MARYE and MON
THEIR LETTERS
Dearest Nom:

Dearest Nom:
Florence is on her way, none
too happily. She probably will see
you before you receive this letter.
The. old home town will look rath-
er small and seedy.
So I know you will be sweet to
her, even if she lets out a bitter
word now and then.
1t wasn't only leaving that
caused Florence's face to assume
the expression of an early Chris
tian martyr about to go forth to
feed a lion-it was leaving Mich
clio, right at the time when she
had him going.
But I think it was just as we'll
for her that she left. Michele is
not so much a man as he is a type.
BY leaving as she did, she always
can cherish the comforting illusion
that If she had just stuck around,
and worked her feminine wiles,
Michele would eventually have
begged the honor of escorting her
to the altar.
Naturally there ~7asn't a China
mans chance of this. She would
have just become more hopelessly
sunk, and he would have walked
out with his characteristic grace
and gallantry.
And while she nursed a broken
heart, and ruined her LOOKS weep
ing and emoting, he would have
been sending roses to other women,
looking soulfully into their eyes,
and reciting the sort of poetry that
makes a man of Alan's type for the
nearest exit.
I maintain Florence is the win
ner, as things stand now. When
she marries some nice salesman,
whose energies will be devoted to
paying bills rather than paying
compliments, she will have a nice
romantic memory to play with.
Certainly every woman should
have had the experience of having
loved and lost an artist or a poet.
It is sort of an initiation into life.
Living, as I did, in a small town,
where poets and artists were scarce,
I missed a lot Of this sort of thing.
That's the reason Pede appeals
so to me now. He has all the ro-
nance and the beauty in his soul
that I never had a chance to de-
velop in mine.
I believe that women who have
to go through life without diamonds
and automobiles are not nearly so
unfortunate and so much to be
pitied as those who have never had
sonnets written to their eyes, and
had artists, with beautiful, slender
fingers beg to immortalize them on
canvas.
AS I look around, It seems to me
that lot of women I see, who have
all the evidences of wealth. look
very hard and bitter, as though they
we're striving for something they
never had-and the other day I
met a woman at Michello's studio,
who I was told has been adored by
all the artists and writer's of this
generation. She had something, and
It wasn't beauty and 1t wasn't
clothes. I was interested.
Do write and tell me all about
Florence. Lovingly,
MARYE.

then able to laugh at himself
because he made himself ridic-
ulous.
Many women play bridge,
and many women make small
'bonehead" plays. But try to find
the woman who can laugh softly at
her mistake instead of getting mad
at herself.
Of course, you have met persons
like these who can laugh. And now
admit that you like them better
than the others. I do.
The ability to laugh at yourself
will some day save you from utter
ruin.
That recalls little incident that
happened to me this week. I had
an appointment to meet friend
at the Office at 5 o'clock.
The hour came and passed, and
at 5:45 left. The friend came at
6 and waited until almost 7, I found
out later.
OF course, 1 was mad" at the
friend, just popping mad. "Why
can't she keep her appointments, !"
I raved to myself.
Getting mad" putome into a very
unpleasant frame of mind I didn't
enjoy my dinner that evening as I
should.
The next day the friend called
me on the phone. She, too, was
mad" ut seems to me you could
have at least been there on time"
she said.
There were other words, and
finally feared our long friendship
would be blasted by the argument.
But the thing that struck me
as funny was the fact that both
thought the other was late.
Then we discovered that she came
to the Office on Central Standard
time, while The indianapolis Times
operates on daylight saving time.
My friend thought it was one of
the funniest mistakes we ever had
made. She laughed about it.
Her laughter was infectious. Soon
was laughing over our mutual
blunder. The friendship was saved.
I'm sure you can recall incidents
like that, too, where a laugh saved
the day for every one.
But sometimes we become so in
volved that we can't laugh. Then
1t takes a human effort to
make the old smile pop out.
have in mind a problem brought
out in the following letter:
Dear Martha Lee: I have a 15-year-oId
daughter, and have been married to my
second husband more than five years.
My husband seems very much devoted
to his stepdaughter. and it seems he
doesn't seem to care for me so much as he
old when we were married.
I am afraid he is in love with his STEP
daughter He loves and kisses her more
than he does me, and he never tells me he
loves me any more. I am losing confidence
In him.
But he is a good husband. He gives us
almost anything we want and gives us
good home. He Is a home-ioVing man and
don't run around with other women.
From the way he acts with my daughter
makes me suspicious, and I believe he Is

NEW YORK, May 30.-It's lilac
time in Central Park; hurdy-gurdy
time on the East Side; the season
for putting pansies in the gaily
colored window boxes in Greenwich
Village and, of course, new-clothes
time all over Gotham.
Seeing them up and down Park
Ave, in the smart little shops on
cross streets and lunching in Mar
guery's or Pierre's makes the fact
apparent. Getting down to funda-
mentals, it seems to me that the
union of smartness and usefulness
in frocks is the elusive secret.
