Answer: The business girl can ap-
proach matrimony from a more indie
pendent standpoint than can the
woman who comes empty handed to
her husband and whose husband will
have to support her. Therefore, the
business girl can take the initiative in
offering to form a matrimonial part
nership with a man. So see no rea-
son why you shouldn't lay your
cards %on the table and tell the man
what you are willing to contribute
to the firm, and find out how he re-
CARDS you. If he does not love you,
and does not intend to marry you,
the sooner you know 1t the better.

refreshed by a little wholesome diver
sion.
As no philanthropist has yet seen
( the necessity of providing some fun
for the people, the best you can do
is to trot your husband around to
SUCH concerts and lectures as you
can find, and to organize little club
of few other couples who are also
wondering what to do with their eve
nings, to play cards or Nah Jong,
or some other game.
But has your husband no ambition Z.
Doesn't he want to- make more money:
Is he content to sit up and gaze into
space wishing for things instead of try
ing to get them? IL he would put in
that time which hangs so heavily on his
hands in night course. studying what
ever line of work he follows and trying
to learn more about It, ne would soon
make enough money to be able to af-
ford the pleasures he desires.
You are quite right not to urge
him to go out and enjoy himself
alone. The man who does that soon
finds that a wife is drawback to
his pleasure.
But my advise is not to shake a rat
tie before your husband to amuse him.
Prod him with stick into doing some
thing. People who are busy and abb
sorbed in their work need no. other
amusement. DOROTHY DIX.

what is the lure of the widow? What

AS for the lure of the widow, that is
