l read Kitty Malram's letter
over again while waiting for Dick
to come home and tell me what
had been done to suppress the
Symone scandal. Three things in
1t struck me as important point
ers toward solving not only Kit
tvs problems of life, but those of
other women.
First. Kitty has demonstrated
that a woman's traits are not
wholly feminine, but they are just
human.
Her vanity was touched by the
knowledge that she was holding
the center of the stage in her
own little circle, that both her
friends and her enemies were
commenting on her affair with
Bill Tenney. She also told her
self that she was making big sac
rifices for the sake of her love of
Tenney, while all the while she
was revealing in her love of SEN
sation and luxury. She persuaded
herself that this was the one love
of her life, the one thing that she
could not live without, and had
she stayed here she probably
would not have found out until
1t was too late-the truth.
Now being daily near a man
that she respects and admires,
who is interested in, and who has
interested her in, a great uplift-

ing work. she realizes that not
everything in this world is bound
up in what we call romantic love.
oh, little book, this sounds
very different from that rhapsody
that ] penned the night before my
wedding, does 1t not? And l am
a very happy married woman, at
that, butt have found out that
there is a difference between con-
jugal and romantic love.
In just what the difference con-
sists | am not yet quite clear. but
l cannot lie to myself and declare
there is no difference, and it is
only hypocrisy on the part Of
any married woman who thinks to
insist that the wonderful passion
lasts through all the vicissitudes
of married life.
II in marriage the dazzling
blue flame of romantic love grad
ually grows smaller and finally
does away, then there remains the
permanenee of that warmth anC
the steady glow of companionship
habit, mutual interests and res
spect, making harmony of feel
ing.
The passion of romantic low,
Gibbs and flows, but the mos
beautiful and comforting of al
human conceptions, welded love
is always calm and clear.
| have gotten away from Kitty
Malram and her troubles, little
book, in the analysis of married
life and love, a most interesting
subject to all women and most
men.
However, 1t seems to me that
Kitty's chances of happiness are
much greater with the man she
is with now than with Bill Ten
ney, even il he were free to marry
her. There is only one little fly
in the ointment. and that is what
Kitty asked me in her letter.
Shall she tell her preacher lover
of her Filtration with Bill Tenney?
The mere fact of her telling oil
not telling does not mean any
! thing; but how he would take il
would mean very much.
Kitty Malram can never bt
happy with a man who is MOI
broad enough to not only forgive
but understand human frailties al
well as human sins.
Kitty is now living on the
mountain top and it seems to m'
from her letter that she has al
intuition that this man of hers il
bit narrow where women are
concerned. VIII she be able t
abide by his decisions when sh'
gets back to the hard-clay roat
Of the valley of everyday life?
Anyway, I'll write and ask her

character Miss Marietta Craig,
for two years the leading woman
in a prominent Boston stock COM

subjects of the moments as wei
as those of the day.

Musical comedy in tabloid form
will be the premier offering at the

CARL Ross heads the company of
16 performers, and opposite him

The musical numbers In 1.-THE
Mermaid and the Man" are said
to be both tuneful and effective,
and a particularly striking chorus
is found in the support of the
leading voices in several effective
ensemble numbers.
Tacoma audiences will take
more than average interest in the

Dear Miss Grey: l don't

My sisters. who want to
be school-teachers, ask their
big brother Chats mel for
money to continue their stud
les. and |, of course. let them
have 1t. They agree to pay
Il back when they get posi-
lions as teachers; but instead
they get married and say no
more about II, except, or
course, that they are SO glad
they have a good-hearted big
brother to help them out.
Well, now, IL l had that
money | should get married
and make a girl happy who
has no big brother to appeal
to. AS l have not the money
that l expected to have, and
as I can't conscientiously
marry her unless l have 1t,
should | be blamed for feel
ing sore at these two sisters
of mine who are happy,
while l and my sweetheart
have to wait another year
perhaps two? Hoping to see
an answer.

is right and am unable to
decide just what that Is.
Am % years of age and

years my wife and l have

although l work the greater

most impossible for me to

loneliness, and If l am
obliged to maintain a home

in the country for myself.

tiers at all, SO Miss Grey, I
ask your advice. Thanking
you. Sincerely, e. M. r.
p. S.-If it is not asking
too much, kindly advise me
regarding the legal end of
the case-if my wife re-
fuses to accompany me, am
obliged to support her in
the city?
Ayes, as long as you remain
married you are obliged by Law
to support your wife; but be
Iieve IL you will not be too anx
ious, she will decide to do wha1
is kindest and best. IL there 1!
no other reason than the one yoI
say she gives, l think she should
be willing to go. Approach thu

ing spirit, and be willing to d.
whatever is right and just.
Dear Miss Grey: l am

and l am in Tacoma visiting
relatives and friends.

vitations to parties and thea

ward for both hostess and CUES
for a visiting girl to refuse invi
tations from friends of the fam

but do not try to hide your &C

colds has come.

colds has come.
Everybody ought to know how to
avoid colds, but the number who bark
and shuttle proves that the simplest
precautions aren't understood, or else
aren't practiced.
Fallacy one about cold is that it
should be kept heated. Fresh air,
fresh air, and still more FRESH AIR
is the best preventive of colds. It's
the sharp contrast between the stuffy
air of over-heated rooms, with their
billions of flying dust specs and bac-
terra and the cool outdoors that chief
ly cause colds. You may get a cold
while breathing fresh air, but it won't
be fresh air that causes it. Did you
ever see a hunter, woodsman or primi-
tive Indian with a cold?
Fallacy two is that you should
''feed," that is, gorge a cold. Of course,
you must eat. But don't over-eat. And
be doubly careful that the bodily ex-
cretions aren't interrupter. If you
must eat more than usual, put the en-
phasis on fruits.
Drinking copiously and frequently
of pure water is a good medicine for a
cold-much better than whiskey.
But the best cure is to be careful
with exercise, eating and ventilation
that cold won't have anything to dc
with you.
Walk more, open the windows more
drink more water and avoid dope. Just
try this prescription the next few
weeks and let us know how you like it
