PAGE 6 HOME PEACE THREATENED BY ROWS OVER RELIGION Wife Finds Trouble in Her Path BY MARTHA LEE Th-?re arc two subjects it is ab solutely nutty to argue about. One is politics and the other is religion. It is bad enough to exchange ad verse ideas on these two subjects with a casual friend who is not apt to be seen for the next two years, but to discuss the subject at the native hearth, when the props of the household differ, is slow suicide to love. You see, a man's religious beliefs are very close to his heart. He loves them and cherishes them as dearly as he does his own soul. And to see them ridiculed through lack of understanding lashes him to rib bons And one always can not have patience with ignorance. In the first place, every man is heading toward the same place the best way he knows how. His man ner of worship is performed with the same intention. He is sincere in his belief that his dogma is the right one. The bulk of our denominations claim to follow the teachings of Christ. And yet, when a man of one religion quarrels over dogmatic beliefs with a man of another re ligion, he is breaking one of the greatest lessons Christ taught, that of tolerance. Trouble in Married Life A great many times people of different religious beliefs fall in love and marry. And, too many times, this is the source of constant trou ble between them, sometimes not through any fault of their own. Many times it is the result of con stant nagging from the “in-laws” on one side or the other. As I say, a man’s religion may be his whole life: he may believe what he believes to the last ditch, but that Is no reason for him to lose re spect for other men’s beliefs. That man is right, as far as he knows how to be right, and no other man is privileged to ridicule his manner of worship. A wife who is being made miser able through constant argument on the religious question has written about her troubles. Dear Miss Lee—l have been married five years and on the whole our marriage has been a hppv one. My husband is of a different faith than mine. I do not even mean of a different faith, because he has no church, but at least he believes dif ferently from me. Goes Own Way I never have tried to foist my religion en him. I have gone my way. following my faith as I best know how. Now his relatives did not approve of the match in the first place, and every time we were around with them, they made slighting remarks about the customs of my church. One can not help but become angry with that, but I always managed to hold a civil tongue in my head, even though I would be seething inside. I knew it was because they did not understand my faith, and, after once try ing to explain a certain custom. I gave it up until they should become more open-minded, rather than cause any dis sention in my own home. Os course my husband loved me. but he was not in com plete sympathy with my religion. Lately, every once in a while, he has taken it upon himself to start such an argument. I will not argue with him. If he is willing to sit down and listen to me explain that which he does not un derstand. I am ready to do so. but as soon as I start, it is sure to lead to a Quarrel. I don't know what I can do. Miss Lee. It results in a bitterness that lasts sev eral days. I would not mind so much if he had a religion of his own that he believed in as sincerely as I do in mine, but he hasn't. He is just opposed to mine, and does not leave me in pence. I am so unhappy about it. because I love him and can not understand why it should be an issue. ' MRS. H. K. You are right, my dear. Your husband has no right to make you unhappy because he does not be lieve as you do. No more than you have a right to make him miserable because he does not believe as you do. Respects His Stand But the thing is, you haven’t. You have respected his disbelief, and he has not been manly enough to re procate. There is only one thing to do. Tell him you refuse to argue with him unless he is willing to listen to you and try to understand that you can not bear his intoler ance. Surely if he loves you he will, if you explain things to him properly, learn to respect your belief. As for his family. I should chuck the whole flock. Be civil and kindly when they come to your home, but since they are so impolite, so utterly lacking in the first requisities of hospitality avoid going into their homes when ever it is possible. Two people with ordinary intelli gence should have the good man ners to keep their religious beliefs from being soiled by household battles. MISS VIOLA CLARK WEDS JOHN ETTER Dr. and Mrs.s William H.

Such awfully smart bags for fall You can make your own fall bag just as easily as a smart cou turiere can tell some clever-fin gered little midinette how to make her’s—but of course you have to send a 2-cent stamp to the Dare Department of The Times for the illustrated leaflet, which tells you how to make them! a tt tt ELEGANCE again, Philippe et Gaston elegance, which relies upon quietness and marvelous workmanship for its success. That is the afternoon dress of grey-blue satinska cloth we have illustrated for vou today, with its incrustations of a darker shade of the material. a o tt DO vou realize, from looking at today’s illistration. the differ ence between incrustations and ap plique? It is a difference that ex presses the elegance of the day. For it was no tremendous trick to cut out rolls and scroops. twirls and woops of contrasting colors, and sew them to a frock. But. to cut out these rolls and ccroops, twirls and woops, and then to incrust them . . . ’twere a quite ingenious thing to do! .Proof that no effort is too great if the result be elegant! nun For Clever Fingers TRY it out on a friend . . .just sit down and tell her how you make that favorite thing you know how to make, and then write it out, as practiced, for the Clever Finger Contest. on* WE had so-o-o-o- much fun re decorating our studio that we just had to sit down and write alt about it! Wouldn’t you like to know all the clever things we did? You can. only mus' send a LETTER marked “Personal” and enclose in this a stamped self-addressed enve lope. This is something special, you know, and has nothing to do with the week's leaflet. t * An Re voir!
