GIRL ABOUT
TOWN
by MARILYN.

Time was when I was a healthy
robust young woman who enjoyed
beefsteak and mushrooms, pate de
foies gras and an occasional aperi
tiff. Life was fresh and invigorating;
my existence was a song; my digeS-
ton excellent.
Now I have become a sniveling,
smuggling, snufhing idiot, all because
we moved to Twenty First and Del
aware SITS.
Now at dinner time, preferably at
weekend dinner times, when l am
entertaining a small dinner party,
instead Of the usual commonplace
hors de'oeuvre for my guests. 1 ar
range the unexpected, the unusual,
the unique, that touch of je ne sails
quai, which makes the perfect host

Guests Like the Noise
Usually the meal starts off with
just a minor accident, on the corner.
A rear tire is knocked off or hood
gently smashed in. Scarcely any
one is hurt. Of course, the noise is
bit nerve wrecking but the guests
seem to enjoy it.
After the main course which is
gulped between attacks of acute
nervous indigestion, we always have
what we call in this vicinity "bus
tarantella, that is, one bus executed
few original ideas of its own in the
middle of the street, which unfor-
tunately often involves a vital part
of some other car.
Within the past two weeks we
have had one car turn over COM

hit an east and west going sedan

or domestic security.
quite different is the type of
woman who, after the matri-
monial bark has crashed,
starts out on her own with the idea
Of being entirely independent of her
former husband. In many cases
she has a child or two for whom
she asks nothing.
However much of a relief She may
be from her parasitic sister. the Wo-
man who refuses or fails to have
awarded to her by court a reason
able amount to help support her
children is making a grave mistake.
Unless her ability is remarkable she
will find that supporting family
is a great responsibility and that in
attempting to do it without the as
Sistance to which her children are
entitled she is doing them serious
injustice.
Few men Of the right type would
fail to offer to meet this Obligation.
If they do fail, they should be forced
to do thier share.

no stop signs either on the west
side or the east side of Delaware st.
might have some faint connection
with the multiplicity of injuries to
life and property here. A young
man from Connersvlle was cut over
the eye in a minor accident which
demolished his car. Living in Con-
nersville, he should have known that
Delaware was a preferential street.
Nowadays a slam, bang, shrill
scream of breaks and crash of
glass, followed by Sickening thuds
mean only one thing in my life. But
if the strawberry SouGfle is particu-
larly tempting we casually enjoy our
dessert and the gentlemen a Corona

or a Chrysler this time.
Yours for bigger and better acct
dents. MARILYN.
P. S.-As I was writing this jere-
miad I heard the faint "tap-tap'
down on the street. Going to the
window I saw some young men put
ting up two feeble little stop signs
on either side of Delaware st. Now
if they will only place a couple of
metal topped stops signs in the as
phalt and a stop-go light at TIE in
tersection. life will be worth living
again.

Dear Martha Lee: I was going steadily
suddenly and did not say. anything about
me writing or calling. I haven't heard
from him since.
Do you think I would be out of place
to write or call him? I have no phone
for him to call me. I don't know what I
have done for him to act this way.
Babs, shouldn't worry too much
about this affair if I we're you. You
have not told me your age, but from
your handwriting I judge that you
are in your teens. Therefore, in my
opinion, you are too young to devote
all your time to one boy. Besides,
I think that the boy has been very
rude to you and you should certainly
wait until he looks you up of his
own accord and explains his curious
behavior It isn't up to you to make
the first move and you could do so
only at a great sacrifice of dignity.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-04-03

Dear Martha Lee, Ny husband and I
I have had to work continually to sup
port my 8-yearold child. At q life
seems a bad dream for me. I'm tired OF
work-everything But what ca l dq2
in a home for three years end get her
every week. VIII the homes take her in
this condition? l am not able to pay
doctor, and something must be done.
.Lorine, your problem is indeed a
great - one. I would suggest that
you get in touch with your husband
and try to arrange with him def
mite plan to help support your
child. 1t is not up to YOU to at
tempt this alone, and you cannot
possibly do justice to the child with
out assistance. If the child is in
need of medical attention you
should take her to a clinic. I be-
lieve that you can put her in day
nursery for a very nominal amount,
or even a free nursery. If you de-
eide to Go this be sure that you
select one of the nurseries operated
by reputable charitable organiza-
tions I shall be glad to help you
do this if you will inform me as
to your decision on the matter.

state. It was the single wedge that could cleaye the Republican rock that had withstood Demo crats' assaults for three score and ten years.
 When l entered the race Sen ator Ferris said afterward. "I had not the faintest hope of be- ing elected. I felt that only a miracle could win for me. How ever. 1 entered the campaign with all my strength, and decided to fight to the last ditch''
 One of the points raised by Re publicans against Mr. Ferris election was his age. and this drew a prompt and characteristic reply from him. "If age and phys ical condition are to be issues in this campaign" he said, "l'll put on the boxing gloves with Mr Townsend any time he wants to start"
 A log cabin on wooded farm near Spencer. Tioga county New York, was Mr Ferris birthplace, January 6, 1853. It was 6 time as he later said, when sewing ma- chimes and kerosene lamps were luxuries.
 Young Ferris early years were filled with hard work and school ing. The education was carried on, he said, with a degree of regularity that "defied storms and ordinary ailments" The first eight years of attending school he described as the horror of my | life" Yet he lived to become the founder of school that has more than 10000 graduates in the United States.
 Wife Also Teacher
 When he was II years of age the future United States senator entered Spencer Union Academy and from this point on his educa- tional progress was rapid. There | followed alternate periods of stu dent life and teaching at rural schools. At Oswego Normal, MT. 1 Ferris met Helen Frances Giles | pie to whom he was married De- cember 23, 1874, and a week later MT Ferris and his bride began teaching at the Spencer Academy. A year later they moved to Hi | noie and established the Frpeport Business College at Freeport, III.
 There followed years of vary ing success in educational work, including five years during which MT. Ferris was superintendent of schools at Pittsfleld, III They
