Hubby Who
Plays Single
Is LO9U Cad
BY MARTHA LEE

Perhaps the worlds meanest man
is the married chap who goes about
making friends with girls under the
guise of being single. It's an aw-
fully mean trick on his wife, but
1 believe it is even more malicious
to the single girls who are under
the impression that the man is an
eligible matrimonial prospect.
OF course, consciously, no girl
looks upon every man she meets as
prospective husband. Just ask a
group of girls and watch them fly
off the handle. But SubconsciouSly,
most unmarried girls who are at
the manageable age do that very
thing. 1t is as instructive as being
feminine.
Funny thing about the type Of
men who are up to tricks like that.
They usually are quite attractive
and of course very we'll verSed on
how to please q girl. And if the
girl does not suspect the fact that
he already is signed on the dotted
line. what's to prevent her from
falling in love with him, the same
as she would with any other at
tractive fellow who seems interested
in her welfare?
It's Bad for Girl
AS I say, it is caddish thing for
fellow to pull on his wife, but, If
possible. it is even more far-reach-
ing in its influence for bad upon
the girl who has been taken in COM
pletely.
Personally, a married man who
will make q play for young UNI
married girls is the last word in
what looks we'll in tar and feathers,
but married man who will travel
around disguised as a single fellow
who is looking for nice little home
body to marry is fit for boiling.
A young girl who has been duped
by one of these unmentionables
wrote the following letter:
Dear Miss Lee-I am % years old.

foolish; but he seemed 50 completely in

questions.
And three weeks ago I learned he was

Get Another Job
I know one can not control ones
feelings I know that often, after
loving someone as much as you say
you loved this man. it is impossible,
even in the face of such treachery
and deceit. to hate him. But OF
course. for your own good you must
put him out of your mind COM
pletely.
1t is foolish for you to torture
yourself seeing him every day at
the office. Seek employment else
where. Mingle with your old friends.
Go places where you will meet new
and interesting people. And shut
