Wife Who Frees Untrue Husband Punishes More Than by Denying Liberty BY MARTHA LEE WHEN a woman has been deserted by her husband through no fault of her own, she wonders what she should do. Many a woman prefers divorce to this tickle husband and let him marry the woman who caused Ihc trouble between the man and his wife. Other women seem to think that the revenge of withholding the divorce and so prohibiting the man from marrying again

is more satisfying Ilian being l'id of more than a bad bargain. She believes that if she can not have this man the other woman can not have him either. In answering this question, my advice is to divorce the deserting husband. A man of this sort has so little regard for any one besides himself that the second wife will be in a far worse situation than the first wife, who at least has her freedom. Another point, when a woman has closed a chapter in her life, even though she had to kill the love she had for some man, the hurt is far less than the one felt by the woman who keeps the affair alive by refusing to divorce the man she loves, but who has not been loyal to her. Dear Miss Lee: I am coming to you lor advice. Nine months ago I went to my mother’s to spend the day. When I returned I was informed that my husband had left me and filed suit for a divorce He had gone to live with a woman and lived witn her as man and wife. They rode around together so I could see them and when she would see me, laugh in my face. Now Miss Lee. I lived with my husband for nine years, loved him and was true to him. I always worked and helped him. X feel as though X have stood quite a bit. He could not get a divorce as he had no grounds. This woman has broken up three homes and no one has tried to stop her because she has money to back her. Should I make him support me, sue her or give him a divorce and let him marry her and let that be his punishment, or should I let them make a fool out of me. Thank you for your advice. LONESOME WIFE. Dear Lonesome Wife: The best thing for you to do is to get a divorce with alimony. You are entitled to support because after your leading the life of a housewife for nine years your earning powers have decreased. You would be very foolish to stay tied to this man who is doing all in his power to humiliate you. Being still his legal wife, if you were to die he would be able to make claims on your estate, which know you would not want to happen. This woman probably will give him enough unhappiness if he marries her, so perhaps he will find out that the woman who broke up three homes is not capable of keeping her own intact. Perhaps when you are rid of this man and have regained your freedom, you will meet some other man for whom you might learn to care and who might make for you the sort of a husband every woman wants. Dear Miss Lee: lam 15. Do vou think I am too young to have dates if I do not date too steadily? My father is opposed to girls my age keeping company with fellows. I enjoy going out but I do not like to go unless I can feel that I am going against my father's wishes. Another thing. Miss Lee, I run around with a girl a year older than I. She really is a good girl, but some persons think she is wild, though she is not so bad. Do you think I should drop her because of what other persons think when I know Just what she is? BOATS. Dear Boats: You are too young to be having dates and I well understand your father’s reluctance to permit you to run around. However, I think that ar. occasional party or private dance or perhaps a show now and then are all right for a girl your age to attend. You see, Boats, a girl who goes out when she is still so young becomes very “hard" and unattractive in a few years because she saw all the thrills before she had the mental balance to adapt herself to them. Your father understands this and that is the reason for his very sensible rules. Do not go with this girl of whom you wrote me. You are too young to be championing the cause of any girl who has a sordid reputation. Department Notes The health education department of the Y. W. C.

Van de View Through the Looking Glass

Mrs. Hoover Held Ideal ‘First Lady of the Land ’ Mrs. Herbert Hoover is described,as an ideal “first lady of the land” by Frederick L. Collins, who is writing a series of sketches of the wives of men who are most talked of for the presidency. There can be no discussion of her ability to meet the great leaders of the world because she has met them many times in many lands,” says the writer. “There can be no speculation as to her ability to cooperate with her husband in matters of state because she has already done so in the greatest crisis of the world's history. Asa woman of the world, as an experienced observer of statesmen and statesmanship, above all as a wife, Mrs. Hoover is the ideal future mistress of what she herself describes as ‘the most beautiful as well as the most honored home in the land.’ ”

Active in University ~ Mrs. Hoover's parents moved with her as a child from Waterloo la., to California, where her interests are many. She attended the university in Monterey on the campus of which the Hoovers now have a house. She has been the prime mover in building desirable small houses for young professors who cannot pay much for them and is a member of many clubs and societies engaged in social and philanthropic work in the college town. She is almost as much interested as her husband in the Hoover War Memorial Library which he presented to the university. It was the outdoor life of California which appealed to her most, for Mrs. Hoover is a thorough out-of-doors woman. The Hoover house in S St., Washington, was chosen for its trees and in its window boxes grew vegetables instead of flowers. She is an officer and an active troop member of the Girl Scouts, and not long ago drove a car from California to Washington, bringing her father with her after the death of her mother. Being an engineer and forced to go where engineering tasks called, Mr. Hoover took his bride witli him to China in lieu of a honeymoon. It was at the time of the Boxer rebellion and Mrs. Hoover’s first hospitality consisted in serving meals to beleagured Americans behind a barricade of sugar barrels and rice bags, which, indidentally, furnished the principal diet. Mrs. Hoover was in London with her husband when the World War began and she played as important a part as her husband in early war work. In London she formed the Womens Relief Committee for the return of stranded Americans. Later in Washington she roganized the Food Administration Club and ran a combination tearoom and boarding house where the girls of her husband’s department could secure homelike quarters at a nominal rent. Maintains Friendly Home Housekeeping sits lightly upon Mrs. Hoover's shoulders. She lives in a fine old colonial house of the type of the eas y eighteen hundreds, just right for “Cabinet Wednesday.” Her home is an open, friendly house, the kind from which miscellaneous young people are always getting married and into which the neighbors’ children are always running, Her drawing room has an air of welcome which is enhanced by the charm of the hostess, who is an admirable story teller, and both a gay and serious conversationalist. Mrs. Hoover wears her white hair coronet fashion around her head and holds her slender, youthful body in an attitude of erect alertness. She moves quickly and talks quickly and prefers blue and black as colors, the former setting off her eyes and the latter her hair to a charming advantage. She is fond of knitting and was just completing a sweater for Herbert Hoover IT. when seen by the interviewer—the only indication that she is a grandmother. Needlework also absorbs her and recently when women of the official circle took up needle-point work, she disdained the old world scenes and worked on a tapestry instead, the Washington monument with its base surrounded by Japanese cherry trees. MEMBERS OF CLUB TURN NOVEL AUTHORS EVANSVILLE, Ind., March 19. Inspired by the current literary fashion of having many authors for one book, the Women’s Press Club of Evansville has a novel well under way. “Any Woman” is being written by the entire club, each member adding a chapter and the club passing on this before the next is started. Mrs. Alda McCoy Honig. former professor of piano at De Pauw University, gave a recital at the special guest night and open meeting of the club. Marie Horton Woods, talked on “Feature Stories,” and Wahnita DeLong. dean of women at Evansville College, spoke. Sixty-E if) hth Ann iv ersa ry Mr. and Mrs. William Weasner, Rockford, celebrated their sixtyeighth wedding anniversary Saturday. Friday Mr. Weasner observed his ninety-first birthday. They have lived in Rockford thirty-six years and during which Mr. Weasner has owned a truck garden. Mrs. A. L. Waters will entertain Tuesday at the Marott with a luncheon bridge for ten people.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ tt an THEIR LETTERS

BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES Dearest Marye: “Well, Good Influence, what's the matter with exerting yourself in behalf of your own character? I don’t think Alan is selfish to want to keep the car while you are away. I’m sorry I put the idea of driving it out here into your head, but I was thoughtlessly passing on Florence's message. It ought to make your visit more enjoyable if you know he has something to amuse himself with. And you know Frank still has the old Lizzie. Says he’s going to trade it in on anew car. So you will have something to get around in—unless Frank sends the Lizzie to the junk man as he threatens when he gets mad. He’s mad a lot lately. Having trouble with his girl and over the most unheard of things. Frank calls it a “complex,” whatever in the world that is. He was calling her up about going to a dance the other night and it seemed she had planned to go to a show with her father. They had the craziest conversation. From what Frank said to her I think she told him she had a “father fixation.” Well, if she has anything like that I think she’d better see a doctor and not be telling Frank wfiat’s the matter with her. I asked him afterwards what it meant and he said it was highbrow lingo for an unnatural attachment. What things you youngsters do talk about! Frank says all the girls he knows like to discuss these classroom subjects. Birth control is a leading topic he said, but I guess he didn’t mean that. He told me to listen around and find out. I spoke to Florence about it ar.d she laughed and said that was light stuff. Maybe you know what psychoanalysis, pituitary glands and biology mean to these kids, but I'm sure I don’t. Florence told me they mean life and how to spell the words, but they don’t sound like fit conversation for boys and girls to me. I tried to tell Pa about it and he said he never expected to hear me ’say such things, and if Frank was such a fool as to get het up over a girl who had ideas like that in her head he’d better get rid of his old tin can and stop taking her out to the lake on joy rides. Lovingly, MOM. Dearest Mom: You mustn’t let yourself be disturbed over the subjects the kids choose to talk about nowadays. Frank's right—you've got to sound deep if you want people to listen to you. And what's the difference, anyway? When everyone’s doing it there’s no occasion for any shooting. I went to lunch with Shirley Wells at her home the other day, Mrs. Wells gave us a song and dance about the tough talk of the younger generation. It made me tired to listen to her because I know darn well that a lot of our swearing and hard-boiled expressions are thrown into the conversation just to shock poeple who don’t understand us. We’ve been criticised so much we think we might as well give the anvil chorus something to knock. If Shirley weren't always telling her friends to watch their step when her ma’s hovering around I’d have said just what I thought, and it was plenty. But we all like Shirley and try to avoid disturbing her master’s mental equilibrium. After lunch we went up to Shirley's room and she had a cigaret. Opened the windows first so there wouldn’t be any smoke in the room to tell tales. I suppose some people would call her a hypocrite, but I don’t. She’s old enough to decide things like that for herself; and if her mother wants to try to dictate to her I think she’s a dear to pretend to stand for it even if she does have her own way in private. Some girls I know would not only get a laugh out of being bossed, but they’d hand back a line of slangology that would curl the air. And that’s the joke of it. A lot of parents are afraid of a young boy or girl who talks back. The kids get wise to this timidity and cater to it because it gives them the upper hand. They’ve been

And another in a slanting line—the fashion of the hour— Gives the lady who is wearing it a fascinating power, And the menu card he drops, for who on earth w'ould care to eat When he has a chance to feast his eyes upon a dainty sweet?
