FURNISHED HOUSE:
Because the lady Of the house
has to leave town for a few
months, she will be glad to sub
lease Ter very lovely home to
some nice family. This house
is located in a very fine resi-
dental section of the city, is of
brick and has six rooms, bath,
front and rear porcheS, detached
two-car garage. large attic and
lovely yard with a garden UNI
brella and chairs where many
pleasant hours could be spent.
The rear porch which is
screened in, is also comfortably
furnished with deck chairs and
tables. The reception hall,
which was quite large, and sep
arated the living and dining
rooms, held a baby grand piano.
chairs and tables. The living
room vas taStefully furnished
with a new up-to-date radio and
many other attractive pieces Of
furniture and oriental rugs. The.
dining room was quite spacious
and held a full sized dining
room suite. Oft this room was
the modern kitchen with cleo
trio refrigerator Gin the pantry
off the kitchen there is another
electric refrigerator), and a
breakfast set which would save
wear and tear on the dining
room. Going up the stairway,
which was off the reception
hall, I found a single bedroom
and two good size double rooms
and a white tile bath with por-
table shower. The bedrooms
were all very comfortably and
well furnished and across the
back of the house was an en-
closed .un porch with ten win
dows which was very bright and
would be an ideal place for re-
Taxation as it had a studio
couch and radio. This is a very
lovely home and I would sug.
gest you see it at once.
ROOM G. PRIVATE BATH:
Don't you agree with me that
this is a most reasonably priced
place to live. In a private home
there is a well.furnished room
with private bath which opens
onto a sleeping porch which
would also be at your disposal.

Never"
But if he hits me?'
Come away and leave him If he
does such a thing. 1t is disgraceful
to fight like dogs Boys are intelli-
gent and must not fight"
Soon afterward Robert came home
in a hurry with the gang at his heels
hooting and bowling his name with
unhappy combinations of words and
phrases. A shower of pebbles struck
the panels of the front door as he
slammed it behind him. He was
standing with his back to it, painting,
when his father rushed downstairs
to ask him what was the matter.
The fellows began rough-housing
and hit me, SO left and then they
chased me home, calling me names
and everything I told mother they
would and she didn't believe me-"
Whats this? You mean to say
you turned your back on gang
and ran home? You mean you ran
away?"
YES. Mother said I must And
they even took sticks and beat me
down the street. I'd like to wallop
few of them just once"
You go out and do it. Give them
all you have. The idea"
But mother said"
Never mind what she said. Do
you want to be chased home every
day with the dead cats flying at
your head and heels? Go right
back and lambaste the daylights out
Of them"
Robert needed no second order. He
was of with a whoop.
What is happening?" asked mother,
coming from the back Of the house.
Didn't hear Roberto"
You did and the rest Of the village
lads along with him Your son was
chased into his own doorway by the
whole gang. Ran for home like a
frightened rabbit. He said you told
him to. sent him back to knock the
stuffln' out of the crowd. And I'm bet
ting he'll do it. What's the idea of
making a coward of him? Want the
gang to pick his skin off, or what?"
This is something that must be ex-
pected in the lives of boys, aged 8 or
or 10. sometimes even older They
must show themselves ready and able
to hold their own. When they are at
tackled they must hit back and with
no uncertain aim. Punch and punch
hard. Otherwise they are bounded off
the playground and the street and
their lives made unbearable.
It is useless, as far as the boys hap
piness goes, for parents to protect their
children under these conditions. The
children must hold their own or lose
the respect of their associates. No, I
do not want to rear a race of pugilists.
The pugilists are a small percentage
Of the youth of the Nation, but the
self lf-defenders, the upright, self-sus-
tanning lads are the backbone of the
country. They don't get that way by
running with the gang at their heels.
They head the gang or they lose out

So much depends on personalities,

are that courtesy and consideration

Care
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: In sending
~ wedding invitations to men in
the same Office with whom the BRIDE
groom-to-be has been associated for
a long period Of time, Is it necessary
to include their wives? 1t seems to
me the common-sense method would
be to address the invitation to the
men alone at the Office, since the
wives are not known to their hus-
bands associates and the Office is the
common ground upon which their
friendship has been made.
Answer-I agree with you that II
would seem sensible to forget the
unknown wives, and ask the men
alone, but, according to etiquette
particularly If the wedding is to take
place after business hours-invita-
tions to married men should be ad-
dressed in each case to Mr.. and
Mrs." and yet, when the wives are
total strangers, 1t is the custom ir
many communities to send the invita-
tions to the Office and consider all
Of the men as bachelors, who make
the wedding q special Office even,
and all 60 together in a body. Ever
so, 1t would be more polite to address
the envelopes Mr.. and Mrs. and senc
them to the Office and let each mar
make it an Office or a family event
as he thinks best.

and my family feels that my husband

happy and hurt. Also, what have to
give to my family makes it impossible
for me to have decent clothes. I don't
look snappy as used to when I was
on my own and notice that my hus-
band is beginning to perk up in the
presence Of pretty, well-dressed girls.
What must do?
A TROUBLED WIFE.
Answer-You can't let your mother
want. It is your duty to take care
Of her, but your husband Is certainly
under no obligation to support your
able bodied brother and sister.
OF course, as long as your mother
lives in her own home she will pro-
vide for her derelicts, for mothers
have prediction for their black
sheep children anc are always willing
to sacrifice their good children to
them Hence you will have to put
your mother in boarding house or
take her to live with you if you do
not wish to provide for brother and
sister and the children.
There is no problem in the world
that has more hesrtbreak in it for
woman than to realize that she is
making her husband a living sacri-
fice to her family. She may have
been willing to toll to support them
herself, even when she knew that
they were grating upon her, but it
is the humiliation Of humiliationS
for her to know that they are leeches
who have settled upon her husband
and are sucking his life blood.
More than that, she feels that It is
not fair to him to be burdened with
her people. 1t is hard enough for
a man to support his own family
without having to take care Of his
wife's. yet she does not know which
way to turn in her dilemma. Nor
what she can do without cheating
him. For if she even goes back to
work to earn the money to give them
herself she deprives him Of the serv-
ices and attentions that he has a right
to expect in wife.
It is a problem that takes much
love and forebearance and sympathy
on the part of both husband and
wife to settle. He must recognize his
wife's obligations to her people and
she should make the drain upon him
as light as possible by forcing all
those who are able to do so to go
to work and support themselves.

this is, of course, up to the individual

the fact that they like to take their
evenings out together, naturally, and
that leaves the family to prepare the
evening meal themselves. However,
that is really very minor point, and

AL the cooking is in her charge, OF

The maids duties consist of light

house and the bedmaking. "a woman
should be called in extra to do the

keeps her pantry in order and cleans
