have him arrested for doing these
things.
He hasn't any reason to be so mean,
because l try-to do what is right. He
tells me to get out for he doesn't want
to see me. / have Just decided / am
going to leave. What would you advise
me to do? l have no children.
UNHAPPY WIFE.
Leave the man by all means, and di-
vorce hin so that he will have no claim
on you, 1t Is ridiculous for him to take
the money you earn; instead he ought
to support you without your working.
Since you have nj children to consider,
and since your husband Is abusive and
unfair, l do not believe you should hes
itate one moment about getting a d.
vorce.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: ! am a young
girl just out of school and notwith-
standing that it isn't necessary, l want
to go to work. My family object and
speak in horrible terms Of the pit
falls" awaiting girls who go out in
the world,
l can't believe their tales. Win you
please tell me the truth-do such things
exist, orNare they simply exaggerated
exceptions? If l behave as a nice girl
should l be bothered out in the world.
| have a great talent for art-I want
to be a designer. This means a lot
to me. Will you answer? AGNES.
Pitfalls Agnes, have almost gone
out Of fashion. 1t is true that in our
mothers young ladyhood girls were not
allowed much freedom n sometimes
the novelty of them being out in the
world subjected them to unpleasant
things. 1t is true that men those days
thought working girls their legitimate
prey-that they insisted upon escort
ing them to off-color places and Of
fered to furnish flats or buy new bon
nets. Not in all cases then, though,
Agnes-only in some.
1t has always depended upon the
woman-the sort of treatment she shall
receive from men. Let her be her
own nice, sweet self and in only one
case out of every hundred will she be
subjected to the least unpleasant en-
perience.
Wear clothes that won't stand criti-
cism-clothes that clothe the body and
yet look stylish-oh, yes 1t can be done.
Be courteous to the folk that you meet
and have nothing to do with those
whom you don't and you win get along
in this world.
1t is true thai in rare instances
strange men speak to girls either on
the street or from parked automobiles
n ask them to take a little ride"
This can be ignored unless persistent,
then gravely say: You spoke to me
| believe. Well | wouldn't advise you
to do It again." Should they reply,
which isn't probable, call the nearest
policeman. The case can be managed
without publicity and one more man
without a claim to the name can be
punished.
Few pitfalls exist outside the the
alter or the movie, Agnes, and it all
depends on the girl-save in the Tooth
instance.
Dear Mrs, Thompson: Sometime ago
| dyed a blouse dark blue. 1t insists
on fading on everything | wear. Please
tell me what to do. MRS. j..
Evidently you did not boil il long
enough in the dye or you failed to
rinse it properly. Try the rinsing-
endeavor to wash it until the water
clear--then If at the end of about
five rinsings this is not the case, pur-
chase more dye and 60 through the di-
rections as written on the bach of the
package. Boil the number of minutes
given n rinse afterwards until the
water is clear.
Dear Mrs. Thompson; I have a lit
tie boy OF about eight who hates to go
10 CHuTCH. MY husband 1lSlSIS OF
making him sit through a sermon. AS
a result my Sundays are miserable ner-
vous affairs. What am | to do.
A MOTHER.
It's easy. Just take something to
church that amuses the chi d-a box OF
crayons and a book in which to oraw,
a pretty picture story, a small set of
toys-anything that will not make noise.
and let him amuse himself. IL you can
afford 1t q little thermos bo,tie I'll ed
with something to eat or drink would
also be attractive, or a bit of surprise,
a little candy or cake.
1t is no longer considered bad form
for children to be amused while at
service. Visit large churches in cities
and you will notice ever so many little
girls dressing and undressing their dolls
in fashionable pews, or small boys with
wee engines wiggling about on heavy
benches. Just require him to be quiet
and keep him amused and the rest is
easy. Soon he will actually look for
ward to Sunday as a sort Of funny
Christmas.
