aged tnht ] wonder II inefe IS iiis pleasure in the world for me. Do you think that it would mean if I should refuse to wait on the boys when they are able to wait on themselves?
 E. E.
 Answer: l do not know anything more pitiful than the fact that nine tenths of the over worked women in the world are being killed by the necessary nighbor their families force them to do. IL is just as easy to hang coat up on hook. as it is to hang it on chair. It is no more exertion to drop cigar ashes in the tray than it is on the floor. It requires no heroic sacrifice of pleas ure to keep newspaper together ln- stead of strewing it all over the house
 But it makes a slave Of the one wom- an who has to hang up and pick up and sweep up after family who seem to believe their belongings are auto matically switched to where they belong, and that their dirt disappears as if by magic. If every member of house. hold would clean up after himself or herself, there wouldn't be so many monuments in the cemeteries to our be- loved wives and mothers:
 Ones sympathy for these domestic martyrs. is, however. considerably modified by by the knowledge that they have brought their fate on themselves, sU far as thir children are concerned. Children treat their mothers invariably just as their mothers have taught them.
 If mother has demanded respect nI ,nneidaru from hnr ,.hillrap she gets respect and consideration. If she has permitted her children 10 speak impudently to her. they say insulting things to her; if she assumes all the burdens, they let her bear them.
 Certainly any woman who has son twenty-four years old who will sit idly bA and see his mother split wood ant lift heavy loads is getting just what sht has sown. She has failed signally il her duty to him. for she has not taught him to be chivalrous toward herself More than that, she has done a great wrong to some other woman. because she has raised up boy who will make a mean husband.
 Probably it is too late to change your sons now. B. B., but wake them up as much as you can by refusing to wait on them any more. You can, at least, save yourself some labor.

most people know it. He wants to drift and lead life of adventure and danger H. some forsaken spot. Yet he loves 'ne. ( He has proved it in thousand ways and he is always fighting between these two desires-to wander. and to stay with me. What can l do to show him that d life of a drifter is wasted: ::
 D. NJ. Answer: The wanderlust is the most consuming of all passions. and when it is in ones blOOd there is no cure for it. No matter how much a> man loves a woman. no matter how brilliant the the opportunities offered him in some regular employment. he simply cannot bide at home. There comes a day when the broad highway calls louder than the voices of wife and children. when the glamour of strange places is more than the prospect of riches. and he must either go or break his heart in re- ming.
 There are birds you cannot tame animals you cannot domesticate. men you cannot tie to a hearthstone And you had just as we'll face this fact and decide your problem accordingly.
 But the old proverb about the rolling stone gathering no moss is not neces- Sarily q true one now. Business now adays is often au adventure in itself and fortunes go to those who have the spirit of thea adventurer. and are will, ing to go into strange places and live hard and dangerous lives. There are oil wells 10 be drilled in wild places |; rubber to be raised; c0pra to be gather
  that furnish hairbreadth adventure at every step.
 Why not get your man with the wan dering foot to turn his steps into some of these profitable paths? But if you are one of those women who love the quiet life and your own dOiies and mahogany. think long before you marry man who cannot bear to be caged. The tiger and the lamb mate ill together.
 DOROTHY DIN.
 Dear Miss Dix-SOme three years ago there was an affair between the man 1 love and a girl three years his senior, he being twenty-one at that time and she twenty four. After about q year the affair terminated. and short ly afterward the girl married a man much older than herself
 My fiance tells me he loves me, but when he does l can't help remembering that he has probably told her the same thing. And when he kisses me I just know how he has kissed her want to think of it as closed book, but l can't.
 Am I jealous? If not. why do I re- sent so keenly being second in his af- fections?
 REIN.
 Answer: :- l should say you are jealous. Rex. You are afflicted with about the most morbid case of malady of which I have ever heard. Your common sense should tell you that your fiance's former love affair was purely calf-love affair, some thing to be laughed over instead of taken seriously. Every boy has such an attack when he imagines himself in love with some woman older than him self.
 As for worrying yourself about your sweetheart saying the same sweet nOthings to you that he has said to an

CULINARY ENTHUSIASM

"Is something troubling you?' in- vited the harassed husband. who had come home and found his wife all slumped down in corner of the daven- port, giving an imitation of woman in deep thought.
 Probably admitted the slumped- dcwn wife after an instants cOnsidera- ton of the question. But don't know just what it is; there was so much of it. you see!'
 "There isn't anything answering that description. but the ocean and the bills and the first of the month," the har- assed husband informed her. "Try again."
 T dropped in at our recently mar ried daughters abode for luncheon the slumped-down wife confided in him brea thlessly. You know Cora Jane has told me time and time again she wished I'd just drop in whenever 1 felt like it, because she most always was trying something new in the line of tcookery and there would be food of a hs6rt. This did not impress me as lit feral speech. because while Cora Jane resided with us she was just an en- thusiastic about cookery as an armless man would have been about lawn ten his.
 "She let me in today with very flushed face, hair struggling desperately with its net and an all-over apron up to her ears A large mixing spoon was in one hand and she carried absent T. I,..s~ OI,a Stn other.
 "She said how lucky it was I had | come today because she was trying sey- eral new things for lunch and there was plenty. She added that she was just crazy about cooking and she thought it the duty of every true wife to pro- vide a varigated fare for her hard working husband. Of course she sup posed very few husbands worked as hard as George did, but even then--to be quite frank--didn't l think I ought to perk up and give you surprises for dinner instead of the standardized old steak-chops- -piec-rice-pudding things we always had? r=t
 By this time we had reached the kitchen and for a moment thought there must have been an explosion be- cause the place seemed full of all sorts of every kind of cooking utensils in every state of use and disuse, all the table dishes, mostly unwashed, dozens of tea towels and packages, bags and boxes and a lot of things merrily sig zling and boiling and baking on the gas stove. She insisted on my eating of everything she had cooked, was cook ing or getting ready to cook.
