DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
A discussion has come up be-

friends concerning the signature
Of q married woman, and to settle
the question correctly we are
coming to you with our problem.
What il the correct signature
on a business letter? / might
state that two of the girls insist

the finest things about human
nature is its desire to know
things and to take trouble to
find out what's what and why,
that sometimes / find myself
wondering what, Of all the ques-
tions that I answer, I would most
rather crusade for. For, as we
all know, there are certain things
that we do, certain things that
we say, that inevitably stamp US
as unmannerly, unknowning, nm

One Of the things that unmis-
takably shows the breeding and

When a woman signs letter
to her close friends, she would
probably sign it MARY, or, If
there were any doubt az to
which Mary, she would sign
MARY JONES. For less friendly
letters she would sign MARY

TOO SERIOUS
WOMEN
BY Lucy Lowell

r HAVE had opportunity lately
to observe one Of those like
able women who seem always
to be in hot water among their
friends and acquaintances about
the neighborhood.
This woman's trouble is not OF
a serious nature, having to do
mostly with bits Of criticism she
claims is directed her way from
time to time. 1t is not serious
criticism even as she sees it, be-
ing no more than a word here
and there. But she is sensitive
soul and easily upset.
She told me great deal about
1t at first and I felt extremely
sorry for her since she was more
or less at the mercy Of not too
kindly comment, as It seemed 70
me.
Later, on, however, I began to
wonder a little If some Of 1t were
not her own fault. And now /
am sure that at least 80 per cent
Of what goes on is her fault.
And I am wondering If this IL
not true in every case like hers.
To began with, as I said, the
woman Is sensitive. Consequent.
ly she is always weighing words,
considering looks, gestures, won

thing might be behind them.
And, as is always the case. Suf-
ficient brooding discloses to her
all sorts Of ulterior motives, hid.
den meanings, sights.
Not content with merely brood
ing, however, this woman win lay
hold of whatever it Is she fancies
has been critical and will peddle
it around. She will go from Mrs.
A to Mrs. D, telling Mrs. B what
Mrs. A said and asking Mrs. BIS
opinion. From her she will go
on to Mrs. c., repeating what
both Mrs. A and Mrs. b said and
adding her own ideas, conjectures,
comments. And perhaps from her
she will continue to Mrs. D, tell.
ing her story all over again with
Mrs. C's contribution.
OF course my friend cannot
help being In a furry all the
time. The best way to kill
criticism is to ignore it and the
best way to be happy is to stop
being sensitive.

Judgment should prevent the dan
ger of such. mismating.
Madge, at sixteen, for no par
ticular reason, married man OF
twenty-seven, who she did not
love. They have been married
ten years.
Madge loves gayety and parties.
Her husband never takes her any,
where and expects her to stay
home with the children while he
is away on long business trips
Yet he is good to her in many
ways, and for the sake of the
children she will not consider
divorce. She writes to ask what
she can do about it, whether she
must go on being miserable for
ever.
I'm afraid you will, Madge, ur'
less you, yourself, take the situa'
ton in hand. Most husbands
average about the same when 1t
comes to good qualities and flaws.
What a woman makes OF her
marriage depends on how we'll sat
isfied she is with her bargain.
If she does not love her husband
she sees nothing but his faults
and is bored to tears. The wife
who cares is interested, alert,
thrilled. Her affection binds her
to her mans faults and magnifies
his virtues.
Madge, having made her mis-.
take. must pay the price. But she
can greatly improve conditions.
She can occupy her life with her
children. Even though she is not
sentimentally in love with her
husband, she can develop beau
tiful friendship with him, and
that is, after all. what successful
marriages grow into.
Stop thinking of what might
have been, Madge; begin to make
the best of what Is. Pave the
way for happy wedding annivers-
aries. Let me see, how do they
run?
First wedding anniversary, cot
ton; second paper; third, leather;
fourth, silk; fifth, wood; sixth,
iron; seventh, wool; eighth,

Marriage does not fail. Only
husbands and wives, men and
women fail. You can make of
your marriage what you will.
Choose your helpmate wisely-one
capable of facing with you, not
separation and divorce but long
and happy married years.
After your marriage, the real
test of your love and wisdom will
begin. Which way will you and
he travel? Along the path to
happiness and contentment or
the other road leading to bitter.
ness and sorrow?
Look ahead to your wedding
anniversaries before you make
your decision regarding the right
man. Having chosen, resolve to
marry for keeps" Then your
wedding should prove pure gold
and lead, through treasure years
of unselfish devotion, achieve
ment and happiness, to the golden
