Husband With Faults Better Happiness Risk Than ‘Tin God’ Mate BY MARTHA LEE TIN gods do not make the best husbands. A perfect man is a very hard person to enjoy and even more difficult to be ‘‘worthy” of him. Some of my readers have written me about young men who have minor faults and ask me whether or not these young men will be a good gamble in the game of husbands. It is my opinion that a woman is much happier with a man whom she is not under a constant strain to live up to his ex-

treme ideals of the conduct of a wife. The person who has some minor defects in his character has a much more broadminded view of life because he can understand how mistakes will occur. I know a young wife who is perhaps happier than most women. She herself admits her husband can tell three of the best stories about any happening of any one in town and not one of the three versions even approach the truth. She knew that he is just one of those charming persons who can not stick to the everyday and most times commonplace facts about anything. Os course, when she married him she well understood his failing, so she was prepared. That young woman knows, that her husband will not object to any little fault of hers. He is jolly and has a good disposition because he knows he is far from perfect. This is my answer to the cautious girls who write me about their fiances. A little dash of the cavalier helps any puritan disposition. Pear Martha Lee: I realty am exasperated with my fiance. He never can be on time no matter what we are going to do. He always arrives, hot also always late, his tardiness varying from five minutes to an hour or more. He has a nice disposition and never criticizes me. I love him. but I am afraid that this trait of his will make me become a nagging wife. S. R. Dear S. R.: Since you love this young man and really want to marry him, you had better start a training course for yourself in becoming accustomed to his being late. .When he says he will call at eight, plan to.be ready at nine. Always make allowances for his tardiness, and you will avoid the feeling of utter exasperation that - comes with wailing for someone. Do not be foolish, my dear S. R., and jilt this young man who has the most necessary quality of a good disposition .iust because he never knows the time. , The good disposition is more neccessarv for a successful husband than the promptness you want. Dear Miss Lee: I have been going with a girl friend ior some time. We have agreed 'always and enjoyed one another's company, although she would always turn me down for some young man. Site ran not, seem to have both a boy and girl friend. However, though we have broken off .sometimes, we have always resumed our friendship. " However this last time if has seemed to hurt me more and more because this young uian with whom she is going now has.told -hf.r she can not see Vhe or go with me. Do von think she ought to do as he says, even though they are not married? He has no reason to object to our friendship. My other friends and the folks at home tell me I should ignore her whenever I see her. She used to have luncheon with me but. now she dodges the places where we used to cal. together. What do you think I should do? I still think a great deal of her but I am sure I shall never get over this hurt she has caused me. A CONSTANT READER. Dear Constant Reader: About two weeks ago I discussed the problem of a girl's having both young men and women friends. As I said before, it is possible for a girl to have both if she uses a little tact. Most friendships break up because the girl is too eager to talk about the fine qualities of one to the other. It is obvious since you have done nothing to offend this young man that he is jealous of your friendship with this girl. That is the probable explanation of his objecting to you. Remember, Constant Reader - , that a girl really is engaged in important business when she is looking for a husband. She is forced to forego some of the pleasant times she has with her girl friends so she can be “dating” and going to dances and shows. If you really like this

sore throat

Never neglect a sore throat. It is a warning that a cold —or worse —is fighting for the upper hand. At the first sign of throat irritation, use Listerine frequently — full strength. Immediately it attacks disease-producing germs in mouth and throat. Many is the cold and sore throat it has nipped in the bud. Use it systematically during cold weather months.

LISTERINE v the safe antiseptic

girl, you will be able to understand and forgive her. Do not ask her to go any place with her and do not force yourself on her. When she asks you to go some place, you will know that it is because she really wants to be with you. When she does, go with her and do not leet your pride interfere with your friendship. Dear Miss Lee: will you please tell me what, color dress is worn in n wedding in March or April? Which is the proper wav of answering a minister when one is getting married, by saying “I do” or just "yes?” I know this last question sounds foolish, but I should like to know end there is not anvone to tell me. Please answer, for I am waiting for your reply. DAISY. Dear Daisy: Any light shade of dress may be worn, beige, gray, rose, green of blue for a wedding In March or April. Os course white is preferred by most brides instead of a color. Answer “I do” to the minister. Do not be frightened during the ceremony because the minister will indicate what responses ho expects from you. Since he is accustomed to nervous brides and grooms, if you were to make a mistake he tactfully would smooth it over, t am glad to answer any of your questions, so please do not apologize for your asking them.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ tt tt a THEIR LETTERS

BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES Dear Marve: I am ."tending the cock books as you requested, also a box of jellies and preserves, and I hope you won't confine your interest to the latter. It is very sensible of you to plan to have Alan home for lunch, but isn't it too far from his office to your apartment for him to come home every day? He would have to bolt his food, and that would be bad for his digestion. I'd suggest that you arrange to give him a nice, nourishing dinner instead. I never have approved your going out so much. It must be expensive and after all it's much the same food that you say he shouldn’t have for lunch. Besides I think it's a mistake to drag a man out, of his home in the evening, too often. And it won't do you any harm to get more rest either. I saw Norman Darby on the street today and I must say he looks frightfully dissipated. I hope you didn't wear yourself out trying to live up to your new “fpeedom” as you call this shoving aside of natural feelings. You say Alan told yOu to do as you pleased. And lie hasn't confessed he is jealous has he? Well, my dear, people don't always confess, do they? Even we oldfashioned fogies have that much in common with you up-to-date husbands and wives. People always had pride and much the same general feeling about things that you have. Only we didn't, act like ostriches and stick our heads in a sand pile. And some of your theories are exactly as blindfolding to you as sand is to an ostrich. One of your theories seems to be that love of home life will come naturally to a husband whenever his wife gets tired of running around and wants to spend the evenings listening in on the radio. A woman with any sense gets tired of it about the time she sees her freshness beginning to fade. And then what? Most likely her husband has the habit of going to theaters and night clubs. I'd advise you. Maryc darling, to begin cultivating Alan’s taste in the right direction before it’s too late. You haven't been married so long that you can’t do it. It’s generally the woman who wants to go some place almost every night the first year or so. Then along comes a baby, chances are. and if they can’t afford a nurse she has to stay at home while her husband keeps right

BEAUTY HOW and WHY BUM LONG HAIR’S NOT AS TIDY ' AS THE ROB

P.Y ANN ALYSIS Women of the present generation have been wont to smile sneeringly or laugh derisively at the styles of twenty-five years ago. The bobbed head, the simple gown, the short and freedom-giving skirt were so sensible that they felt that they were here to stay. - Os course if any one were to propose that tomorrow everyone should appear in long draped skirts and long hair elaborately dressed, there would be open rebellion. But that is not the way these changes arc brought about, but rather is the change made gradually through several seasons. We arc in the course of such changes now. Long hair, longer skirts, or short skirts and long draperies at sides and back show - the trend. What has long hair to recommend its apparent revival? No one can dispute the fact tnat, the bobbed style brought with it a love for clcanliness and trim ness that never were part of the regime vher long hair was the vogue. The head being round, any arrangement of long hair, except at the neckline, is bound to slip from its moorings and as a consequence untidiness and v.hispy locks are the common order of the day—and the night. So it behooves us all. if we wish to keep this trimness, to take thought now for the future, and not follow fashion blindly if it dictates long hair again.

New Poetry Topic for Federation “Who’s Who in Very Modern Poetry.” w - as Mrs. J. F. Edwards’ subject before the Seventh District Federation of Clubs this morning at the Columbia Club. Mrs. Edwards, chairman of the literature depart* ment of the Indiana Federation of Clubs, spoke of Carl Sandburg, Amy Bowell, Robert Foster, Edgar Lee Masters, Edna St. Vincent Millaise, Sara Teasdale and Vachel Lindsey. Mrs. Wayne Reddick, chairman of drama, and Mrs. Charles W. Field, chairman of junior membership, for the Seventh district gave reports. “Poets arc the advance guard of literature and of life,” Mrs. Edwards said. “We are now in the midst of the renaissance in American poetry. The modern trend in poetry was born about 1922, and there have been practically no new types since, then. There was a great departure at that time from the usual.” Auxiliary Party Indianapolis Lodge No. 297, Ladies' Auxiliary to the B. R. TANARUS., will entertain with cards and bunco at, 8:30 p. m.
