SUCCESS AND SECESSION
Shall Wife Separate Father and
Sons7

Here's a real problem put by wife
and not involving another woman or
man, thank goodness!
1--WE were deeply in love when we
married but it turns out that my
husband is like an overgrown boy,
who gets out of every responsibility
to others, yet claims all the liberties
of a man.
"Our twin sons are in high school
and I hope to raise them to be Chris
tian gentlemen.
'My husband flaunts all the, things

any issues of the day. We cannot
argue any question peacefully and so
all important topics are tabooed Tor
they cause discord before the boys.

'Tately it entered my mind that /

"Am I not justified in making a
separate home for our sons?'
According to a futurist theory OF
marriage, a man and woman, bO
years hence, will not feel bound to
stay together after the children are
educated and self-supporting.
The germ of that idea has had its
origin in Just such cases as the one
above quoted. For the present,
there's this to be said against it:
Children who are raised by one par
ent acquire unfortunate, one sided
complexes. For the lack OF q father
the son grows effeminate.
Although financially Independent,
Is this mother justified in separating
father and sons?

sons grew up. He did not care to

PETER FoRGETs ABOUT THE
STRANGE TRACKS


Kick your heels and Jump and dance!
Hop and skip and gayly prance!
Sister South Winds come TO stay,
And Mistress Spring is on the way!
EVERYBODY said that Peter Rabbit
and Jumper the Hare had gone crazy.
OF course it wasn't true. They
weren't really crazy, even if they did
act so. People always say that Jum-
per the Hare is mad at this time OF
the year, but it isn't so unless trying
TO show how happy and full OF JOY
you feel is madness. That was the
trouble with Jumper and Peter TINS
time. They were so full OF joy that
they just had to do something, and
because they couldn't sing and shout
for you know they have no voices
for singing and shouting-they just
had to do something to show how
glad and happy they were, and so,
in the moonlight, when they thought
no one saw them, they hoped and
skipped and jumped and danced, and
did all sorts of foolish things.
But other people did see. them.
Jimmy Skunk saw them and said
How sillyl" Bobby Coon, poling his
head out Of his hollow tree to see IL
the last bit of snow had disappeared,
yawned sleepily and said, How

But Peter and Jumper didn't know
this, and they wouldn't have cared
much anyway. They didn't have room
for anything but the Joy that filled
their hearts, and that JOY was be-
cause they knew that Mistress SprinG
was on the way and she always
brings the glad time, the happy time,
| tba merry time when the very air is
| full of joy and love, and it is, oh,
so good to be alive! They knew that
she was on the way because Sister
South Wind had arrived and told
them so, for Sister South Wind had
come to prepare the way for her, 10
melt the snow and ice, and to whisper
to all the trees which had slept the
long winter through that it was time
to wake SO they forgot everything
| else in the joy of this good news.

If you would use aried beans as a
meat substitute remember who de-
tails: All beans require long, slow
cooking and addition of fat. The
long cooking softens the skins and
makes them digestible and the fat
adds the element lacking in beans.
There are at least eight varieties
of dried beans to choose from-White,
specked and coIored. The colored
beans are richer in flavor than white
beans.

ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Time was when half hoop OF dia-

feminine bliss! Now half hoops are
too dreadfully old-fashioned! 1t must

tiny pearls or emeralds put in with
diamond dust are quite the smart
and fashionable thing!
