Wives Face
Problem Of
Adjustment
BY RUTH MILLETT

For many war wife the first
year Or two aftetr the return OF
her husband may be a more diff
cult period of adjustment than the
years of separation endured while
the war lasted.
For she thinks during the sepa-
ration that all of her problems will
be solved the day her husband re-
turns to her. AS a matter-of-fact,
she may be faced with whole new
set of problems with no comforting
philosophy to keep up her sourage.
No less an authority than Col.
William c. Menninger,- chief of the
Division of Neuropsychiarty of the
Office of the Surgeon General, says
that the man sent to war may be a
problem after he gets home, even
though he never left this country
and even though he is just an
average veteran, and not one dis
charged as a psychoneurotic.
The reasons for this, says Col.
Menninger, are that service men
will come back different fellows
because they'll all have known
some degrees of stress. They'll be
more aggressive, more restless,
full of indecision.
WANTS HIGH PAY
And he goes on to point out:
The veteran has heard of $1OO-a-
week jobs. He's going to look for
them-and they'll be scarce. Also,
somebody has fed and clothed and
paid him for two or three years.
There has been no way for him
to get into serious economic diff
culties. He's had a philosophy of
living from day to day with no
sense of responsibility for anybody
else. Even the allotments to his
family came out of his pay auto
matically. It will be hard for him
to settle down."
That doesn't sound as though
all Of wife's problems are going
to be over as soon as her husband
returns to her. 1t sounds as though
in many cases she is going to trade
loneliness and worry for the Job
of helping a restless, disillusioned
man settle down and make a place
for himself in life.
And there'n be little happiness
for the wife until the problem is
solved. For no woman can be- hap
Ply with her lot in life unless she
believes her husband is salts
fled with his.

mails trapped each year In the
United States?-W. r. S.

mails, not including ranch-raised
animals, are trapped annually in a

ably far below the annual number
taken because many States do not
keep complete records.

"Oh, l don't know" Miss Aldrich coun-

was probably right. In the ten years since
she'd left her native Memphis she hadn't
learned much - certainly not how to get
ahead. But for that matter, she hadn't
learned much in Memphis either.
She blamed great deal upon her name -
Sally Lou. When you were named Sally Lou
and came from Memphis, people expected
you to be belle; to be winning and amusing

finger. Miss Aldrich had always been shy and
reserved to the point of self-effacement. Now.
at thirty-two, her profile was clean-cut and
symmetrical, her skin clear and fine, her eyes
dark blue and dreamy. and her soft brown
hair waved naturally But few people noticed
these points Miss Aldrich didn't notice them
herself She thought that if her skirt was
dressed. her blouse crisply Numbered. her
heels not run over, and the seams OF her stock
ings straight, she had done the lot.
WHEN the roses were in the refrigerator
and she had made sure they could be seen
from the street, and Gershman had gone out
again. Miss Aldrich settled down to her ac-
counts She expected the roses would 60
quickly. During the morning several people
did come in to look at them. but they went
out without buying. 1t was not until just after
lunch that the first customer arrived.
Miss Aldrich had jotted down longish
column of figures and was faced with the
fact of adding them up - an arduous task
for her - when the door opened. A young.
arrogant voice severed her from her occupa-
ton.
Thank. God you've got some roses! I've
looked everywhere. Now why can't we have
roses, can you tell me? We're surely not
lendleasing them to Timbuktu"
Its because of the scarcity of labor"
said Miss Aldrich mildly.
"Oh, laborv' said the girl. "Pfui! want a
Dozen"
Miss Aldrich lifted the jar of roses out of
the refrigerator and set it on the counter.
This was the type of young girl who frankly
terrified her. Not because of her sables and
the aura of luxury she radiated; in Miss

Nv unpacked the roses. why, MIR.
oVo Gershman." she cried, wherever did
you get them? do declare you're the smart
est man in New York;"
Gershman deprecated this, but he was
pleased. The florist shop which he owned
and where Miss Aldrich worked was modest
one, though it boasted Park Avenue adj
dress In other days, it would have been in
riotous bloom. Where once the window had
been a rainbow dream of color, now were
only the sober greens of foliage plants, hope

gadgets. Even the big pretentious florists
farther up the Avenue displayed only few
pallid gladioi and stray orchid or two.
New York. on this mid-September Friday,
year of the war 1913. was almost aowerless.
So Gershman. in securing three dozen roses,
had made a coup; in securing three dozen
American Beauties, long off the market, he
had even made coup d'etat. An amateur
over in Jersey had grown them. Cershman
had just happened to run across him and had
seized the chance to persuade him to sell the

hope for"

Aldrich. trying to be oonsoling, for some

Mr.. Jaffray was the little shops best Gus
