Heart and Beauty Problems By Mr. Elisabeth Thompson

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am In a hard position and don't know which way to turn.1' About a year ago I married and my husband and I continued to live with my mother because she is a ' widow and needs us with her. My brother is in the home, too.- but he is only seventeen and cannot contribute to mother's support. Last spring I bad the Influenza and since then have ' been in very noor

health. Because of this mother gets . breakfast for the boys. She does the ; smallest trick I have ever, heard of. She serves first class fruits and foods to my brother and seconds to my husband. Oleo is put on his butter plate while my brother has the best creamery butter. I have spoken to mother time and time again. It seems to me terriblelfiat my husband who pays for every bit of food we should be treated in such a manner. .Now my husband has announced ' that he will not live in mother's home any longer. He says we will get a . small apartment and he will get his own meals. He also says he will con- - tribute one-fourth toward mother's support. I have three married sisters and he says mother will have to live with one of them or they will have to help keep her where she is. ; - Mother's heart- is broken and she begs me not to leave her. She promises that she will not treat my husband so again. She has promised this before and has broken her word. What Bhall I do? DAUGHTER AND WIFE. Go with your husband. . He Is very

generous in his treatment of your mother. Iti seems to me. Most men if

they were treated . so meanly would not offer to contribute toward the support. Your mother will have to learn from

suffering that it was dishonorable to act in the' way she did. . Perhaps she doesn't realize because of her age. I believe that your health will improve when you are in a home or apartment of your own. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Which is really proper for girls from 18 to 22 years Just "Mary Smith" or "Miss Mary Smith?" If the former is permissable would It be all right to have it either

"Mary J. Smith" or "Mary Jane Smith"? . The first one is proper if you care for it, but I think the better form would be "Miss Mary Smith," "Miss Mary J. Smith," or "Miss Mary Jane Smith." I like the last one best.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Some time ago I wrote you asking if you knew of

a remedy for freckles, and I have

watched the papers ever since hoping to find the answer. Hope to find the

answer soon. FRECKLES.

I am afraid you did not read my

column closely, at least one evening,

for I answered your letter and that of another girl who also asked about freckles. Lemon Juice used occasion

ally has a tendency to bleach the skin.

Buttermilk is also good for the skin. But really it seems that freckles are

obstinate and sometimes almost impossible to get rid of. I have never known anybody who got entirely rid of them, although bleaching the skin

makes them lighter, I think.

ADDRESS YOUR MAIL RIGHTI

Things don t mean what they say, directory clerks at the postofflce have

discovered. Thursday 'a mail carrier

left the office with a letter addressed to Mrs. Jewel Catty. Thought on tho part of a directory clerk had uncovered

the act that the letter was meant for

Mrs. Julius Kotte.

I have been so occupied lately falling in and out of love, regaining my balance and hammering my work during every available moment, that I have not watched Jim closely, or perceived that he is struggling with his own problems. "You look tired out, Jim," I observed when he came home tonight. He made a sudden effort to look cheery and animated. It was a painful failure. "Oh, no, I'm not particularly tired," he answered. His manner puzzled me. "Jiml" I said,- firmly. "Tell mo more about your work at the office. You hate lt,don't you, dear? Hate working as an employe, I mean. It irks you. doesn't it?" He remained silent, cutting the leaves of a magazine in a preoccupied way. I put a finger beneath his chin and deliberately raised his face so that I could look into his eyes. "Why don't you be frank with me, Jimmle? Husbands and wives should

be pals. I'm willing to be a pal. But you always shut me out from your heart, somehow, and make me feel helpless when I so sincerely want to help, and really believe I could." "Oh, it's nothing, Ann," he replied awkwardly. (It's so hard for Jim to take anyone into his confidence, especially a woman.) "That sickness of mine took the pep out of me. I guess.

Maybe I've a fit of the blues. Everybody gets blue once in a while." This did not satisfy me. Looklng back, I realized that Jim has never

been himself since Charles Belton dis- j appeared with that money. The shock of it, as well as the actual loss of his ( capital, caused Jim to lose his grip, i

It weakened his confidence in himself. The sudden realization of this electrified me. Good men go down to failure every day through this jsing of their grip. Their ability is as keen as ever. It's their nerve that goes to pieces. The thing is psychological.

I studied Jim as ha sat there In ; the lamplight I tried to penetrate the Invisible wall which always seemed j between us. Tried to get to the true Jim, the man within that big shell of i

a body, and comprehend what was passing in his mind and soul. Sometimes this Jim Salsbury who has been my husband for more than a year seems a stranger. Something about him eludes me. I wonder it other wives ever have this odd sense of strangeness and inaccessibility? What causes it? How can it be broken down? "Jim, you old darling," I laughed, suddenly, grasping at anything to end the uncomfortable silence, "you act as if you had fallen in love with the

blonde stenographer or were contemplating a raid on the company's strong box!" To my amazement, Jim looked startled. He shot a quick glance at me, noted my guilelessness, and rose abruptly , with a short unmirtUful laugh. "We haven't any blonde stenogaphers," he said, rather superfluously, I thought "Don't be silly, Ann. Come on, let's have a cocktail before dinner." If I was puzzled before, I was twice as puzzled then. Without any reason whatever, the thought of Mrs Frlsbie shot into my mind. (To be continued.)
