Being Noble Is All Right in Its Place BY MARTHA LEE A life of devotion and service is one of the most beautiful in the ■world, but it does have its drawbacks. When those to whom that life has been devoted leave, there you are, hanging on the end of a bough. No person, for his own sake, should devote all his life, all his thoughts, all his time to one individual. To keep as happy as this world allows, it is necessary to have outside interests. A wife whose whole heart lies in her home and children is a happy sight, but it doesn’t help to hold her husband if he, on the other hand, likes some pleasure, some recreation, outside the walls of his home. A man wants his wife to be interesting, to feel vitally concerning the things that interest him. He wants her to be able to converse intelligently about something besides what Johnny did while she was stirring up the gingerbread and what Jane said when Mrs. Smith came to call. Have Some Interests Even more essential it is for an unmarried woman to fill her life with interests so that she will not become sour and ingrown, because she does not even have the advantages of a little Johnny and a baby i Jane. Many women who have not married have so acted to care for | their parents. Noble, to say the l least. Hut a woman who has a choice and who decides to -devote her life to her parents is doubly duty bound to keep interests that will be sufficient to fill her life after her parents are gone. It is the sacred duty of everyone to retain the finer characteristics and understanding that an unembittered life can bring. And when one finds oneself growing bitter and cynical, it is time to shake one’s mental teeth till they chatter. Dear Miss Lee—When I was a young girl my parents, who were then well up in years, had financial reverses. I went to work. I was quite attractive looking and was not without chances for marriage, but I could see no way but to stay single and continue to help my parents. None of my affairs of the heart became serious enough for the question of whetfter the man would be willing to take them with us, to arise. But I felt it my duty always to look after them. Now they are gone. X am well on the way to 50 with a good bank account and a good profession. But I suddenly am completely lost. I have few friends and no outside interests, as I devoted all my spare time to mby parents. I am afraid of people, because they all seem so intensely interested in so-many dia'erent things, about all of which I know nothing. I feel as though I were becoming a monomaniac from such loneliness. What can I do? LONELY. Get a leave of absence. Take your bank account and go on a nice trip. You need a change of environment, change of air and change of mind. Go Away on Long Trip Get away from everything that you have grown accustomed to. There is nothing for loneliness like a good long trip on the train to new scenes. Your chose your path, to walk with your parents. Now you owe it to yourself to make it a pleasant and agreeable one. Perhaps you have allowed yourself to grow so sour that you no longer are a happy companion. Stop standing in the doorway, watching life go by. Get out and mingle with the throng.

‘Any day but that!” It’s exasperating when men don’t understand—and embarassing when they do. Women who have learned of Midol don't have painful periods. Midol is not a narcotic. It acts only on the organs affected. Perfectly safe, but swift; it brings complete comfort in five to seven minutes! No matter how hard a time you'”® always had, Midol will dispel every particle of pain. It is onlj common sense to use it, for it does nothing to hinder the normal, natural process of nature; but makes it painless. Got Midol in the trim little case of aluminum, for purse or pocket; cents, at any drug store.—Advertisement

Think Thrice Before Yon Get Divorce BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON A woman, the mother of two children, who believes her husband no longer loves her, wants advice. “I have a darling little home and two babies, but my husband grows colder to rae each day. In fact, he admited almost that he doesn’t care for me any more. I still love him and although I feel sure I could go out and earn my living, I am fond of my house and hate to give it up. Would you divorce him?” I would not. We are peculiar creatures when it comes to solving our marriage problems. We expect to meet gigantic obstacles in our j business life and we will struggle to overcome the most violent opposition to our careers. But we give up at the very first hint of trouble in our most important work, the building of a happy marriage. Foolish to Give Up The woman who has a home and children and a secure place in her small world is very foclish to relinquish them voluntarily, merely because her husband has grown cold to her. Leave him alone and he’ll probably warm up again. Some men also, are temperamental. And one thing wives ought to learn is that th§re are many other interesting and worth-while things in this world besides husbands. If we could merely assume this, we all might be infinitely happier. A home one loves, two babies to care for, and one’s small circle of friends are not to be sneezed at when it comes to erecting a permanent foundation for happiness. But let us suppose for the sake of argument that the woman did divorce her husband. What would she have instead? Her pride, you say. Yes, but that might become rather a bedraggled thing after a while. Would Face Hard Task She would be obliged to get out and tackle a job in a world where competition is daily growing more strenuous. She would have to turn over her home to some other woman to keep. It’s a strange thing that we do not teach our children that to make a success of marriage one must cultivate patience and forethought. Instead we lead them into believing that matrimony is the goal where perpetual happiness rests. Is it any wonder, then, that at the very first trial one or the other of them will make a bee-line to the divorce court? And often this is the saddest of all errors. Think twice before you get married, girls, but think hard three times before you get a divorce. Bride-Elect Honored Mr. and Mrs. George L. Wade, assisted by their daughter, Miss Mary Ann Wade, entertained Sunday night with a party at their home, 43 North Sherman drive, in honor of Miss Margaret Ryan, whose marriage to Virgil Prather will take place in Denver April 1. Card Party Planned Members of Center Council No. 1836, Security Benefit Association, will entertain with a bunco and euchre party at 8:30 Thursday night at lie 1 !- East Maryland street, fourth floor.
