husband is not contented at home
Sometimes he seems to be con-
tented, but he would rather go

BROKEN HEART.
Neglecting your home will make
you more unhappy than it will
affect him. A woman must have
recreation and enjoyment, how
however, and, if the husband won't
provide it, she must, Of course,
seek it elsewhere. If he intends,
as it would appear, to live his own
life, you must live yours. 1t is
useless to nope at home alone,
because that course only makes
you more dissatisfied and gloomy
Can't you look up the gi:i friends
YOU knew before your marriage?
Haven't you married women ac-
ouaintances? It's amazing how
many things women can do without
male escorts and even more aston
ishing what really good times
they can have. | never get a let
ter from a girl telling me how
unhappy su,h and such a man has
made her that I don't wish more
women would realize what good
times girls can have without men
and without the heartaches and
sorrows that seem inevitably to
accompany friendships with men.
Undoubtedly, your husband would
be more interested In you il you
were to "perB up a bit and show
him YOU can manage to be happy
without his attentions. Men only
seem to want the women who can
do very well without them and
seem always to neglect those who
are dependent upon them for hap
piness.

MY DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
wonder II you will permit me
to make an offer through your col
umns to your feminine readers?
At the age OF twenty-one ! find
myself with a university degree, a
touring car. membership in two
college fraternities, a fairly lucra-
tive position. and an admiration
for pretty girls, especially the f
street dolls.
veloping my head l have sadly
neglected my feet. and my remedy
is the following offer:
II any pretty girl and good dress
er about eighteen or nineteen years
old and under Ave feet four inches
in height will teach me how to
dance, by allowing me to dance
with her at some good dance hall
and giving me the pleasure of her
company about twice a week,
will give her the use OF my car
and will give her as good a time as
is humanity possible, spending such
money as is within reason and
within my income, provided hat
either one of us should not like
the other. the contract is broken.
My looks are neither an asset or
n debit, nor am | curb lizard, but
I have never had difficulty in get
ting along with the more deadly
OF the species and only fnd myself
in this situation because I have
been too much occupied with stud
les 70 develop the light fantistic,
and wish to do so without going to
n professional instructor 0r to any
OF my present friends. who contin-
ually tell me hat l dance well
enough as IL Is.
do not think that this offer Is
one-sided, because with warm
weather coming, n touring car Of
fers many means OF enjoyment and
long rides away from the heat of
the city. A. B. c.
My dear young man, as much as
l hate to be the one to find fault
with the oyster, or see flaw in
the sunset or question Greek
bearing gifts, I know that a young
man with all your advantages on
his catalogue card would have so
many girls at his beck and call
that he would never need resort
to the medium of advertisement.
You're too good to be true, I'm
afraid. However, | like a good
