Boss Him, but Do II olplomatieaIly.
To the Editor OF The Evening World:
Ny opinion Is woman should use an
abundance OF diplomacy A man does
not want to be "bossed," but you can
do 1t In such a way that he will never
notice IT, Then again, don't think ne
likes to be "coddled' too much. Just .
little at the right time will work won
ders. do not believe good looks have
anything at all to do with It.; It needs
something more enduring. Instead Of
wasting time and her husbands money
on rouge and cold cream she should try
to massage her brains and learn the
gentle art OF diplomacy and good. sound
common sense. Been married almost
fourteen years and it only seems like

II he has not acquired too extravagant
habits, a real nice, am!able girl earning
$40 with little economy should be able
to keep a husband and make him very
comfortable and possibly contented.

Keep Him courtlns You.
To the Editor Of TIE Evening World
My opinion OF keeping a husband Is
By having everything as nice as
possible In regard 10 the home, and
then the wife ke' pinS herself as
she did when she was cour.ed An
during my married life we haven't
quarrelled or been ini!EcIent SIcN
was the Same In courtship and then
the main thing Is ,or neither side 10 BE-
jealous, and by doing this there Will
he less divorces and separations. Thls
Is a small suggestion. and the truth as
20 how 10 keep husband, and can no
done no matter how small the saIsr!
may be.

wife Ereets him with a smile At two OF
three O'Clock In the morning than II
she sco!ds him. She should let him
have his own way at times and make
him think that he Is the boss ,on!y he
isn'U. That 10 what do with mine
and l have no trouble.
MRS. H. BOLLE.
These Six Ways HCULD DO.
| To tho Editor OF the World:
Be sure you REALLY HAVE him In
the first place. Remember that there
must be two bears" In every home
bear" and "forbenr,' and generally
the wife has to do most OF both. Dcn'i
spend your time In seeking mere physi.
cal beauty OF face or hs,rs. Nine mer
out of ten care but little for this, anl
a man WORTH keeping won't expec,
a woman Of forty or ffty to have tn,
! freshness and beauty OF a girl Keet
! yourself neat, the children clean. and
make home the most attractive place
on earth-a veritable haven OF rest
for the weary man. Be more than q
mere housekeeper-b a COMRADE to
your husband. A true man cares ten
times more for . wife Of whose intel
ligsnt support and sympathy Is Ture
than he does for . mere doll.baby. Keep
out jealousy and suspicion, and above
all. DON'T NA0
