The Natural Reaction. Modern marriage, with its quick divorces, its resulting independence and alimony, is the natural reaction to this unnatural situation. Girls painfully have fought their way to independence and freedom, and if that freedom is being abused in its turn perhaps that is only the swing of a pendulum that will presently right itself. Certainly a husband today is infinitely more reasonable, considerate and faithful than a husband had to be a few generations ago, when anything he did was perhelpless that by pardoned force and always was who companion, forever, to the end of the chapter, part him did until death actually from her-his wife. But today's way means that any attractive woman, perhaps with two or three unsuccessful marital experiences behind her, can pick upon any desirable mate, and even though Willis Hudlin stat, Al Milnar and ro. are his only starting be a conn comes back to .

No question of that. Some men were bullies at home, bad fathers, bad providers, unfaithful. Wives had no redress. They bore the children and they bore with the children's father in uncomplaining martyrdom, year after year. A friend of mine who married a foreigner, 30 years ago, lived in far and lonely exile from her own land, and had to endure the presence of a beautiful dancer, a chorus girl, in her own home, as her husband's mistress. When he went on a pleasant trip, on his yacht or behind his span of dashing horses, the dancer went, too. When the mistress objected to the noise the children made, the two smallest ones were sent away to a country nurse. of many a faithful wife and devoted mother insufferable. Only two generations ago a father could order grown daughters supperless to their rooms, could forbid their marrying this man or that, could keep them- and in most cases did keep them, idle at home, penniless, dependent, all their days. It came to the 11 Barrett children by slow degrees, some 60 years ago, that their father didn't intend any one of them to have any love affairs whatsoever.

It isn't that Bell and Allen are the two outstanding players on the Indian roster. Their importance lies in the fact that their services are necessary if Cleveland is to have a good year. Right now they're both unknown quantities. Maybe they can't come through and maybe they can. You know what Oscar Vitt hopes. In trading Bruce Campbell for Beau Bell, Manager Vitt secured the services of a man who hit above .340 in 1936 and '37.

That is the fact, from a purely practical point of view. The moral considerations, affecting the vow men and women take, ‘‘for better or for worse,'' I leave to the theologians. I am merely thinking here that divorce does unsettle the mind of husband and wife. If there were no divorce things would go differently in the family circle. But as it is today no matter how determined the woman is to make her marriage a success; no matter how anxious the man is to have his home one of the happy homes of the world, there is always this in the back of the thoughts of each: ‘And if it simply won't work, there's divorce.'' eighth a smash that wrecked a clas- Nos MARTHA Kansas cents for each City, Mo. pattern vicseccese vivcs Cecccccccccccccccccececees Invented Propeller in that broke the resistance ofiby Dizzy Dean to the Yankees : ‘second game of the 1938 world - Pattern 15 Address up for in the to: 166-W Enclose sired.

"My life is made completely wretched by jealous anxieties,' writes a woman from Columbus, Ohio. ‘‘I've fought it, I've prayed about it, but with every fresh instance of my husband's attractiveness to women and their feeling for him, I am down in the depths again. He likes to flirt; he is continually involved in an affair with some fascinating woman. He writes them delightful notes; meets them for lunch, makes them little presents, but refuses to open his mouth to me on the subject. "With the help of a young boy I do my own work in an eight-room house,'"' the letter goes on. ‘‘We have two small children, a vegetable garden, chickens, and I love every inch of it. I love my kitchen, my piano, my books, my room. Why should all this that I have built up be jeopardized by the selfishness of casual outsiders, who at best take him away from us, waste his money, and put us all into a false position, and at worst may lead any day to his asking me to set him free. I suppose it would be silly to say that in spite of all this I love him, but I do love him, love other sides of his nature which are more dependable, and I suffer a continual sense of inferiority and helplessness very hard to bear.'' A Vain Boy at Heart. It is just a hundred years since Frederic Sauvage, inventor of the propeller, died in abject poverty in a little hotel at Le Havre, France. Sauvage was a military engineer who left the army to devote himself to shipbuilding. After 10 years of painstaking research he invented the propeller. Sauvage received little honor during his lifetime. His invention was at first laughed to scorn, and while he was in prison for a paltry debt of a few hundred francs, unscrupulous rivals stole his idea and started to produce propellers. Powerful shipping companies fitted their vessels with Sauvage's invention, but when he tried to sue them his case was thrown out of court. He died poverty-stricken.

Manners Not Idle For manners are not idle, but the fruit of loyal nature and of noble mind.-Tennyson. This husband, and hundreds like him, is a type of the man who grows up in a business sense, and in some ways in a mental sense, but who remains a vain boy at heart. He is as tickled today, at 34, with the artless flatteries of new women acquaintances, as he was 15 years ago. He doesn't want to hold his own in a real world, where friendships, books, home, garden, children and birthdays fill his leisure hours. THE AWFUL PRICE YOU PAY FOR He doesn't realize that the quiet companionship of the woman who has loved him all these years is real, and that the feelings he thinks he has for the other woman are selfdeception. He hasn't sense enough in matters of the heart to look about him at the men who have married the objects of their ‘‘grande passion,'? only to be bored and disillusioned, after a few years. And he isn't big enough, or his mother didn't train him thoroughly enough to know that the only sure path to comfort and happiness in middle age is to learn to live the hard married years in faithfulness and kindness and content, taking their real joys and richness in place of the younger excitements and flatteries and dreams. functional disorders.
