right. The check Is made out for 80
more than the bill and the girl is
given the difference. Nine times out

HOW TO RETAIN
HUBBY'S LOVE
Mrs. Robert Erskine Ely PromuIsstes
a New Theory-YousF and Beau
ty. also Uatiness.

Women should not cultivate youth
and beauty in order TO preserve their
; husbands love; they should retain
their husbands love. and By SO doing
keep their youth and beauty
The new theory of beauty culture
was promulgated by Mrs. Robert Frs.
kline Ely at the annual luncheon of
the League for Political Education.
Almost everything you read in the
magazines and papers about love and
beauty tells you TO pursue beauty If
you desire TO retain your husband s
love" said Mrs. Ely 1T makes me
wonder how woman who follows this
advice ever finds time for husband
The beauty quest as it is planned is
far too absorbing. It gives one no time
for ANYTHING else.
Z have never known a woman
whose husband was devoted TO her
who was not beautiful, in his eyes ct
least And not one of those have in
mind paid any attention to the beauty
quest Love means beauty and happi-
ness and contentment. What more
could any woman desire?"
Mrs. Ely is the interesting and at
tractive wife of Robert Erskine Ely,
head OF the Civic Forum. She is BY
birth Dutch woman, born in the far
away island of Java, and before COM
ing to this country was member of
the London coterie of wits and schol-

travagant dressing or any other mani
festation of the beauty quest would
preEerve mans love. then all fash
ionable women would keep their hus-
bands love-" said Mrs Ely But do
they? You know they do not The wo-
man that you and know who keeps
her husband in love with her is the
one who doesn't try.
Il want TO say to every woman,
don't always strive TO be beautiful 10
your husband. Dare once in while
TO look ugly to him. Brush your hair
straight hack from your forehead. You
will not look pretty, certainly, but
you will bring out all the strength in
your face. That is what your husband
married you for.
This is not just theory Mrs. Ely
explained, smilingiy. 4 practice it ~
I would never have gone camping
with my husband on our honeymoon.
A man may meet great many
pretty women, but he does not wan;
to feel when he goes home that his
wife is just exactly like them. her
hair arranged the same way, her
gown of the same fashion, her man
ner the same shallow effort TO please
He wants to feel that his wife is
something absolutely unique, utterly
different from any other woman. For
every man in his soul is a sultan
