BE MORE LOVABLE

Married life often becomes dull
after THE first years. Frances Lyons,
Wbo sOrites for adviee to Miss
Norris, says she can no longer en-
lure her drab existence.
She tells Miss Norris that there
IS nothing exactly wrong - no
other 1Uonan, no other man. They
have tao nice children, q fine
home, a fair income. The trouble
is they bare fallen out of lope.
The old emotion just isn't there.
They are beginning to crate ON
each OTHERS nerves.
Frances tUonders if she and her
husband, too, .Uouldn,t be hap.
pier if they sUere divorced. She
says she wonh neper marry again.
She just Oants to get atVay from
lopeless atmosphere.
Miss Norris replies that such q
divorce Wonld be fatal mistake.
Sooner or later Frances .Uould be
tOisbine she .Oere back in the Sc
eurity of her husbands arms.
after complete break, such
return would be impossible.
Frances should do everything she
can to regain her husbands Lore,
adpfses Miss Norris. and to make
a happy bone for her sons.

Wilted WardrObes Will Respond
To Kind and Careful Treatment
by &,Aa Haley

A LITTLE brushing, bit of soap
"A and water, swift treatment
with the iron, neat replacement
Of button or snap-these are all
little things, but they are miracle
workers when it comes to giving
life to weary wardrobes.
It's because the attention needed
is so little that many of us neglect
our clothes, but this very thing
spells the difference between good
and bad grooming. So consider CIV
ing some first aid to your clothes in
time, and see what real satisfaction
there is in stepping into clothes that
are perfectly kept. I'll guarantee
that you'll never go back to slip
shod ways once you've given the
idea fair trial, say of two to four
weeks.
You've heard the story that wom-
en- are not judged by the dresses
they wear but rather by their foot
gear. Well, let's not start any argu-
ments except to say in passing that
a perfect dress can be spoiled if we
glance down at a woman's feet
and see soiled hose and rundown
heels.
There's no good reason why hose
should not be laundered every night
before you're tucked safely in bed.
Hose wash and dry readily, and now
that they are plentiful again, we
need not be without perfectly kept
ones.
Check the hose before you take
them off for runs-wash and set
them aside for home or professional
mending. Always see that you have
at least two good pair from which
to choose in the morning. I suggest
the two pair because one may run
Is yoH are putting on a pair, and
you thus viii need another one.
Darn Your Hose
With Care
The usefulness Of hose can be
heightened If you follow these tips:
l. See that toenails are filed
smooth before you put on your
hose. Remove rings and other

She won't busy herself with grow
ing flowers, studying a language,
keeping her wardrobe charming,
starting table games with the boys
and their father, asking Billy at
least one sympathetic and inter-
ested question at night about his
business, telling him at least one
tiny detail of good news as he sits
down at the table.
New Problems Will Come.
She wants to remain an eternal
adolescent, an eternal bride, always
seen through a mist Of reverence,
white yelling, orange blossoms. She
says she won't marry again, but
presently she will, "to give the boys
a good father, to have a man's-in-
fluence over them"
Then wreckage. Then the claims
of the new husband jealousy
pressed against the older claim of
motherhood. Then financial degra-
dalton. Billy must help support the
boys. Billy hasn't paid this month;
Arthur must pay.
The heartbreak for the children.
They won't show it; they'll shut it
into their puzzled, inarticulate little
boy hearts. They'll pay all their
lives for MONS incompatibility and
Dads mental cruelty. Cheated out
of home, Mother, Dad, cheated out
of the love and security that is the
first essential to happy living, happy
and safe growing-up, what can be
expected of the boys except similar
stupidities and mistakes. 49,.
I'm afraid Frances hasn't, the
qualities that pull a marriage out
of jam like this. They are great
qualities: Courage, Imagination,
affection, self-forgetfulness. She'd
have to be made over. No, she'll
run the usual course-explaining
justifying herself, softening it to the
boys, setting her jaw stubbornly
when Billy asks her to reconsider,
to try again. And three years after
she ends this potentially happy, per-
fectly normal marriage, how she'll
want to be back in safety, with Billy
and the boys. Three years?-per-
haps three months. Perhaps three
weeks.

Make Old Ties Look
As Good As New
Here's a trick that will please
your husband and keep up his
grooming: Freshen his neckties, by
sponging them with dry-cleaning
fluid to remove the spots. Then
cut piece of cardboard to fit the
tie, insert it and place a pressing
cloth over the tie. Press until
smooth and the ties will look as
good as new.

COURSE IN BABY SITTING

Baby sitting now Is being offered
as college. course at the Berk-
shire Hills school for girls.
This attempt to bring order out of
chaos comes none too soon. Desper-
ate parents already had devised
such elaborate mechanical devices
as the one which connects all the
nurseries on one street to common
communication system. The wall Of
any baby is picked up by a micro
phone near his crib and carried to
the home Of the parent standing

jewelry on hands before trying
on hose, thus cutting down
snags.
2. Check washing directions
on hose to get longer wear. Al
ways have hose completely dry
before wearing.
3. When darning, use a darn
ing egg and thread which is a
little darker than the hose itself.
Catch runs before they become
too large by carrying a tiny
lnending kit with you when you
are away from home.
4. Fasten garters on double
hem.
S. Put stockings on carefully,
rolling them easily over the
foot. Never pull them too tight,
as there will not be enough
elasticity to give as you walk up
steps, ct cetera.
6. Always mend from the right
side, catching all small loops so
you will not have runs starting
from the first run.
Handbags Should Be
Cleaned, Too!
Yes, there is such a thing as
overworking your handbag! You
simply cannot use the same bag day
after day without expecting it to be-
come as shoddy as pair of shoes.
You all know how beautifully
shoes, dresses and coats respond to
a day or two of rest while you
change off to an alternate. Try the
same with your handbags.
While the handbag rests, here's
what you can do to rejuvenate it.
Brush the dust from the folds and
lining if the bag is fabric or fabric
lined. Leather bags may be cleaned
with neutral cream such as you
use on shoes. Wax treatments are
good for those colored bags from
which the finish tends to rub off
on clothes.
Suede bags, if they are allowed to
get very bad, will require profess
sional attention. For daily care
brush them with a -bristled
brush, or use suede cleaner on
them. Make certain the lining is
brushed frequently.
Don't Wear Wilted Wells
Or Battered, Dusty Hats
Some women l know are fussy
about brushing clothes and shoes,
but their hats never come in for
their share of brushing. Yes, brush
ing will improve fabric hats no end,
but make certain you do it both in
side and out
II you have a felt hat or one of
velvet, steaming will do it more
good than brushing. Hold the hat
over the spout Of steam kettle,
and keep turning as you brush.
Don't jam too many hats into your
hat boxes, and have enough tissue

"@UR marriage has simply
gone dead-perhaps has
~ been diving for years"
Bell Syndicate.-WNU Features.

"@UR marriage has simply
gone dead-perhaps has
~ been dying for years."
writes Frances Lyons of Rich
mond. IT don't remember quite
when the glamor went out of it,
but it is as dull now as if Billy
and I had never fallen in love-
if we did. Perhaps it never was
real love, just excitement and
the novelty of being married
just kid stuff. Yet I was %, and
Billy four years older. Our peo-
pie highly approved of the mar
riage. Ours was a church we'd
ding. After that there were
happy years getting the new
house running, welcoming two
beautiful boys.
"The boys now are 9 and 7; we
both adore them, naturally. But be-
tween Billy and me there is a COM
plete break. We just don't seem to
talk the same language any more.
Sometimes we're polite and silent.
Sometimes we flare up at each other
for moment, when he feels that
I am Indifferent to his interests or
I make plans that don't include him.
And then of course sometimes we
quarrel, when he comes home
tired. I am always tired, with two
lively boys and 10-room house
to manage without help.
"There isn't any other man; there
isn't any other woman. It's just that
we bore each other; don't take any
interest in my own life, and I know
Billy is as tired of the whole setup
as I am. Is it smart" this letter
concludes, ito 60 on with this half
life, dragging through days without
love that really is life to a woman?
Is it fair to bring the boys up in this
lifeless atmosphere, hearing no hap
py home talk, hearing only civil re-
plies and occasional outbursts of
anger that show them how COM
pletely out of sympathy we are?
'Freer and Happier Apart
II should never marry anyone
else; don't believe Bill would. But
mightn't we both lead freer and hap
pier lives apart? Call it incompat-
Utility, call it mental cruelty on both
sides, call it what you like But
doesn't it spell failure, and isn't
there something one can do about
it?"
This is the sort of letter and stu
alton that account for thousands of
broken homes and thousands of
small boys and girls either shunted
into boarding schools or placed by
the state in institutions that care for
misplaced, unwanted, drifting
American children. What a bitter
shame it is!
Only this year in our state an i'm
mense sum was raised to build an
other of these half-charity, half-pay
homes, this one for 200 boys. All
but 10 per cent of these boys have
two living parents, who have found
each other incompatible" or guilty
of mutual mental cruelty" Isn't
it bitter shame?
This woman won't give herself
generously, tenderly to making a
home for her three men. She
won't face the fact that the breath
less passion of young love has set
tied down into commonplace affec-
ton and respect. She isn't smart
enough to know that where there is
that mutual affection and respect
love has an odd way Of creeping
back, a different sort of love-mar-
ried love-deeper and sweeter than
the earlier emotion.

ness. If the veil has holes in it,
catch them neatly with needle and
matching thread. If it can't be re-
paired, buy a new one.

Only Few Americans
Remain as Aussies
Recall u. 5. Landing
BY the lssoeioied Press

SYDNEY. Australia, Mar. %
From Pearl Harbor to the end of
the Pacific war more than 1000, 600
Yanks passed through Australia, but
only comparative corporal's guard
remains today as Sydney honors
the 5th anniversary of the first
American landing at the port,
March %, 1912.
Tens of thousands Of American
youths, who had the time of their
lives during the "Yank occupation"
vowed they would return to settle
down, but only 1000 actually have
settled here since the war, by off,
cial estimate, and of these none are
too firmly rooted.

lea increases the number, but every

Outposts Closing.
American outposts have pulled
down the flag, the last closing being
the Far East Service Command at
Eagle Farm, Brisbane, early TINS
year. TWO junior officers remain in
Sydney, whose streets once were
filled with United States Army and
Navy personnel.
Before leaving, the last command
ing officer, Col. Roy L. Schuyler un-
veiled plaque on Sydney's water
front which reads: "Commemorat-
ing the first landing of the United
States armed forces at the Port of
Sydney on 2sth March, 1912. Dur
ing the Second World War 1,000, 900
personnel and 5000 900 tons of mate
rials followed and we're transported
through the Port of Sydney and by
New South Wales Department of
Railways"
But the Sydney landings were not
the first. Transports that put to sea
even before Pearl Harbor carrying
two regiments of Coast Artillery des-
tined for the Philippines were di-
verted when Japanese bombs fell on
Oahu, landed at Brisbane and the
men encamped at Townsville. An
other transport was similarly divert
ed and reached Darwin.
1000 Yanks Return.
The 1000 Yanks who have re-
turned are retaining their American
citizenship. Most of them are men,
bers of or have affiliations with the
American Ex-Servicemen's Club, a
post of the American Legion, or the
American Society. /.
Many of them are studying at
school or college under the United
States Veterans Administrator
plan. They find it cheaper to take:
their tuition in Australia than in
America.
A State Department official said
that those who are pursuing studies
are among the happiest Of ex-GIs
here, together with those who have
gone into business with their Aus
tralian in-laws.
The disillusioned ones are those
who enjoyed United States Army
privileges during the war, and didn't
quite understand how difficult 1t
was to dc business as foreigner in
a foreign land. The acute housing
shortage, the high cost of cars, re-
frigerators and other items consid-
cred necessities in America, but al
most luxuries here, prooked dissat-
isfaction.

Frost Data Is Studied
To Estimate Possible
Corn Crop Damage

Government crop and weather ex-
perts are busy these days scanning
records to determine the chances of
an early frcst in the corn belt.
Agriculture Department experts
will make known next Wednesday
just what proportion of the Nations
corn crop is in danger of damage
If frost occurs at average dates.
The corn crop has been beset by
difficulties since the beginning of
the season. First there was late
planting caused by delayed spring,
then damaging floods and later long
dry spells. Looming just over the
horizon is the threat of frost.
Chances Estimated.
From statistics supplied by
weather stations in various States,
the bureau here has arrived at some
conclusions on chances of frost on
or before September "a.
In Ohio, the chances are roughly
one in 10 years of killing frost on
that date, according to bureau
climatologist. Other areas are:
Indiana. one in 20 years; Southern
Iowa, slightly more than one in 10;
Northern Iowa, better than one in
5; Northern Illinois, one in 10;
Southern Illinois, one in so; North
ern Kansas, one in 10, and Southern
Kansas, one in so.
John F. Krey, chairman of the
American Meat Institute, estimated
in speech in Chicago yesterday the
next Is to 20 days "can bring double
disaster" if an early frost hits the
corn belt. He said one-third to
half of the crop in IL States was
in danger of frost damage if it
occurs at average dates.
Average Dates Listed.
At the Agriculture Department,
crop expert listed these dates for
average frost in producing
States:
Iowa, October 2 to g; Ohio, Octo-
ber Is to 18; Indiana, october 1916;
Illinois, Octobe- 4l-zo; Kansas,
Octobe 49, K: lucky, October
20; Mis- -, October 1923; Ne
braska, ---~~er o-6; Minnesota,
September 22-October 3; Michigan,
September 28-October 13; Wisconsin,
September 26-October 13, and South
Dakota, September 24-October 8.
The climatologist pointed out
that killing frost usually occurs when
the thermometer reaches 80 degrees
for several hours and the ground
temperature drops at the same time
to around % degrees for as little as
one hour.
Damage May Be Heavy.
The 32-degree figure is based on
a reading in shelter placed about
feet above the ground, he said.
Mr.. Krey declared, in his address,
that a major catastrophe" was
striking the United States and a
hungry world because of sharp re-
ductions in corn prospects, and he
warned that damage from frost is
yet to come and may be extremely
heavy"
Meat production will drop, he said,
and both farmers and meat pack
ers will be blamed more than ever
for high meat prices and reduced
supplies of meat in retail meat
stores"
