for them. There is nothing so discouraging to a child trying to form the toothbrush habit as to get bristles in his mouth. Also it is highly dangerous. A good antiseptic solution is oi immense value in keeping the mouth in prime condition. They may be obtained at any drug store. Wood-Barrett Mr. and Mrs. Edward Barrett, 2610 E.

Marriage on Trial Never Will Be Rule BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON No announcements were sent out of the trial marriage of Dr. Hendrik Van Loon to Frances Goodrich, the actress. And yet no attempt was made at. concealment. Is such a case as this of trial marriage representative of custom? Is it becoming epidemic? Or is it merely a sporadic case in which the principals feel themselves competent to disregard social law and convention? One has a feeling that mothers are becoming uneasy. Carefully watchful for any such signs of the times to prove or disapprove Mr. Freud and his theory of free love, Judge Lindsey and his theory of freedom in marriage, and other writers with equally liberal views, they look for concrete examples. When they read, theory does not alarm them. But when they are faced by a living example of practice, panic seizes them. Have they brought their daughters up to womanhood just in time to be introduced into an age when try-out marriages are sanctioned? I do not think that they need to worry. Trial marriages are not new. They are not even particularly indicative of the times. Affinities, soul-mates, and other partnerships cf more or less lurid character are as old as the hills. We worried little before, so why worry now? It is the open discussion and the intelligence with which we face the thing now that makes it look all the more menac-' ihg. That is the Also the prediction that such things are sooner or later bound to become custom stays in our minds. If trial marriages become customary there is only one end, of course—chaos. But they won’t, if for no other reason than because they are impracticable to the point of impossibility. Pi une Tarts If serving cranberry jelly or other jellies, why not make them twice as attractive by moulding them in fancy shapes? Small moulds are very inexpensive.
