4 B THE BEE: OMAHA, SUNDAY, JULY 31, 1921. Love of Home Decreasing ? By LORETTO C. LYNCH. "I the love of home declining in America ?" This is a question about which people have been writ ing me litters. Taken collectively, 1 believe the love of the home to be as great as over. Rut in the larger cities, where folks are living under artificial con ditions and the high cost of living is felt keenly, the love of home or the expression of that love in the form of a concrete home has been much sup pressed. Haven't you met the ultra-maui-eured seemingly mature woman of AC who visits the little suburbanite who has raised two or three nice chil dren and, perhaps, just paid the last installment on trie clearest little Home one can imagine. Perhaps, in expectation of Mrs. Visitor, you have spent all day Sat urday putting that home in order. And after she has eaten three man sized helpiugs of home-raised chick en, fried to a turn, a dozen creamy biscuits, and had a second helping of home-grown strawberry shortcake, haven't you heard her say, "My dear, it is splendid; but, do you know, I could never be bothered with a home it's all such a bother. John and I just have a room and we dine here and there." Yet, 1 honestly believe that in her heart of hearts the woman does not say what she really means. Her homing instinct has been preverted. Perhaps, long ago, when she started out, she and John planned the little home just as enthusiastically as sweethearts everywhere are planning now. And perhaps they started. What happened? I don't know. But were you to ask me to guess, I'd say, that as the housing proposition grew more serious, as rent rose out of all proportion to the income, they were forced to have fewer rooms. And this crowding process continued un til they were down to one room. Her interest was waning. Were she a strong character but she just wasn't, and in the pushing about she lost the desire to establish a real home when the income rose far above the needs. ' In the little suburban home Mrs. Visitor saw the real joys of crea tionenticing food from mother Earth establishing, creating a home. And when she belittled the other woman's effort do you think she honestly meant to do so? Or was she, perhaps, so immature mentally that she still enjoyed youth ful nomadic rovings after elusive happiness, not realizing that real happiness centres around the heart stone with all its shortcomings? Is the love of home declining? What do you think? Frock of Duvetyn "Confetti" is a daytime tailored frock for street wear. 'Tis made of black duvetyn, embroidered with va-ri-colored black bone beads.

Problems That Perplex Answered by , BEATRICE FAIRFAX What' the Trouble? Dear Miss Fairfax: I am another one of those disgusted wives. Am 2X years old, have been married three years, have one little boy 14 months old and will soon have an other. Miss Fairfax, my husband -Juwi-certainly been a puzzle to me for the last year. He Is out of work and does not seem to care In the least.' He has not worked for 11 "months. He has been offered sev eral good positions but turned thrm all down because he said they did not Day enough waees for the amount of work done. He seems t want big wages for little work. When we were first married, we lived with his parents but Just be fore our baby was born we went to slay with my parents and here we have been ever since. I was work ing for a while but as I am unable to work now. It leaves us entirely to the support of my parents. I never have asked him for a cent of money, and what he has given me has been given just because he wanted to give it to me. If I ask him to do anything for me, he re fuses and thinks I am more able to wait on myself. , When he is at home he complains of being sick all the time and per haps In the next half hour he will he out playtnpr ball or horseshoes. He seems to care a great dpal for me, and when I speak of leaving him, he alwavs begs mo to please, stay and he will go out and work if he has to dig dirt. This goes by and he forgets that he has ever said It. Now. please. Miss Fairfax, will you advise mo what to do? My feelings are like this: When he speaks kind to me and treats me like a human, T feel that I love him and would like to stay with him, hut when he is cross and re fuses to do for me ns a husband should, I feel that I hate him and never want to see him asaln. Is this true or false love? Should I leave him or stay with him and be dependent on my parents? Please tell me how to settle my diffloulties. Thanks. MARY.

Mrs. Coolidge, wife of the vice president, and their two sons, Calvin, jr., and John motored to Mercerville, Pa., on Monday to look over tne Mercer academy where the two boys are entered for the next school year. Frincess Fatima, with her nephew and' her sons, motored to Mt.

Mrs. Mary Kinkaid, sister-in-law of Representative Moses P. Kinkaid of O'Neill, Neb., whose secretary she was for some time, is leaving Washington early next month for California to join her son who lives there. Mrs. Kinkaid will probably not return to Washington except to visit. She has recently been one of the most active of the newspaper women of the capital, and also in the suffrage cause. She was one of the three women who made an ef fort and almost succeeded in estab lishing a theater and moving picture house for children, financed by women and managed by women, to produce plays by American authors. The scheme was abandoned some time ago., Mrs. Kinkaid was one of the favored newspaper' women who were Mrs. Harding's guests on the Mavflower a fortnight or more ago Mrs. Clarence Day, nee Smith, of Omaha, who has been in Panama for several months visiting Col. and Mrs. Ernest D. Teak at Quarry Heights, Canal Zone, will return to her home in Washington the middle of next month and join her mother and Colonel Day, who have remained here with her young son. Mrs. Day has been wonderfully entertained during her visit. Recently the pres ident of Panama, Senor Porras, who w,as for many years minister to this country, and Mm'e.

Mrs. Catherine Remington and Miss Florence Holden, both of Oma ha, who were in New York attend ing the convention of the Wood men's circle, spent a few days in Washington this week enroute home. They were in a party of other dele gates from the middle west and vis ited the White House, Mt. Vernon, Arlington and most of the sights in the city. They also met many old home friends around the capitol. Mrs. Remington is the supreme banker of the council and Miss Holden is also an officer. Mrs. Harry A. Williams, jr., of Norfolk is expected to come to Washington for the next week-end to be the guest of Mrs. Frazier Ed wards, who was her guest early this month in Norfolk. Mrs. Williams will go to the White Sulphur springs late in August. or even her husbands people, to live after marriage. It gives the man such an easy chance to shift responsibility, and it is so much harder to keep perfect harmony when two families live together. I do not advise you to leave your husband now. The time may come when you will have to, but dince you really seem to care for him make one big. strong effort to redeem him from what seems to me to be in excusable laziness. These are the thlnprs you should do: First, make sure your husband Is in good health. His laziness might arise from tuberculosis or other ill ness. Then by all means insist upon your own little home.

Don't let others do for your husband, par ticularly your folks. I feel sure if . vou can manage to get your hus band to move into your own home, you will be able to work out your problem. At Vast try that before you resort to divorce, which I can plainly see you do not want. Heartsick Girl: Now. my dear child, you get right over the idea that you have wrecked your life. You have done wrong, but you have the right Idea of life and If you take hold of yourself in a good and strong way you will make a fine, useful citizen in the world. By all means explain to . the boy and strike out on a new path. I wish I could talk to you. You need courage and strength. Seize them for yourself. But do not repeat your mistakes.

Cover it over with a paper the same size. With a large pin or hatpin prick through the tipper layer to a number underneath. Then look for your answer to what kind of a mate you'll draw in the following: A Handsome youth be sure you'll have, Brown hair, high nose, and full of salve. 2 An honest tradesman is your lot, When he proposes, slight him not. 3 A man to your fair lot shall fall Who's slender, straight, and very tall. 4 Fair, ruddy, bushhaired is thy love; He'll keep thee well, and call thee dove. 5 A widower, though rich, you'll marry If you answer quick and do not tarry. 6 Proper and prim he'll surely be; His loving graces you will not see. Whether a maid shall have him she loves: B Be not too coy, he is your own, But through delay he may be gone. 2 He of your love would like to know; He'd soon propose if it were so. 3 Come set your hopes at rest, I say; He comes to plunder and run away. 4 A real close neighbor is your man, And he will have you, if he can. 5 Show him more kindness, he will speak; His heart with silence else will break. 6 Sigh no more, he does relent; Of his flirtations he repents. How ma.ny husbands you may ex pect: C It's very true that vou shall we A second time before you re dead. 2 With one alone thy self shall be iouU sail a smooth sea of matrimony. 3 The stars three husbands do pressage And you shall die of a ripe old age. 4 Wed thou at once or else, I fear, Ihou will not much for wedlock care. 5 Too much of pride will niak thee tarrv: If you don't take care you'll never marry, 6 Accept the ring thy love would give For not very long will your husband live. Whether it be best to marry or not: D Don't fear that husbands are un kind; There s many a one w ould please your mind.
