Caroline Chatfield Says Disillusioning experience with unhappy marriage ami tlivorce doesn't necessarily teach a woman to judge men accurately. She frequently makes same mistake second time. DEAR MISS CHATPIELD: Life's problems are too puzzling for me. I have to ask advice. Having been married once and having had the union fail, I shudder at the thought of a second trial. Yet I am in love and you know what that means to a woman. Fortunately or unfortunately. I have other opportunities which from a worldly standpoint arc better: but I love this man. What shall I do about it? PUZZLED. ANSWER: My advice to you is give yourself ample time to think the thing through and don't let an infatuation blind you to the little straws which show the wind's direction. The head of a large business which employs many young women tells me that it is amazing to see how many girls divorce no-account husbands and then turn light around and marry the same sort a second time, showing that their experience with unhappy marriage and divorce doesn't teach them anything about judging men. Perhaps it's true that on the first go-round it's better to be un happily married than not to be married at all; but even the people who agree to this wouldn't argue that it pays to make a habit of being i unhappliy married. So it behooves a divorcee to stop, look and listen ; before she leaps into a second marital experience. She should be, able to interpret what she sees and hears so as to get a pretty good line on the applicant. Is he straightforward and honest? Can he make a living? Do other people think well of him? Is he generous with what he has? Is he agreeable to your friends? Does he enjoy the same things you enjoy? Is he willing to try to get your viewpoint? Even while he's courting you anu he's got his best foot foremost, he will reveal himself as he is. in spite of all he can do to conceal what's unadmirable. Remember, no matter how much he adores you. his love won't be any better than he is and he won't show up any better as a husband than he shows up as a lover. CAROLINE CHATFIELD. DEAR MISS CHATFIELD: Please give us a write-up of the flapper who chases every spineless fellow that will flap with her six nights out of the week. He will do this and then expect a nice girl who has guarded her virtue and her I character to entertain him on the seventh night while he still re members the flapper puffing her last cigarette and also remembers the sweetness of her last filthy parting from him. T. S. ANSWER: Ycur quarrel isn't with the flapper, dear girl, but with yourself for wasting time on a spineless fellow who gives you the tag ends of his time. You see, however fast the chase the flapper follows, she can't catch any boy who doesn't want to be caught, it is her privilege to chase him and it's his privilege to be caught. It is also your privilege to turn him down when he asks for the seventh night date. If you prefer to take him on you must remember that you can't dictate to him about what he does the other six nights or you will lose out on the seventh. Certainly you have chosen the better part in guarding your virtue I and maintaining your high standards, but you won't get anywhere J by casting aspersions o$ the girl who has chosen the easy way. Your j chances at marriage are infiinitely greater than hers for the very men , who seek her out and lead her on will sidestep her before they reach the altar. In addition to these men there are others who are repelled by the professional petters, men who enjoy association only with girls of high ideals. So there are two classes from which your prince I charming may ride up. Then why bother about the poor misguided | girls whose merry races must be short and seldom finished "in the i money."

B??? ?" 1 acgaea^m 'Seventh Heaven' Comes Back With New Performers Four Other Shows of The Week Are Reviewed Ry Critic By HENRY SUTHERLAND UP Hollywood Correspondent Hollywood, March 23.?(U.R)? | Shows of the weeks . . . j "Seventh Heaven," (20th Cen ' tury-Fox) This Parisian Idyll retains its ; appeal through the years and de spite rather ordinary perform ances by James Stewart and the highly touted Simone Simon. No audience has ever failed to fall for the John Golden play or the silent screen verdion (1927) in which Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell cleaned up so re I soundingly. This edition should fare no worse. Of the two leads, Stewart's work is probably the better, al though lie's a bit too rugged and honest-appearing for that "very remarkable fellow, and glib egoist, "Chico." As "Diane," the dancehall girl turned from suicide in the Seine to a seven - story "heaven" by the young sewer cleaner, Simon walks through prettily, pouts con stantly, and at no time puts over the emotional qualities of the part with conviction. Otherwise, J. Edward Bromberg plays the astrologer in par. Victor Killian and Gale Sondergaard are effective as "Chico's* skyline ! neighbors, and Jean Hersholt I splendid and unrecognizable as the Priest. j Lesser parts are capable hand led by Gregory Ratoff and John Qualen. Production is first-class, al though photography is a bit on the dark side. ?n "Her Husband Lies,' (Schul | berg-Paramount).

"Midnight Taxi, ? 20tli Century Fox) Alan Dinehart?worthy of much better parts?is again anchored to a picture in the skidding G man cycle. Dinehart does an agent posing as a eab-driver to catch a count erfeiting gang, and entire action takes place at night, which gives Barney McGill a chan ^e for some fine photography. Sig Rumann, Gilbert Roland and Harold Huber made accept able gangsters, and Frances Drake goes through the motions of the love interest. ?O? "That Man's Here Again," I 'Warner Brothers). Hugh Herbert turns in another screwball comedy of his own fami liar type. Otherwise the picture is notable as American debut of 17-year-old Mary Maquire, im ported as the "Mary Pickford of Australia." Miss Maguire, a strinkingly beautiful lass, plays with spirit and understanding, and will be' seen shortly in better roles. ?O? "When Love Is Young," (Uni versal ). With the exception of one song, sung with suprising talent by Vir- 1 ginia Eruce. this musical is sopori fic. Number is "Would I Be Wast ing My Time," tunesmithed by Jimmy McHugh and Harold Adamson.
