 Now, this girls mother could
 have saved it if, when her daugh-
 ter first began talking about com
 ing back home, she had written her
 firmly, Forget it. You have no
 right to ruin your husbands
 chances. Stay in the home he has
 made for you and adapt yourself
 to the people among whom your
 lot is cast
 If the mother had had backbone
 enough to do that, the girl would
 have got over her homesickness.
 She would have got interested in
 her new home and all would have
 gone well with her and her hus-
 band, for there is nothing like
 knowing that thing is finally and
 definitely settled to make us &C., ceipt and make the best of it.
 q have always been glad that when I got married I went thousand miles away from home to live. Of course it threw me out on my own and near ly died of longing for mother, but had to stand on my own feet because I had no one to lean on.
 'I didn't know a thing about house work or sewing and there were days when I could have made Niobe, doing her well-known crying stunt, look like a picture of joy, compared to the tear act I put on when found out how hard it. was to make bread that wasn't a menace to life or iron a shirt. But there was no one to tell my troubles to- so I wiped my eyes and kept plugging along until I learned how to be first. class cook and washlady.
 And one time when we struck a streak of bad luck I went out and got a job rather than write home for money and ask mother for help.
 There haven't been many happier marriages than ours, and when told my husband the other day about this girl who has come running home to mother, just because she didn't like the place her husband lived in, he said I am glad I married woman who is a better sport than that
 But I said, You had better be thankful that you married woman who had a mother who had back bone instead of being bag of mush. For I had the blessing of having had a Spartan mother who would never let us lie down on our jobs. She made us finish whatever we started, even mat rimony."

Third infantry Society Calls
Discharge of Mi|itiamen
'Autocratic Indiscretion.'

The discharge Of three local Ma
tional Guardsmen by the Post Office
Department upon their return from
the annual encampment recently and
which has caused considerable dis
oussion. was denounced in a resolu-
tion adopted by the Regimental As
sociation, Sd District of Columbia
Infantry. at a recent meeting.
The resolution, which was for
manding 121st Engineers. District OF
Columbia National Guard, declares
that the action Of the postal officials
was fragrant act of autocratic
indiscretion on the part OF certain
administrative officials
1t also declares that the post Of
fee, whenever the occasion requires,
calls upon the Federal Government
to furnish men OF a high degree OF
training to act as military guards OF
mail trucks and mail cars, and that
young men from all walks OF life
are needed to maintain the skele-
ton Army with reserve officers de-
sired by the Federal Government
under the national defense act.
Nine Reasons Given.

misguided and misinformed officials, -
