Wife in Middle Forties Should Demand Alimony of Philandering Husband BY MARTHA LEE A FEW days ago the subject of alimony was mentioned in the light of the prevalence of the parasite type of young woman who demands that a man keep her after she has gained her freedom, thus jeopardizing his chances for happiness in the future. Today a different problem involving the alimony question has come up. When a woman has reached the middle forties, rtared a

f amily and devoted her best years to one man she is ir> as much happiness and security as he is able to provide for her. , It happens all too frequently that men feel inclined to a middle aged “fling.” Then the wife is faced with the problem of divorce or the far more humiliating spectacle from the point of view of the scandal avid looker-on —of continuing to live with a man who is notably unfaithful to hei*: In many cases the wife has the idea that she is being “broadminded” and modern in permitting this situation to exist. This is not true. She is subjecting herself to untold humiliation for a person who has proved himself unworthy and the sensible and dignified thing to do is to get a divorce as quietly as possible and sufficient alimony to keep her comfortably for the rest of her life. Dear Miss Leer Is it right for a middle-aged woman whose children are both grown to go on living with a man when she knows he is untiy.e? My husband could pay me alimony enough to keep me the rest of my life and I could let him loose to tear around with this yellow-headed ultramodern half-wit who is occupying his time and spending his money. Or I can go on living with him, trying to convince mvseif that I am keeping up appearances. When tve go on living together I don’t .bother him, nor he me and we hardly ever go anywhere together. He is always seen with the other woman and they are both well known. X hate to let him loose, but mv friends think I am giving in to him when I live with him and he knows I know he is philandering. Is it worse, for the looks of the thing to go on like we are. or should I give him up? „ PREFERRING WIDOWHOOD. Preferring Widowhood: You are making a great mistake in living with your husband under the circumstances you have set forth. Even if he should give this other woman up, the humiliation that his unfaithfulness has caused will never be erased from your mind. I should advise you to get a divorce with as little fuss as possible and to try to find happiness by living your own life. It may, and doubtless will be, difficult for you, but you will at least have saved your self-respect. My Dear Miss Lee: Your discussions of platonic friendship are ouite all right. But I believe there is such a thing. To me there is nothing wrong with a girl going to a man’s apartment to ent or to listen to new records or to play bridge, if their friendship is of the unsentimental kind. Why shouldn't she play a sort of hostess if there are two other guests for bridge and why shouldn't she stay and help straighten up the dishes and food afterward and have the “after talk,” of a party which is after all the most enjoyable. We are all old enough in our group to know what we are doing. There is none of the foolish wild goings-on of most apartment parties, so why not have a good time together? Don’t you think that mine is a sensible view? A BACHELOR GIRL. Bachelor Girl: If you are sincere and truthful, as your letter indicates, I see no harm in your continuing your friendship with these boys. There is no reason why friendships of that sort cannot thrive on a perfectly wholesome basis. The only point on which you are treading on dangerous ground is that the world at large may misinterpret your “apartment parties.” Annual Dinner Governor Oliver Perry Morton chapter.

BY MARJORIE DORK Health and Baeuty Expert for NEA Service Nothing impairs a woman's feminity more than overstuffed shoulders and over-large arms. Heavy shoulders are quite unpardonable, too, since reducing them is a simple matter of proper exercise. Reducing the upper arm is a little difficult and to a large extent must come with the general attenuation of all superfluous flesh. Here is an exercise to take the puff out of puffy shoulders: Criss-Cross Stand erect, knees together, arms extended to the sides. Now cross Hitch Not an 111 Omen In spite of a “hitch” considered a marriage ill omen in their wedding sixty years ago Thursday, when the minister failed to appear, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Webster Heagy, near Columbus, celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary with a family gathering at their home.

them in front of you with a vigorous swing, the right arm above. Swing them back, then in front again, the left uppermost this time. Repeat, alternating hard and fast. Another motion beneficial to the shoulders is to swing the arms up and down toward the front from the same position taken in the preceding exercise. Good for both arms and shoulders, as well as the waistline and trunk, is this one: Starting as above and keeping the arms out stiff to the sides, bend the right arm downward until the hand is below the knees, which are kept rigid. Then up and down on the left side, like a walking-beam. These exercises, done often and vigorously, will not only reduce the arms and shoulders, but they will tighten up the muscles of the bust. I do not advise any woman to try to reduce her bust, except by general body reduction. Expert massage is helpful, but it must be expert. Kellogg Diet T am going to tell you today of the Kellogg diet, which many women prefer above all others: For breakfast, choice of fruit—orange juice, grape fruit, apples, or stewed fruit—one cup of coffee or tea without cream or sugar, and a slice of whole wheat toast. For luncheon, vegetable or any thin soup, but no purees; tomato, lettuce or vegetable salad, or a choice of green vegetables with lemon juice and mineral oil in the place of regular salad dressing, and one glass of buttermilk or any fluid. No bread nor toast of any kind. For dinner, one small helping of beans, macaroni, cheese or any meatless food, two vegetables, cooked or raw, any green salad, and half a slice of whole wheat bread. This is a diet upon which you can live indefinitely, have a wide choice of food, and still reduce steadily. And it cannot possibly harm you in any way because it affords all the food values you actually require. I advise you to try for a week each of the diets I have prescribed in these articles. By watching your weight you can quickly ascertain which is most helpful. Then follow that one carefully until, encouraged by regular, determined exercise, your scales tell the desired tale. Book Review for Club Mrs. Katherine Turney Garten guest speaker will give a book review at the meeting of the Fortnightly Literary Club Tuesday at the Propylaeum. Election of officers will follow. Dinner Hostess Miss Merrett Kistner entertained twenty-four guestc at dinner Thursday evening. Spring flowers decorated the tables. Appointments were in pink and blue.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ a a a THEIR LETTERS

BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES Marye, my dear: The kind of lecture you need is a good one from Alan on extravagance. Thirty dollars to listen to a Swami —whatever they are—preach a lot of nonsense about love! I never heard of such foolishness! Frank told me that Genevieve went to one of those lectures when she was in the city last fall and that she hasn’t been normal since. Always talking about soul matings and some mysterious power to attract affinities. It looks to me as if she doesn’t know what real love is, and I only hope Frank isn’t in love with her. He never says anything about that. There is some excuse for a girl like Genevieve when she gets excited over a lot of crazy cults and ’isms because she hasn’t yet "found” herself, as some of your friends would say. But how a young woman who is happily married to a respectable man can take an interest in such things is beyond my comprehension. You may be sure that husbands never appear to their wives as spiritual lovers, Marye. And when you turn away from the realities of life to seek diversion and thrills in the teachings of a person who has nothing in common with you and your mode of life you will find yourself in trouble. I suppose you didn’t think of Alan while you were oeing “transported” —that’s what Genevieve says the Swami did for her —into the “realms of love eternal.” An everyday, mon-ey-grabbing husband would have been “out of the picture,” I imagine. But just remember, Marye, that you wouldn’t have been there in one of your pretty dresses and nice accessories if you hadn't a husband like Alan. Real men may not be as romantic as you’d like them, but they deserve better than to work for money their wives spend to hear someone tell them how to attract a lover. And instead of thinking of having your portrait pained, you’d better make the first payment on a house. Lovingly. MOM.
