"I shouldn't think that would be particularly proiitable news." , remarked the Charlottenburg dry- ‘ ly. "I've always thought you fancied that dehydrated and high- ly solemn mummy, since the night I met him at your home at dinner." ,

"Heaven, Ohariottenburg," cried Kitty, “how you raver What would Sierra see in that owlish young man with a passion ior wiping little noses‘! What a periect mate Florence will not make him.”

"They are going to live in New Zealand." . \

‘That will be a. help. 1 can ia-ncy you aunt. to a large crop ‘ oi little New Zealanders." '

"There is little we can do, Sier- ra, pxcept sit ti ht. and be prayeriui until kit's fancied strain oi wit and humor hse run its course."

"Also, my,iather is going to marry Leonore Boerdman."

“I think," said Kitty, toaing< her lavender-clad paws in a mock gesture, "that my wee seli is go- ing to faint," and slumped softly in her chair.

"Many a true word." remarked - the Charlottenburg, popping cara- .way seeds rapidly into her mouth. "Your father, Sierra, is even a bigger fool than 1 thought. But on with your discourse, while Kitty pulls herself together."

"Sierra, my babe in the wood, did it ever occur to you that l would have married your rather like a shot?"_

"Kitty, what nonsense!"

"Why nonsense?"

"For one thing, my papa is old enough to be your rather."

"Suppose?"

"Kitty, you're being ridiculous!"

“Oi course I am. But I'm either going to leather my matrimonial bed now, or spend the rest oi my liie trying to live by my wits, an amusing enough method while young, but precarious as the ar- teries begin to cssiiy."

“But my iather—"

"I would have made you an admirable stepmother."

"I prcier you this way, Kitty." "apparently Elena's rather does too.’ "Charlottenburg, mocker oi my pain! It's not iair. This is Leonardo third. 'I‘hey all die na- tural ' or conceivably unnatural l‘ ‘r _ln bed, adoring her and leaving badly depleted estates, in- stead oi the iortune she visualized when she married them. Take the entire procession, Horace Bramp- n, John Plow, Robbie Board- man. Well, anyway, now as I emerge ieebly from my iaint, may I inquire what oi Oliver Plow, whom I've never met, but who they do say has a way with us ladies?"

' . ﬁReally, Kitty. you seem to ., j. , knowggo much more about all this ' ‘ - than I do. From what little I've seen, I think Leonora Boardman is lovely." , "She's the best thing, o! course,

that could have happened to a rough and subdued diamond like your papa," snapped the Char- lottenburg. "She has sweetness, she has breeding. The Oowen are three generations New York and first-rate Scotch-Irish background. Lemon's greedy as a puppy but good-natured. She's lived in shabby gentiiity too long not to see to it that this marriage is a success." - . _ "Would it be amiss.” smiled . _. "= " Sierra, "ii I were to suggest that ' . you two realize the iact that the |Baldwin iamlly's eccentric spin-

‘ster, what with Florence's and , iather's marriages, is now iree to set herself up in quarters with that arresting and irresistible mis- stress oi all trades, Miss Katherine Mullane, and her colleague Miss Charlotte Ames, whcldeiies class- iiicstion."

"Are you in the act oi advising us that you are about to pool your resources with us and achieve ‘Iwenty-one East?"

lieretey Ilx Says — _ - A (Continued from Page a) l’ m l

my wife went to live with relatives I had iorbldden her to speak to and l was so angry that I didn't communion‘ with her ior some years. Finally. I iorgave her and asked her to come back to ms and we would start all over again. but she illed suit ior divorce and it was grantedp Later on, I married a young girl whom I loved dearly and with whom I have been very happy. Lately my wlia has asked to be given another chance ior the children's sake so that they can have a tether. The children are very dear, but l haven't seen them since they were babies until now.

i don't care tor my iirst wiie and I love my second dearly. l know I can never be hsppy with my first wife, but it is the children l am thinking oi. l havhtslked this over with my present wife and we are both miserable. What should we do‘! _

A TROUBLED MAN

ANSWER: You can't unecrambie eggs, brother; What has been done is done. and that's alljhere is to it. Your first wife divorced

,_ you oi her own accord when you were anxious to make up and ea-

iabiiah a home for her and the children. She has to abide by that. decision, and it is preposterous to ask you to ﬁiorce your present

wile and rsmarry her lust because she has changed her mind.

The other: you would only make miserable. Don't let any foolish idea oi a

Your duty now is to your wife whom you can make happy.

theoretical duty cause you to mess things up any worse. li yov can establish a iriendphip with the children, have them come to visit you. Do what you can for them financially, but don't divorce your present wife and remarry the other one.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My sweethearfs inther has not worked for the last year and her small salary has been the only support for her parents and a minor. We are planning to be married very soon, but I wonder ii I would he obliged to have her iamiiy live with us and if the law would iorce me to support them. She lives a very unhappy life at home and the more she does for her iamliy, the more

they expect. PERPLEXED

ANSWER: The law would not compel you to support your wiit-‘s family, but a moral law would. You could not see them starve, and that is apparently what would happen it all they have to live on is taken away from them.

it is a common thing for men and women io say that when they merry they do not marry their husband's or their wife's people. Bul they do. You had besi. accept that beiore you go on with the wedding.
