There is mor “'= geing or over tea | tables than there is acr office desks.

It is all up to the voman. If she loves her husband and is honest and honorable, she will go straignt anvwhere, and if the doesn't care for her husband and is weak and vain and witheyt any rock-bottom prineiples, she will take the creoked path no | matter where she 1s. The trouble i, my friend, that when you marry a modern girl vou have to | accept her modern ideas. Apparently vou did this. You knew before yoy | married her that she wanted to go on with her work, and that it brought her into association with men who were her fellow workers, so the best you can do is | to suppress your jeglousy and put a good face on the situation. If the girl has | all the good qualities you ascripe to her, she is worth the sscrifice of a good | many of vour old ideas about weman’s place being in the home and a husband having exclusive rights te his wife's secie At any rate, you can comfort veurself with the thought that very likely che will s5on get tired of her job and be glad to st3y at home.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am engaged to a girl whem I leve very much, byt her mother refuses to let her marry me unless she can come and live with us. The mother has a home, a husband and other children, so I objected: but my girl will not marry me unless her mether lives with us. What | shall I do? B.W. i Answer: Etand pat. The girl evidently cares very little for you if she is not willing to leave her mother for you. Also she is completely under her mother’s dominion, and that would bode no geod for you.

Calif., September 8. —Ruth Elder, who says she attempted her spectacular Atlantic flight to get money for eight sisters and brothers who were euffering from poverty, is prostrated at her Hollywood apartment because Lyle Womack has sued her for divorce without, she insists, warning her of his intention. And through her tears runs like a Greek chorus her reiterated plaint of manship in not giving her this warning. “Had conditions been reversed I| would have told him,” said Ruth. The brunette beauty, who is the first of the famous ones really to show an adapta- bility for the movie camera and a streak of histrionic ability, spoke with much Ruth Elder in her movie work has suffered a far better fate than that which befell Trudy Ederle. For in- stance, she was _immediately put in a| picture oppesite Richard Dix, and click- ed from the start.

They told him it was no good. “Very well,” said the millionaire. “I can get some one to produce it fer $200,000, and that much meney is nothing to me.” ‘There is a Hollywood which nevi wants anything until somebody wants it. Right then and there it de- cided that it wanted Lia Tora, her story and her husband. But to crash the gates that wav, have to have a millionaire in the family.
