Kessler's attention had wandered it
was no matter, since he was going
to read the script tomorrow anyway.
When Spratt had finished, and he
himself had risen to leave, he
glanced at the photograph on the
desk, saying with the casualness
born Of years Of seH-command,
"Your wife, Mr.. Herlong?"
Spratt said, why yes" taking up
the picture and handing it to Kess-
Ter with the proud smile Of a man
showing his friend a treasure. "But
that's not very good Of her-at least,
I never did think those formal por-
traits were as good as candid shots,

you" Kessler was looking at her
face. "But this is very charming"
"Oh yes, so it is, but this one on
the wall looks more like her. Over
here by the door. Those are the chill
dren with her."
Kessler followed Spratt and
looked at the picture on the wall.

reason. Unless we women learn to
forgive and forgive and forgive,
things will grow worse. Unless we
learn to deal honestly with our
lives, there is no hope for US. Un-
less we face our problems-each
woman her own, and acknowledge
them, and study them, and master
them, with the good of our men and
our children, our community and
our God in mind, civilization will
suffer setback from which it won't
easily recover.
1t is no longer a question of an
Individual woman saying that she
can't do this and can't do that The
demand is for actual heroism-the
heroism that sweeps aside Sights
and injustices with the magnifi-
cence of a strong character. The
courage that endures dull days,
monotonous duties, firing RESPONSE
bilities because it is out of that quiet
fidelity that a great nation is built.
The goodness-just sheer old-fash-
ioned goodness that is patient with
a sometimes disappointing husband,
with exacting children, is what
America so desperately needs now.
What she needs now, as she need
ed servicemen a few years ago. is
an army of wives and mothers,
each one capable of solving her
own problem, and willing and eager
to solve it, and by so much lifting
the staggering load of the nations
anxieties and burdens. If instead of
these courageous women she gets
the Margery Curry sort. the whin-
ing crowd that cant" forgive,
can't live honestly, can't stand
marital disappointments. can't put
up with the everyday difficulties
and disappointments of life, we are
in a bad way, indeed.

ACT MATURELY

Mrs. Curry can't forgive her
husband for deceiving her. The
deception was this: Bob, soho is
q successful and dutitul husband,
has been sending $50 a month to
an old ,Uoman ,pho ,oas his moth
er's nurse. He has been keeping
this donation O secret for IA
years.
What makes Margery so mad
is to think that ,uhile she sUas
skimping and saving, Bob suas
passing out this dole to q ,oon,-
an ,Uho had no real claim to it.
But ,oorst Of all, the fact that she
vas kept in the dark on an i'm
portant family matter for so
long has shattered her faith in
her husband. The old bond of
faith seems to be ripped apart,
and Margery cannot bring herself
to face the situation. In all 9TH
er Uays Bob has been nearly per-
feet. The sudden discovery Of
this secret has ended Margerys
happiness.
Miss Norris replies that Tue
must all forgive and forget. In
this case it should not be so hard,
seeing that Bob ,Oas acting from
,Uhat he considered the highest
motives-yatitude to his moth
er's nurse. That he could not af-
ford this generosity is another
matter. The real issue is ,Uheth-
er Margery can act like mature
,poman, and overlook matter
that, after all, is not very seri-

Cregorian Calendar Not
Readily Accepted in 1852

When England adopted the
Gregorian calendar in 1852, thou
sands of her people could not be-
ieve that they had lost 10 days
and looked for some sign of con-
firmation or denial from God or
nature, says Golfers. AS Christ
mas (new style) approached and
no sign had appeared, many per-
sons journeyed to Glastonbury to
see if a famous thornbush there
would blossom on this day as it
had on other Christmases.
Failure Of the bush to flower,
was, therefore, considered ade-
quate proof by them that the date
was the 18th and not the 25th and
they did not accept the new calen-
dar for some time afterward.

Stopping Runs in Rayons

That old trick of moistening a
break to stop run in silk hose does
not work with rayons, because
moistening weakens and stretches
the rayon and only encourages the
run. The run stop" preparations
are better than sewing if the run is
in a place where it doesn't show.
They seal the threads so that the
run doesn't get any bigger, and they
have the advantage of not interfering
with the elasticity of the stocking.
Careful washing and drying will
prolong stocking life.

Elizabeth after her first husband, Arthur
kfttredge, had been reported killed in
World War I. Elizabeth had been or
paaned when baby and raised by her
aunt and uncle in Tulsa, where she met
and married Arthur. Shortly after their
marriage, Arthur enlisted, and soon aft
srwards was reported killed. Elizabeth
moved to Los Angeles, where she met
and married Spratt. Arthur had not been

Yes, yes" he said with involun-
tary eagerness, that, am sure, Is
more like her."
For it was like her, he knew that
without having seen the original in
so long. The picture had been taken
somewhere outdoors. perhaps on a
ranch.
Today, alone in his office, he let
his memory 60 back to the days
when he had realized he had to do
this because he loved Elizabeth too
much to do anything else. The first
days after the battle were nothing
but confusion, fever and pain. He
was in a place where there were a
lot of other men on other cots, and
women with pale harassed faces try
ing to take care of them, but he
could not understand anything that
was being said or anything that was
done. He was strapped up in band
ages that were far from clean, and
among the people around him was a
man gaunt as an ascetic, who came
over now and then and did various
horrible things to him. He did not
know then that in those closing days
of the war in Germany there was not
cloth enough for fresh bandages or
soap enough to wash those that had
been used, or drugs to relieve suf-
fering, or that his attendants had
white faces and shaky hands be-
cause they were not getting enough
to eat. Even when he began to dis
cover this he did not care, because
by that time he had begun to dis
cover also the extent of the damage
these Germans had done to him. He
had no doubt that he was going to
die, and the only wish he was strong
enough to make was that he might
die quickly and get it over.
Babbling in the only language he
knew, he begged the gaunt cruel
man to let him alone. At first the
doctor seemed to be paying no at
tention, but one day his patient OBJ
served that he was talking, and aft
er several repetitions the ungainly
syllables acquired meaning. The
doctor was saying, Forgive me that
I hurt you"
His accent was so thick as to be
almost unintelligible, but the fact
that he had any English at all. gave
flash of hope to the mangled OBJ
ject on the cot. Any effort was tor
ture, but if this fool of a doctor could
be made to understand that dying
man wanted nothing more than to
be left in peace, it was worth the
effort. His own words were muf-
fled because of the bandage on his
chin, but he managed to get them
out.
Listen to me. I am not one Of
your. countrymen-you know that,
don't you? My name is Arthur Kit
tredge. I am an American. Your
enemy-don't you get that? I am
going to die anyway. Why don't you
Just let me do it,"
The doctor said something. Arthur
did not understand it until it had
been repeated several times, and
when he finally caught the words

By KATHLEEN NORRIS

A ~AR G cry Gu r r Y
MI writes me from Plain
1 L field, New Jersey, that
she wishes she could forgive
q person who once has injured
her. She says she is so made
that she cannot, and that her
married life is being destroyed
In consequence.
This is the purest nonsense.
To assume that you "cannot
forgive" an injury or injustice
In this life is to proclaim your
self a person of limited intelli-
gence, incapable of growth.
Margery's story is that her hus-
band was deceiving her about mon
ey for many years. For IA years
Bob sent $50 month to an old wom-
an who worked for his mother as
housekeeper, seamstress, nurse.
When the old woman died Bob's Of
fee secretary commented to Mar
gerry upon Bob's generosity, and
Margery hasn't forgiven" Bob yet.
She keeps a cool civility going be-
fore the children, but she has moved
out of the room she and Bob have
shared for IS years, and as Bob
says that unless this sort Of foolish
ness stops he'll get out for good,
matters have reached a serious
point, and Margery, in foods of
aI,ysNo
Trust Is Gone.
"To think that while I was saw
ing and economizing and doing
without things" she writes, Bob
all the time was supporting an old
woman who had no claim on him
at all, and never saying a word to
me of that extra 5000 year! He
has been a good husband, and we
have prospered; I thought myself,
a few months ago, the happiest
woman in the world. But now
I feel that never can trust Bob
again, and what is love without
trust? Unfortunately, I'm so made
that I can't forgive. I'll bear any,
thing while people treat me fairly.
But once I'm angered-good night"
What strange thing is the SNUG
ness of these wives who boast of
their moral and mental limitations,
who gloat over the jealousy or ex-
travagance or hot temper or the
hardness of heart that "can't for
give!" This is a form of child
ishness that makes it hard for me
to answer Margery Curry patiently.
But I can tell you one thing, Mar
gerry, that unless we keep changing,
growing, improving, we humans
settle into fixed forms, and part
of us dies. When you say that you
are made that way" and that it's
a characteristic of your family new
er to change or never to learn to
forgive, or never to gain control of
the hot temper of which you are
all so secretly proud, or never to
develop character enough to live
within your income and pay your
bills honestly-you are announcing
that you are among the folk who
are incapable of becoming civilized.
Real women do forgive. Real
women are ashamed of any such
quasi as llldI lllcll ISlilpC1S dlS ull-
comfortable or their Jealousy too
deep-rooted to be cured. Real wom-
