Women Taking One- Word Advice, Leave, Can Avoid Cruelty at Men’s Hands BY MARTHA LEE WHY do women submit to the brutal mistreatment of cruel husbands ? I can never understand the psychology of the situation. This is a big world, and no woman should live with a man who mistreats her. You know, after all we live only a short time on this earth and in this imperfect life. There i!s no need making life any more difficult to live than it is of necessity.

I get letters every day from women whose husbands do not even treat them with ordinary eivil respect. But the wives are fools for resigning to such conditions. My advice is get out of it. Then there comes the cry that children, and friends and families stand in the way. But whose life are you living? Surely not the life of your family or your friends. Os course, if you love someone else better than you love your self respect, then stay right where you are, but don’t complain about your lot. In this world today no one loves a “cry baby.” It is the person who has some “get up and get” about them who wins. I have a letter here from a woman signing herself “Mother.” Her letter is too long to print, but I believe she can gain something from reading the advice printed above. If there is another question “Mother” wants answered, she should send a stamped and self-addressed envelope for a reply. Dear Martha Dee: I am a girl twenty years old, and father is dead and mother is married again. My stepfather will not let ms work or go with the boys. There is a boy friend who lives across the street from my aunt. X have been to see him several times, but my stepfather heard of this and now won’t let me go out of the house after 5:30 in the afternoon to talk to my stepfather, afternoon to to talk to my step-father, but he will not let him see me. Miss Lee, what do you think I should do. My grandmother tells me to come and live with her. She lives fifty miles from here. SAD EYES. My dear Sad Eyes: To begin with, you should not run away from home. That is a desire you should outgrow presently. If your grandmother invites you to her home to stay, and your stepfather thinks it all right, then I suggest you go at once. If you are as old as you say you are, then I see no reason why your stepfather should keep you at home in the evening. Any girl twenty years old is capable of governing her actions as well after 5:30 p. m. as before. Hasn’t your stepfather given you any reasons for his actions? Hasn’t your mother anything to say about the conduct of her own child? If there is a good reason for your parents’ action, then you should abide by their decisions. But if they are unreasonable, then about the only thing to do is to live with your grandmother. There seems to be a lot of wives whose husbands read a Gideon Bible about five nights out of seven. Am speaking of traveling men. Here is a letter from another lonesome wife: Dear Martha Ijce: I read the letters from “An Almost Widow” in The Times, and I know how to sympathize with her since I am an almost widow myself. But I am in a worse fix, since my husband has a woman in every town in which he stops. I have three children who are grown and able to take care of themselves. When thev were younger, I knew this about my husband,*;but stayed with them for their sake. Alid now that they are older, I am in poor health and can not work. I need his support and can get more money by living with him, which is no more than a bare living. My children have to help some, but none of them are in a position to support me. My advice to “An Almost Widow” Is to go with her husband when he travels. There are too many women looking for traveling men. Don’t wait—go with him before he ects away. AN UNHAPPY ALMOST WIDOW. I would like to have the name and address of “Old Boy,” who wrote to me several days ago. Your return address was lost, so send it in again. I have good news for you. Garlic Tang Rub the dish in which you mix a fresh spring salad with a bit of garlic. Bo the same for the bowl you mix French dressing in. It gives an incomparable flavor, if used sparingly. Flowers Again If you will save the bulbs when hvacinths, jonquils and so on quit blooming they will bloom next year. Dust off the earth and hang them up downstairs to dry. Dust-Red Chemisette A taffeta frock in midnight blue has a detachable chemisette of novelty chiffon-organdie in the new dust red. A bow of matching color trims a blue hat for it. Jewelry Season Jewels appear with ever/ sort of costume this season. Some of the popular kinds are coral, opals, rhine pebbles, lapis lazuli, garnets, amethysts, aquamarine, jade and mother-of-pearl.

So many housewives seem to think they “can't bake fish,” but if a glass heatproof platter is used the process is extremely simple. The platter is sent directly to the table without removing the fish. The platter will, of course, be very hot. but If it is placed on a metal trivet or on another platter and these in turn are placed on asbestos mats there is no danger of harming the table. In selecting a platter choose one of gooc size ev( n for a small family, for the platter :an be used much as a plank would be.

There is a need for the establishment of the Indiana Music Teachers As-sociation whether or not there is any immediate work tor it to do, for there is sure to be work for music teachers to do.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ ana THEIR LETTERS

BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES My dear Marye: I think you are very foolish to believe that memories of past loves are treasures. You shouldn't be thinking of any man but your husband. And comparing him with a former sweetheart whom you saw only under favorable circumstances is most unfair. It can easily grow into a habit that will get beyond your control and become a serious detriment to your happiness. And surely you must know that as the novelty of marriage wears off comradeship takes its place. You aren’t old enough to appreciate what a wonderful blessing true comradeship is. Marye dear, but I hope you will not remain blind to it as long as most people do. It comes about so naturally between married couples, and is so taken for granted that it is rarely appreciated at its real worth. It is sweet to have someone in whom you can confide with perfect trust, someone you can depend upon as a companion. There will be bleak moments in your marriage, I suppose, when the commonplace features of it disappoint you, but if you will weigh the happier side against the other you will stop sighing for past romances. I know you’ve never been lonely, that you didn’t need marriage to provide a companion. You were very fortunate in having a great many friends, but if you hadn’t married you would have found, as you grew older, that you lacked someone you could depend upon at practically all times. Friends have a way of failing us oftener than the one we arc married to. That is only natural as their lives are not bound up with ours. But sometimes this constant companionship becomes a bore to those who do not value it. I feel sorry for such persons, as they are missing far more than they know in failing to see that in most cases they would be incomplete if were separated from husband or wife. I know I wouldn’t trade the bond that exists between your father and myself for all the thrills any one can get from remembering old lovers. If you need that sort of thing to help you over the rough spots of marriage it is because you are overlooking the greatest privilege of being married. Don’t try to hang on to the glamor of the honeymoon, Marye, or let yourself be blinded by little offenses to your esthetic taste. There is something more solid to a happy marriage. Companionship. But some people never appreciate it. I hope you will not be one of them. Dearest love, MOM. 450 Attendance at Luncheon of Missionary Body Four hundred and fifty persons attended the luncheon of the northwestern branch Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Churches of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan today at the Broadway M. E. Church. Bishop George R. Grose, Fekin, China, was the principal speaker. Missionaries who spoke were Miss Estelle Forsyth, India, and Dr. Rebecca Parish. Manila. P. I. The Rev. J. W. McFall gave the noontide prayer. Card Party and Dance The Ladies Society of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers will give a euchre and 500 party and dance Saturday night at Odd Fellows’ Hall, Shelby and Pleasant Sts. Hanging Brooms Brooms that hang off the floor when not in use last much longer. Put a screw for this purpose in the end of the handle of each broom and brush. Spring Oiling Door locks, hinges and furniture castors should all be thoroughly oiled each spring to prevent rusting during the rainy season and to make them work easily. Cheese Spinach If your family Is tired of spinach, try baking cooked spinach in cream sauce, with grated cheese and bread crumbs over the top. Home-Made Duster To make a dustless dusters, moisten a soft cloth in paraffin and put it away for a few days in a covered tin can. Such a duster gathers in the dust without scattering it. Miss Evelyn Barnes is spending some time in New York.
