Simple: We still have five of your questions to answer, having disposed of three of them yesterday. They are: 4. Are not elrl protected too much by American laws, thus making them weak er? 5. Why do men eipert erlrls to be mors perfect xamples than themselves? 6. Why are- so many men golnn about with other girls besides their sweethearts and wives? 1. Why ar men so busy making money and so poor at managing love af fairs successfully? 8. And with all this, why are we ad vancing In civilization? 4. Tou exhibit astounding igno rance for one of such apparent good sense when you say girls are pro tected too much by American laws. Some girls and women are made - weak by too much indulgence, but not by too much legal protection. Laws have been made by men and for men through most of time. I haven't time to cite you examples of great injustices to women which may be found in our Btstute books today. Nebraska has as good legis lation for women as any state, but even here there aresome discrimi nations against women in regard to property rights. A man may buy bends, for example, store them away In his safety box and some time prior to his death give them to the nurse who cared for him, leaving the wife who has made the fight of life with him penniless. He couldn't will his property away from " his wife, but he could make any gift of personal property during his life, time and be within his legal rights. In other words, while our laws pro tect the wife fairly at a husband's death, and while they give her just Interest in real property during his lifetime, they do not represent her In the personal property acquired by both of them after marriage. Our men have always been better than our laws, you know. In fact it is difficult to cover some of the finer points of jujtice by law. Man. un der our aystem, holds the advan tageous position. That is as it should be so long as he is re.ponM , bl for the support of his family. E ia the economic head of hi beam and must have some leeway in iaaaaglng financial affairs. Natur. t Vt soma advantages ovej the woman and while It works out well enough in the majority of cases it refutes with a specific case your point that women are too much pro tected by law. I could cite you laws from ther states which work absolute injustice upon wives, discriminating against them as to their right to their own wages, the right . to their children in case of divorce, etc. 5. Woman has. In the past, been more sheltered and, I think, more virtuous than man and men have cbnsequently come to expect a high er standard from her than from themselves. It is wrong, of course, but its basis is custom and circum stdtic 6. Why does man err is what your question means. The query goes all the way. back to Adam and much too deep a t.nt for me. Sur face reasons a-plenty could be given, but you know what they are. 7. I've known some who were rather good at the latter and poor at the former. 8. Progress Is the law of life. My own belief is that God Himself wills that we shall . progress. I cannot assume to explain the "scheme of things entire," but I firmly believe that trie guiding hand of the universe lives and Is capable of determining many things aboyt which we mortals needlessly con cern ourselves. A final word to you: Tou are evi dently doing some thinking on im portant human problems, but I judge from the questions themselves that you lack the information for working out answers. Tou should read more substantial literature. . I don't mean current events (though of that I approve), but of good es says (try tiupklrf and Eoierson) of philosophy, of psychology and good drama. Tou - should read what might be called "reflective" litera. ture. Tou don't see life as a wTiole sufficiently. Tou seem to be rather arbitrary. Morals, customs and things are sharply distinguished by you into right or wrong, desirable or undesirable. But that ism't life. Life Is complex and relative. Do this reading I suggest and your brain will txpand and jour sympathies along with it. Problems J "V K my marriage ir Adele Garrison's New Phase of "REVELATIONS OF A WIFE' (Copyright: lt::.

No. I'll take that bag, by your leave. You can do without that ac cessory to your role of bellboy. And, by the way. shall I not settle now for 'Mrs. Black's bill?'" His hand went toward the pocket where he keeps his billfold, but an authoritative gesture from the little physician arrested it. We won t discuss that now. he said decisively. "Time enough later, The thing now is to get Mrs. Gra ham to ,her new quarters with as little delay and exertion as possible." A Safe Transfer. I thanked him mentally, for my head beneath the hat I had put on was throbbing with nervous pain. Lillian, with her usual thoughtful- ness, had stuffed a dark veil m the pocket of the long motor coat she had sent by Dicky, and with it draped around my hat in such a way that my forehead was hidden, I was able to disguise my plight to some small degree. But I knew that such a drapery alone would at- Camp Fire Girls Can you identify 20 wild birds. identify and describe 10 kinds of moths or butterflies, carve a useful piece of furniture, write song of a bird, design and make a basket or make a useful household invention?

It proved, however, a far less formidable ordeal than I had thought. Wc met only a few people on the way. and though each paid my bi zarre appearance the triUite of a glance, quick, prolonged, furtive or open, the consciousness of protec tion which the presence of Dicky and the physician gave nic sup ported me so firmly that I reached the haven of the suite Dr. McDer mott had secured for n without the collapse which I secretly had feared when I started upon my short jour ney. The little physician gave me a re storative as soon as the door had shut behind tis, and spoke authori tatively to Dicky. "She is to lie down at once," he said, "and keep perfectly quiet for half an hour. After that we'll dis cuss the matter of the little supper you were kind enough to propose." The Doctor Scores. He left the room somewhat abruptly, and I felt Dicky's fingers busy with the fastenings of my cloak and hat. "There!" he said masterfully, flinging them, man-like, in a heap on the floor. "Those are out of the way." He lifted me, bore me to the lilUe bedroom, and put me carefully ddwn on the bed, loosened my frock, took off my shoes, covered me carefully, and, stooping, kissed me. "Try to sleep a little," he said tenderly. I put up my arms, clasping him closely, tremuously. ' "I can't sleep," I said, "hut I can rest here wonderfully, and I do want you to know how much it means to me to have you here. I feci so safe, some way." "I'll sit outside the cave with my stone hatchet," he promised lightly, "and nary another cave man shall come within howling distance, and if you are a good girl and keep quiet, me and the Doc will let you join us when the kill is ready." He tiptoed nut ff the room, ami I ljy uuict, the throbbing iurvotH I-ain gradually leaving my forehead.
