Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been reading your articles for some time, hoping to find suggestions which would help me solve a problem I find most perplexing. 1 have been married two years and was engaged for a year and a half, which was the happiest time of my life. During my engagement I received every possible attention, courtesy and evidence of generosity. All of which stopped with the last quarter of the honeymoon. My husband makes more now than when we were married, but I have actually had to sell my wedding! presents to pay for necessary things, like laundry work. He never takes me to a theater or a "movie," never has given me even a field flower, and yet he is most lavish with his friends, i I hear accounts of lunches down town, poker parties with stag sup pers. long motor trips given by my husband to his friends and some times their wives. When I remonstrate he says these are given for "business reasons" and that he can't afford the extra ex pense of taking me. I would go home to my own people but there are two unmarried girls at home and it does' not seem quite fair to them. I wish you would answer this let- I tcr, as you don't know either of us,! and a little impersonal advice would I he very welcome. Yours sincerely, ) MARY G. I am afraid, my dear Mary G.,! >our husband is only one more illus-! tration of that cynical joge regard-' ing men of his type: "Why run when you have caught the car?" He has caught the car and he re gards the transaction as finished. It never occurs to him that he might, lose what he took so much pains to | acquire. Or that he has lost the) best you have to give—your faith I and respect. No woman, no matter Jiow hard she tries to be loyal, can idealize a selfish. stingy man who indulges all | his generous impulses away from! home.

From the days of the cave men down to the present time it is the in stinctive of normal man to do for his own. The cave man went out and slew a wild animal and brought home the choicest portioons to his cave-lady to cook. The bunch of violets, the little trinket, the.fun of being taken to a theater or "movie" are all the de veloped outcome of the cave man's generosity. And if one of his de scendants is wholly lacking in this attribute, it might be to his wife's advantage to know the reason. If it is poverty, or the high cost of living, that checks his liberal im pulses, I have nothing but sympathy for the cave man's many times re moved great-grandson. Though it is difficult to understand why anyone short of an actual vagrant could not afford an occasional "movie" or a bunch of street flowers. But when it is a case of such ignoble meanness as my correspond ent describes, where the wife Is skimped to the last penny and strangers are lavishly entertained, it seems to me that the wife is justified in calling in all her woman's wits to deal with such a situation. Two Courses Open Two courses are open to the young women who has written me. She can get a position—fortunately not a difficult thing these days—or she can use her ingenuity to bring her hus band to terms. When there is no money forth coming for the laundry, why not neg lect to send it? A lack of clean linen may perhaps be a more effectual ap peal than either tears or entreaties. A dialogue like this might be helpful: | Husband —Mary, where are my 1 clean shirts? Wife —There aren't any, John. I had no money to pay the laundry. In a somewhat simliar case the i husband of a woman, who wrote me several times, had a habit of doling out pitifully small sums-for house hold expenses. He would strip one or two dollars from the outside of his "wad" and, with all the anguish he might have displayed in having himself bodily skinned, present them. There was never money enough to run the house and she (presumably) made up the deficit from a small Income which she was fortunate enough to have. This continued untl the wifely worm decided to turn. And the next time her husband told her he was bringing home friends to dinner and accompanied the an nouncement by layjng a couple of dollars on the table, his wife took it, j went to market and did not exceed j the given sum. And the principal; dish of that little dinner was beefj liver. Her penurious helpmeet could i hardly wait till his friends —all offi-j eers of the concern that employed i ! him—had gone before he demanded' j an explanation. He got it. His wife took out pen-] I cil and paper and showed every i penny duly accounted for; indeed, she was fifteen cents short, and this she contriuted. "But how did you J manage so well before?" "I didn't manage; I donated. Now I am investing every penny I have] in Liberty Bonds." I wish I could report that an im-| mediate conversation followed, but it did not. The lady kept strictly with | in the amount her husband gave, and ! the road to that gentleman's conver j sion was via his stomach. In time he grew weary of tripe, liver and herring, and it nerved him finally to strip his roll defeper than the first outer cuticJe. At least he ! has this compensation for his suf-j ferings; lie knows what provisions j cast, he knows what it takes to run a house. Such cases are hard to under stand. Why should a man seek to humiliate the woman he has chosen before all other women? Why will he permit a niggardly impulse, be queathed doubtless by some un worthy ancestor, to triumph over his better nature, his wife's affec-j tion, the Very foundation of his home? Why does the little power derived from holding the purfee strings compare with what he loses in the way of loyalty, love and faith? If a man of this type would only pick out a riotous spendthrift of a woman,tate could no longer bercall cd blind. It Would be a triumph of i the law of averages, a master stroke: of circumstances. But, alas, too! often it is 4he other way round, t The I miser gets a thrifty manager and the woman spendthrift gets an in-1 dulgent and generous husband. Advice to the Lovelorn AREN'T YOU MAKING ADVANCES f DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am In love with a young man two years my senior, employed in the same office. However, I am aware of his interest 4n a girl near his home, and he makes no secret of the fact. I don't think he is playing the game fairly. H It seems that he Is interested in you—and yet you know of his inter est in another girl. I wonder, dear, are you playing the game quite fairly and squarely, either by yourself, the man or the other girl! The young man fascinates you, you do not seek to hide vour feelings, you are right in the same office with him. To pro pinquity you add admiration and emo tional interest —this is likely enough to get some response from any but the strongest of men. The boy prob ably does not want to hurt you. to snub you. And yet he still makes it evident that he cares for this other girl. I think you ought to cease all vour advances—for it was probably you who instigated the invitation to go out with him. it Is you who are making his loyalty to his avowed sweetheart difficult.

Delano Ireotor of -the Department of Nursing; of the American Red Cross The trained nurse who marries and gives up her professional work for home and family life, finds that her hospital training has given her rich assets as a homemaker. This is not only true in her knowl edge of children and of dietetics and of how to care for the sick, but in her attitude toward housekeeping and her attitude toward life. Her understanding of the "why" of things lifts the small, tedious things of housekeeping, whether it be the cleaning of a room or the sterilizing of milk bottles, to a plane of inter est and dignity. And her contact with all kinds of people in the hos pital, in their joys and their suffer ing, broadening her sympathies and her outlook, adds that much insight and inspiration to her relation with her children and her husband and her community. No woman is so well prepared to meet the sudden emergencies of ac cident or sickness that occur in ev ery home as the woman who has had the training of the nurse. In fact, to every detail of the health, care of her family and the hygienic care of her house, the hospital training con tributes something that is useful or precious. More and more the hospital train ing is regarded as a splendid foun dation for all kinds of public serv ice in which women are engaged, and more and more it w.ill.be delib erately planned as a preparation also for home -Hfe. A greater number of young wom en are entering training schools now than ever before. This is naturally true because of the war, but with out doubt the training schools will have to continue to enlarge their facilities for students in the years immediately following. The American Red Cross, the United States Army and Navy Nurse Corps and the Council of National Defense are all urging the young women graduates of to-day to enter schools for nurses. lowa Women Talk German Over Phone; SIOO Fine Davenport, la., June 15.

WILSON WOODROW | I have never been a father. Any estimate of mine upon the ethics or proper engagements of that condi tion would of necessity be academic, lacking in the flavor of personal ex perience. Consequently, when a woman wrote me the other day for an opin ion on her husband as a parent—she had apparently no other ground of complaint against him—l promptly sought advice as from an expert of one whom I have always considered a shining success in that relation. He read the leter over which I handed to him, and smiled. "Fathers, like poets, are born not made," he said, "and the ideal material is often denied the actual experience. Take the two poets, Longfellow and James Whitcomb Riley, for instance. Each of them had an especial understand ing of and an especial appeal to childhood. As Riley says of Long fellow: " 'Awake, he loved their voices. And wove them into his rhyme; And the music of their laughter Was with him all the time.' "And it was as true of the man who wrote the lines as of him about whom they were written. They both spoke the language of childhood. They both knew and could express the heart and the mind of the chlltl. They both were adored by children. Yet Riley was a bachelor his whole life long. "The reason then why so many men fail at the job," he went on "is because they have not the na tural gift of fatherhood, and either will not or don't know how to cul tivate it. Most men who marry ex pect to have children, and are full of theories and plans as to the rais ing of them, but when the child ac tually arrives, and they find all their ideas and suggestions overruled at first by feminine authority, and later by the self-willed, autocratic mite itself which they are proposing to train, they speedily become discour aged. "As a matter of fact," he said soberly, "they are essaying the hard est, most thankless task in the world with practically no schooling or preparation for it. The father, as most househoulds are constituted, is the source of supply. His time, his energy, his whole mind must be giv en up to his business. His brief hours at home, when he is tired out and his mind engrossed with business problems, hardly give him an oppor tunity to become acquainted 'with his children, much less to establish that rapprochement and spirit of mutual understanding which is the ideal relationship between parent and child. "He, too, is unfairly made the po- lice power of the family, at once the tribunal and the officer of correction. 'l'll tell your father on you when he comes home,' is a threat constant ly held over the child, and although he may doubt the justice of the com plaint and may believe the testimony against the offender garbled, he dare not for the sake of domestic peace fail to inflict punishment. Thus he is made a bugbear to his children, and they learn to regard him with a rankling sense of injustice. "In short, he sees himself slav ing his life away for the benefit of offspring who take it as a matter of course, and give him neither thanks nor consideration in return. His heart may yearn toward them, but between them and him there is a great gulf fixed. He does not share their interests, nor they his. "He is thj 'Old Man'—an auto crat to be wheedled or cajoled for favors and to be more or less fear ed, but never a comrade or pal. And so the fatherhood which should be a blessing to a man—the best enrich ing influence of his life—becomes a blight. "The lady who writes to you says," he referred to the letter, "that her husband is man in moderate cir eumstncesfi of good habits and with a kindly disposition, but that he seems to lack a natural and proper interest in his two children, one six years old and the other eight. He desires them to have every advan tage nossible, and is In no way cross or unkind, but he does not extend the sympathy and companionship that she thinks a father ought to give. He never plays or frolics with ♦ hem in the home, and always ob jects to taking them anywhere with him on the plea that they would be i too much bother. "My advice to this wife and to all wives," my friend paused thought fully a moment, "would be constant ly to hold up the absent husband to the children as a model of all the virtues and as a person to be loved. Never let him be criticized or called to account before them. Never let them be threatened with him. Paint him as all that is good and noble and onerous. Make them love him. And since love always begets love, and there is nothing so irre sistible as the love of a qhild, the, hardest, most selfish or self-cen tered man in the world can be made into a real father. "There was a letter published re cently as an editorial in the Hearst papers which I wish every father and mother in the world could read. It was from a father whose only son had fulfilled his every hope and-Is now a splendid boy of twenty-seven fighting in France, and the writer made it plain that this result had been attained whdlly through an ab solute loving co-operation between himself and his wife. "Then you consider," said I, "that the making of good fathers is a matter that is up to the mothers?" "I do," he answered. "Don't you ?" "Maybe, in some cases," I an swered cautiously.
