Your own good sense tells you that is ridiculous. If it isn't possible to spank her for every wrong act, then it isn’'t necessary to spank her for any one of them. They are all learning situations, and if you can teach a child anything without re- sorting to punishment you can teach her everything. The mother has to admit this. The trouble is that some things the child does make the mother so mad that she relleves herself by applying her hand in the traditional manner. The child doesn't learn any more by this than she learned by what happened. The mother simply feels better herself. | Any mother can run her house as she | she needs to know without the use of | punishment.

DEAR MISS DIX—My husband is & Very prosperous business man, ‘makes much money and gives me all I want. But he seems to live only for his business. He is away from home more than half the time on business and never seems to care for my pleasure. Even when he is at home he is too busy or too tired to go out in the evenings, though I like 0 go. I do wish he would be different, He could if he only would. What shall I do? ALICE. NSWER—Well, if T had an ambitious and successful husband, Alice, T should be so proud of him and so interested in his career that it would fill every moment of my time, and I shouldn’t worry over whether he took me to the movies or to the Jones' card party or not. - ~ For everything you get in life you have to pay the price. my dear, and this is true in marriage as in everything else.

HE man who works for a salary and whose day's labor is over when the clock strikes 5, the man in a small business in a amall town who locks up his store and goes home at night can devote his evenings to en- tertaining and amusing his wife and visiting around with her. Perhaps the woman who is married to this kind of man really has the happiest lot in life. At sny rate, she has his companionship and his interest, in all her small affairs, but she pays for it with lack of money and with always being in an obscure position in life. 'HE woman who is married to a big man, a man who is full of plans, a man whose brains and interests must be centered on the thing he is doing, or else he cannot do it, cannot possibly monopolize him as a woman in & humbler sphere of life monopolizes her husband. The successful politicians, the famous actors or writers, the big financiers belong more to the public than they do to their wives. They must necessarily be much away from home and when they are home they are 100 worn and weary to do anything but slump. And for the prestige that their wives nave, for the jewels and limousines, for the money and luxuries they have, they must pay the price of their home lives. "TRY to be big enough to do this.

Divine Guidance. “O Lord, I know that the way of man 1is not in himself; it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.”—Jer., x.23.
