couldn't bear him. There again
you have the conceit of the male.
He doesn't really believe in his
heart that you do not care for
him.
Heaven knows what we men
think in such a case. We have
an idea that you are coy or
backward or just playing with
us. We just can't realize that
a nice girl would go with us, &C
cept our favors and withhold
her love. Our argument is al
ways that we love you so, of
course, you must love us. We
have sort of foolish notion that
as soon as we marry you it will
make things all right and that
you will just naturally love us.
The saddest marriage in the
world is this kind. The man
always trying to make the
woman love and the woman try
ing to be decent about it, but
showing in every action that she
is Indifferent or that she just
tolerateS him. Later the man
gets resentful even though the
marriage was his idea and then
he can hate with an unreason-
able ugly hate.
BY that time the woman has
children and can't get away. It
is better you spend a lifetime of
SingleneSS than marry under
such circumstances. It is in
your power to spoil two lives,
the mans and your own. Think
it over.

The Tall Stool

Use that tall stool which is
under your drainboard every
chance you ge. So many house
wives have these labor-saving
and faet-saving stools and then
forget to use them, while prepar-

duties. Once you get the habit
of pulling it out you will realize
how much less tired you are at

Dear George Antheil: I am
81 and the only unmarried girl
left in a group of six. AS I am
the Oldest girl in the family my
parents are set on me getting
married as soon as possible.
IT have been seeing a fellow
for the past two years who is in
Q position to get married and
who is very much in love with
me. have planned time and
again to break off with this fell
low, because even though l do
60 with him, I can't get used to
him. If he as much as puts his
arm around me, I turn cold. I
am not that kind of girl by ma
ture because enjoy being kissed
by other fellows.
eff I break off with him my
family will nag me to DEAN for
letting so nice a fellow go. They
are all crazy about him. My girl
friends think am crazy for
even thinking of breaking Up.
IT feel this way. I have been
used to dates since was Is and
always had plenty of beaLx. If
I break up with him, it will be
hard for me to find other fel-
lows now.
ITO think of staying home
and waiting for the telephone to
ring for a date is driving me
mad. I want to get married in
the worst way. Seeing all my
friends in their own homes
makes me shudder to think that
I may not get a husband if I
break with this boy. I can't
bear to think of just starting
out to look for a mate.

But another year passed and then

Margaret was only partly satisfied.

of the carpet.
"Marg! Mary's promised. We're

Slowly the look of horror left Mar

They We're married a month later.
They went to live in a new white
painted bungalow at the edge OF
town. They were happy because
they were in love. Mary was dark
haired and dark-eyed and had a
sense of humor and nothing both
cred her much. For the first time
in his life Eustice relaxed. Mary
never scolded him. She never re-

be careful of his cigarette ashes, or
to keep his clothes neatly hung in

Eustice was in the insurance busi-

ist before she married him, and
now he asked her if she'd help him
do some of his letters. She agreed
eagerly. 1t would help save Office
expense.
So everything was serene. A year
passed and Margaret outwardly re-
tracted her declaration that they
would never be happy, but Eustice
knew that wasn't what she thought.
It was the second December of
their union that Eustice came home
one evening, tired and cold, and
found that Mary had gone out to
dinner with her bridge club. She
left note and sink full of dishes.
Eustice washed the dishes and got
himself a cold supper. He went into
the bedroom to get his dressing
gown and found the bed unmade,
