it does not like music; it has had
no instruction; its voice has been

but will not now; its voice blends
better with some other voice; it
never sings except to itself; it sings
but not those tunes. Where among

According to these physicians,
none of their cases Of cold women
contained evidence of a husband
who was a great lover. All Of them
were men who, after a while, simply
accepted their disadvantages. The
husbands could be said to lack the
technique, if not the concept of
love making.
Dear Jane Jordan - I love a
married man. His wife won't give
him up. Shall I have it out with
her or shall I go on seeing him
secretly? THE OTHER WOMAN.
Answer-How in the world you
expect me to answer so brief a
question without knowing anything
whatsoever sof the circumstances
or the people involved, do not
know.
You force me to give you coldly
conventional answer, in which there
is usually much truth. That is:
There is generally more grief than
joy in loving a man who is bound
to another.
No woman is completely happy
in a love which she can not &C
knowledge to the world. No man
gets out of a marriage agreement
without horrid complications and
considerable pain.
It is true that a secret love has
been the only release from torment
available for many a married man.
1t is also true that most of them
only play with another girl for the
fun of it and are horribly annoyed
when she makes her claims felt.
How can I pick out your case
from all the mountainous ramitica-
lions of the eternal triangle and
utter words of wisdom about stu
alton on which I have not one
CLEAN of light?
Dear Jane Jordan-I just feel
as if I should write to you, not
for advice, but to help other mar
ried people. I am now 10 and
have been married one year.
have the sweetest husband ever.
We have a lovely home and fur
niture, nothing very expensive but
we love it.
We have never had quarrel or
short words. We have had a pretty
good income until now. My nus
band is on strike at Real Silk,
but we are awfully happy, and I
know other people could be too if
they would try. I read your
column every day and I really get
disguised at the weakness of most
of the women. When they have
a good man they can't appreciate
him. D1MPLES.
Wouldn't it have been
more help if you had told some of
your methods Of dealing with each
other to avoid difficulties?

Dear Jane JOrdan-I am writing
in answer to a letter Of fellow
who signed himself Gust About
Married" I know just how he
feels for I met my husband
through letters, too. He was in
the navy and a girl friend gave
him my address. We started writ
ing in August of 1921 and wrote a
year. Then he came home in
March of 1923 and we went to-
gether ten weeks and were mar
ried.
We get along wonderfully and
have four boys. My advice to you
and your little girl friend is meet
each other. The minute you see
her you will soon know whether
you love her or not. You won't
run any more risk marrying the
girl you got acquainted with
through letters than you would if
you went with her quite a while.
A SAILORS WIFE.
Answer feel that your case is
quite different from the couples who
marry each other on first sight after
a satisfactory correspondence. You
waited ten weeks to corroborate your
judgment before you called in the
minister. 1 believe that it would pay
the young man who is going to
Canada for an unknown bride to
follow your example and give him
self time to get acquainted with the
girl and her family.
