SHATTERED DREAMS
The divorce courts tell some lurid tales of martiaUn
felicities. Generally it is the woman who has the pitiful
tale to tell of love grown cold, of the husband seeking
pleasure in the society of other women, of neglect, of
cruelty and of abuse. Sometimes it is several years after
the promise to love, cherish and protect is made, before
she who was given the promise is neither loved, nor
cherished; and the protection she needs is from her prom
ised protector. If one did not become hardened by hear
ing day after day the pitiful tales told by neglected wives,
of cruelty, of abuse, of inhuman treatment, the sentiment
of the Frenchman who said: "The more I see of men the
better I like dogs," would be cheerfully indorsed by the
reporters and others whose business requires attendance
on the divorce courts. It is perhaps fortunate for human
ity that women do not hear the testimony in divorce
cases ; ior n mey aia uiy giviny m max x mc wuum ucw""!
a rarity. That is it would be such if it were not for the
fact that woman is trusting and optimistic. She believes
nothing of this kind will come to her, and yet that is just
what these whose lives are bared in tne court rooms as a
necessary preliminary to a final separation thought when
they gave up family, home and friends to join their
fortunes with the one man wno naa won tneir aiiecuons.
It must be in bitterness of spirit when it is all over and
the dream shattered, that the woman with two or three
little ones who came to her when life was yet all bright
ness, lays bare the inwardness of her married life, and
still clinging to her children and his, asks the privilege
of working for and providing for them. This is one part
of the requests that is seldom controverted oy tne man in
the case.
It sure is pretty bad, but so long as men will betray and
woman trust the same pitiful stories will be told and re
peated even unto the end.
THE HODZIMA PUZZLE
One thing the food control will accomplish is the com
pelling of merchants, dealers and cold storage plants to
call their products by their right name, "cold storage
goods." Beginning November first all cold storage plants
were placed under license and required to report regular
ly to the Food administrator on all foods stored. The .sole
exception to this rule is where products have not been in
cold storage for more than 30 days. All others must be
labeled "Cold Storage Goods' The penalty for the retail
dealer disobeying the law m this respect and also in others
such as making an unreasonable profit is that the licensed
dealer is forbidden to sell to all such, and as they cannot
purchase except from a licensed dealer, they must either
obey the law or be refused the right to purchase a new
stock of goods. One of the objects of the law is to pre
vent the making of unreasonable profits through rising
markets and the holding or storing of goods to accomplish
this result. It may be stated too, that the present system
is but the preliminary stage. If the public observes the
rules, none more drastic may be made, for with a strict
observance of the law, there will be enough for all. The
trouble is and will continue to be, that there is one
element that holds to the opinion that because they have
the money to pay for whatever they want, they are en
titled to have it. They are laboring under a grievous mis
take, for conditions require some small sacrifice in the
way of curtailing the use of certain foods and this not by
the poor alone, but by Rockefeller as well as Lazarus. If
the rules of the Food Administration are not observed
generally there will be resort to the card system and Mr.
Food Hog will have to keep his feet out of the trough. He
must either keep out voluntarily or get slapped over the
snout.
The inability of some people to judge themselves as
they judge others is nowhere better illustrated than in
the threats made to kill Mrs. Hodzima, who has been giv
ing her imbecile baby opiates to relieve its sufferings,
even though eventually the treatment will cost its life.
Science says the baby if it should live will be a hopeless
imbecile and perhaps a great sufferer all the time. Now
some folks who point to the scriptural injunction "Thou
shalt not kill," as the rule which the heart broken mother
must follow, at the same time threaten to kill her if she
persists in giving the baby drugs.
The command "Thou shalt not kill," seems to be' over
looked when it conies to any killing these fanatics might
do. They .arrogate to themselves the right to kill the
mother without seeming to think that might beas great
an offense as allowing an imbecile suffering child to die
and end its sufferings. Queer old world full of queer peo
ple isn't it?
Hugh Gibson who was secretary of the American lega
tion at Brussels has written the story of the German in
vasion as it appeared to him, and this story is soon to ap
pear in several of the larger newspapers as a serial. It
should, one would think, make intensely interesting read
ing, and yet well Girard's story proved a disappoint
ment in many respects although it made public many
things unknown to most of us. The trouble with it was
that it dealt lareelv with affairs between this country and
Germany most of which had been told and retold in the SXh7. "".. 3.X0

ANOTHER WESTERN TRIP.
CHAPTER LXIII.
Bob had been west again, and he
and John Kendall, were discussing his
trip in the library. As usual I sat in
thtf living room, and through the open
door eaught snatches of their conversa
tion. John was talking when by inter
est became aroused by something he
said anent a woman.
"I never shall forget the first time
I saw her", he said, "I met her at a
social affair something as you did,"
he remarked to Bob, "I thought her
very beautiful."
' ' She is beautiful, ' ' Bob replied slow
ly, but it is not entirely her physical
beauty which attracts, she seems to rad
iato a spiritual beauty, a beauty of soul
as well as body. Her personality is won
derful. She is the most restful, and at
the same time the most entertaining
woman I have ever met a perfect com
panion," he added, after a moment.
".Better be careful, .Hob, 1 should
label her 'dangerous' after that des
cription."
"She would be dangerous and more"
here I missed a sentence, "but I owe
allegiance to Margaret."
Many husbands forget" again I
lost part of John's reply.
"I think her very talented, she will
do great things some day.

THE SCOLDING ERA
I read the monthly magazines: they tell me
I'm a traitor foul, if I don't cut out pork
and beans, and live oh slaw and roasted
owl. Perhaps the magazines are right, per
haps their counsel is sublime; they have a
noble goal in sight but why abuse me all
the time? The gifted speaker comes to
speak, in our town hall, whose lights are
dim ; he says I am a knave and freak, if I
don't quite agree with him. He says I am
too base and mean to look my own self in
the eyes, because I'm burning gasoline,
when countless folks are needing pies. He's
doubtless right: but why get sore, and call
me names to beat the Dutch? For hungry folk I'd do
much more, if I were not abused so much. We want your
store of hard-earned gold, to beat the kaiser's wicked
wiles, and so we rant and chide and scold, instead of wear
ing winning smiles. We wish you to economize, and live
on prunes and salted hoss, and to encourage you we rise,
and tell you you're' a total loss. You hand out seven hard
earned bones to help things out on foreisrn shore; we roast
you then, in strident tones, because you don't give seven
more. This scolding stunt will have to stop if we wTould
see good feeling live; the termagant's barbaric yawp
won't make men strip their rolls and give.

law down for them regardless of per
sonality, or temperament.
Occasionally I had felt that perhaps
Elsie was right in her estimate of Bob.
That he was of a different temperament
than I had tought wen I married him.
Ho would become so excited when he
talked to John Kendall or his other
friends. Sometimes- he would pace up
and down while he gesticulated ner
vously. His imagination would at times
run riot in a way that I with my quiet
er, colder temperament could not fol
low. But I usually blamed his excit
ment upon the people he Was with, their
influence, instead of upon him.
I see now that I was deliberately
trying to crush out all personality, all
originality my husband possessed. But
at the time I thought I was entirely
justified in all that I did. As I look
back upon those years after my boys
were born the only comfort I gleam
is that I was honest in the stand I
took; honest, if mistaken.
It had been a very disappointing win
ter for me, and I had not hesitated to
so express myself to Bob. Surely, I
thought, a wife has a right to express
her displeasures over things in her hus-
uaiid's conduct which she disapproves.
But Bob called it nagging, and while he
conceded that I did not nag for the
things which caused many women to
make complaint; he claimed that to be
nagged because he omitted to assure
me constantly of his love and because
he preferred the society of congenial
friends to sitting alone with me, was
as bad, or worse.
Bob was at this time, as kind, as in
dulgent as ever. But he seemed ner
vous, and was very irritable. This was
always more noticeable after one of his
western trips; and consequently I was
the more opposed to his business venture
with John Kendall than I should other
wise have been. Then too, I often thot
ho avoided me, I would almost say he
shrank from my caresses. He surelv
never offered me endearments unless I
asked for them when he would respond
mechanically. I was terribly unhappy
over it, but did not know what to do
to remedy matters. I would not concede
myself in the wrong and give my con
sent to Bob's desire to entertain and

"They go away, get their fares paid
