More About Cheaters in Matrimony BY MARTHA LEE The onslaught continues. Letters Still pour into the office, in which men and women, and probably children, too, state their ideas on this problem of two-timing husbands and wives. If I thought it was a popular subject, I at least had no conception of how many and varied the opinions on the subject might be. As far as I have been able to figure out, everyone has a very definite idea as to how to accept a condition of that kind, the causes and results and effects and oh, just an infinite number of things. Maybe It's a Man Among the best letters I have gotten, for argumentative prospects is the letter printed below. Here is a man or woman (I believe it is from a man) with what is commonly termed advanced ideas on the subject. My Dear Miss Lee: Folks in general ceitainly seem to be sitting up and taking notice these days of the trifling wives and husbands. In iny estimation those conditions are not any worse today than they were fifty years ago. only the younger generation It not ouite so behind the bush •bout it. as were their predecessors. I notice there are still a few women old i enough to trv to put out this Plutonic love noise. It doesn t exist. If a married woman keeps company for any length of time with a man you may rest assured their relations are not merely Diatonic. If so. why have such friendship at all? Why not remain casual acquaintances? I can excuse two persons who admit they are "in love" ancf make no attempt to conceal that love or cover over their conduct as platonic interest in each other. They deserve credit instead of criticism. Love is love and is not to be denied, once acknowledged. Suppose a man and woman are securely ‘'shackled" to other partners, if they actually realize they love each other, does the fact that they are wedded in the eyes of the law. interfere with the purity of their love for each other? Absolutely not. Eliminating the more common class, it is safe to assert that the persons who are guilty of adultery today are those who Jive together as man and wife. are. in fact, man and wife legally, but who practically despise one another. That is adultery. / In my profession (I am a doctor), I see couples commonly called ‘'triflers" living for and helping each other in every possible way. I see mothers holding a home together for the sake of their young children. because they have the friendship and love of a man to lean upon, many times not their husbands. Were it not for that friendship, which I know to be secret, homes would be broken, children separated and in an orphanage and there would be more divorce on the court records. I can mention another specific case where a young man has a tyrant of a wife and a good sensible modern girl for a sweetheart. They entertain no thoughts of marriage, in fairness to his wife and child, but they have proved thefr love for each other and because of it, they are strong enough to continue, being ‘'dutiful” to their partners, even though they almost hate them. I know of any number of such cases, where through such love real good is accomplished. They should be allowed to do as they please, without being talked about. I do hot say that platonic love is altogether impossible, but I do say it is highly improbable. I do not advocate free love, but when I see such love untarnished by quarrels and selfishness I admire it for its perfection, as I would admire the body of a healthy child. Such love is good to look upon because it arises from desire, not compulsion. Who are these marriage laws intended to please besides ‘'society?" There’s one thing that it would not hurt a great many social censors to remember, and that is ‘‘Thou shalt not Judge.” DR. M. A. D. Well, my dear doctor, you have stated your opinions on the subject without fencing at least. But you contradict yourself. I do not see, from your viewpoint on what constitutes present day adultery, how you have eliminated it by having the man who hates his wife continue to live with her and at the same time take another sweetheart. There are just two cases instead of one, that’s ail. Nothing has been solved and nothing has been eliminated. As far as this perfect love you speak of, are not the quarrels and hardships caused by the everyday things that husbands and wives must face? The sweetheart has an edge. She does not have to let her lover see her in s bad mood after she has spent the day wiping the noses of four little boys with bad colds and picking up the man’s dirty clothes and darning his socks and cooking b jiled cabbage because he likes it and baking pies. She sees him only a few hours a day, and those hours she may prepare for all day long, having none of these annoying trivialities to worry about. Living for Others Besides, the home is the foundation of civilization (if that is what we have) and no civilized people live for themselves alone. They live for each other. It seems, to me all the unhappiness in the world is brought about by people who live only to gratify their own desires. If a man married a woman, he loved her for something, some quality that is still there, if he would only look for it. And if he can’t find it, why not be sporting about a mistake? Why make everyone miserable because he made a mistake? Your argument is well stated, but it doesn’t change my mind about things.

Family Menus

BY SISTER hIARY BREAKFAST Blackberries, cereal, cream, frizzled dried beef, rye meal muffins, milk, coffee. LUNCHEON—Minced lamb on toast, corn on the cob, hearts of letture, iced cocoa. DlNNEß—Vegetable plate dinner, molded egg salad, watermelon sherbet, angel food cake, milk, coffee. Both iced tea and coffee are at their best when poured hot over cracked ice and served at once. Os course both the beverages must be made double strength since the melting of the ice dilutes the infusion. Watermelon Sherbet Four cups chopped v itcrmelon, one cup sugar, whites two eggs. Sprinkle sugar through melon while chopping. If a wooden chopping bowl is not at hand cut in very small pieces with a sharp knife. Use juice and pulp. Turn into freezer and pack in six parts of ice to one part of salt. Let stand until frozen to a “mush,” stirring frequently to equally distribute liquid and pulp. Stir in whites of eggs beaten' until stiff and dry and let stand two hours longer. Serve in chilled glasses. This is an unusually pretty ice and delightfully refreshing to the taste.

Woman s Day

BY ALLENE SUMMER “When women could buy two pounds of dried navy beans, a few slices of bacoft, a tomato or a bottle of catsup, an onion and a spoon of molasses, and make a pan of heavenly delicious baked beans for a song, there was no woman problem. It’s every woman’s realization these modern days that she can buy a can of beans better cooked and at a lower cost than she make them herself which is making all this todo.” y I picked the above paragraph from a letter in my morning mail. The letter is a comment on my recent article about the grocerelte or nickelocery, a place where five and ten-cent cans and dabs of everything can be purchased for the one who lives and eats alone. a a a The letter follows: “The nickelocery may be, as you say, a boon to the business or professional woman who is just domestic enough to want a meal in her own home occasionally, but who is not domestic enough to insist on much elaborate cooking after a day downtown. “But does it ever occur to you just what all these things mean to us housewives of an older generation who, because of the ever increasing tendency of the commercial world to clutch first one job and then another from us, find ourselves about as necessary as an old-fashioned surrey? n a tt “Until the last five years I felt that I had a sphere of usefulness and was an economic asset by baking my own bread, making my own pies and cakes, canning fruit, making preserves and jams and jellies, baking up a pan of beans, making a kettle of doughnuts, fixing some tasty dessert, and so oh. “But what has happened? Our husbands and children are buying their lunches outside the home. Instead of appreciating heme cooking all the more because of the contrast, they are inclined to despise it. Wholesale buying makes it possible for the restaurant to give them at low cost such luxuries as cavair, sweetbreads, mushrooms, anchovies and desserts which we could never in our most ingenious moments duplicate. “Aside from that, wholesale manufacture,makes it much cheaper to buy already . prepared things. We may make our pies and cakes and preserves and doughnuts and salads and beans and have only the consciousness that they are neither so cheap nor so good as ‘the boughten’ kind. Are we to continue making our inane gestures just to have something to do, or does society still have some use for us?” For White Hair A turban that is extremely lovely for a whit-haired woman is composed of black velvet and silver ribbon, the ribbon making a large bow on the left side. Cleaning Patent Leather Remove mud from patent leather while it is still wet. If you leave it until it is dry you are apt to scratch the leather when you remove the mud. Fierek-Wright Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Fierek, 1011 N. Rural St., announce the engagement of their daughter, Mary Jane, to Norman Wright, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Wright, 905 Olney St. The wedding will take place in September.

Plans for the State institute of government were discussed at a committee meeting of the Indiana League of Women Voters this week. Members of the committee are: Mrs. Walter S. Greenough, Indianapolis, State president; Mrs. T. J. Loyden, Bloomington, first vice president; Miss Adah E. Bush, Indianapolis, secretary; Miss Sara Lauter, first vice president of the Indianapolis league, and Mrs. George C. Finfrock, Indianapolis.

Harris of the University of Wisconsin will speak at a luncheon meeting on “A Permanent Registration Law for Indiana.” The legislative program of the Indiana League will be explained by menvbers of the State board of directors. Communications from candidates for the General Assembly received in answer to questions asked by the Indiana league indicate most of them are seriously thinking about a new registration law for Indiana and for the most part are in accord with the type of law which the league expects to propose, one that will provide for permanent registration with adequate means for canvassing the lists, signature of the voter to insure the maximum degree of efficiency in preventing fraud, with all year registration at a central place, in charge of a single official. It is expected that many candidates will hear Prof. Harris speak. Announces Wedding Date Announcement is made of the engagement and approaching marriage of Miss Ruth Keys, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T.

Teach Value of Good Finish

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Half of the failures of this world are due to bad finishing. Persons are fine beginners as a rule, but to finish, it takes character, work, dogged perseverance and ability to survive hard knocks and discouragement. Well begun is half done? Don't you believe it. For every dozen persons that start things only one or two are likely to finish. “No one but Mr. Jones could have done such and such a thing. He has so much executive ability.” What is executive ability? Analyzed, it consists of a great many things. One of the chief ingredients, however, is the stick-to-it-iveness that sees things through to a finish. That is what gets results. These successes that make men rich and women famous. What about them? When did they begin to accomplish things? At 15? At 20? 25? No. When they were little. If their mothers gave them tasks to do, either by compulsion or an innate quality of self that kept them at it, they Jlnished them. Not perfectly perhaps, but they saw the thing through to some sort of an end. Suppose a little girl is dressing a doll. Her mother has given her a needle and thread and some patches and cut out a simple pattern for her. She puts a few laborious stitches in one seam and then, tired of it, and not seeing any immediate end in sight, abandons the shapeless, discouraging mess and goes off to play at something else. What her mother should do is to call her back, or put her at it again the next day (perhaps that is better), and show her how she must patiently sew up one seam at a time, until the dress is finished. Write it in large letters. What a great thing is gained. She will see that dresses are not made by magic. That it takes work and patience and effort to produce even a doll dress. But greater still is the confidence in herself. She has achieved something. She wants to start something else at once. There is no pride equal to that of something done. If done well, all the better. Boys should be taught the art of finishing if they to make good business men. Make them carry every task, no matter how awkward or small, to a finish. It should be started very early. I should say at 4 or 5 years of age.
