husband (assuming that you write
of your own problem) can truly re-
spect his wife and children. He has
very likely drifted thoughtlessly into
this habit, however, and needs some
one to bring it sharply to his atten-
ton before it takes too strong
hold upon his life for him to change.
Perhaps if you would remind him
that he is incurring the contempt OF
his children when they grow older,
or running the more serious risk OF
having them follow in his footsteps,
he might be made to see the folly OF
such conduct in a father. The weak
respect the strong, and such man
might be influenced by a woman OF
strong character and firm convlc-
tions. You are making a mistake IL
YOU allow your life to be entlrely
controlled by a man OF SO little
character. He would have more re-
spect for you and be more apt to DO
what you wish if you would snow
little spunk. When you or the chill
dren want to go anywhere, INFORM
him that you "are going, and ne Is
to take you or find way.
Make your home as attractive as
possible and yourself an agreeaDle
companion. so that he may find nome
a peaceful place for Sundays. ana
his wife more interesting than MS
gambling associates.
Whether a man should talk over
his business affairs with his wife is
purely a personal matter, but L thlnk
in an ideal marriage there are no Sc
crets of this kind of husband or
wife from one another. Since you
are interested and wish to know, he
should be glad to discuss his Dusl-
ness with you. ,
It is impossible from your letter
for me to say whether he loves you
no longer. or is simply thougntless
man, who puts other things before
his wife and children. II you 40
YOUR part in making yourself, your
home and your children exactly as
they should be, you will do all that
Won can to hold his love.

DEAR MONA DEWES-How does
a woman win the respect of other
women? Some years ago l mad the
reputation of being wild" ana
"speedy." Since l came 10 my
senses. settled down and reformed, L
have found it impossible to prove 10
the people of my community that
ON at last a decent, self-respecting
citizen. am very lonely and tempt
ed to return to my old ways.
FRIENDLESS
ANSWER-There is nothing sad
der than the reformed fast woman
striving to win the forgiveness ana
respect of her narrow sanctlmonlous
neighbors. If you spend the rest Oh
your days leading an irreproachable
life, and doing good deeds, even
when your wings begin to sprout
there are some who will stllI pull
away their holy skirts and trown
upon you. You could gain nothing,
Friendless, by turning To your OLD
companions and your old life' now
ever. No happiness lies there'-only
tears and regrets. Simply continue
to live as you should, paying the
penalty for your past in the cold
shoulders and the black looks OF
your neighbors, and hope that there
will in time be few broad-minded,
humane women who will dare the
censure of their friends and be kind
to you.

Letters received later than Mon
day morning will be answered in the
Chronicle of the following week.
Due to a misprint in last weeks
paper, part of one of Mona Dewes'
answers read: "You are not Gevel-
oped or experienced enough, Uncer-
tain, to know the type of man with
whom you want to spend all the rest
of your stage of puppy love-" etc. 1t
should have read: with whom you
want to spend all the rest of your
life. You are going through a stage
of puppy love-" etc.
