"Dear Anne Hirst:
I am 23 years old, and I find my-
self in love with a harried woman
who is 22. 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.

"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

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?—

FAMILIAR
Mrs. Mitchum's eighteen -year-old
daughter was as pretty as she was
shy. She was blushing slightly as
she came out of the parlor of the
new Mitchum summer cottage.
"'Why did you leave it to me to
greet the parson when he called?"
she asked her mother. "Parson!"
exclaimed hers. Mitchum. "Don't
be silly. That was the doctor." Her
daughter was visibly relieved.
"That's all right then," she said. "I
thought he was a little bit familiar
for a parson,"

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."
