Little Mrs. Emma Talbot of Ore- gon. retiring after 4.7 years as a floor woman in a hotel says that women have degenerated amazingly curing the iastliilf-centurv They shine shoes on towels and carry off half the hotel equipment com- ,plained the 77-year-old woman, "and every year they are getting dirticr." So the four foot 4 l-Z inch tall woman. who figures she's made 300.000 beds. decided never to make another bed for profit. But "Little Emma," as hotel residents call her, wasn't ready to quit working at only 7'7.

WHIPPOORWILL

The whippoorwill has a hi: nioulli. In theory this mouth is peeiiliarLv ado-pied to rail-hing in- sects. for tho hlrd does i‘.s in- sert hunting at n.-glit and on the wing, says the New York Times. It. has to catch lots of insects in a hurry, for it lio-eslrt spend niucli time hunting. Most of its =ime is spent making noise with that bZ-g mouth.

The whippoorwill does not sing. If you are charitable about such ,nialiers you may call its noise a cull, hut it is iibout on n musical ipar with the squeaks of ui un- greased wagon wheel. Not as ‘piercing, yicrhaps, but more per- isistent.

World’s Meanest Wife

Woman Wants Husband Back llolilll litter Existence of Misery

_

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a woman in my late thirties. with foul- oliildren. two still in school and two out» of school. supporting them. selves. A year ago my husband left home and has slnce refused to live with me, although he has continued supporting us and is friendly to the children. He says lie will never live with me again and wants a divorce, but I have refused. feeling that he would still give in to me, as he always has before. but this time crying doesn't seem to change him.

Our quarrels were mostly about money. He wanted me to economize. claiming that I could help him by learning how to sew. saving on groceries. and even doing somc of the housework. He said that he couldn't afford the money I spent, but- this was just an excuse. for when I cried long enough he always managed to get the money.

Don't you think having: tour children gives a woman a right to take things easy? And isn't sav- ' lng money a man's worry? lle always complained ' because I accused hlm in front; of the children of associating xvii-h other women. I-lc knew I dldn‘t bsllcve it and only said, it to grt him to do the things I wanted hlm to do.

CHILDREN FAVOR. HIM i 20 of the best years of my life to him and now he t on me. I have trl:d to make the child- ren understand how mcan he is to do so, but they side with him and insist that I should give him a divorce. Please give me your advice

and tell me how I can make him come back. HEART-BROKEN WIFE.

I have given

e

tliirlks he can Zlliply walk oil

ANSWER: You say you have given 20 of the best years of your life to your husband. As you sqicnt them in torturing him. 'ou must have had a pleas. t time cf it. But how about your poor v spend 20 years enduring your abuse and your selfislii 5s and your suits before he summoned up enough courage to make a break away from you?

For downright meanness and llttlenass and laok of all compassion. I have never read any letter that I thought was so cruel as yours. and the marvel of it is. that you don't seam to realize what you have done. Thzt. you have put a. good man through 2K0 years of misery and ruined his life and yet you are not only not ashamed of it and sorry for it. but you want him to come back and 1c‘. you give another turn to the screw!

You ask how you can get hlm back. You can't. For you must know that. you have killed all of his affection and respect. for you. and that. if he has a grain of intelligence left. in him he will never put himself in your power again

DEAR BLISS DIX: I have a stepdaughter of l4 of whom I am very fond. and she has always been devoted to me until recently when she has begun to resent all authority. I try to handle her very tactfully and to make suggestions ratli-sr than commands. The main trouble is that she is vcry untidy about h" self and her room ait-d I get tired of picking up after her. What can I do?

STEPMOTHER.

ANSWER: All girls of that age are rebels. They are iust beginning to feel that they are grown-up and they resent all authority. And they are all lazy. Try leaving her clothes where she drops them and see if she will pick them up when she finds she hasn't. anything clean to wear.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I was in the Navy fcr six years and have just returned home. My trouble is that I am in love with a nice girl. but I am so bashful that I can't even talk to her ivitticut blundcrlng. The worst part cf it ls that to bolser up my coilrage I have begun drinking. vrhich I never did before. What wcuid you advise me to dc to get over being tongue-tied when I am in company? JIM.

ANSWER: Well. Jim I certainly wouldn't recommend liquor as a cure. for while 1t may make your tongue wcrk easier, it doesn't ini- prove the output. No ivertti-ivhlle girl ls going to vtnint to listen to the silly babbling of a half-drunk man: so cut out the whiskey. i

Girls don't require to be wooed in romantic and poetic language. l All they want is for a chap to tell them in plain words how pretty they are. and how much they love them. anti whet about getting maz-riei. And if you can't say it. just write it. If the girl wan-ts you. she will say "yes."

Ellen ’s Diary

By an Island Farmer's Wlh

Our Sabbath at. Alderles, powe- Iul and lovely. ended with a plea- sant stroll across ours. and neigh- boring farm-lands. Early in the evening, before the cows had been brought from zne pasture we- James and I- set out to visit the M's Whose lam-stead ours to the Iii-sat, niece are the some two, who have dwelt together in‘ peaceful and lovlns accord-like n pair o! coolng turtle doves- for many years. All. of their family of ten 5on3 and daughtem have gone out from '36 home acres to other occupations except one sturdy lad of a fellow of a dozen year5 brown now from sun anti winds and very alert. His constant companion in htlldiy time is a ilopeared black and white spaniel much esteemed for his loyalty and sagacity and a tine play-fellow. Croggjng the ine-tence. up the rise from our buildings twlth a creaking oncl complaining ol joints) we came to the across their skirting woodlands where were at even-song, then down to a precious sylvan retreat where a rustic bridge crosses a brook. Only a small sream in Summer. tlnkling happily and "blushing" almost unseen. A brook beside Whlcli‘<.._-e would be tempted b0 shed confining shoes and socks to feel again, the delight of wading in the clear cool ‘stream.

Angling a meadow then. car t- ed with the low SVNEl-slﬁéllﬂg white clover. we came down a de- cline to a "harming spot where echoes linger ﬁllil a bridge spins: the head of the river, which curves prettlly here and is lost presently around a bend.
