Your sister is not far from right,
Rose. A girls youth and. the beauty
that goes with youth, are her val
liable assets in finding life partner,
and as the asinine custom which
keeps a woman's lips sealed under
such circumstances as you describe
still prevails, she has to use her
wits. You might mention your SIS

It's rather a delicate matter to han

Jim should at least begin to indicate
something of his intentions, and you
have a right to know.

But the women who make the

Cases like yours constitute a
good argument for the righteous
ness of divorce. However, after all
these years, there is little to do.
but make the best Of things. For
unately marriage isn't quite such a
wholesale failure as it seems to you.
There are many, many, many
happily married folks. Try and not
feel sorry for yourself. The.t makes
one suffer more. I've necessarily
had to leave out of print some of
the things you told me in your
letter. Be brave and you'll at least
have the consciousness that you've
done your best, and that's worth a

I believe you would make a great

does the best work in his or her pro
fession Is that one who does the work
which he likes and is naturally fitted
for. AS you have not an aggressive

Mccoy and Sperandeo, Who Figured in Fight in Court, Guilty
 of Contempt

New Haven, Nov. 5 PHDisplay of temper on their part and the throw ing of an ink well during the wrangle brought fines of $100 each upon David J. Mccoy, attorney, and Louis sperandeo. assistant prosecut- ing attorney, from Judge Walter M. Pickett of New Haven common ples.s court today.
 The incident which disturbed the serenity of the court room occurred several days ago and was the out burst of personal feeling during re- cess in the trial of civil suit in which the attorneys were on opHos- ing sides. Sperandeo hurled the ink we'll which brought ink blotches to marble wainscotting. court records and the uniform of a deputy sherin who separated the men.
 Both attorneys tendered apologies to the court. Judge Pickett said he preferred not to review the Ire grettable incident" He remarked that If there is one place where the law should be respected. it is the court room"
 The incident was closed with ap- plication of the maximum penalty.
