By KATHLEEN NORRIS
[OW long must we put
up with my husband’s
p o stw a r disillusion
ment and discontent?” wiites
Mrs. Harry Kling of Chicago.
“He came back four months
ago, and after the first delight
at having him home again,
honorably discharged, it has
been nothing but difficulty and
gloom. He was always a well-
balanced man, affectionate,
steady and contented. He is
now nervous, critical, or—
worse than all darkly silent
for hours. He has gone back
into his old firm of claim ad
justers, and is making good
money, with good prospects
ahead. But I can’t stand this
sort of home life much long
er. No harmony, no conversa
tion, no plans, no fun. He is
35,1 am 32; our daughters are
5 and 3.
“H*
"Harry want* to give up our com
fortable apartment, where I have a
part-time maid, break up all our
pleasant association*. upset the
girls' schooling—they go to all-day
nursery schools—and move to the
country He has his eye on a sprawl
ing farm 35 miles out. house in bad
repair, 52 acres partly cultivated,
tenant house of three rooms—the
farmhouse has about seven rooms,
electric light fixtures and plumbing
40 years old, and everything imagi
nable in the way of refrigerator,
telephone, gas stove, linoleums,
curtaining, painting., yet to be done.
Here he proposes we live for years
—perhaps forever. I adore my hus
band. I have not loved any other
man since I met him, at 20, but
do you think it wise to pull up all
our roots simply because he has
been emotionally and nervously up
set by the war? Won't he outgrow
this in time? Wouldn't It be wiser
to wait, for the girls' sake and for
all i ur sakes?'*
My answer to this is. my dear
Mrs. Kling, don't make the mistake
o f thinking that this fearful war,
some of whose phases have ended, is
like any other war that ever was.
After peace negotiations with the
powers of savagery and lawlessness
are signed, scaled and delivered, we
still have a titanic job ahead of us—
service folk and civilians alike. This
postwar job will not only be to pre
serve world peace, it will be to pre
serve world sanity.
A Shattered World.
It will not be only to keep a few
hundred thousnnd depressed and
mentally affected men sane; it will
be to keep us all sane. This war
has bitten too deep into the equilib
rium of humanity; too much that
is unthinkable and unbearable has
happened. Europe will be peopled
by millions of folk who have
known what it was — for weeks,
months, years—to be homeless, hun
gry, desperate. The sacred thing
that is a man's right to work, to
love, to serve his family, to build
his home—has been outraged and
destroyed.
Barren wastes of ashes and ruins
will be wearily searched and
combed by vaguely
wandering
hordes — children whose first ex
perience of life was fright, fear,
hunger. Women who have looked
upon death, death in the mass,

MOVING TO THE
COUNTRY
After returning from service
Harry was able to return to hi*
oltl position a* a claim adjust'
er. He is earning a good salary
and seemingly should be glad
to get back into the old ways.
His wife says she loves him as
much as ever. They have two
daughters, five and three, who
are a tte n d in g day nursery
school.
\ et with all this, Harry is
moody, unsociable and rest
less. He no longer is well bal
anced and light hearted. Some
thing weighs him down. He
wants to get away—from his
job, the association of family
and frie n d s, the fa m ilia r
scenes.
Lately he has fixed his min,I
on going into farming. He has
found a 52-acre place some
what rundown, and only part
ly cultivated at present. There
are two houses on it, one of
three rooms, the other seven.

is here, 35 miles from town,
that Harry wants to move his

and children slain, and lying un
buried in what once were grassy
parks and splendid streets.
Nothing like this ever has hap
pened in the world before. Try to
realize that we will not only be fight
ing. in these years to come, for
those alien peoples overseas, we will
be fighting with every humane and
scientific weapon in our power for
ourselves. That honor and charity
and service may live on in the
world, that homes and firesides,
books and schools and tree-shaded
towns may still exist, that our
hearts and souls shall not be rav
aged again by the fearful cruelties
man may inflict upon his fellow-
man, will take all that we have of
courage and vision and hard, hum
ble labor.
A Country Retreat.
Your man has done his share. He
has jeopardized his reason in these
years when you and the babies
waited for him, safe and snug
in protected America. Now you
three persons whom he loves must
give him back those years.
If you are lucky enough to have
a country retreat, where he can
find peace and quiet, where he can
putter with farm machinery, raise
chickens, milk cows, sell fruit;
where he can take his loved wife,
his books, his baby girls, and forget
the great world for awhile, thank
God for it. Take it gratefully, and
as he grows stronger and saner
you'll see how he longs to share it,
to let other wounded souls and
bodies rest under his big trees, to
let other bewildered soul-scarred
men fish his stream, help harvest
his corn, sleep deep in the country
guest room shaded by the pear
trees.
We arc going to find some big
words for what we have to do for
our men now. Teaching, helping,
cheering, healing. Begin with your
own. Forget all the past, as Europe
must. Think only of a better tomor
row. and do your share to make it
come true.

No wonder enthusiasm for the
so-colorful, so-designful jacquard
sweater is soaring to a new high.
The advance models now arriving
are beauties. Fancy seems to run
to deep yoke effects. These some

the new cap sleeve effect, forming
an epaulet embroidery for the wrist-

with the teen-age bright plaid skirt.
Another practical sweater that is a
welcome newcomer this summer is
made of soap ’n’ water white cot
ton jersey. It is grand to wear with
the shorter shorts on the play
ground. Worn with slacks it makes
the ideal garb for ambitious Vic

type is attractively worn with smart
pleated skirts or with the now-so-
popular narrow wool skirt.

Something new in the way of a
striking novelty has happened. It is
the dressmaker apron or “fashion
apron” as it is sometimes called,
designed to glamorize the basic
black dress. Made of fine colorful
taffeta or faille and other dress-up
fabric, and ruffled all around with
lace, it is far removed from the
humble kitchen type. It ties around
the waist like any apron and has
sash-wide "apron strings” for a
bustle bow at the back. One fetch
ing style is fashioned of apple green
faille trimmed with a wide ruffle of
black Chantilly-type lace.
