High School and its needs for expan-

lively dispute, should be purchased

Rommel, president Of the board, In

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: have been
married three years and have worked
all that time to help my husband
He did not make enough money for
US TO live on and as 1 had a very
good position at the time of our mar
| riage 1 saw no reason for giving 1t UP.
When prices began to go up 1 urged
my husband to ask for more money!
but he refused I was raised until I
! made $40 a month more than my hus-
hand. We started to buy a little home
and I must confess that most of the
money put into it was mine.
L was so busy that 1 didn't realize
my husband was driftinw away from
me- Suddenly 1 began to notice that
he worked almost every night. One
night happened to see him leave
the, office with one of the girls. L fol-
lowed so that they did not see me-
They went to a show and I stayed
outside until they came out. Then
he took the girl home and 1 followed.
Just when he was going to kiss her
good-night l stepped Up and let him
know that had caught him.
I was so angry that 1 wanted a di-
vorce. but my husband wouldn't hear
of it. Instead of being true to the
other girl he said he realized more
than ever that he couldn't give me
up. He even confessed that his pay
is almost double what it was when
we married. He kept theN extra
money to spend on the other girl.
Please give me your advice. love
my husband STILL but I am discour-
aged. When I think of all the hard
work have done so that he could
spend secretly feel that have been
cheated. What shall do?
OLIVE
Since you still love your husband,
give him another chance. This time,
however. give up your office position
and let him support you. You have
been too independent, and because you
had your own money he felt that he
could spend his on another woman.
Try not to- doubt your husbands love.
His quick return to you when his Sc
cret filtration was found out shows
that he only cared for the other vo--
man for diversion,
understand how you feel. It IS
very difficult to love and have faith
in a man who, has proved so false to
you. I believe, however, that you
were partly to blame for working
You gave your husband the best of
yourself that you could after a days
work in the business world. This was
not enough because you were tired
and could not be a close enough COM
pa1ion for him.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.



For one thing, she can see, that her
daughters have their chance To a.
large degree this is a matter OF clothes
land environment. A wise woman
recognizes the fact that from the time
a girl is nineteen until she is twenty
five is her day. and that she must
make her matrimonial hay while the
sun of her youth shines
And to enhance the sunshine she
must have as pretty clothes as it is
possible to get her. The old, theory
about beauty unadorned being most
adorned, is rank nonsense. Any pic
ture, even a living one, needs a frame
| to set it off, and glad raiment adds to
the gladness of the peachiest peach,
while it caWouflages the plainness of
| a homefy one.
J The best investment that any family,
, in moderate means can make is to put
all they can spare on the backs Of
their young daughters. 1t will go
T, farther than anything else towards
catching them desirable husbands. for
! the easiest and the surest way to hook
! a man is thru the eye.
/ Also good clothes enable a girl to
go to places to which she would never
! be invited if she were shabby or
dowdy, for this is a selfish world that
/ is mainly run on looks. and nobody
/ peers beneath a home made frock to
see what a pure, and virtuous, and
l.
you will recall, even Cinderella never
got to the bali until the fairy changed
/ her sackcloth and ashes into gold
brocade. and it was her good frock
/ that gave her her chance at the
i prince.
! Likewise. the prudent mother takes
her daughter to- the places where
men do congregate. What's the use
/ in fishing in waters in which there
are no fish? A girl who is kept Sc
questered in the back woods he's no
chance cat the captains of industry in
a city. Even the modest violet has to
bloom in mans pathway in order to
get picked. We must have the door
on the latch for matrimonial oppor-
tunities just as well as any other op-
portunity.
I Therefore, a mother should see to
it that her daughters have the chance
! of meeting the kind of men she wants
opportunity to fall in love with Mr..
Right instead of Mr.. Wrong
| And mother can help her daugh-
ters to secure good husbands by maxi

tive that men like to come to 1t, or
