Cultivate a dozen things home: flowers, games, hospitality for tlie children, books ... By KATHLEEN NORRIS HEN we were married we were poor," writes Elizabeth Bates from St. Paul. "It wasn't only that we were happier then I knew we were happier. People don't often admit that they're happy, when circumstances are hard and uncertain, but we did. "W "Lee and I met in a great disaster, a flood. It was when we lived down South; we were both flooded out, and both began to help feed the refugees. I was in a big food center, combining beans, soup, hash and everything else into great hot goulashes, buttering buns, pouring hot coffee. Lee organized the distribution. I don't think either one of us was ever happier than in those days of change and terror. Between us, with an army of helpers, we got everything running so smoothly that our unit was considered far and away the best. "After that I lived with an aunt, took a job. Lee got a job and we were married. Quite in the spirit of our first meeting, our new home was a small abandoned garage. The cemented main floor was our sitting-roothe three small rooms upstairs our living rooms. It was such an adventure, it was all such fun! "Then when Lee sold a piece of property destroyed by flood and no longer in a residential district, we went abroad for two marvelous years. Our expenses for those 25 months averaged $100 a month, and we cams home with Michael thrown in for good measure. Lee Joins Law Firm "While Lee finished his law course, we lived in one room off a kitchen in a big house. I cooked and waited on table for our room and board, and Sheila came to join Michael, Lee and me. Sundays Lee washed the cars, raked the lawn, cut wood, and I worked in the kitchen from early morning until 10 at night. We saved money, and presently a fine law firm asked Lee to join it, and were we I'd never finished high proud I school but of course he had had just about 20 years of schooling. "Well, then we had to stop with the domestic position, and we took a flat; managing wasn't so easy on one salary, and I began to sense even then what I know now so well, that I wasn't keeping up with Lee. His pay was small, but his firm thought the world of him, and he began to be noticed politically and to make speeches. Then four years ago he was sent to a big convention as a delegate, and actually was nominated for state office. But the One offer from St. Paul came then and we moved here. "Now I have three children, 8, and 3. We are prosperous. I have a good girl to help me. But Lee has left me behind. There is another woman: I think I always knew that there would be.

A woman, beleaguered by a of her own sex, will accomplish nothing icith divorce threats, tearful pleadings and separation, cautions Miss Norris. The only remedy for a wife in these unenviable circumstances is to ignore the affair, pretty herself up and strive to be a sweetj interesting person. It is a difficult home-break- er task which many have endured in their battles to retain tliat which rightfully belongs to them. The story of Elizabeth Bates is a typical tale of the "rags to riches" variety.

You can't have youth, success, devoted husband, fine children, wealth not all at once. You've lost Lee, yes; but It needn't be for long. My advice is neither for Lee nor for his new love.
