A Few Of the Reasons why She Like
Go Dress Nicely and Make Home Happy


A Few Of the Reasons why She likes
Go Dress Nicely and Make Home Happy.
II the men who criticise and coudemp
the fair ones for their extravaganza in
dress, their bangs and the host OF other
things which are too numerous 10 men
ton, and which they call "only women's
whims," that they can't see any earthly
use for whatever, and wonder why women
will do 80 many queer and silly things
would just put on their thinking caps they
could very easily solve that interesting
problem.
But as they won't or can't, shall try to
explain some OF the reasons why women
do great many OF these things for which
they are criticised and condemned.
But first let me say right here that all
the women are not quite rs vain and silly
as some men think they are great
many have some purpose in view which
they wish to accomplish, and have good
reasons for what they do
And these which | shall mention are
only few of the many reasons why they
do so.
Every good and true woman, who has a
due amount of respect for herself aud
Others, likes TO look her best, and have her
surroundings rs pleasant and attractive rs
her means and station In life will permit.
She likes to dress neat and becoming:
not for the love OF dress alone, but for the
sake of others.
For IL she is married and loves her hus
band and home she wants TO make her
home happy and pleasant, and herself look
neat and attractive In the eyes OF her hus
band and children.
She is content and willing TO spare no
labor or pains in doing those things which
she thinks will promote his happiness and
add to his comfort.
For she wants him to enjoy the comfort
of well kept aud tastefully arranged
room. She likes him to admire her work
for she likes to hear his words OF praise
and a pleasant smile and kind word, sc
companied tQ kiss, reward her for al
trouble she has taken To provide for hii
domestic comfort and to make his hom,
life bright and happy.
She Is satisfied II she knows her HUSBAND
appreciates her efforts to make him happl
and considers her his household angel.
And II she Is single, you may just res
assured she has some one in her min,
whom she dresses To please, Or II not al
ready there, she is ON the lookout for som
one who will think she is the best an,
dearest little girl the world contains" an,
who will love and praise her for her SAX
alone.
These are only some Of the many reason
why women do great many things whic
have puzzled more than one masculin
mind and been termed "womens within
and foolish notions"
Now, hope the men will he less sever
