MARRIAGE MUST NOT BE
THE JUMPING-OFF PLACE
Life Held Nothing for Matilda but Spending the Evening
With Her Husband How She Learned to liring
Him 'Bach When
M
ATIIiDA naked nothing more In
-with licr husband. Whether It was
at tho movies quietly holding his hand
or Jiidt nt home hHIIhk liculilo the
lamp trying to umlcretnwl the Mm nnd
outH of tho leather bushies". Matilda
was very huppy. Tt didn't inako nny
difference. At fi o'clock uiul mlml
you, they had boon mnriicd two years
her heart began to bent like a trip
hammer Jtitst for the Mheer knowledge
that ho vvun on tho way home.
And It whm because tlilnKR were Just
llko this that Matilda's heart broke
ono night Ycf. It did break. Vox
tho third time that week Henry has
decided to go out by himself. You
can imagine how Matilda felt. Therr
was nothing she hadn't done to keep
Henry s love. Never bad lie Feen ner i
In a red flannel u nipper. Never had i
slin been anything but as sweet and
nlry as tho sweet peas themselves on
tho dining room table In the gloom
of tho morning. Curl papers she
never used until she heard the whis
tle of his departing train at S:IT. You
can Imagine, then, that Matilda didn't
kown where to turn.
AND II
. was
Iben It happened
rerhaps It
because Mutllda
plokci' up
tho pieces of hev heart
and went
downtown tho morning after tho third
evening, in j,hcer desperation.
It was among the slimmer voile
on tho second floor that Matilda met
Mrs. K. Husy. busy Mrs. K., who was
always on her way to some committee
meeting. Matilda never particularly
liked her. It was nil very well to
Work for better babies nnd improve
ment of Industrial conditions among
working girls, but to Matilda it savored
of delicatessen suppers, dusty man
tels nnd settees on the porch minus
the cretonne cushlifns every woman
ought to make. Shades of neglected
homes!
Matilda had never liked her. hut ynu
must remember Matilda's heart was
In several pieces, and If It hnd been
tho floorwalker who had Inquired us to
Henry she would probably have done
Just what she did do put her hand
kerchief up to her veil nnd weep right
there among tho summer voiles.
IT WAS nn hour later when Matilda
sat sipping tea In n room where
there was plenty of cretonne nnd no
dust that Matilda began to rebuild
her life.
"You see." Mrs. K. was saying, "It
was the only way. I knew people
xvould say 1 waR neglecting my hus
band. Women still belonged more or
less In the kitchen ten cars ngo. Hut
people didn't know what I already
knew that my liiinhiinil was showing
the llrst sign's of neglecting inc. Not
a wlfe-beater, tnlnd ou. Hut some
thing that hurt a lot worse. I saw
Tilm sliding, sliding away. It was
then that I saw my mistake. T had
made marriage, it regular Jumplng-off
place. When I married I lost my
identity as n woman and became sim
ply nnd solely a wife. All my llttlo
club activities I had dropped In order
to glvo all my time to mv homo nnd
to keeping mybelf fresh to enjoy
things with my husband.
"That's what he wanted me to do.
But It didn't work.
"And so I decided to make Interests
In my ltfo that Just belonged to me.
I would make him look up to mo as
ho would tn a busy man. I wanton
most of all. perhaps, to hhow him
life held other things for me than" Jum
being married.
"This wasn't In a spiteful spirit. I
simply loved him and I was playing
the game of making him continue to
love me
"At llrst no was very much sur-1
prised when he asked me to go to the i
theatre on a certnln evening to find
mo up to my eyes In worlc nt my '
desk. Formerly I used to hang I
around his neck waiting for this kind '

Wants an Education
To the Editor of tromaii'a Pauc:
Dear Madam I am nineteen era of ase

atancea over which I hail no control foreed
mo to leave school while 1 waa only in the
fifth Krade. Hut my deaire hai olwaya been
to ret a Kood education, and I've done som
studying alnce leaving aehool Put try na f
may. I aeo no way of ever het-omlnrr a
scholar Ho I am wrltlnir to you to ask if
there la any school or collerre where 1 eould
work my way through, with tlie chanr at
earning my hoard nnd elothea aa well hi
my tuition. I ran eet character references
If they ar deaired. Plesae don't nrlnt my
name, only my Initiate. Hut give my name
and address to any one who cm alve me tnt
chance. A COL'NTKV HOY.
Hundreds of boys and men are work
ing their way through all of the colleges.
In some cases they get positions waiting
on table. In others keeping th grounds
In order or In doing the sundry things
that must be done nround a bi? Insti
tution. They also get night work The
college education, board or clothing Is
not traded for this work, but they
maks money In this way and pay for
these things. Boys who work their
wy through college work very hard In
the summer and hoard up that money
fpr this. too. It Is fine the way they
manage to make ends meet.
There Is one college In Vaparnlso, In
diana, that is sometimes called the poor
man's college because so many boys
work their way through. I believe there
the tuition and board are actually for
work.
In your particular case, h6wever. I
hlnk It will be necessary for you to get
.tome sort of high school education be
fore thinking of college. There are splen-
dia night courses nt Temple and Drexel
In Philadelphia that will prepare you for
college!, and. In fact, there are regular
college courses In these Institutions that
are given at night and are equal to those
Of any Institution In the land. It might
he a good plan for you to come to Phila
delphia, get a day-time position and take
um of these courses at night.
Perhaps tome of our readers have
fPinethlng to say that will help you.

ftommendable. Do not give It up. even

days with my housework, which I
never neglected, were very full and
I was-1 1 ted at night. It was rather a
novel experience for a man to i om

too tired to vvaiit him to talk to hei

go to bed after supper, llko ho so often
dlil himself. Hut he did find me that
way and I wasn't pretending. I be

thn probably millions of children In

This Is not due to ri k of food in the

It is seldom dun to lack of Ini-oine.
Children from nil grndra of family In

It does not require a great amount of
Intelligence tn feed a child so tin will be
well and hearty, but It does require a
great amount of conscience, the throw
ing away of some foolish notions mid nl
willingness to exercise self-control, both
on tho part of parents, fond relatives
and friends nnd the children.

geHtlvo powers of a little child and an
adult Is almost ns great as between the
digestive powers of a raw and a canary
bird. The baby is less fitted to eat the
same food that his parents cat than be
is to wear their shoes or to do their
muscular work. To s.iy of a one or two
jenr old child that "He cats everything
that his father does" Is a confession of
distorted ambition and criminal Ignnr
