There are comfort. their men leaving them alone in the evening. But take it from me, the most of the men would be mighty glad-to settle down and rest in the evening if there was any chance of it at home. ONE OF THEM. Answer-- Some women like to show their husbands what slaves they are by saving their hardest tasks until the evening. But I agree with you, "One of Them." A man who works hard all day should have a restful home atimosphere. And when they have such a home there is little temptation to step out alone. JNA ST, JOHN. e 6 Dear Miss St. John: We have a dear old aunt who lives alone with her maid. We were always glad to kéep her com- pany when the maid was out, or to take her motoring on fine days. But now all that is changed. She refuses to allow us to do anything for her, preferring to depend on her late son's wife. This woman was far from kind to poor John while he lived and scarcely ever called upon his mother. When he died she was (apparently) quite indiffer- ent. That is just a year ago. But since then Auntie was bequeathed a large sum of money. We and all Aunty's friends believe that her daughter-in-law is scheming to get the money. Should we tell our aunt what we think, or not ? BLANCHE AND VIRGINIA. Answer--There is a chance that you mistake the daughter-in-law's motives, Blanche and Virginia. | Perhaps she regrets her unkind: treatment of her late husband and | she is honestly seeking to make up| for it by comforting his aged) mother. i But even if your surmise | is correct, "Where ignorance is | bliss'tis folly to be wise.' You' will serve your atnt best by re- fraining from any interference. INA ST. JOHN. * * = Dear Miss St. John: My wife frequentlv entertains an old sweetheart of hers.

Your niece has enjoyed her sister's company, and naturally she still likes to be with her more than to be at home with an older person. Since you are worrying about it, you might encourage her to enter- tain young people at your home as often as possible. She should not make her sister and brother-in-law her only associates, for the sake of all concerned. INA ST. JOHN.
