Orange, n. 1.-THE Housewives
League members of this section of
the state are meeting here today to
consider whether they will se-
cede from the National Housewives
League, and join an Independent body
being organized along the same lines.
1t is believed that the action will be
taken, for other New Jersey affiliated
bodies have already broken from the
parent organization. The split is the
result of a disagreement of long
standing, the local women objecting
to the alleged commercialism of the
national body. Objection has also
been made to the concentration of
power in the hands of one woman.

declared the women who earned their
own way before marriage were the
happier and more successful, and have
given more than the women who have
not had the experience of standing on

Aduice to Girls
By Betty Bropn

Dear Betty Brown: | have been go
ing with young man for two years.
during which time he has taken me
to almost every dance he has attend
ed. In the last few months he has
taken me to every one. Recently
some friends of mine gave a dance
and asked me to bring some one. For
some foolish reason l took another boy
whom | do not like as well, though
had taken the other boy, to almost ev-
cry affair | have been asked to bring
some one to for some time.
The boy became ''peeved" and told
me he did not like it very much. Every
time he calls he speaks about it. Kind
" tell me which of us is in the wrong.
S. L.
Well, my dear girl it is surely six OF
one and half a dozen of the other. TO
be sure, if the boy has asked you TO
every single dance he has attended
lately he would be pardOned for think
i ing that you would return the cOmpll-
ment
On the other hand, unless you are
engaged to him, you are not obliged
to ask him to every function where
you have the right to invite an es-
Icort.
Why not say to him that you thought
he might possibly like a change OF
partners? This may not appease him,
yet it's worth trying.

you help me? D. G.
From your writing I should judge
you to be very young, B. G. Can't you
be interested in some one nearer your
own age? AS | have told number
Of girls before, the man may not be
paying you particular attention be
cause he doesn't take you seriously
he may regard you as a perfect in
FAINT.
Besides there is nothing you can
do to induce him to go with you if he
doesn't really care to do so. Perhaps
there is some one else who really likes
you, and whom you have overlooked
My Dear Betty Brown: About SIX
months ago / met a boy and have been
going with him ever since. until about
three weeks ago he made an engage

If Betty Brown was man instead
of a woman, perhaps she might be
able to help you. 1t really makes me
furious to read of such a case as yours,
where the youths strange attitude re-
mains in doubt.
There would be some comfort IL
there had been a quarrel, but since
there was none, you can acknowledge
to yourself that there is in this town
at least one ill-mannered boy, whose
behavior has been rudeness itself.
