DON’T Have Your Own Home If You Wed by MARTHA IFF In this day and age. when the luxuries of our parents have become our necerTies, and th#> salaries of those' rjst starting out in the business world have not increased sufficiently to meet the needs, the problems of ge’ting married has increased twofold. When our fathers and mothers married, the original cost of marriage meant being able to buy or rent a home, put in furniture, simple and inexpensive furniture at that ar.d being able to meet the butcher and baker ami candlestick maker's" bills weekly. None of this running to movies and taking week-end taunts and buying a radio and a car ate big holes in the pay check. They were content with visiting the neighbors, taking a walk and occasional!' haling in a group of their friends to pop corn or play flinch. Nn Br.clge Then Bridge was unheard of. Clubs were not for them. And so they lived in comparative ease on about half what the young fellows make today. But. as the older people are so fond of saying, times have changed. A vounc couple of today must na*e their fun. They must see at least a movie a week. And it is next to stagnation to be unable to take a little trip once in a while. A car has become almost a necessity. And so few people can play a music instrument any more, that life without a victrola or a radio is scarcely worth living. The wives go out more. That means more clothes. Due to clothes consciousness, men must be well dressed at work. More suits f r them. And so on down the list. It's Usually Fatal a,! a result, when these young people decide to marry, and the salary will not stretch to meet all the needs, the result is a decision to move in on one nr the others P a ‘" ents. which, in nine cases din of ten. is fatal. T DPiir Miss Lpp Here* my problem. I love * Kill devotedly, and of corns?. ** it a i,-ays is. I can't marry her. or at least “can't marry „r and e.ve her everything I want to pive her. I make a small salary and although my work has a goo future to look forward to. I can't progress much for perhaps another year. I have gone vith this girl three sea s, both steady and Otherwise. She loves me. too. end the more we see of each other, the our ;; fleet ion grow s, seems as though we simply were meant for each other and no one else. She and 1 both realized we were falling too deeply in love and we tried having other dates, but could not continue, because we simply did not enjoy ourselves with any one else. We are young She Is 18 and lam .2 She has been working for two years and makes a fair salarv. enough to keep herself. dresses nicely and has a few little luxuries she wants. Here's the proposition. She is willing to marry me and live with her parents fftid continue working for a year. By that time I will have advanced in my work and we have a little place of our own. Her folks seem very fond of me Would YOU advise me to go ahead and marry her. or ask her to wait another year? I know It. isn't fair to ask her to wait We believe we can make things meet somehow and be very happy. What would you do in a ease like this'’ UNDECIDED. My dear, such bravery! You are both so young to take a step like this without even the necessary security. I'm sure her parents arc lovely people and fond of you and all that, but would it be quite fair, either to them or to yourselves, to start out that way? Imposition on Them You see. even though you paid toward expenses, there would be that feeling of imposition. And it is so much better to start out by yourselves. Adjusting your dispositions and characteristics, one to suit the other, is difficult enough if you have'nt an audience. But it really is foolish for you to take the chance of dissension and quarreling that might result <and does so often) from living with the older folks. Wait a year. It will pass so quickly. Perhaps by that time you will be able to provide your sweetheart '■With a little place of her own. And so matter how small, that is every girl's right when she marries. You should give yourselves every break In the matrimonial struggle to find happiness Recent Bride Is Given Shozcer at Bozeman s Home . Mrs. Kepler S.

11 oman's Day
BY AI.LENE SUMNER IT'S a safe wager that more people will be interested in the tale of two little children who fell out of seventh and fifth story apartment house windows in New York the other day and will live, than in any other items in the day's news. The majority of adults are parents. The majority of parents have the normal instinctive concern for their children. Also the instinctive fears. Hope given anv of these fears to the effect that little children can sass that far and still live means much. Ma Wouldn't Do It The father of eight children, an Ohio farmer, was missing from his home for several days. If it were the mother of eight, no one would ever dream of interpreting her absence as perhaps a final putting into execution of the long simmer-

Deserting mothers are a rarity. nan Mammas Exploited Here we have a picture of Paul Whiteman, jarzz king, attired in chef's apron, handing his mother a sample of raw biscuit dough from the pan of mixture he has made in her kitchen of his old home where he is visiting. It reminds us of demands put upon the mothers of illustrious sons these days. How they are exploited for those prevailing “human interest pics.” Still, to be the mother of an illustrious son makes one immune from pity, it's the one thing for which most women live.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Further Cut Is Needed in Altar Vow BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON j Women have succeeded in taking | the word "obey” out of the marriage j ceremony. There was an upheaval when that was done and fiery were ! the arguments pro and con. It looks now as if we might eliminate some other phrases. “Or worse,” : for instance, and just have the minister say, “I. Dorothy, take thee, John, for better, so long as we both shall live." For that's about what our marriage amounts to. these fine days. It's no more wrong to swear to obey a man and not do it than it is to say you’ll take him for worse when you have no intention of doing so. Modern marriage is not so much a compact between two tolerant and loving human beings who want to establish a heme and have children, i as it is a stepping stone to the easy life* A girl marries because she wishes a husband and a home with some new furniture and a place in a certain swagger social set. Then He’s Discarded If the times comes when her hus- | band can’t give her these things, j she thinks nothing of discarding • him for one who can. Men marry for various reasons, notably, they say, to have some beI ing to love them, a mistress for their homes, a mother for their children, !or just a pal for their playtime. But let the wife become a little old and sick and battered by the years, and the men don’t always keep her for worse. No, indeed; it’s smart now to traipse off and find a young- ! er and prettier dame and ditch the ; worn-out lady of early love. Marriage has been relieved of | most of its religious significance. | This may be a reasonable attitude ; to take, but it has given marriage j itself and human happiness, too, I believe, some sad jolts. Marriage no longer is a sacrament. It has become a slaughter. They Whine Terribly And the women Whine, oh, how they whine, when they can’t have things as their fancy had painted for the future. There is a certain type that regards husbands merely as providers, and they want them to be darned good providers, too. On the other hand, an Increasing | number of men, battened upon the ; independence of women, are content : to allow their wives to support them. ! Indeed, if we are as frank and hon- | est and modern as we pretend, we may as well ditch the old religious | ceremony altogether, because it seems we have no intention of j sticking “for better or worse,” nor of staying together “until death do J us part.”
