Husband Is Penalized for Wrongs BY MARTHA LEE The woman who can ijympathize with problems, and cheerfully Dear her own, thankful that they are no worse than they are, is to be admired and congratulated. It Js easy to moan over our own difficulties but it is no little thing to make light of them. "Three 'rimes a Wife” has written, suggesting that her story might help ethers who have similar problems to face. Her letter Is as follows: near Martha Lee—Your advice, as given In The Times hom day to day. Is mighty good reading. I look forward each day to that part of my evening paper. Many of the questions are trivia! affairs, but of course they are big to the Individual. You always give reasonable and thorough answers. I have no problem of toy own. that I am writing you. but after reading the letter from "Unhappy Woman” In a recent edition. I couldn't refrain from writing to tell you of something that has come into my life. If she could read my letter It might help her to bear her burden. Married Three Times I have been married three times: from the first, a man my own age. I am divorced; the second, a man twenty years older, died after nine years of great happiness; I now am living with the third one. and It Is of him and his past I want to tell you. He Is almost twice as old as I. and we *,>' the best of pals, although he Is In poor health, due to an accident. He was married the first time when welt over 35. His wife—Hose, we will call her was the sweetest, most lovable sort. I never knew her. but every one tells me this. They lived together twenty odd years. He was good to her In most wavs, yet at that time he was the type of man that could not meet up with a woman without trying to have an affair with her, and he usually could finish what he gtarted. Os course. Rose learned of these affaire. He tells me she never was cross with him. but there came a time when she con'd stand It no longer, she left, and ever 'uallv divorced him. He sorry when It was too late, but soon married the "Jane” who caused the separation. Has No Children He had no children by the first wife, nor has he ever had a child by any mar- j riage. This second marriage was one quarrel i and separation after another, and after about six yers of it he divorced the “jane.” He always had been sorry for the way he had treated Bose, but when friends had tried to tell him. he would tell them to tr.lnd their own business. Some five or six years after his second divorce, we were married. The next year he received word of Rose's death from her family. I could sec he was touched greatly by It. and told him to go to them. He went, and on his return, told me all the particulars of her death, which were Very sad. When he told me of her suffering, he tried like a baby, and I ched. too. He j felt that she had suffered so through him that It was unfair for her to have suffered more, and he should have been the one to bear it. Now that he Is in poor health, and suffers constant pain, hoggets blue and "con-•elence-strlcken.” He thinks he is getting ,
K lt'llVC'oU ‘*“**** o paid for the suffering he has caused Others and to me he Is most pitiful. He has told me every had thing he has done In his life. We talk things over together, and it relieves his mind. Let me say he is kindness itself to me. and we love each Other sincerely. His second wife, whom I had never known, called to see him recently, and X was glad to see her, although I doubt that If she dreamed he had told me all the details of their life together she would have held her head so high. And now. in closing, I want to say to "tTr.happy Woman.” if she can stand to Itav with her husband and keep her thildren and home together, maybe her Husband finally will come to his senses, realize her great worth, and see that this kther “Jane” that has come into his life U only after the good times he shows her knd the money he spends on her. and he p'M come back to his home, wife and Ihillren before it is too late, and he belonies a conscience-stricken old man. I have been thinking X would write my life's experience for a magazine, as this | have told here is only a small part. If ■ ever do and it is published, I will write Sou again so you can get a copy.

Men Blamed for Women s Humor Lack BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON A man writes to say that women take themselves too seriously and that we have no sense of humor. Well, believe it or not, there’s a reason. We take ourselves seriously because the men have taken us that -way for such a long, long time. We never have learned to laugh at ourselves. How could we, W’ith the other sex on our hands? From the year 1620 to this good hour, we have heard ourselves admonished and berated. The men have stressed the fact that upon us rests the welfare of the country. Unless we conduct ourselves becomingly, unless we are all that is fine and pure and good, w T e will bring the younger generation down to hell. They point out that we are the creators of the home, our nation’s most important institution. They cry that we are the mothers of the race, the inspiration of men and the safeguard of little children. They want us to be home-makers, devoted wives, excellent mothers and to give a lift on the side to the political band wagon when they have managed to get it mired down. If they yell, the mothers become careless and neglectful, what then is to happen to the world? Now, I ask you, could we be any-

thing but serious-minded with all that hanging over our heads? On the other hand, the men have had something to leaugh at all these centuries. They have managed to slide out from under most of these monstrous burdens. Era after era, with remarkable agility, they have side-stepped such drastic responsibilities for themselves. Being male, they claim, how could they be expected to behave better than they do? Hence their sense of humor flourishes and grows. They reverence our goodness, of course. Oh, how they reverence it! They simply dote upon it, in fact. It’s so much easier to reverence somebody good than to be good yourself. Perhaps their most splendid joke, and the one that constantly tickles their sense of levity, is the way in which they always have managed to make us the keepers of home and nublic moral#.

Have a board made to cover the top of the radiator and put cleats under it to hold secure. Paint the same color as your woodwork. Sometimes cottage houses can have little cretonne flounces down from the board to make a really attractive table effect. Floral Centerpiece You „n have a lovely oval centerpiece for your table if you plant colored foliage plants. Keep the centers nipped out and they will grow in oval shape, most attractive.
