to Just one more Mary?'"
The only suggestion I can make
is that there Is a reason for this
mans moods, and that when It is
found and diagnosed, like any bodily
sickness, Mary will find that she is
halfway to the cure.
1t may indeed be physical. It
sounds very much like stomach ul-
GERS or colitis or any one of the sim
liar ailments that so often attack
men whose habits are sedentary and
who eat heartily. If Larry can be
persuaded to walk two miles q day,
eat Light dinner, and substitute for
rich desserts the invaluable orange,
apple, saucer Of prunes or compete
OF raw fruits, he may find life taking
on q much roster color.
Trouble Probably Mental.

trouble Ii mental. He In carrying

would be his natural thought.
That boys DON'T usually help out,
and are much less reliable as mon
ey-earners than girls are, doesn't
often occur to the father of daugh-
ters. But that's an aside.
The cure for Mary's problem
might come through a move indeed,
but a move to simpler and less ex-
pensive rather than finer quarters.
1t might come through a determined
lessening of expenses, rather than
an increase In them. It might come
II the twins started talking less of
college and sorority days and more

the girls all talked honestly to Papa,

II they gave Papa q chance to do
q little gardening, to split wood and

There Is escape for all of us from

A wife and four daughters, when
the man of the house Is the only
bread-winner, shouldn't have q
maid. Larry's family has one, and
often, for part-time, another. Girls
in such family should be busy put
ting up fruit to sell, or taking after
school jobs in frock shops or tea
rooms. A mother like Mary should
be talking of resources, not of con-
slant needs. II she found some
weather-beaten old place outside the
city, painted 1t with the girls as
sistance, opened a lunchroom, took
couple of small children to board,
started a bank account of her own,
from which to supply her daughters
the luxuries they want, she might
find the man Of the house a changed

about Hollywood has as its hero the
late Grover Jones, author of many a

Some years ago he and his wife,
who were childless, went to The
Cradle, in Chicago, to adopt one.
The superintendent showed them
hundreds of babies.
How about that one?" asked
Jones, pointing to a child with
crossed eyes.
