Ny husband and I have nothing inc common. and have fallen in love with another man who is my ideal
 That is the almost inevitable se- quenee of early marriages. By the time the girl wife is grown up she is tired of the boy of her youthful fancy. She is tired of the drudgery of matrimony, thrust upon her too early. She is discontented, peevish. She longs for. love and romance. and she is pretty sure to meet some man who satisfies her mature taste. So congratulate yourself that at twenty one you are still free and that you are in danger of making the mis- takes that your friends who married too young probably have made. Above all, don't get in a panic about HUI bctHS muFricu uHu sttNcu, anu rush into an idiotic alliance just to save yourself from being an old maid.
 Marriage ages a woman. Your friends who are matrons with babies are, in effect. five years older than you are. So I would advise you to get out of the married crowd and go with the younger set. where you belong. Other, wise you will be classed as a spinstel instead of the young girl you really are Perhaps going back to college will be as good way as any to do this. but it is hard to resume interrupted studies. SC why not take up a~business course or a domestic science course at home:

sn NE of the first and worst of the O bugbears which the young wife has to face are the bugaboo tales her husband tells about the way his mother used to do things. He talks great deal about pies like mother used to make" And Mrs. Newlywed spends half the day with the rolling pin and the other half drying her eyes.
 But just let her remember that her husbands mother never told of the gin gerbread that fell as flat as Fourth of July oration in Berlin. She never told of the pans of tea biscuit that had to be stealthily. cast into the garbage can. She told only of the glorious culi- nary successes which came after long years of patience and trial.
 Let the young wife also remember that mother probably paid from 25 to 30 cents a pound for butter, 30 cents a dozen for eggs--and sometimes got 15 for a quarter-and 6 cents a quart for milk. All that meant that mother could use more material and afford to experiment quite frequently.
 No doubt mother did the very things her son thinks she did, but the ques- stion is. Would mother do them today |? Not only would she, but could she?
