Here is letter from a woman
who has made a series of hasty
mistakes, and who feels that to
make a fresh series would be the
way out.
II am 49, writes Em-Bee, from
Indianapolis. 81 was married at
10, and have two sons, seven and
four. That first marriage was a
girls mistake; Ted seemed to me
the epitome of everything that was
wonderful, but I was too much of
kid really to judge a man as a
husband. We were miserable from
the start, quarreling, making it up,
quarreling again. One of my babies
was delicate and the other unman-
ageable, and we had very little
money.
'"Ted's mother came to stay with
us and ran things generally. She
ran them so well that she ran me
out and ! went home to my step
mother, as ] cannot stand the man
my own mother married after di-
vorcing my father. We lived at an
army post and I became intimate
with an officer who was married
man. don't excuse this, but I was
carried away by his devotion to
lonely, bewildered girl of "a. This
gave Ted an excuse to ask for COM
plete guardianship of the boys,
which was granted him. Floyd's
wife divorced him and we were
married.
''Ted died last December and his
mother has my boys. They come to
see me now and then, but we are
strangers. My husband does not
understand how a mother feels
about her children. We have been
married three years and as yet I
have no hope of another child.
Ted's mother, who is well fixed,
says she is going to take the boys
to another city and place them in
school, and Floyd feels that that is
a good thing for them. But they
are mine, mine, mine, and will
not have them carried about as if
they had no mother.
Can't Help Her.
ION the other hand, we have only
Floyd's pay, not sufficient for the
many expenses connected with two
growing boys. I feel strongly that
I have made many mistakes in
handling my life, and am anxious
not to make any more.
What do you think of my present
plan Of going to Reno for divorce,
asking an alinony that will permit
me to learn a profession that will
support my children, and suing my
mother-in-law for their custody?
Does that seem the best thing?"
Em-Bee is not speaking honestly
when she says this, nor when she
speaks Of mothers feeling for her
children. Having broken up her own
life and Floyd's and Ted's and the
children's, no advice will save her
now from crashing ahead into fur

To keep your pie crust short,

cold, too, and when handling the

you can, to keep the heat from

eral times while rolling to help

the pastry into the pan. Make it
large enough before fitting into

Pie crust should be baked
quickly on the lower shelf of the
oven to prevent sogginess. The
intense heat of the oven expands
the cold liquid in pastry into

tBen syndicate-wNu Service,

NNE of the hardest lessons
for an American woman
~ to learn is to leave any,
thing to time. We are an impa-
tient people, and whatever we
do must be accomplished in a
very fury of speed. Hundreds
of women go to Reno for di-
vorces every year, only to
plunge into fresh matrimonial
experiments the moment they
are free. Decisions that should
be made only after months or
even years Of planning and
praying, they reach in a few mo-
ments. Having failed conspicu-
ously in one attempt at wife
hood, they plunge into another,
sure that if happiness doesn't
wait on one pathway it must on
some other.
But happiness and charac-
ter and success in marriage
are things of slow growth. They
are never ready-made. It takes
months and sometimes years OF
patient effort to work out even the
simplest domestic problem, and in
these days almost no marital prob
lem is simple. Impatience and
marriage never mix.
Threats of European conquest and
invasion from sea or air have never
given me a moments concern. But
the destruction of that all-important
thing-American marriage-through
the hasty and ill-considered action
of husbands and wives who flock to
divorce courts at the first sign of
trouble, is a real blow at the safety
of the nation.
Divorce Is an Evil.
Divorce is not a solution, it is an
unmitigated evil and it ought to be
used sparingly, like the poisonous
drugs that help pain, or the sur
geon's knife that is employed only
in the last emergency.
Unless this national failing is
somewhat lessened, we are going to
be a nation without homes; and
nation without homes is no nation at
all.
It doesn't hurt children to grow
up in the care of a mother who is
silently enduring difficulties and in
justices. 1t hurts them irreparably
to be told by their mother that
Daddy is bad man; and by Dad
dy's mother that their own mother
is so selfish and vain that poor Dad
dy had to leave her.
In the beginning the men and
women who contemplate divorce al
ways assert eagerly that there will
not be this sort Of criticism before
the children. But when those chill
dren, missing their father, shifted
uncomfortably about, trying to ac-
custom themselves to q stepfather.
ask wistfully why their own Daddy
has gone away, then Mother has to
take a defensive attitude.
So she tells them how mean
Daddy was to her, wouldn't give
her any money, and liked another
lady better than Mummy, and twist
ed her arm. And when they tell
their paternal grandmother this she
can only counter majestically,
s'Well, Mummy doesn't always say
what's true, dear. She was very
unlkind to poor Daddy. Don't be-
lieve everything Mummy says"
The army of the children of di-
vorced parents that's the army we
ought TO fear. What possible train
ing in self-control, consideration,
patience can they derive from the
iIl-disciplined man and woman they
call their parents? And how find
happiness against background Of
changes, determinations. charges
and countercharges?
