Child Bride Contradicts Advice to Delay Wedding;

Marriage Fails for Another

Jane Jordan Analyzes Both Letters and Reminds

That One Success Cannot Be Taken as Guarantee Early Love Will Endure.

Sometime ago a 33-year-old bachelor wrote saying he thought a 15-year-old girl made the best wife and advised a 21-year-old boy to

marry his 15-year-old sweetheart. the girls in their teens were wrecking the lives of men.

Another thing: “I will be

ANSWER—There is norule without its exceptions. The fact that you are happily married at 15 still does not change the fact that the average youthful marriage fails. Once in a while you find a 15-year-old girl (or boy) advanced enough to do college work, but it is so rare that she, or he, is news. In our society a 15-year-old girl who can make the job of marriage and motherhood work without feeling unhappily burdened, is news, too. It is not well for you to give advice to others based on your own experience which isn't very broad to say the least. Just to show you the other side of the picture I will publish a letter from another ‘teen-age wife, JANE JORDAN. n =» » EAR JANE JORDAN-—I wish to corect the statement of “Independent 25” in regard to the man getting the raw deal in a

marriage with a girl from 15 to 18. |

At the early age of 17 I married a man of 36 and when I was 18 my first child was born. Now I was saddled not only with a husband, but also a child. If my husband had been younger I feel that perhaps we would have gotten along, but he was set in his ways and ready to settle down while I was still of school age, had never had a fling at life and could not break away from old friends and go into seclusion, The result was one series of quarrels after another. My husband’s work kept him away from home and the baby and I had to stay home by ourselves. When he was home and able to take us somewhere we still had to stay home because he preferred that to going out. So I turned to mother for companionship as all child wives do. That is where pendent 25” gets the idea that we run home to mother. What else is there for us to do? At the age of 21 I have a daughter 9 months old. Two months ago I lost my other daughter when she drowned in an unguarded fish pond. I have had nothing from life but heartaches and hardships. Mother is no longer here for me to go to in my grief, for she passed away just this month. So, Independent, you can see from one who knows just who it is that has the toughest job in these child marriages. My advice to everyone, man or woman, is to stay single until they are at least 25. CHILD WIFE.

ANSWER—-Of course you started out with a handicap in choosing a husband twice your age. Never-

“Inde- |

theless your reaction is about the same as the average young girl who ties herself down before she is ready for the serious business of rearing a family. I wonder what our friend the 35-year-old bachelor has to say about your experience? Now that it is done you must make the best of it. Since your husband is away so much you will have to entertain yourself. You can get some reliable woman to stay with the baby while you go out with your girl friends and fill your afternoons with some form of diversion.

Solution to Previous Problem By WILLIAM E. M’KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary HE so-called fine plays in bridge such as the squeeze and the throw-in, often are considered the tools of the expert, not to be used by ordinary players.

from playing bridge. In today’s hand, the declarer could have taken a simple finesse for his game going trick—and as a result would have gone down one.

Dressing Up Daughters

Mothers Get Kick Out of It and Don’t Expect Gratitude.

"By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON This copycat spied an epigram today and instantly applied it to the lady she saw shopping recently with her daughter. Daughter was getting all rigged up in smart spring clothes, while mother was as shabby as an

old shoe. We'll see lots of that and hear plenty of neighborhood whispering what a shame it is that Mrs. Smith never gets a thing while her selfish daughter works her for the last nickel. Hark ye now. The maxim runs thus: “Going without what we | need to buy what we want cannot be {rated high among personal sacrifices.” When Mama wants to fix up her gal and wear the old coat Aunt Maria sent five years ago rather than ship it to the heathen, why in the world do we have to wag our tongues about it? And if Daughter Minerva turns right around and becomes ungrateful, which she likely will, I hope we can keep our mouths shut.

Mother Gets Kick Out of It

Isn't her mother getting the greatest kick on earth buying togs for this proud beauty of hers? If anyone says anything about it the

year after next, when Minerva spends most of her salary on herself it isn't likely to be her mother. If so, then I think she will have her tongue in her cheek when she asks for a lift with the milk bill, reminding Minny that turn about is fair play. As a matter of fact, I don’t believe we see as much of the little-black-shawl and purple-and-linen combination as we used to. Since mother has learned that cold cream, astringent and finger waves take her out of the old lady

| up herself as she used to by hang- | ing it all on daughter. She may i not go quite fifty-fifty but she | certainly will keep a little chunk | for herself.

Mothers Strike Sometimes

| Of course, mothers are not al- , ways the willing and benevolent | angels they are made out to be. | They do call a strike occasionally, | espacially when it become a day- | after-day business, this demand | for the ultra and the new. | But when the purse spews out ‘its contents for the new jumper, ski-suit, hat. boots or what not and | the Great Big Girl prances about in her new finery, doesn't mother’s neart skip several beats from pure , pride and joy? Was ever anyone in the world so lovely?

Gratitude Not Sought

But whether you volunteer the donations or have ‘em “drug” out |of you against your will, don’t expect too much gratitude, mother | dear. Of course some day Ruth or Ellen or Minerva may surprise all of us and turn the pay envelope upside down for the milk bill. Maybe they will wear the musty coats from Aunt Maria and lead you off to the store for a new Harris tweed and hat to match. Maybe one of them will say, “Yeu did it for me, mother. Now it is my turn

to sacrifice.” (Copyright, 1937. NEA Service. Inc.)

Baked Orange and Stewed Plums Tempt Lazy Appetite

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Staff Writer

A baked orange can be a cooling thought. And stewed red plums

Gy—

can chill a complaining appetite.

Orange Meringue (4 servings) Two oranges, raspberries and blueberries, 4 tablespoons sugar, ls teaspoon salt, 4 drops orange extract, 2 egg whites. Cut oranges in half and cut out centers. Mix orange meat with raspberries and blueberries and sweeten to taste. Fill orange basket with this mixture. Beat egg white with sugar, add salt and flavoring. Top each orange half with meringue. Bake in slow oven (325 degrees F.) for about 20 minutes. Chill before serving.

Compote of Plums (4 to 6 servings)

Two pounds red plums, sugar, 2 cup water. Combine sugar and water and cook to thick syrup. Wash plums, do not peel, but prick with pin. Add to sugar syrup and simmer gently until tender. Chill and serve in glass saucers. If you like foreign berry combinations—and they are usually interesting—try this Danish variation on the summer garden.

Rodgrod (4 to 6 servings) One quart fresh currants, 1 pint fresh raspberries, 1 cup sugar, % teaspoon salt, 3 tablespoons cornstarch. Wash berries carefully just before using. Place in saucepan with 2 cup

1 cup

water. Simmer gently until juices are drawn from fruit. Strain through fine cloth. Combine sugar and cornstarch. Slowly stir in the strained fruit juice. Simmer until it thickens and is clear and bubbly. Chill thoroughly before serving. A tempting cookie or two might go well with these fruit dishes.

Brown Crisps

Two eggs, 2 cup powdered sugar, 3, cup sifted flour, 3 teaspoon salt, 13 teaspoon cinnamon, 4 teaspoon cloves, 1 tablespoon grated orange rind, 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind, 13 cup chopped nuts. Beat egg white until stiff. Add sugar gradually, continuing to beat. Add beaten egg yolks, and then flour sifted with spices and salt. Add orange rind, lemon rind and nuts. Drop by teaspoons on greased cookie sheet. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) for about 10 minutes, until crisp and light brown.
