successful future through a happy marriage.
 There is type of girl-much as 1t shames every womanly instinct in me to have to ad- mit-that deliberately sets out to capture the heart of her employer She cares nothing about the sanctity of the home which she makes her vicious onslaught. But this type is few and far between. Fortunately there is a Coda just God-and on the home wrecker he lays heavy hand Watch her career In a few years she changes from the gay, debonair woman into a broken wreck, haunted every minute with the miserable re- morse that only the home wrecker knows
 But even in such cases the man is to blame. Is man not supposed to be the stronger sex? If he exerted even little of his moral strength with the picture of a trusting, loving wife watching and waiting eagerly for his home coming, would he take the first step that leads to home destruction? No, he walks into it deliberately, with heart and eyes blind to his wife's devotion.
 Some people contend that love is largely matter of propinquity. If there be anything in this it would behoove the wife to be ever on the alert with sweet, becoming attire and kindly affection to offset the charms of her husbands fair employe
 If the husband leaves nagging, quarrelng, slovenly wife in the morning, carrying with him the picture of curl papers, untidy kimono, and half laced shoes she will suffer sadly by contrast when he arrives at the office to be oraeted hv smiling. trip and natty s1ersOu.
 Ofttimes this contrast forms the first wean- ing away from the one whom he promised to love and honor all his life.

IF only the husbands of the women who
 write me such heartbroken, pitiful letters l about their husbands mad infatuation for
 some fair employe could the sorrow these letters reveal, I am sure they would be appalled, by the heart ravages their bitter neglect causes.
 What shame it is that dear sweet, loving women--in many cases noble, self sacrificing mothers-are .cheated out of the affection rightfully due them by some brainless, giddy girl or some worldly adventures. And this with the sanction of the one in whom the wife has put her hope and trustl
 Do such men forget the vows they made before the altar when the now-neglected wife stood arrayed in shimmering satin and bridely loveliness? Didn't he then promise to love her and to honor her? Where has this love and honor gone? Where has the mans sense of fairness or even decency gone?
 In the first years of privation that the small salary demanded the trusting wife went with out, always filled with the golden hope that when her husbands ship came in |" she would have lovely dresses and the opera and the theater and possibly be taken to a charm ing cafe afterwards.

young woman candy, gum, ice cream, and in fact keep her supplied with these things ali the time.
 Now, is it right and proper for them to do this, and is it proper for the girl to ae- cept such favors, knowing the men are mar- ried? The older men do not do it, and the younger ones say they have to in order to keep on the good side of the young woman, to get her to help them out with work for which she is getting a good salary.
 "Perhaps I am old-fashioned in my ideas of such things. but I think it is not prope: for married men to spend nickels and dimes on young women when they have families to look after, so I would like very much to see your opinion on this subject. s. O."

 The woman is powerless to act. She Is stunned. And her greatest grief Is to have the son who looks to his father as shining example in all things find him in the company of this woman after he had lied so outrageous ly to his mother.
 She tries to think up some excuse to give the boy for his fathers actions, but her tongue cleaves to the roof of her mouth. And the son in sympathetically understanding way slips his hand in his mothers and says: "Never mind mother I will go with you whenever you want to go." But the theater hasn't much pleasure for poor brokenhearted mother after that!

And when these interruptions men, of whom there are many in the world in which she recently has recruited, fatter her she believes them. They are older than her boy chums and they have been out in the world and therefore know much more, she thinks than her home folks or the boys with whom she chummed. And so she listens to them.
 They tell her there is no harm in going out to cozy little cafe for quiet little dinner. She istens to them again and half believing and half in the spirit of adventure that youth loves so well, she goes. He quiets any little fears she may possess by assuring her that no one will see them.
 But rarely ever does it happen that such affairs are carried on to the knowledge only of the two involved, no matter how quiet or obscure the cafe they haunt.
