lsritste Young Wife
Dride Frsnkly Admits She Is Not Pleasant
Companion Because Mates Habits Annoy Her
BY CYNTHIA GREY

Women complain about cruelty stinginess unfath-
1uness and number Of other serious masculine mperfec-
6ons but the truth told wives would confess
INIT little things often the forerunners of the big
ones that lead to divorce.
Il is surprising to know that many are harborng
hidden resentment, irritation and minor
matters Table Manners for instance get wives down
than do number of more serious matters.
A wife writes:

/ What's to do about II.
RAW NERVES.
Well. I'm going TO declare
against you and say that my
sympathics are all with your hus-
band.
You are harboring irritation and
resentment and AZ a result are
building up a nice little perpetual
Crouch that will have lot to do
with leading to more serious
trouble later on.
II you don't like to see your
husband follow q desired bit of
food with a foraging finger. TELL
HIM so but don't smile and at
the same time be giving him .
mental beating that Is terrific.
Petting
Dear Miss Grey: / suppose !
win sound SNUG and self-satisfied
to many girls who read this but
because 1t concerns q topic of
interest to most girls I am going
to express myself.
It IL about petting and familiar
ity and ~ ! happen to have three
brothers / feel qualified to speak.
I am eighteen 30 am not a child
and should know a little Of what
I am talking about.
It II . usual thing. I believe.
for you to get letters from girls
who declare that II they refuse
to pet the boys won't ask them
TO 20 out and that sooner than
stay home all the time a girl will
let 4 fellow hug and kiss her even
II she doesn't like 1t.
Because have three brothers I
know this is foolish assertion
for any girl to make, for have
In on many conversations
In my home and have noticed that
my brothers they are all older
than II respect and admire the
girls they can't meek" with.
There In one girl the whole three
Of them like better than any other
girl they know and she is the
kind Of girl who refuses to let
herself be paved over. She is
just a good fellow" and the boys
try to beat each Others time in
getting dates with her.
Another thing ! have noticed.
Ny brothers have an easy con-
tempt for the girl who Is too free
with her kisses and petting. No
matter how pretty she is, II she
acks a certain amount Of reserve
hat men demand In a woman. she
never rates ~ high rs the inde-
pendent girl who manages to hold
On to her self-respect and yet
to have = good time, too.
am glad have older brothers.
A girl learns q lot by listening
10 their opinions. I don't mean
By that, a girl should not think for
herself, but I do think it behooves
her TO abide by her brothers de-
cisions 80 far as conduct around
men and boys IL concerned.
Because my brothers have In
stiiied in me q horror of ever
having any fellow make as much
fun Of me as ! have heard them
make of easy girls--I have made
il a rule to 70 in for mo petting.
have rs many dates as any
Of the other girls. 80 that Is why
I can't take a girl seriously when
she says a fellow won't date a
girl out II she won't pet. Only 4
few boys are like that. When ]
meet one Of them I am glad to |
find It out and believe me, l never |
worry when he does not ask me

sistance to the water made it I'M
wieldy.
And then Doris, out OF necessity,
learned caution. She found by lay
ing the net down at the bottom of
the lake and propping the handle
so she could catch it up quickly,
that if she waited long enough the
fish got used to the net and, I'M
frightened, came back to swim
over 1t. Then, with a quick mo-
ton, Doris could lift the net.
Success
The first quick lift produced
three fish. Perhaps a quarter Of
a pound in weight in all.
Doris restrained her eagerness
TO run back to the fire and cook
the fish in some way. Maybe as
day advanced the fish would go
back from the edge into the deeper
part of the lake.
Then there wouldn't be any pos
sibility of getting them out. She
must stay right where she was,
even though faint from hunger,
until she had Melted all the fish
she could.
Doris was tired, besides being
wet from head to foot when she
left the lakes edge and scrambled
up to the camp where the men still
slept. But she was triumphant
She had caught more than 20 fish
even though she had paid dearly
for them in comfort.
1t had taken long while but she
had enough to make a good meal II
she could find some way to cook
them.
That, too, proved easy enough.
Steve was just waking up when
Doris came back to the fire. He
sat up with establishment at sight
of what she carried.
I've been fishing" Doris an
nounced. her voice trembling with
eagerness. Look. Isn't this Won
derful? There must be three or
four pounds of them. See this fell
low. He's six inches long, any,
way"
"Bluegills," Steve said wonder
ingly. They're the most beautiful
things I've ever seen. How'd you
catch them ?"
