Woman With Children Commits Injustice When Failing to Ask Alimony BY MARTHA LEE rplIE problem of alimony is always before us in some form i L or oilier. Huge sums are demanded from wealthy, or even moderately well-to-do, husbands in divorce cases. Judges are becoming more and more disgusted with the outrageous demands of women who refuse to keep their part of the matrimonial bargain, but still demand that the erstwhile husband keep them in luxury at the expense of his own future financial

pr domestic security. fHiite different is the type of woman who, after the matrimonial bark has crashed, starts out on her own with the idea of being entirely independent of her former husband. In many cases she has a child or two for whom she asks nothing. However much of a relief she may be from her parasitic sister, the woman who refuses or fails to have awarded to her by court a reasonable amount to help support her children is making a grave mistake. Unless her ability is remarkable she will find that supporting a family is a great responsibility and that in attempting to do it without the assistance to which her children are entitled she is doing them a serious injustice. Few' men of the right type would fail to offer to meet this obligation. If they do fail, they should be forced to do thier share. Dear Martha Lee: I was going steadily with a boy until a month ago. He left suddenly and did not say anything about, me writing or calling. I haven't heard from him since. Do vou think I wolud be out of place to write or call him? I have no phone fdr him to call me. I don't know what 1 have done for him to act this wav. BABS. Babs. I shouldn’t worry too much about this affair if I were you. You have not told me your age, but from your handwriting I judge that you are in your teens. Therefore, in my opinion, you are too young to devote all your time to one boy. Besides, I think that the boy has been very rude to you and you should certainly wait until he looks you up of his own accord and explains his curious behavior. It isn't up to you to make the first move and you could do so only at a great sacrifice of dignity. Dear Martha I.ce: My husband and I have been separated for two years and I have had to work continually to support 'my 8-year-old child. At 27 life seems a bad dream lor me. I'm tired of work—everything. But what i I do? I have no people. Should I put my child in a home for three years and get her iater? She is sick aha needs a doctor cverv week. Will the homes take her in this condition? I am not able to pay * doctor, and something must bo done. LORINE. .torine, your problem is indeed a great _one. I would suggest that you get in touch with your husband and try to arrange with him a definite plan to help support your child. It is not up to you to attempt this alone, and you cannot pcsibly do justice to the child without assistance. If the child is in need of medical attention you should take her to a clinic. I believe that you can put her in a day nursery for a very nominal amount, or even a free nursery. If you decide to do this be sure that you select one of the nurseries operated by reputable charitable organizations. I shall be glad to help you do this if you will inform me as to your decision on the matter.

GIRL ABOUT TOWN BY MARILYN

Time was when I was a healthy robust young woman who enjoyed beefsteak and mushrooms, pate de foies gras and an occasional aperitif. Life was fresh and invigorating; my existence was a song; my digestion excellent. Now I have become a sniveling, sniggling, snuffling idiot, all because we moved to Twenty-First and Delaware Sts. Now at dinner time, preferably at week-end dinner times, when I am entertaining a small dinner party, instead of the usual commonplace hors de’oeuvre for my guests, I arrange the unexpected, the unusual, the unique, that touch of je ne sais quai, which makes the perfect hostess. Guests Like the Noise Usually ‘the meal starts off with just a minor accident, on the corner. A rear tire is knocked off or hood gently smashed in. Scarcely anyone is hurt. Os course, the noise is a bit nerve wrecking but the guests seem to enjoy it. After the main course which is gulped between attacks of acute nervous indigestion, we always have what we call in this vicinity, a "bus tarantella,” that is, one bus executed a few original ideas of its own in the middle of the street, which unfortunately often involves a vital part of some other car. Within the past two weeks we have had one car turn over completely, one bus smash another car injuring three occupants, one has hit an east and west going sedan, injuring the driver around the eyes. . Compare Disasters Almost any rainy day the occupants of the four corners at Twenty-First and Delaware Sts., George W. Price, Dr. McAlexander, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall T. Levey and daughter, meet regularly in the middle of the street to pass the time of day, chat pleasantly awhile of this and that, and then compare today’s disaster with the one that happened yesterday. “This is really a very inadequate accident compared with yesterday’s” Mr. Price might say scornfully. "Only two wheels and the windshield were demolished on this car.” “It isn't even typical of what can be done at this corner,” agrees Mr. Levey. “Now last Sautrday we had a splendid example. A young Ford was knocked on its side and it took four minutes for the driver to crawl out of the debris. Now that is what I call a really successful accident. Os course,” he sighs, “one can t expect an accident like that every day. But times are improving indubitably.” “Yes,” encouraged a woman from the crowd, “all the best people in town are luiving their accidents here. It really is becoming a real social asset. I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else to have my motor smashed.” Dr. McAlexander smiles a trifle grimly. After all he is the least safe of any of us. Last summer a car occupied by four very young men tried savagely to attack his front porch. They just don’t seem to care what they do. Os course, the fact that there are

U. leader, who is suggested as a candidate for sheriff of Porter County on an out-and-out liquor law enforcement platform. “I want to be sure that this is a real call for service and therefore I am giving it careful consideration," she said.

Grotto Auxiliary The woman’s auxiliary to Sahara Grotto met today at the Lincoln. no stop signs either on the west side or the east side of Delaware St. might have some faint connection with the multiplicity of injuries to life and property here. A young man from Connersville was cut over the eye in a minor accident which demolished his car. Living in Connersville, he should have known that Delaware was a preferential street. Nowadays a slam. bang, shrill scream of breaks and a crash of glass, followed by sickening thuds mean only one thing in my life. But if the strawberry souffle is particularly tempting we casually enjoy our dessert and the gentlemen a Corona as they bet on whether it is a Buick or a Chrysler this time. Yours for bigger and better accidents. MARILYN. P. SAs I was writing this jeremiad I heard the faint “tap-tap” down on the street. Going to the window I saw some young men putting up two feeble little stop signs on either side of Delaware St. Now if they will only place a couple of metal topped stops signs in the asphalt and a stop-go light at the intersection, life will be worth living again.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Mom, Dearest: You’d never have thought It of Alan! I'm so wild I could live in a cage, and I don’t mean a bird cage. Florence told him that Billy was coming to the party—she just sort of let the tidings slip out. We thought it was all right with him because he didn’t even frown. But I ought to have known that his car-ate-canary smile meant something more than a mere smile. When Billy arrived upon the scene Alan was all molasses candy. Even then I didn’t tumble. It was a grand party for a while and everything was going beautifully when in walked Alan’s lady friend of the scented stationery. Just play that on your ironing board. Alan actually invited that hula walker to my party. Well, thereafter all the frost was in the icebox. Oh, no, I didn’t let her suspect that I hadn’t expected her. Alan stood off grinning after he'd introduced her to me. I dripped welcome all over her, but for once I made Alan come right out in the kitchen and take an active part in the main features of our entertainment. He's always sidstepped the heavy stuff and considered he'd done enough with his parlor tricks. But this time he cracked ice and ground coffee and spread caviar, while I told him what I thought of his nerve. He tried to flunk it, but T told him I'd go out and give his friend the bum’s rush if he didn't listen to me. Then he said he'd do the same to my special guest, and if I had any sporting blood I’d see that he'd only handed me the kind of a nifty I had coming. That sort of tied my hands. But the party was spoiled for me. So I didn’t care when Mabel Clary showed up. She was another surprise. Florence invited her. By this time I was prepared to see anybody walk in. Not that I’ve anything against Mabel, but I was going to mind the influence she might exert upon Florence. I did not want her around while Florence is here. It wouldn’t take much urging to get Florence to stay and I don’t think she’s got enough talent for the stage. Besides, she told me that Mabel wants her to share a studio. If I thought Florence had a chance to make the grade, I’d do all I could to encourage her. But I can't see why she should make it difficult for every one in order to take a flop. With all my love.

Stresses Motherhood "Woman needs to dedicate herself to the idea of motherhood,” Dr. Fortune said in his talk. “The present situation makes it difficult to have children in the home. The poor must work. The rich have a social life which makes children inconvenient, and the middle class is kept from having children by the expense of living. "Companionate marriage, frequent divorce and the philosophic idea of marriage are destroying the old ideals of the home,” Dr. Fortune continued. "It is a tremendous problem facing us in which women must take the lead. Changed Conditions "The changes that have come during our generation have placed women In anew world. She no longer has to many to make a home and all professions and business are open to her. The change in position has made man lose some of his chivalrous regard for her and her insistence on single standards has meant to her that she should come down to his level.” Mrs. M. D.
