DANGEROUS INNOCENCE BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR. | SALLY FLEW TO TOM, LEAVING GLADYS STRANDED. Myra Warren and Sally Bates, two sisters of widely different tempera- ments, decide to take a long trip. Tom Bates hates to give up Sally, but wants_her to have the experience. Myra Wearren doesn’t care very much what her husband thinks. CHAP Sailing. Sally's eyes were like stars.

And every one seemed so happy. She was happy, of course, and vet it did seem strange to he leaving Tom. She mustn’t think of it. She and Tom had decided that she musét think of nothing but getting the best out of her trip. That was the most important thing. And yet she was virtually tearing herself away. Marjorie had clung to her and Sally had cried. it was her first separation from Marjorie. Of course, she was leaving her with Tom's mother. Bverything would be all right. ‘What an adorable stateroom!

It was thrilling And then Myra was gpeaking to her, pulling her around to introduce her to people. What a crowd to see Myra And such flowers! The steward kept appearing with vases, but he couldn’t keep up with the people who kept arriving. How popular Myra was! Of course, she lived right in the city and it was easy for people to come to the sbip. Sally hoped that none of her own friends would come. When- ever Myra and Bill came to dinner in Center Valley she didn’t invite people.

Toasts weye drunk; every one was very gay, including herself. She found it easy to talk to people. Tom, too, seemed to be feeling very gay. And then the Wallaces arrived. Sally immediately felt a sense of r sponsibility. She had a sickening sensation that they would never mix with Myra's friends. She wished they hadn’t come. And yet Gladys Wallace had alwa been a good friend in Center Valley. She was ashamed of her feeling. No one seemed to notice very much. They were all much too excited. And vet Sally had a feeling that Myra was annoyed.. She ppobably felt Gladys and Dick were provincial. That was a word she used very often. Well, they were. It was quite true. With Myra's standards it would be impossible to accept didn’t know just what it was that the lacked, unless it was that brilliance that all Myra's friends seemed to pos- sess in abundance. They, always seemed to know just exactly what to do. And they did «o many clever things without any efforty It was really gorgeous. SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY. Well, you's a nice one.

EAR MISS DIX: One wearies a little of hearing that a man does not suffer in a divorce as does a woman, because he can forget his troubles by engrossing himself in his business; but marital disaster frequently takes away all ambition from a man. I think the woman has quite as much chance to forget by going into business or by any other means as a man. Women make more fuss over their broken-up homes because they are to hear his troubles, whereas the woman pipes her story to eager listeners. When the alimony business is taken out of divorce and a woman required to support herself when she leaves her husband there will be fewer smash-ups in married life. W. E. A. Answer: T think you are right, Mr. W. E. A., and that men are unjustly treated very often in being made to pay alimony to their divorced wives. for no just cause. A flare-up of temper, the husband not being able to make as much money he wife wants to spend, just getting tired and bored and wanting a ‘that convinces a woman that the man to whom 1 soul mate, a theory that perhaps she still loves some old sweetheart better than she does her husband and might have been happier with him; all these and a hundred other trivial reasons cause the modern woman to break her marriage vows as if they were so much pack thread. It apparently never enters her head that she hasn't any right to break up the home that her husband is doing his best to support and she is indifferent to the suffering she may cause him by depriving him of his home and robbing him of his children. . change, morbid introspection she is married is not her real g 1 Many & man who is guiltless of any wrong against his wife has these misfortunes befall him, and, in addition, the courts condemn him to a lifelong | slavery to support the yvillainess who has done him such a cruel wrong. i In every city and every community there are many cases in which the | husband is the victim of divorce, In which men who love their homes and love their children have been ruthlessly deprived of tiem by lazy and selfish | Wwomen who find it easier to live on alimony than they did to do housework. | i It seems to me that the best way to deal with this problem is by means | of the marriage contract. Before the marriage it could be definitely setlled[ what provision should be made for the woman in case of a divorce. { = v | And this should take into consideration whether the man's k‘Alndur'. wasl such as to drive his wife away from him and make living with him ntolerable, or whether she threw up her job because she got tired of matrimony and found that it wasn't the picnic she thought it was going to be. It would stop many a woman from rushing precipitately to the divorce court if she knew that all a decree absolute gave her was her freedom and the necessity to go out and hunt a job, And perhaps it would stop many a man from giving his wife cause for divorce if he had entered into an ironclad contract, which he eould not break, to support the woman he married during her good behavior. : —_—h Of course, where a man and a woman have been married for many years and she has been a real partner who has helped him build up his fortune she is entitled to her share of it, and she should be able to collect it. And even in cases where the couple have not been able to lay up a fortune the wife is entitled to compensation if she has given years of service to her husband. Marriage is a business partnership as well as a sentimental one, and in divorce it should be dealt with as a bl:t!iness proposition. DOROTHY DIX. . .. DEAR MISS DIX: Iam engaged to a girl about my own age, 30. She is | very fond of life, wants to go to a show or a dance nearly every night. and dresses exceptionally well. She earns a good salary and has only herself to keep, but she is always in debt and I have lately learned that she has been in the habit of borrowing large sums of money from her male acquaintances, some of whom are men of loose habits. Do you think it is safe for me to marry this girl? T. A. M, I do not think that you could make a more unfortunate choice To begin with, she {8 extravagant, and a wasteful to the grindstone so long as he lives. Answer: of a wife than this girl. wife keeps a man’s nose Every worthwhile man is ambitious and anxious to get ahead accumulate at least a competency, but if he marries a pleasure-mad, dress- Woman this is an utter impossibility, No matter how much he makes, she will always spend more, and he will never be able to make enough to supply her demands. He will never save enough to buy the golden key that unlocks the door of opportunity. Beware the extravagant woman, and beware, above all, the woman who borrows money from men, She is a grafter or worge. She holds them up, knowing that men dislike to refuse a woman and that few have the nerve to dun a woman for what she owes them. Of course, a woman in necessity may honestly and innocently borrow a few dollaws from a man friend, but the woman who habitually borrows from men seldom expects to pay it back honestly. My advice to you is to escape from this lady while the going is good. DOROTHY DIX. . . How can I enlarge my vocabulary and acquiré an 1 am always embarrassed for fear that my English A READER. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: easy flow of speech? is not good. I also have to grope for words. Answer: The poet Longfellow told Mary Anderson, the actress, that the best way to acquire a flexible vocabulary was to memorize a verse of poetry every day, and I myself have found that a great help. Poets make words sing and must necessarily use them with a delicate artlstry that brings out every fine shade in their meaning. There are many word books that you can study with profit. You can make no more useful collection than in assembling a good vocabulary. It is pitiful to think that, with the thousands upon thousands of words which we may have for the taking, most of us are so poverty-stricken that we use only 00 11 daily conversations.

This is a good and delicious way of serving left-over boiled or roasted chicken: Cut the chicken into small pieces, removing the bones and skin. Put the meat in a saucepan and to a scant pint of meat add a gill of cream or chicken broth and simmer for a few minutes over the fire. Cream together two teaspoonfuls of butter and a scant teaspoonful of flour, moisten with a little milk, add to the chicken, season highly with salt and paprika, then simmer until thick. Chop fine two hard-boiled eggs, stir into the chicken mixture, then remove from the fire at once. Put into a baking dish, cover with buttered crumbs, brown in a quick oven and serve very hot.
