She is' not happy with her husband. They have two child- ren: "Her husband goes out a lot, but doesn't take her with hien. He does not work, neither does she. They don't get along at all. They come out to our ' house quite a bit. 'I have heard ]sista tell her she can get a divorce any time she wants to—he can always get a girl,. he says! "A husband who tells his wife that, can't love her any too well. . She knows I am writing you, so please try to help us. MIKE AND BROWN EYES" * I well understand your unhap- * piness in seeing an attractive * young woman so unhappy with a * husband who publicly insults her. * You are young yourself, and * idealistic. Her plight arouses all * your chivalry. You picture her as * a forlorn maiden in the clutches * of a modern villain, a rogue who * neglects and mistreats her, who * boasts about his conquests. You * believe her heart is breaking un- * der his recklessness, And you see * yourself as the knight sans re- * proche who will rescue her from * this misery, and carry her away * on his charger to an eternal * dream of happiness, * How different can be the real- * ityl If by some miracle these two * could be divorced and you were * to marry her, you would find "`yourself chained to a woman who * could not manage, one husband, and burdened with the responsi- * bility of two children that belong * to another man—children whom * you neither know well nor under- * stand, yet to whom you would *,have to be a good and understand- * ing father. * Remember, too, that this man's * boasting may be all talk, A bus- * band does not usually use such * language to his wife in public if * he is really serious about separat- * ing. Many a weak male gives * himself away by his big, words. * Keep yourself out of this. It * is too bad you have, evidently, * disclosed your feelings to this * wife; that you had no right to do, * nor had she to listen. Don't see * her alone; if they come again to * your home, leave. You must * have no influence on her now. If * she intends divorcing her bus- * band, let it be because she has * good reason to -not because she * thinks she is in love with another * man, * Keep yourself busy with nice * girls who are single There are * plenty of them about to amuse * you, and take your mind off a. * married woman. At your age, it * is wise to realize that you will * proDably be in love with more * girls than one before you are * settled enough to !dairy any- * body. to 5 "Dear Anne Ilirat: Two years ago I met a man through business. He has a wife and two children. I fell in love the first time I saw him. I thought he and his wife were an ideal couple— but a year ago she told me they had been separated for three months, They both claim no love exists between thele, and no ties, except financial, "Finally he fell in love with me. I don't think either of us has ever Icnown what it means to' love be- fore! We are both 40. I was brought up in a Christian home, and T want to do what is -right and best for all of us. He told his wife he was madly in love With Inc. but she will never give hint a divorce for fear it will ruin her prestige. "We both hold responsible posi- tions. I was offered a good jOb in another town, but when. I went to be interviewed I felt the world had conte to an end. If I could get a job in a certain field I would find comfort there, and as long as 1 knew he was getting along all right I could stand to stay away, "I want my life to mean some- thing. I certainly don't want to hurt anyone. Please advise me. THE OTHER WOMAN". DON'T HURT YOURSELF ' * In your anxiety not to hurt * others, don't overlook hurting * yourself. * So long as you work with this * man, or stay where you can see * each other often, your love wilt * flourish. Since it cannot be ful- * filled, it can only grow more and * more tragic. You will live in in- * creasing resentment which might * readily become a bitterness which * could consume you. * Be realistic. * Take yourself away from this * daily association. Find the sort * of work you feel yourself fitted * foe (in another city, if you can) * and bury yourself in it. You need new faces, new ideas, * new surroundings. Nothing else * will help you so much. Among * them, you will be able to resign * yourself to the inevitable, and at * the same time develop fresh int- * erests and ambitions that will help * make your life the useful life you * wast it to be, "meaning some- * thing" to others as well. as your- * self, * You have courage, and a will * which will not be denied. Once * you snake the break, you will * wonder why you hesitated so * long, * You and this man can keep in * touch frequently enough to be * assured, of each other's well be- * ing. Then you will find peace, at * least—which you can never know * so long as you are together. When tentptatiort conies, run away. We never can know how strong we will be in the face of it, so why court tragedy? Anne Hirst will help you find the courage you need, Write her at Box 1, 123 Eighteenth St..

"Where shall I send them?"' she inquired, "Well," remarked the spiritualist, "you notice he didn't ask you for any matches."—Guthrie Center Tinges,' CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1.

Rout Evil With Good Many children turn to "funny books" simply because there is no otherkind of reading for them in their homes. It is shocking to dis- cover how many parents omit books in the family budget. Children will read good literature, if it is put within reach. As a matter of fact, most normal children will get a reasonably balanced literary diet if it is made available to them. Maybe a few more libraries more easily accessible to more children, could be an answer. Certainly, if parents buy a few good boolcs and leave them where children can stumble on them, there will be some- thing to take the place of the trash ]rids have been finding. It must not be forgotten, either, that a large part of "funny book" sales are to adults, not to children. If good books are provided, and, youngsters still get an overdose of crime, sex, and violence, that wilt be the flint to talk about swinging the ax of censorship. Flow long since you bought a good book for your own boys and girls?— Commercial Appeal (Memphis). FAMILIAR Mrs. Mitchum's eighteen -year-old daughter was as pretty as she was shy.

Alarm Wrist Watch A discover), that will be of great benefit to a large number of people has been made because a watch- maker heard a cricket chirruping as he !walked hi the mountains' of . Swiafderland. If such a tiny insect couldstake a sound ctee:tly audible from - a distance of a dozen yards, why, he thought,• could he not make an alarm bell that was 'Small enough to go in a wrist watch but yet noisy enough to wake a sleeper? The upshot of his 'mountain walk was an alarm mechanism that works on the principle of the cricket's chir- rup. The cricket makes his distinct and penetrating noise by rubbing the file -like edge of one wing against the other. The tatch maker ' pro- duced the same effect by setting a light hammer to vigrale against a thin metal diaphragxxl. The result is that not1', in a case no bigger than that containing an ordinarywrist watch, lies both the mechanism and the alarm bell. "This new alarm ' wrist watch," says R. E. Hum- phries, describing the discovery, '"should in time make us more punc- tual in our habits, because for the first time you can carry the equiva- lent of an alarm clock around with you. Youcan set it to remind you of your appointments." ISSUE 12 1949 Look pretty for your Steady Freddie!
