HOW ONE SILLY GIRL
CAN UPSET A FAMILY
Famous Writer Tells of One Household Which Is Com-
pletely Disorganized Because Daughter Has “Ideas”
And Doesn’t Hesitate in Trying Them Out
By WINIFRED BLACK ;
MW1 C E. Tyer is worried to death.
She can’t eat she can’t sleep and she walks the floor at night.
Her husband can’t eat and he can’t sleep—and he walks the floor
tit night.
Husband is worried to death about his wife.
And his wife is worried to death about Millicent.
And eveybody wonders what on earth is the
matter with the Tyers.
The Club quickly noticed that Charlie isn’t w-hat
he used to be. He sits and moons and jumps as if
he had been shot if anyone speaks to him suddenly.
And the other day he trumped his partner's ace
and forgot to tip the steward.
Mrs. Tyer is a puzzle to her friends too.
She used to be good-natured and light-hearted
and full of fun. Now she is nervous and irritable
and jumpy—and she told her best friend what she
really thought of her the other day and the best
friend w'ent to bed with a sick headache.
And it’s all about Daughter Millicent.
Daughter Millicent ran away and married an
Odd Stick five or six years ago and everybody but
the Tyers was deligthed.
Daughter Millicent was one of those people they
call a "Problem” when they lecture about them.
And rather a serious problem to! She wanted to go on the stage
I and then she changed her mind and wanted to be a missionary and go
| to Africa and convert the heathens.
Then she decided she’s change#-——
' ner religions and go into a convent
and forget the world.
Then she fell in love with a mar-
ried man—a perfectly common-
place plain little man—and every-
body was glad when she married
the Odd Stick and took herself and
her temperament to him to man-
age.
And now she has tired of the Odd
Stick and she has come home to
visit. And the first thing she did
was to fall in love with her mother's
chauffeur.
The chauffeur is a decent enough
young fellow or he would be if
Millicent would let him alone. He
has his own friends in his own cir-
cle and writes notes to all kinds
of girls. He “steps out” with a
peppy blonde and does all the rest
of the things that rather dull un-
interesting young men of his type
do.
He is ignorant illiterate and
clumsy but he's a good driver and
a faithful fellow when it comes to
carrying out orders. But Daugh-
ter Millicent is dead in love with
him.
She runs after him and she gats
him in to corners and makes love
to him. And Millicent’s mother
discharged him—and now Millicent
stays in her room and cries and
cries.
When anybody speaks to her she
looks as if someone had pressed a
3 dagger into her heart
j <■- ^jid she hates her mother and I
-es her father and the poor
wicim do nofc know which way to
f^^ader why they don't bundle
Millieem and her broken heart up

and send her back to her husband
the Odd Stick?
Is it really right to permit one
silly girl to upset a whole family
—just for that?
I say let Odd Stick worry—he
chose the job now let him keep it
what do you think?
Dear Annie Laurie:
I am a young man of 22 and I
am married and have two boys. For
about the last year my wife seems
to not have much time for me. She
is always nagging at me and the
boys. Now I think I have been as
good to my wife as any man in
the world. We have been married
four years and I have never been
away from home a night unless my
wife was with me. She is always
telling me she wouldn't care if I
would go with some girls. Now I
do not care for any girl but my
wife. There is not a thing I
wouldn’t do for her. She is always
going to the shows and to her
friend's house and leaves the chil-
dren with me. She says she loves
me as much as she used to but she
doesn’t show it. But I think she
should give me some of her time
at least.
Now. what would you advise as
I can't go on much longer as we
are. and I sure don’t want to spoil
our home. What would you advise?
WAITING.
Waiting: Cannot you make an
arrangement for some one to take
care of the children in the eve-
nings so that you can take your
wife out? Perhaps this is what is
the matter. Waiting. And. too try
acting as you did before you mar-
ried her. Sometimes in the hustle
and bustle of married life husbands
and wives forget the fact that they
were once sweethearts and it’s reaiiy
too bad. Perhaps some of the
thoughtful things you did before j
you married her might help—flow-
ers candy and such things. Try it
and see how it works out and good
luck.
HARLINGEN
A Loyalty Crusade campaign
has been launched by Rev. S. F.
Batchelor paster of the First Meth-
odist church of Harlingen. This
campaign is meant to bring all
members of the church closer to-
gether and to put their church be-
fore anything. Rev. Batchelor and
his assistants have mailed circular
letters in which a loyalty card has
been enclosed outlining what is ex-
pected to each member. Sunday’s
membership attendance was in-
creased almost 100 per cent as re-
sults of this campaign.

Oh so white!
Clean white clothes. They were
washed. They were scrubbed. They
were rinsed. But not in hard water.
For hard water mixes with the soap
and forms scum. The scum gets into
the fabric. No these clothes were
not washed in hard water.
Soft water cleaned these clothes.
It was hard water at first but Melo
was added. What a cleaner Melo
made that water with or without
soap! How clean and white the
