American Pearls Pearls have so long been considered jul Oriental jewels that it will surprise many to learn that specimens from the United States have been s«it to Europe and even to the Orient.

"I find it hard to face it philosophically, and need help. Before I married I was an office worker; my husband, Carter, was a member of One of the town's prominent families. It was considered that I had made a great catch. "My husband's first love, and a Very deep love, was a beautiful girl I will call Mary. Mary married Henry Polk, an older man, vice president of the firm of which Carter's father is president. Carter, mjr ,husband, is employed by the same firm. . • "In '42 both our husbands went into the navy, and during the years that followed Mary and I naturally saw much of each other. Mary had a little boy. and I a daughter. Since the end of the war, she has had another son and I a second girl. "When the men returned, early in '46, housing was a difficult matter. Henry Polk who had done some important work in Washington during the war,'found a house much handsomer than any Carter and I could >ent, spacious and with a big garden. When he proposed that we all move in together, it seemed the best arrangement, although c&en then I didn't like it very well. Mary has so naturally eclipsed me on all counts, all my life long, that I rather dreaded this close comparison, especially as my husband was so much in love with her M years ago. "But this matter has turned out very differently from my fears. .Mary and Henry are not happily married, and both have confessed during the course of this year, that they find my presence and Carter's > a most welcome addition to their twosome. Finances are easily managed, and our babies play together contentedly, but a new element has come intq the picture and it disturbs me very much. "My old envy of Mary died 'long ago, when I saw that she was un- I happy and helpless. Both Carter and II began to try to win Henry's affection and confidence, for lie la an im- . portant member of the family firm, and also because we like him and Mary. He is 44, we othfers are in the twenties. "Two weeks ago Mary's husband shocked me by a confession love- He says it has existed sinceut met me as the girl Carter-was .going to marry, eight years ago. He sajrp he is going to pursue the matter until I care enough for him to obtain a divoroe and he frees tytanaelf from Mary. He never loses an opportunity to press the matter, keeping me in a constant state of nervous -tension. Mary, whose beauty ami wealth have lifted her above any suspicion of any other woman, sees nothing of this. Carter, who still defends her against any hint of criticism, shook off indignantly my hint that Henry was embarrassing me. He laughed heartily, and said it was amazing what a woman's vanity would do. "The worst of this is, that the comparison of the two men is unfortunate for Carter. Henry is a selfmade man, with a fine record and great popularity. Carter is a rich man's son, turning to his father whenever his extravagances go too far. In spite of hnyself and my prayer to be a good mother to my two lovely children, I find myself wavering toward the thought of the comfort, the security of beiqg Hear WHICH WAY TO TURN? The housing shortage has effected even the wealthy, and hms complicated their lives, as the letter Miss ft orris quotes today shows. Mildred Wilson married a wealthy man, son of one of the town's industrialists. They have two children now. No disagreements ever marred their married life. All uould be well, apparently, excepting for the unforturate fact that the Wilsons have to live in the large house of another couple, the Polks. Henry Polk's wife is unhappy in her marriage, but does not want to lose the security and social position she enjoys. Lately Henry has been showing more and more attention to Mildred, which is easy, as they are in the same house. Mildred at first resented this, but she has gradually come to relish his protestations of love. She has nothing against her husband. Carter, but Henry seems to attract her more. She asks Miss Norris what to do. , 8afety la Drtvtaff One of the simplest ways to prevent automobile accidents is to drive a car that's kept In safe operating condition.

An actor in a road company had played the role of Abraham Lincoln ao many times that he had assumed the habits of the Great Emancipator, even going so far as to adopt characteristic garb. One day, dressed in the frock coat and tall hat of Lincoln's time, he passed two fellow actors off the street. He nodded gravely and continued on his way. When the Lincoln-minded thespian was out of earshot, one of the actors murmured to his companion: "That fellow will never be satisfied until he'a assassinated."

Mary, on the other band, loves her position as wife of the vice president, loves her romantic memories of Carter's devotion and is contented to have me do most of the managing and free her for her social life. She would never willingly let Henry go. "Suppose I tell you flatly that I think I have come, against my will. God knows, to love Henry? Am 1 justified in breaking up this household, robbing Carter of a wife $nd Mary of a husband, scandalizing society, for my own pleasure? Would there be any happiness in it for me or the children? My parents are dead. I cannot suggest to Carter that we move, without giving as a reason the fact at Which he laughs. Henry tells me that he will never do anything to distress me, but the sit uation is already infinitely distress ing. Often of late Henry will telephone that he is not coming home for dinner, he will be late at the office. Then Carter takes Mary t< the movies, and I stay with the children. And invariably Henry turnr up to spend a long quiet eveninf With me. The situation is becoming quite unedurable, and I don't know what to do." . You do seem to be at an tetpasse Mildred, with difficulties whichevei way you turn. To divorce Cartel and marry Henry would throw th< whole situation into a miserably confusion, for the logical and prob able thing- would be for Carter ther to marry Mary, and the resultthp insecurities for the children would be life-lasting. The nationwide hou? ing shortage has been responsible for many of these deplorable situa tions, but it does seem--in this con vulsed world--that with plenty ot money, health and fine children four normal human beings ought U be helping humanity, not ask in? help. My own suggestion would be thai you plunge yourself deep into sonru charitable work, if it is only serving children's meals in school or read ing faithfully to the blind, and thai you say the prayer that includes "lead us not into temptation" many times a day. That prayer nevei fails. CABE OF WET SHOES* , Stuffing wet shoes with paper oi absorbent cloth will help to dry them and maintain their shape. Dry them slowly away from heat.
