"She it running around with one of the town boys, and whatever the feelt, ha

By KATHLEEN NORRIS
THESE are good days in
which to mind your own
business. For one reason,
because everyone's business is
going to be complicated and
hard under postwar conditions.
And for another, because inter
fering in other persons' affairs
is a harmful, wasteful and often
useless employment.
Here is a letter from a woman
who feels that she very decided
ly ought to be minding other
persons' business, even while
she gives me a distinct impres
cirm that Vior Atim icn't Kointt tnn
well managed.
?
"My position is a very painful
one," writes Carolyn Miller, from a
Texas town. "I live with my hus
band's mother, - who is a dear.
She is only 52, active and capable,
and we manage the house easily be
tween us. I have a baby six months
old. v
"The trouble is my twin sisters
in-law, whom I will call Joan and
Jean. They are 20, Joan married to
a captain of marines, and Jean en
gaged to his brother, who is in the
air corps. This marriage and this
engagement took place before I
moved in here. My husband, Bert,
has been away for almost a year.
'Not Bis Baby.'
"Joan, the married one, had a
baby 10 months after her husband's
departure for the south seas. She
did not notify him of this baby's ar
rival until it was Ave weeks old,
then a joyous cable was sent, 'fine
little girl, both well.' His answer to
this was so pathetically-eeger and
happy that it made me sick, for in
the family we all know that it is not
his baby. Joan admits herself to a
time of indiscretion, immediately
after his departure, with one of his
friends, since killed in the Pacific.
"The whole family expects me to
be a party to this outrageous de
ception, of which 1 never would have
| heard, if I had not unexpectedly ar
rived here at the old home. My own
instinct is to try to persuade Joan
to write the truth to Art, and if she
will not and her mother will not. to
write him myself.
"Jean's case is, of course, less
serious, but she is running around
with one of the town boys, and
whatever she feels, he is deeply in
love. This seems to me terribly un
fair to her absent fiance, but her
mother win do nothing but look wor
ried and say tbat time will settle
all these problems. Personally I
don't believe in leaving such mat
| ters to time; human beings have re
sponsibilities, and our duties to our
absent soldiers are surely the most
sacred among them.
"My husband is now returning,
honorably discharged, and we will
| move back to our own home, in a
town some miles away. Naturally I
have kept these troubles strictly to
myself, for the honor of the family,
but I really am in need of advice
as to my correct course, having
been brought up myself in the belief
that honesty is always wisest in the
end, however painful. Please help

me.

Let Jeaa Tell Hasband.
My dear Carolyn, my advice
heads this article. Mind your own
business. Button up your lip about
Joan's affairs and Jean's affairs, and
concentrate upon managing your
home?fortunately in another town,
and keeping your husband and baby
happy.

SILENCE IS BEST
It is often difficult to keep quiet
when you happen to know some
scandalous information. Many
people persuade themselves that
it is their duty to tell, because
somebody is being deceived. They
seldom stop to think that they
may be making a bad situation
worse.
The case discussed in today's
article concerns two young wives
whose husbands are still in serv
ice and out of the country. The
girls are twins, young and pretty.
Joan has given birth to a daugh
ter ? obviously out of wedlock.
The other girl, Jean, is going
around with one of the local men
who is plainly in love with her.
r ?i f
t(?eir aw?ci ?cc?
all this and feels she ought to
write to the husbands and reveal
the ugly facts.
Miss Norris admonishes Caro
lyn to keep out of these people's
affairs. There is no good purpose
to be served, she says, by telling
the soldier-husbands now. Per
haps they will never need to
know. In any case, it is the wives
who should do the telling, and
under more favorable circum
stances than now exist.
business to know ? what the rela
tionship is between Joan and Art.
Perhaps she has written him the full
truth already.. Perhaps she is wait- '
ing until he is home again, and at
work normally again, and in love
with the little girl baby, to say to
him; 'Art, I don't know what weak
ness or craziness came over me?
X never loved Tom as 1 did you. I
was lonesome, and he was going
away?to his death, as it happened
?and we were carried away. Can
-you forgive me, and love her for
Tom's sake, too, because he gave
everything that he had, gave life it
self, to keep her world safe fpr
her?"
Perhaps, if something like that
happens,. Art never need be disil
lusioned, Art's heart need never be
broken; perhaps there will be other
viiuuicii, auu tuc utuc uiuesi gin not
the least dear. , , -
But whatever happens, your put
ting your stiff, moralizing, clumsy
band into this affair can only ruin
everything, and do you no good.
Leave Joan alone and leave Jean
alone ? Jean isn't the only pretty
young flirt who's amusing herself in
the absence of her heart's true love.
Jean will probably meet her sweet
heart with inocent eyes and a royal
welcome, and to all the world Joan's
mistake will remain hidden, and
Joan's daughter will have her honor
and her place in the world un
touched. In a word, Carolyn, mind
your own business.
Vitamin Intake Sufficient
You homemakers are concerned
with the proper amounts of calcium
and of riboflavin, known now as vi
tamin B-2. Calcium builds bones
and teeth. Riboflavin promotes
growth and is necessary to normal
nutrition at all ages. B-2 vitamins are
found in milk and milk products,
among other foods. For folks have
been drinking 2S per cent more milk
since 1934, and increased their con
sumption of the B-2 vitamins about
one-fifth.
Vitamin B-l and niacin have been
added. Iron is an important nutri
ent and it is usually fairly well sup
plied in average mixed diets and the
enrichment program adds even
more. The average quantity of vi
tamin B-l that yon and your family
had last year was 33 per cent higher
than in prewar years 1235-1039. Nine
per cent of this B-l increase was
due to the enrichment of grain'prod
ucts. You homemakers have learned
that if your family does not have
enough B-l it is apt to result in a
poor physical condition, poor appe
tite and nervous disorders.
