We like to hear from Constant Reader, for it shows he's inter ested in our newspape Here’s his latest: Editor Star:—I have been reading those silly letters on love and marriage and all that sort of thing in your woman's page every night. Are you trying to solve the problem, ‘Is Marriage a Failure?’ or are you running a matrimonial bureau? Cut it out. You can’t find the an- swer, and I, for one, am not interested.

The housewife said there ought to be, in this day of reform, something done to malg the lot of the hard working wife in the home somewhat easier. “A Shop Girl” replied that she, for one, would like to trade places with “& Housewife.” That started the discussion, and it branched off into many by-paths. in addition to a mere publication of the day's happenings The Star has printed scores of these See the happy workers, children Who are the happy workers?
