Heart and Beauty Problems B7 Mrs. EllxabSth Thompson

Dear Un Thompson: 1 find many asking you the tamo questions about heartaches, lore affair and falling In love "Willi other man and women, whan they already hare someone whom they should love and honor. The greatest blessing that Odd can bestow on any married couple la children. They alone should be enough to keep happt ness in the home. Among an the unions ot mankind marriage Is Intended by God to be the most perfect. Marriage Is not a mere contract between individuals dependent on the whims and fancies of those who. make it. not a contract which the state can ratify or annul, but a covenant that is sealed by God.

I am not married and am past thirtyfive. Am I happy? Yes. to a certain extent As I am sitting alone la my room this Sunday night I am begin sing to realise what I am missing. I .am picturing to myself a happy home, eorae one to love And my children frolicking about me. - Oh, my. am I happy? Ton who hat husbands and

children, why are you not happy?

No one seme to love me. Therefore I can never be happy and must be content with myself until - the good Lord wills otherwise. lost uom

you have said is very true indeed. Dp . ty.

not think, however, that you cannot be happy. Happiness comes from helping others and showing them how to be happy. Why don't you do something for little children? If you write to any of the women's magazines they can suggest various ways in which you oan be of great service. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl sixteen years old and kep company with a boy of eighteen. I like the boy all right, but not his name. e is a German Lutheran while I am a little Irish glrL Should his name make any difference with my going with him? I stay home from places of amusement to respect him, but he does not do that for me. Should I go places and have a good time without him? BLUB BYES. It would he sljly to let the name stand between you If you really like the boy. His character and personulltv are what count. C

At the age of sixteen you should not have a "sweetheart" There Is safety In numbers and if you go with boys at all, you should have different friends.

It Is a test of character Indeed when a wife has to deal directly with some : pman who plays, or has played, a : part in her husband's life. The husband's interest in the "other woman" may have died. The Interest Itself may never have been serious. Yet despite everything, it's. an unpleasant business" this being confronted with shadows. It gets on the nerves. It upsets the equilibrium. It exasperatsa. This is how X feel about that Fanny

Frlsble episode yesterday. Poor thing, X pity her from my heart, drag fiend and drifter as she Is. And I know Jim cares nothing about her save as a woman who was once the wife Of his friend. It annoys me to think I think about It! I am mad at myself because I feel a sense of resentment against Fanny and against Jim and against the encroachment slight as it was, upon territory that Is mine alone. Am I different from other women. I wonder. And more unreasonable? How do other wives feel about such things? But ot course one cannot generalise. There are wives who know their husbands not only have had amours by the score in the past but have plenty of present ones going on merrily all the time; yet they resolutely shut their eyes and, like, the ostrich with its head in the sand, feel safe because they do not see the danger. '

Such wives often get credit for be

ing noble and wise. I call them weak or selfish. They are afraid to look facts fairly In the face. They would avoid knowledge because Of the pen- - alty it carries. . They are willing to

be one of a harem, so long as they do not come in contact with the other inmates. They either have no selfrespect or consider self-respect a matter of how much other people see. So long as they can masquerade as successful wivesythey are satisfied to compromise with their own souls. On the other hand, there is . the wife who goes so far to the other extreme that she can face proof of

her husband's unfaithfulness, like ai

case I read of in the newspapers. This woman, childless herself, ac

tually took into her own home a girt)

-her husband bad thrust motherhood upon, adopting their baby, the wife's love acting upon the whole situation like a purifying flame. "It was my husband's confession that brought me the first news of the existence of the girl and the coming of the baby," said this wonderful wife. "My first thought was to leave my husband, but suddenly the bitterness went out of my heart. Because lie loved me enough to tell me the

truth X found I loved him enough to forgive his mistake." Ah. what a fine-hearted woman spoke these simple wordsl Gnat enough to humble her pride. Wise enough to understand the polygamous Instincts of man. Above jealousy. Willing to set aside her own rights long enough to sympathise with the

love weakness ox anotner woman. Greater love hath no woman than this To lay down her rights for another.

Not with the complacency of the selfish coward, but with the nobility of a wise, kind heart Could I do it? X, who felt resentful toward Jim over poor Fanny Frlsble? I, who have my full quota of picayune jealousies and tempers? But I know the story of this forgiving wife is an inspiration to me. It teaches me a prayer: "Keep me from pettiness; let me be great enough to love forgivingly." (To be continued.)
