 For the benefit of anyone who might hesitate to pledge 12 hours pay because of the prospect of his leaving the E. B. Co.,, it describes the provision made on the pledgee card for automatic cancellation of the pledge of any contributor leaving or being laid off.

Under the heading Hopes Column" Spear and Robinson are pictured over the caption, "The War Fund wants the biggest check you can write that won't bounce.'

Dear Dorothy Dix: I am a mar
ried man "a years of age. Have been
married for eight years to woman
who has been faithful, Industrious,
good companion. and we have been
very happy together. Since the war
she has worked on the night shift
in a defense plant in a nearby city
and has only been able to come
home for Sundays. I also work in
defense plant, but in our own home
town, and my job is a day one. This
makes it so that we only get to see
each other occasionally.
The problem is that a girl of 10,
who is a friend of my wife'S, has
been living in our house and she
has fallen in love with me. I had
never thought of her that way, but
now I don't know whether I am
falling in love with her or not. If
my wife and 1 could live together, we
would both be happy. And if we had
children there wouldn't be any room
in my mind for doubt about the
other woman AS it is, don't know
what to do. Can you enlighten me
in any way? L. z.
Answer-Yes, I think I can. My
earnest advice to both you and your
wife is for her to give up her job
and come back to live with you so
that you can have a normal family
life, and send the pretty young girl
scooting.
That will save the happiness of
three people, for in the end every
one of you is bound to be the victim

(ThdnkS to Mrs. M. G.. T.,
WdShiuoton.l

Mrs. T. j. K. is right to object to
the custom here of Office parties
between men, usually married, and
their women coworkers. Many take
place in cocktail lounges and night
clubs as we'll as in Office, and cause
much unhappiness.
The girl who suggests or plans
these parties usually comes from a
small town to escape restrictions as
well as to work. On entering a
Washington Office she drops her title
of Miss or Mrs. and becomes just
"Maizie" or "Daisey" as the case
may be, who cares nothing for con-
ventions so long as she has good
time. BY her free and easy conduct
she has earned an unenviable repu-
tation and wonders why Washing
ton is so cold to her.
If Mrs. T. j. K. and others who
work in Government Offices and
agree with her would insist on in
cluding the wives and husbands in
some of their partieS they may
start the ball rolling in the right
direction and many Washington
wives will call you blessed.

In reply to Mrs. T. ]. K. about
office party going. 1t incenses me
SO to hear of some one being misled
into bachelor" party going under
the guise of Office custom, that I
can't think of washing my dinner
dishes before enlightening you.
I worked in a Government Office
for 10 years during which time I
have never attended an Office party.
A great many others in the Office
also did not. We merely didn't 60
and apparently nobody cared. I
learned from hearsay and observa-
ton only those who really wanted to
get away from their marriage COM
panionship used the Office party as
an excuse for a night "out." On the
other hand, the Office in which my
husband works frequently has
parties to which all the respective
husbands and wives, or girl friends
or beaux accompany them and they
are really good.
It seems to be only logical to
deduce that people who work to-
gether eight hours day after day,
must have rather particular reasons
for wanting to fraternize further at
night without the benefit of addi-
tional varied company.
If you are truly married because
you find the companionship of each
other preferable, please shun these
Office parties. There is no necessity
at all for their being bachelor af-

otherwise. Just say mo, thank
you." I'm busy" "I don't go out

TO Mrs. T. j. K, Washington.
Dear. dear lady! Don't judge the
real Washingtonians by this modern
party going" group! Such condi-
tions did not exist here before the
great influx of newcomers who are
needed by the Government. The
real Washingtonian believes very
much in the sanctity of marriage
and the appearance of married
couples at social functions. I know
just how you feel about this matter
of having only half of the couple"
invited. If you could get enough of
you together who would go as
couples" to these parties, perhaps
even that little stamp 'of disap-
proval would help wipe out this
stigma" against Washington. After
all, aren't married people supposed
to be "one?"
