Thert it nothing tn th* loss of an arm to koop you from bmm§ s toring wife, h happy mother, a successful woman. By KATHLEEN NORRIS HAS a girl who has lately suffered a painful and permanent disability the right to marry the man to whom she was engaged before the accident that has handicapped iter? That is the question a New York state girl, Edith Wilson, asks me and she tells me the story. She wis graduated from college four years ago, worked as a private secretary to a commercial artist, found herself talented as an artist, too, and at the same time fell in love with her employer. All this went like a roseate dream, and their wedding was all set. Then Edith was in a motor smash-up; Phil was driving, but it "was not Phil's fault that a van, out of control, shot across the righthand lane and crashed Phil's car into a wall. Edith woke up in a hospital and for some weeks they fought to save the crushed elbow, but in the end it had to go and the right hand with it. At first she took the blow, I gather, as a woman of strong character would, but jt meant the cruel end of all her hopes. She says now that she will not and cannot marry Phil; give him a crippled wife, a woman who is fated to be forever conspicuous because of that missing arm. Phil Still Loves Her When Phil tells her that it makes no difference in his love, she merely sighs. She knows in her heart that it does. Theirs would have been a successful business together, but a small one. Their home would be Phil's country studio. They had planned to cook meals, do housework together. Edith feels that that dream is ever. la her despair she doesn't want to see Phil or to talk a boat the past at all. She wants to get sway, to eara her obseare living somewhere, far away frem all the wedd she knew before -- jast to gat away! But how can she make a fresh start with only a left hand to help her? The future looks all dark and she wants disinterested advice. What would be the wise and right thing to do?

BLAKE MOTOR SALES m EL PEARL STREET " PHONE 1M *|lcHENRY, ILLINOIS The wise thing, I think, Edith, would be to put off that marriage for some time, perhaps a year. At 23 that is not too long to wait. Then during that time, go about your life as naturally as you can. Go back to the office, file letters, answer the telephone, lunch with Phil, try to make yourself in every way just what you were a few months ago. " Ask him not to discuss future plans, just to let you go ahead normally and get yourself adjusted. It may help you to remember that some thousands of your fellow Americans, almost all young men of about your age, are facing the same hard problem. Some are blind, some armless, legless, sosne disfigured, some never to recover from even more serious nervous and mental disabilities. Quietly and bravely, because ' everyone forgets their sacrifices sad their predicament, these men mast make their way into a new world, must postpone their •hopes of marriage, of homes of their own, until they overcome the new, unexpected difficulty that the war brought late their , lives. You'll find that you can do an amazing lot with only one hand, know this because my own right arm was out of commission for eipht weeks a few years ago, and COURAGE P e o p l e c o m m o n l j f regard courage as a soldierly attribute which properly belongs on the battlefield. Due to the wide newspaper coverage of heroic deeds during wartime, most Americans synonymously associate courage with war. But courageous conduct exists bountifully in the daily lives of numerous Americans. Edith lost her right arm in an automobile accident. At the time she was very much in love with PhU and the catastrophe occurred shortly before they were to be married. Phil still professes his love for her but Edith feels that she will burden him inasmuch as She is now a helpless cripple. She wants to forget about marrying PhU, jlee from everything associated with him and start her life anew. Miss Norris suggests that Edith postpone her marriage for a year during which time she should attempt to regain her former self and strive to adjust herself to her handicap. Two types of Edith may result from her attempt at selfadjustment: One, a bitter, self - pitying, irascible Edith who casts a blue shadow wherever she treads; the other an Edith radiating perseverance, courage, fcflpp wess aysd love. * FKEDER $18.75 drove a car, cooked -garden^ lunches for a big family, wrote typewriter letters -- all slowly, of course, but with Increasing "easiness. You probably will decide to have an artificial arm, whidi i* a. real help. # Time Heals Everything After a year your nerves will be quieter, you will have discovered": what you can do and what you can't, and I hope you and Phil wilf have learned that even under the changed circumstances you want to be married. Believe me, time will work its usual miracle even with this stunning blow. There is nothing in the loss of an arm to kee(» you from being a loving wife, 9 happy mother, a successful wofrian. That is entirely yours to dcc de. Yon can make your misfortune yonr great advantage If through U you grow kinder, wiser. stronger, the sort of woman to" wliom other troubled spirits t Jrn for help. If you rise above this* dark time to happiness, eonc;n trating your interest on the other members of your group and their affairs, you will begin by lifting the darkest shadow from their lives, right here and now. Most of us don't have to take ja severe a trial, in so visible and con* crete a form. But every one of ua has to face terrible reality sooner or later, every one of us has to accept the thing we would have said was completely unbearable, You are facing yours now, and it la for you to say whether the family's comment on Edith in the next few years is going to be "Poor thing, she's never gotten over it and you can't blame her! It just gives you the blues to be with Tver!" or "Edith's wonderful. You never think of it, she's so sweet and so busy -- there isn't a man in towf that doesn't envy Phil his home and his wife and his children." SMCTV IEMMMTEIS * .. sks's so swoot and fcisp . .
