The superfuous woman, about whom
so much concern was expressed a lew
years ago, is certainly not a result Of i'm
migration, since statistics show that
women are only forty per cent. of the

be thoughtful of her, kind and considerable
of her welfare.
When well and b~eeomingly dressed, a
quite notice of it is always appreciated
A word of praise for a nice dinner often
more than compensates her for the worry
and hard work of preparation.
She wants her husband not only to be
her supporter, but her companion, re-
membering thai it is the kind, thoughtful,
appreeiative word that often brings her
greater happiness than a new set OF
