Lacking Finesse, Con Keep Pace With Spouse By Improving Self DEAR MISS DIX: I am a married woman in my early forties. My husband has just been promoted to a high position and it means that I will have to attend dinners and parties and come in contact with many new people. I have had very little schooling, so my English is very bad. Also, I have a slight lisp in my speech, and it embarrasses me to meet people. And when I am with strangers my tongue seems completely tied, my brain won't work and I am a total loss. l have to overcome these drawbacks as I love my husband and do not wish to embarrass him among his associates and new friends. Please tell me what to do about this. ANXIOUS WIFE. ANSWER: Your problem ls one that confronts a great many women who iii their early youth married men who were clever and ambitious and who have made successes of themselves, while their wives have stay- ed put. It is one of the tragedies in this land of opportunities that so often a marriage is a failure because the wife did not keep up with her husband. Nobody is to blame for it. The boy and girl who have had the same background and who have grown up together get married. The girl is happy and contented in home-making and baby-tending. but the buy has the fire of ambition in his soul and he begins climbing up until he leaves his ivifc bciiiiid him. HEARTBREAKING EXPERIENCE It is a heartbreaking experience for a wife to realize that she is no longer in her husband's class, but if instead of sitting doivn and wailing and weeping over her misfortune she gets up and does something about it, she can turn her defeat into victory. Take your case, for instance. lf, as you say, you have little education, no social training, no taste in dress, don't throw up your hands and quit. Make yourself over into something that your husband will be proud of. instead of ashamed of. Get a tutor who will polish up your En lish and your pronunciation. Put yourself in the hands of a. dressmaker o knows her business. Learn how to dance, how to enter a room as if you owned the whole building. and hoiv to say polite nothings. No woman need be as unattractive as Nature made licr if she is only willing to work at being glamorous, for which mercy thank Heaven. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I have two children and a fine husband who is good to us in every way and makes us a good home, but I have been married before and I find that I still love my first husband and he loves me. What should I do? Should I stay with my present hus- band for the sake of my children, or should I do what my heart tells me to do? BEWILDERED ANSWER: I should say that a divorced woman with two children who has landed a second husband who is a good provider, is wise to let well enough alone. Don't put too much stress on what your “heart tells you," for that organ is oftener than not a liar whose advice can- not be trusted. Consider how many people you know who thought they were in love and who found out, when it was too late to do them any good, that what they were suffering from was indigestion and not the grand passion. ' But the curious thing about divorce is that so many husbands and wives who could not abide each other when they were married seem to fail in love with their ex-mates as soon as they are tied up with some- body else. Maybe the explanation is that they get the habit of swap- ping mates. DEAR MISS DIX: My trouble is that I don't seem able to be thrilled by anything or anyone. I have rio ambition for any kind of work, as I feel that I would probably be a failure. so why bother? I am not in- terested in any man because I figure he is just another man. I have no boy friends, so no trouble on that score. I have never been interested in office work. Also, I have been rejected by a few men I have been in love with. My parents are anxious for me to marry, but personally I don't care if I never get married. Oh, my goodness, Miss Dix, I am really afraid I am enjoying this state of mind. Could it be that I am scared? JEANNE ANSWER: Sounds to me as lf your trouble is a very commdn dis- ease. laziness. I know many people who are afflicted that way, and it is an ailment that is practically incurable. For it takes a lot of spunk and determination and ambition to make- any of us thrill over our jobs.

Island . (By Uncle loo) THE PHANTOM TRAIN Many years ago the residents of Wellington heard what they believ- ed to be a train roaring through the wooded section of Mlscouche and vicinity. Some folk even claimed to have heard its shrill whistle and the ringing of its bell as it sped along through the darkness of the night. A resident of Wellington, who had been planning on a trip to the west end of the Island, distinctly heard the noise of the train some miles away and immediately set out for the station, but upon arrival there waited in vain for its com- iiig. Getting impatient at its delay, he started down the road to investi- gate. When he came within sight of the railway bridge that spans the Ellis river, he saw the train stopped on the bridge, and s num- ber of men movin-g around it as if something had gone wrong. All the cars were brilliantly lighted and the engine's bell kept up a constant ringing. Upon nearer approach the train and the people vanished. and all he could see was the bridge stand- ing out plainly in the moonlight. A puzzled expression crept over Art's face as he turned his back on the scene and started to retrace his steps home. Suddenly he was awakened from his reverie by the shrill blast of a whistle; and. turning round, he again saw the phantom train on the bridge. It was just starting to move; and while he looked at the strange sight before him. the white- clad figure of awoman walked across the bridge and entered the rear coach. tCfiilltinlled on page 1i) “iflf. _ Modern I Etiquette I) Bilblflil [all ‘WNW Q. when a husband and wife are signing a. letter, or s greeting card. which name should oome first?
