OREDAY, DECEMBER 16, T97, iW y MODERN WOMAN MYTH TO MALE | SPECIES; DIVORCE RESULT? Dear Miss Grey: While divorce is under discussion, | wish to express my opinion, as experience has driven me to Rive it some thought. Man does not know modern woman—she Tives in another plane, and is reared to be a dreamer. She is taught to expect | l respect from a man, but to give little in return. She ies because she feels sorry for the one she has victim- more than anything. ‘ It would take four years of diligent study to know a wo-| A, a very vital subject to man, but which, as a rule, he ects in his busy youth, being taken up with his trade, When he meets the woman he would be proud to call his wife, then he takes the first real interest in women. is material, more so by far than a woman.

I married & man who had been divoreed, and Wife No. 1 is still living. He ia al ways telling me how much be used to think of her, and how good she was, but still tells mo he lover me best. I have asked him to forgvt her if he loved me, but the same old thing every day haa got on my nerves, and worries me until I don't take interest in anything, and the only way for me to have any happh ness is to get away from him, bot ft te going to be hard to do. But the mood, or wander off to be «mart, satisfy their false pride. They nurse a grievance and go to for sympathy. girl's true age should be testi and sworn to at the altar. ty ts young enough. A Woman can be the undoing of and the undoing of a nation. allowed to act according to her She lacks character. I note that the Jap, who has not ™any scruples for woman, ob- this, but without going into fone faith in him, and if he ever marries agnin, he will find the same old trouble until he finds someone who will treat him the way he har me. I have stood more from him than he ever would from me. HELEN, eee Dear Mies Grey: The reason for 8° many divorves ts too many trashy novela, and too many bakeries. The way to win a man is thru his stom ach. Men get all the “bake-house” food they want, without getting mar. ried. Why do men get married if it is not for a home and it# comforts, and good home-cooked meals? The man will get up in the earty morning, make his coffee, toast bis slice of baker's bread before going to his work, and wife reads her novel j until late In the day. Then gets up, stays around the house halfdresed. goes overs, to her neighbor's, and boasta how late she stays in bed, and that her supper dishes from the night before are not washed. Then she mys, “I must go down town and do some shopping.” She gets some more baker's bread and flies around trying to mako her bed and do the dishes stif unwashed, and says: “Oh, I bate washing dishes; I'N wait until Jobo comes home.” Pretty soon hubby gets cross, and says: “What's the use to support a woman who spends all of my hard-earned money, and |s resting all the time? It's cheaper to bay the judge for a divorce.” MARTHA. Make This A CHRISTMAS Critical Music Lovers Prefer The Brunswick We Handle All Models C.J.Waak Piano Co.
