As to the contention that every
woman who has grounds for divorce
should get one, take the purely prac-
tlcal position that when she does so,
in nine times out of ten she merely
jumps from the frying pan into the
fire and makes bad matter worse. OF
course, when the husband is desper-
ately in love with some other woman,
the wife has little choice in the mat
ter except to give him up.
She cannot hope for happiness with
man who hates her because she is
standing between him and the woman
he loves. Neither can she expect to
win him back, because his heart is
with another. And so her dignity and
sef-respect demand that she not hold
on to one who is trying to rid himself
of her.
But the great majority of philan-
derers are just women-chasers. They
are incapable of any deep feeling and
probably love their wives as we'll as
they could any one else. All they
want to do is to amuse themselves
and show that they are devils among
the ladies. In such case the wife
is foolish to break up her home and
half-orphan her children just because
her husband is flirting with some plat
inum blond. She gives up all the
perquisites of marriage that even an
Indifferent husband provides, and
often luxurious living is a consolation
prize worth having in a case where the
marriage is a failure. And in the
end, the poor wandering prodigal
nearly always comes back to home and
mother.
MY summing up of the divorce mat
ter is this: If woman has fortune
of her own, she doesn't have to stand
philandering husband unless she
wants. If she has no way to support
herself and her children, she doesn't
have to stand philandering hus-
band either, but she is a wise woman,
as a general thing, if she does

The Value
OF Money
He Must Learn to

AS to Save.
BY ANGELO PATRI.
WHERE is your Christmas money

NV ,
w Ruth?"
In my little bag upstairs,
mother"
We'll, bring it down when you get
your things and we will go down to
the bank and put 1t all in 1t will be
nice to save it, won't it? Then granny
and uncle and Aunt Tillie will be so
pleased to think that those dollars
they gave you are growing in the
bank. Some day you are going to
need them to go to college, or for
your trousseau. Won't it be nice to
think of that money waiting for you
then?"
"Ye-e-es. I suppose so, mother"
Don't you want to put it in the
bank? Surely you don't want to
waste it?"
"No-o-o. But I would like to spend
Just little"
What for, for pity sake? You
have everything you need. Hats,
coats, dresses, food, toys. What
for?"
I'D like, just for fun, to 60 to the
store and buy whatever 1 liked. With
one dollar. Couldn't I spend Just
one of the dollars?"
Well, of course, it is your money
and if you want to spend it instead
Of saving it--I don't approve of it.
But you can do as you like"
I'D like to spend just the one
dollar any way liked. You can put
the rest in the bank for me when
you co."
Ruth took the dollar and went to
the shop, She had an air of being
about her own business and knowing
precisely what it was. She asked for
the counter where combs were sold,
and bought small gray comb.
Then she went to the stand where
pipe cleaners were on sale and
bought three punches. Next she got
package of needles and was par
ticular about their being very long,
f1ne, shiny, and with large eyes. At
the candy counter she bought little
Jar of lemon drops.
Where are the things you need
for dogs?" she asked and, going to
the back of the room, she bought a
little yellow dish marked in big black
letters, Dog" The last purchase was
. small pad with little pencil at
tached; Kitchen Reminder" the
cover said.
I've got something for everybody" :"
she said when she arrived at home
carrying the bundles. Something I
heard you wish for, except Prince,
and I just know he will love it, any
way. The little comb is for you, Aunt
Tillie. I heard you looking for one
last week. The pipe cleaners are for
uncle. The needles for granny.
Look at their big eyes, gran. Here's
a jar of lemon drops so when you
wake up in the night and cough you
can take one, daddy, as you always
do. Prince, here's your dish so you
won't break any more of mothers.
And the order pad is for you, mother,
cause you're always looking for a
paper and pencil when the grocery
boy comes. Don't you like them?
I've had such fun buying them. I
just knew you would And here's
twenty cents left for the bank,
mother"
Saving is good, but children have
to spend, too; and Ruth's idea was
not SO bad She had fun both ways,
spending and giving, and that's my
idea of a perfect Christmas spirit.

Dorothy Dix Says
Men Are as Much Bound to Keep
The Marriage Vows as Women.

~ EAR MISS DIX - We have
been hearing heated dis
cussions between men and
women on whether it is
worse for wife to be unfaithful to
her husband than it is for him to be
unfaithful to her. Also. the ques-
ton is under debate as to whether a
woman who has a philandering hus-
band should fight to keep him and
win him back I, personally, feel that
wife should never degrade herself
by continuing to live with a husband
who is such contemplate cad as to
have affairs with other women, and
l don't see how any decent woman
can do SO. Will you please give us
your honest personal views on these
questions. MRS. X.
Answer - From a strictly ethical
standpoint a man is just as much
bound to keep his marriage VOWS and
is as blamable when he breaks them
as is woman, but it is foolish to
contend that men and women stand
on the same plane in such matters.
God did not create them that way.
He ordained that women should bear
the heaviest responsibilities and pay
the highest price in all matters per-
tanning to it.
1t is a criminal thing for either a
husband or wife to betray the other,
but think it is worse for the woman
to do SO than for the man, for these
reasons: Cd Because custom and ira
dition have made woman the GUS
todian of the morals and ideals of
the race. We expect more of her
than we do of man, and when she
lowers her standards she let's us all
down. No one will deny that when a
woman sinks into the pit she goes
deeper than a man does.
CD A mans affairs with women
are often just casual gallantries, with
no feeling in them besides a desire
for excitement and amusement. Many
man is unfaithful to his wife he
still loves; but a woman rarely, if
ever, has affairs with men until she
has ceased to love her husband and
let go all hold on her principles.
(3) An immoral mothers influence
on her children is far worse than that
OF an immoral father. Social workers
tell us that when children find out
that their mother is not a virtuous
woman they 60 all to pieces and lose
their belief in everything that is good.
On the other hand, good mother can
generally keep her children from even
being smirched by their fathers con-
duct, even if it is reprehensible.
X X X X
WHETHER man should forgive an
erring wife and take her back
depends altogether on whether he loves
her enough to forgive her and forget,
and believes that she, has repented,
and is going to run straight in the
future. Many men do this, and the
reunited couple lives happily ever
after. We have gotten broad enough
and tolerant enough in these days to
realize that women are human, even
as men are, with the same emotions
that they are not always strong enough
to control.

} For Quick Cough
} Relief, Mix This
) Remedy, at Home
No Cooking. No Work. Real Saw

Here's an old home remedy your
mother used, but. for real results, it
is still the best thing ever known for
coughs that start from colds. Try it
once, and you'll swear by it.
It's no trouble at all. Make a syrup
by stirring 2 cups of granulated sugar
and one cup of water a few moments
until dissolved. No cooking is needed
a child could do it.
Now put 21a ounces of Pinex into a
pint bottle, and add your syrup. This
gives you full pint of actually better
cough remedy than you could buy
ready-made for four times the money.
1t keeps perfectly, tastes fine, and lasts
family long time.
And there is positively nothing like
it for quick action. You can feel it
take hold instantly. 1t loosens the
phlegm, soothes the infamed MEM
branes, and helps clear the air passages.
No cough remedy, at any price, could
be more effective.
Pinex is concentrated compound of
Norway Pine. famous for its prompt ac-
tion on throat and bronchial mem a
branes. Money refunded if it n
doesn't please you in every way. -
