She Married an Average Man

BY ZOE BECKLEY

Either spring or some demon has got me In; its clutches. Yet spring is called "gentle," for all Its levers and discontents, its restless yearnings and fiery rebellions. 1 don't know what Is the matter with me except that I cannot endure the idea of going away to that horrible hole of a Hammonds Corners. Something inside me seems to have blown up. My spirit has gotten beyond my control. For days I have been lighting this. Today I finished by last work for the "Messenger" and took ' it "down myself to Randy Lynch, the editor. As I explained to him that Jim and 1 were leaving New York I would be too far away to conduct the "Correspondence Corner," the wickedness that has been seething in my blood seemed to rise to my very brain and scorch it. j Lynch said he was "sorry to lose -the most intelligent woman on his . ; staff," and this added fuel to the i flames. I found myself in the street 'pelting along for dear life, bumping J into people, avoiding vehicles and j horses' hoofs by a miracle. I walked and walked, miles, I think, j In my brain the words kept revolving, won't go; I won't bury myself in ; that tomb of a hamlet; I'd rather kill I myself. No no; you must go; you've 1 promised to go; you must consider Jim; Jim's your husband. I won't go; IX don't care, I, won't, I won't " And mo it went on, like two voices quarreling inside my bursting head. ; I have read somewhere the theory that we are all, at times, a little crazy especially women. And that some of tis have "dual personalties." Well I certainly must have. My1 good person'ality bids me be a virtuous, model ! wife, give up my own wishes, my beoved work, and accompany my husand to the place his success is asjSured. The suddenly awakened demon ' ,ln me screams: "Don't go; be free; be t

yourseh; you cau i ntip joui uatu.e; be as wicked as you like for ONCE!

Jim won't care. Hell go calmly on ! without you. Work is bis LIFE; you are only his WIFE." And that's true. Jim is so entirely, so absorbedly. so complacently satisfied with himself and his prospects! Life, action, contact with new people and vivid experiences mean nothing to him. He could get along almost as well without me. He haB even said he intends to be at the plant fourteen hours a day. Athena says I won't mind it if I get interested in my house, my garden and my work. House garden what is a God-forsaken country shack and a messy garden to me! And where shall I get any inspiration or work? How can one write human things If one is shut away from life? I hear Jim's step he's coming home. I feel hysteria gripping me I don't want to see Jim; I don't want Later. Midnight. If anything was needed to complete my demoralization it would be what has happened Jim's anger. I feel cold and numb as I recall his words and his face as he said them: "I am sick and tired of your moods and your temperamental outbreaks, your hysterics and your selfishness yes, your selfishness. I have overlooked a lot, telling myself you were not at heart a selfish woman. I deBpise the trait of selfishness. I have vowed if I ever saw it proved in you I'd be through. Well, now I do see it. And I am utterly disgusted. And I am through. That's my last word." Through! Does he mean that, I wonder? What has my fit of the demons brought upon us? God grant that this madness will pass with the night and that we will both be ourselves again tomorrow. (To be continued.)

I am treated as a slave. My husband has not bought me a thins to

wear in six years. He often comes in drunk and curses me and the children and, he never goes anywhere i with. me.-. The only pleasure I get

out of life is my children. Girls, listen to one who knows. If you ever find a man whom you know really loves you, regardless of how rough he used - to be, take him for what be is today. Don't let anyone choose for you. Now I see my mis

takes, but for my children's sake I

wm Dear tne toil ana endure tne pain. LONESOME WIFE You certainly shave the right attitude about making the beet of your life for the sake of your children. We have to work out our problems no matter how difficult they may be. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young woman . twenty-six. I " have auburn hair and blue eyes and am considered handsome. I married a man I dearly loved. He was good looking and intelligent. I lived with him seven years and we had no children. Another woman came between us. and I left him He married a woman by request with three children. He did not like her in the first place and lived with her only a short time and was di

vorced. It was his intention to

marry a third woman if she consented. I have always bad a feejlng for him and wouldn't allow myself to think of anyone else. He has asked me to

come back to him, but I am afraid he likes the other woman as well as he

does me.

Please advise me what to do. BLUE EYES It seems to me that it would be a mistake to marry the man again. Until he shows more clearly that you are the only woman he wants and that he has settled down into a more steadfast way of living, you should not marry him because he would only bring you unhappiness.

Svift & Company s 1919 Earm

How They Affected You

During the twelve months ended November 1, 1919, (its fiscal year), Swift & Company transacted its large volume of business on the smallest margin of profit in its history.

Sales over $1,200,000,000.00 Net earnings $13,870,181.34 a

Our shipments were in excess of 5,500,000,000 lbs. This means that our earnings were less than lV6 cents on each dollar of sales, or a quarter of a cent on each pound shipped. Consumer The average consumer eats about lz lb. of meat per day 180 lbs. per year. If he purchased only Swift & Company products he would have contributed only 45 cents (180 lbs. l4 cent a pound) a year profit to Swift & Company for its investment and service, less than one cent per week. Our earnings were so small as to have practically no effect on the family meat bill. Live Stock Raiser Swift & Company handled in 1919 over 16,000,000 head of live stock. You can figure for yourself that our earnings of lVs cents on each dollar of sales are too small to affect the price you received for your stock. We paid all it was humanly possible to pay considering what the meat and by-products could be sold for.
