He is the finest man on earth but Mother twists him around her finger. I hate to speak - ill of my Mother. But I must explain and 'she my position. She is very vain, she loves to pose as a girl. So dresses me as a child. As I am_ small, with my hair permanently curled in| him go by all means. childish ringlets, I am. usually taken for about thirteen. Mother claims to I should do so?

I love my Mother,| and I do not mind doing the house- work so that she may enjoy herself. But recently I have discovered' that she is grossly untrue to Dad. She has always had men friends, but he would just laugh and say "your Mother can't help being attractive." He trusts her, but now I am old enough to know that | she does not deserve it. Mother was quieter and stayed at "home more before I left school. She } did the housework then. My uncle has offered to give me a light office posi- tion but both my parents tell me I am needed at home. Don't you think it would be better for them if I went to werk? + Ree LITTLE ANNE. Answer: _ . It seems a erying shame for your Mother to sacrifice your education to, her own selfishness, You are very wise to leave her to do her own house- work. She will at least have less time to idle away. It will be much better for you too. For you will meet young people of your own age and interests, and will escape brooding*over your Mother's faults. . Hoping all will turn out well. Ina St. John. * * * Dear Miss St. John: Iam a widow with one son. I have educated him so that he may never have to do heavy work. He is an ex- perienced book keeper. But he has been unemployed for six months. At first he was utterly discontented, but of late he seems almost satisfied to be idle. He amuses. himself with his friends and has a happy time. For, of course, I cannot see him shabby or penniless. Put I am worried for fear ne may become a chronic idler: For he has an uncle of that type. He can get work on the Northern highway, but we did not consider such heavy work. However, he is strong, and rather than spoil him IF would When we were married my oe changed. We have' two. sons, and their father does not even expect them to treat me with respect. I have lived for my family alone--' never taken time to interest myself in! outside matters. Why, if I dine down- | ers bring my husband's food, then the! boys, and last my own. They are al- ways first, yet they treat me almost scornfully. What can I do? | JANET. ; Answer: ° | You have invited your husband and Sons to walk over you Janet. It is late in the day to change matters. How- ever, it might pay you to have a little respect for yourself even now. They have accepted you at your own 'valu- ation'! By such insane means as in-| sane means as-insisting that waiters. serve your husband and sons before you, you have killed all the chivalry in their attitude toward you. But if vou proper place in the family circle ~ it will pay you in every way. ; Ina St. John. Dear Miss St. John: . Do you believe in mental telepathy? HELEN. Answer: Is there any reason why one should) doubt the power of mental telepathy, | Helen? Is it any more mysteriously | impossible than the radio? It is an open question memerly because it has Ina St.. John. IT WAS NOT HER FAULT. A lady accosted a little girl who was' entering oné of the fashionable N.
