Two Unhappy Marriages
Dear Miss uiack:
"I havo read your ndvlco to so many
ithers, I wonder If you can help me. 1
married when I was but V5, becauo I
needed ji home, and the man eald I
could "have any
thing I wanted and
go any nlaco I
pleased and that
I should never re
Kret It." and I be
lieved him, and oh!
I did want so much
to be loved and ap
preciated. This man, who
wn twlco my age,
treated me with the
Greatest Indiffer
ence. He seldom
spoke to mo after
the first year, ex
cept to gtvo some
order or to curso me.
Muybo I did wrong, but I left him
when I was -23, left with three babies
to support and having specialized In no
line, I found it very hard.
When I was S3, a man over 40 atked mo
to become his wife. He had a J10,(W)
farm, owned u house In town, which he
said hu would modernize, had some money
In the bank, and was In u small business.
He told me of the nice homo we should
have and what he would do for the
children.
I'vo lie ;n 'married'' over 'two yearfJnow,l
this In the third winter, and I am still
wearing my old green eoat that was get
ting fhabby two winters ago. I've only
eptMit 13.23 for hats since I married him
ilhat Is all he has given me, 1 mean.
Mother and big brother send me a little
money once In a while.) lly husband
never bought mo a pair of gloves or a
dross. I've made the boys' suits out of
old trousers and coa'tn that have been
given me, and my aunt clothes my Httla
girl, and etlll lie -calls trie extravagant.
When I am getting a meal hi suys I
l.avo too much fire, "don't I. know cool
costs money?" The first thing he does
when ho steps in the hoiis'6' at night is
to tuin down the lamp' nnd' look In tho
ntove to sfe how much of a firo there Is,
u.d then begins a lecture on economy.
What Is tho -matter with this man or
what Is the matter with me?
I am taking a correspondenco course to
fit me for a position In the business
world. I don't believe I am doing v.toik.
I wonder why a wlfo is expected to be
.a. professional buggar, and why It would
not be Just as honorable If beg we must
to Just tako our little tin cup and go
down on the corner and beg; I beltevo
wo would stand a better chance of get
ting a few pennies. What do you think?
Yours trul'. A HEADER.
What an unlucky little person you are,
to be sure. Twice married and both times
a falluro, I wonder if It can be in anyway
your fault Just the least little bit In the
world'.' Vou tay so much about man's
property, hl prospects, what he Is able
to do and alt that, and so little about the
man hmself. Can It be that you marry
Just for wh,at yon can got and not at all
tor what you cap give?
lly WIMKIlfil) BLACK.
AV'nrc you in love wth either of theso
men when you married them? Not doad
In love, perhaps, I doubt if one of m
eminently a practical turn of mind as
yours seems to bo could over bo madly
In love with any one, but was there ever
a tlmo yoifthought you couldn't be happy
without "him?"
Were you ever afraid something would
happen that ho would cease to love you,
or did you "do all your worrying about
what ho' might or might not glvo you?
What did you plan to offer htm In re
turn for all these things houio and home,
and clothes, j(nd food, shelter and pro
tection in a 'thousand ways Just your
services as housekeeper?
Why did you riot make a business bar
gain of it to begin with and be done with
it? Why do you call any such contract
as that a "marrlago?"
Don't you suppoto it possible that the
mnn found you wanting In same way?
Yon iiaven't had what you expected when
you married him: has ho had what he ex
pected and what he had a right to ex
pect? Iet that old curmudgeon of yours fall
In love with a.. woman who will pretend
to bo in love with him, Just only pretend !
at that, and see what he'll do to mako
his money fly to please her.
Have you never pretended very hard?
Or did you make it perfectly plain to him
that you married him Just for what you
could get out of him; and are you sur
prised that ho. should show hU recent
mehl in tho only way he thinks he' can
.make you feel It?, I am not.
Perhaps It isn't your fault at all; per
haps this eort of ma,n marries you bo
causo he sees that you are obedient, long
suffering, easily duped, and not hard to
manage. If "that's the case I'd show him
that he was mistaken, and I'd show him 1
now. t
I would not live- with any man In a
state of bondage, not if he were the last
man allvo and the pit gaped for hlra at
that. ,
"Why should woman be beggars?"
They should not be and they won't bo If
they are real women. y
Arc you doing wrong to learn a busi
ness so as to be self-tupportlng? You aro
not, you ar'o doing right, exactly right,
keep right on doing it, and lot men go
out of your life for good.
You've had enough of tho kind you
seem to select.
Take care of yourself and your chil
dren und be happy, and rree and forget
that you ever were any other way. That's
what I should do In your place. And in
the meantime I'd like to hear the man's
side of that story, too; It might be r.ston
lahlngly Interesting.

'about little Jllfh Blanche, and If you hhw
her In her home, and didn't know thut
uho nanu or woh on tho stiK', you would
j never bellovo that elm .wns anything but
mother's daughter, Jum u sweet little
home body.
or course, when you hear her sing,
that's a different thine. You wonder now
that great, bit; voire can come from such
a little mite ot a penton, und you're still
more surprised to think that the volco
has been there for some tlmo and really
owes its origin to the (Serry eoclety.
Yea, Indeed. In the irrepret alula con
flict which Is always waged between pre
cocious Kentug and the Gerry society the
society won, and decreed that Miss
Blanche, need II years, who was making
a tremendous succean as a Hinging Infant
prodigy, should retire from public life
until she was IS.
"Ono of the hardest things I ever had
to do," llttly Miss Blanche, .said to me,
placidly, as she sat on the sofa and swung1
her dlpilputlve feet, "was to repeat the
'hit' that J mado when I. was' a child j
aftw I was grown up."

But wp had ueglectud the Iniportant
subject of health. As a matter of fact all
interviews about tho health and looks ot
young stars should he elven out by their
motlpTs. There Is nothing so Interesting
In the modern stnjo as tho evolution of
the ttagn mother.
Miss niinnlir Is aii up-to-date person,
who looks to be her daunhter's elder
sister, who in.tivaeH daughter's career,
and looks after daughter's health with
the commanding efficiency which Is the
watchword of the progressive modern
woman. Ho white Mlra Blanor.e an
awrred my question she kept one oyo on
her charming mothr, and Mrs, Blanche
noddtd approval a& her daughtc sidr
"I think the most essential thing tj
health Is plenty of sleep and fresh alt).
I never have u. cold or throat troub!
of any kind, for""the good reason that
I nevor Htay In places where the ventila
tlon Is bad, and do not spend hours In
smoky restaurants, for Instance. Nothing
could be worse for the voice than reK
tnalnlng for a lonr time in places wherh
the air Is vitiated Hnd full of tobacc'
smoke, and you know the voice Is a.
sort of register of health.
"Another reason why I never have a
cold Is hecahse I don't wear high col
lars. Year In and year out I wear Uutcn
pecks or low turndown collara on my
frocks, and my throat and neck are
hardened sq that the change of atmos
