Realize, to begin with, what > thing it is to let your husband’s love for you be killed and your ked by irritability. It doesn’t even have the dignity of like being stung to death by a mosquito. If you lost your husband through his being a philanderer, or a drunkard, or a gambler, vou would deserve our pity, but we can only feel it is your own fault when you lose him through your peevishness and fretfulness, for temper is a fault that can be controlled. It is merely a matter of determination, You can hold yourself steady, or you can hysterical outbursts. You can shut your tecth on the bitter, angry word, or you can flare into rages and say unforgivable and unforgettable things. In its essence tempe nothing but selfishness and self-indulgence. It's doing and saying exactly what you please without regard to the feelings of any one else. I have never known a high-tempered person who did not get a morbid joy out of making a scene. k But the one: ne m. indulge yourself in wild, in You are like all other high-tempered people. You think others should overlook your fault and realize that you don't mean all that you say when you are in a fury, but that is expecting too much. You have to pay the penalty of your crime. 5 Perhaps your husband should be more tolerant of your weakness angd realize that you have good qualities that offset it, but it is hard to admire the virtues of a lady while she is indulging in a tantrum, and who goes about with a chip on her shoulder, ready to flare up like a bit of tinder at the slightest friction.

IDEAR DOROTHY DIX: T am a girl 15 years old, a high school graduate. I have had several bus ss situations, but have always been forced to give them up on account of poor health. So I am doing my part by running the home, as my mother works out and has no time to attend to it. I keep the houseé spotless, and when the family comes home have a good dinner on the table. I make all of my own clothes and my sister's, but, nevertheless, the family reproaches me for not having a job. I want to play fair. What- shall 1 do* UNHAPPY.

That was a_personal matter, Doctors did not confide their cases; neither did lawyers. Besides, what more could he do to prove to her how much he loved her” And surely he did love her! He loved her more each da; Why couldn't he win her love? That day at the office he had been talking with a frind about Tristan and Isolde. Martin loved the oper: He felt as soon as the orchestra began the prelude the doom ereeping up be- tween these two voung people. Over and over he had seen it, this friend, not really a friend ; only a mere acquaintance, had heard it for the first time. He spoke sneeringly of having heen dragged to the opera last evening. | “Wagner, too, Tristan and Isolde! |Of all the darned fool ideas!

"It made his problem seem insurmountable. How easily Tristan had won Isolde! And she had been on her way to marry a king, too. He nd won him. There had been that bus ness of the magic potion, and then he had secn her as she wanted him to see her. Was there really something to it? Had there been something about Tom chemically suited to Nan? In that cas: he might never win her. But he must put such thoughts out of his mind. This was the situation between them. Nan was resenttul, and Martin was angry and bewildered. They were wedlocked! _After their conservation of that eve- ning, Nan had gone to her room feel- ing bitter. She had made up her mind to do exactly as she pleased in the future. She was young, and if Mar- tin's attitude made it impossible for her to be frank with him, she would do as she likc<! 'n the future without telling him it. They par. the night in a rather pecul. almost significant. Martin, as u strained at the leash. He was always wanting to Cubby and the Cookies. Deaf and dumb and blind is greed, And seldom will a warning heed. —Old Mother Nature, Farmer Brown’s Boy is one of those boys who never neglects his work, no matter what may happen. About his home he has certain things to do every day. So, even though he had brought home a little Bear Cub from the Green Forest, he didn't allow it to interfere with his duties. As soon as he had made a collar for Cubby and had chained him to the little house of Bowser the Hound he hurried away to do certain work that had to be done. All the time he was at work he was thinking about that little Bear. “I do hope he won't be too awfully home- sick,” muttered Farmer Brown’s Boy. “It seems kind of mean to take him away from the Green Forest. If he hadn’t hurt that paw I wouldn't have done it. Or if his mother had come to him I wouldn't have taken him away. But as it was it seemed the only thing to do. Gee, but he's a funny little fellow! I hope he'll be contented.” Farmer Brown’s Boy had to go down to the cornfield for a while. When he returned the first thing he did was to look for Buster Bear's little cub. At first all he saw was Bowser the Hound curled up in front of his little house where the little Bear had been left. Then he discovered Cubby. Cubby was nestled up as close to Bowser as he could get. Yes, sir, he was nestled right up close to Bowser and he was fast asleep. At the sound of his master’s footsteps Bowser lifted his head. Then very gently he thumped the ground with his tail It was very plain to see that Bowser was very much pleased. He had a new chum and he was very happy over it. “Well, well” exclaimed Farmer Brown's Boy. “This certainly takes a load off my mind. Now I won't have to worry about any possible harm to that cub from Bowser. I was afraid he might be jealous when he found 1 had given that cub his house. Instead of that, he seems to have taken pos- session of that cub. Good old Bowser!” Just then Cubby awoke and discov- ered Farmer Brown's Boy.
