The Clever Won1ans Part in Her Husbands Success

II is not always the wife who stand
behind her husbands counter or shares

man Many women, distinctly fem
anime. and, to all appearances, hope
lessly unbuSineSs like, are first aids t
their busy husbands. and they seldom
or never enter the shops, offices or fac,
tories over which their husbands rule.
These are the women who play the
social game entirely in the interests oi
their husbands They are business
rather than social climbers. who win by
tact and diplomacy where the simple
worth or even scientific skill of the
husband would fail to bring quick re-
suits
This is particularly true in small cities
where acquaintance, influence, and social
or family standing count far more than
lin Nthe larger business centers. A clever
woman. blessed with the faculty of say
ing or doing the right thing at the right
minute, is like well-worded advertise
ments-bound TO win.
struggling young doctor in a small
ank conservative city found his practice
spiNIing up slowly but surely after his
marriage. and finally decided that il was
all due to the fact that the married physi-
clan was preferred to a single man. He
did not realize that his long-coveted sue
cess was largely the result of the diplo-
macy exercised by his bride.
When he went out she answered all tel
ephone calls and when a woman was at
the other end of the wire, her gentle pa
tience with the long monologue of COM
plants and symptoms soothed the pa
ticnt and resigned her to waiting until
the doctor had returned from an emer-
gency call. If she was a new patient, the
impression created by the wifes cautious,
unobtrusive interest over the phone con-
WINGED her that such nice woman must
have an excellent husband.
This little woman also had the gift of
nUtting her best foot foremost and hid
ing the Detty economies to which, as a
struggling doctors wife, she was sub
iected, Her wardrobe was slender. but
distinctly up-to-date, and she carried
her clothes with an air which gave
them a certain elegance. Her house
never looked bare. for when she found
that lace curtains were beyond her purse,
shpa made exquisite arts and crafts eff
fects with canvas appliqued. 1t was this
"air" which she gave to everything in
their little home and her personal ap-
pearance which gradually transmitted it.

Seasonable Recipes

| with thinIy sliced lemon and serve with
fried or saute potatoes.
Cod with Carrot Sauce-To every pound
of cod allow one-half tablespoonful Of
butter. Also allow a small carrot scraped
with one onion grated 10 every three
pounds of fish. Do not skin the cod, but
pack II fiat and somewhat tightly into a
pie dish. Season we'll with pepper and
salt, add the butter broken up small and
scatter the grated onion and carrot over
all. Tie down over the pie dish a piece
of thick paper and bake from twenty to
thirty minutes in a fairly hot oven, ac-
cording to the amount of fish. When
done, take the cod out of the dish and
add one tablespoonful of -four mixed with
two or three tablespoonfuls Of milk to the
liquid that will be found in the dish. Let
the sauce boil, stirring all the time. Pour
II over the ish and serve.
A Delicious Sauce for String Beans
Boil two pounds OF young beans which
have not been cut in the usual way, but
left whole. after the strings have been
removed, until they are quite tender.
Drain them carefully and put them in a
stewpan containing a sauce prepared ac-
cording to'the directions given below. For
the sauce, rub a stewpan over with a
new onion and then cook two tablespoon
fuls of -four in II until a smooth paste Is
formed. Then add gradually half pint
of cream or rich milk, and stir Until the
sauce has boiled and thickened. Season
with salt, pepper. sugar. and nutmeg,
and add a few drops of vinegar.

a mutual friend:
''Oh, yes; l saw Jones several times
| Dined twice with him at the Astor.
Funny. but he never seems to take
any one home. Wonder what is wrong
with his wife,"
The world is full of women like Mrs.
Jones. who considers time spent on her
husbands business friends a waste, pure
and simple. If the money and exeTtion
were to be expended on Mrs Money
belt, whose invitations are the badge of
the truly elect, there might be some use
in getting up a smart little dinner. but
for man from the wild and woolly West
why?
she might realize that such men as her
husband wished to entertain were the
means which in time might place her
on a financial level with the Money
belts. Many a deal has been coaxed to
a successful issue by a perfectly served
dinner. over which presided a tactful
hostess.
Not once during the meal has the mat
ter uppermost in the minds OF host and
hostess been broached, but the woman
has played a lone hand of tactfuI charm.
The guest has departed in a glow OF
friendly feeling. and the next morning
with thoughts Of business, has come the
conviction that these people were well
worth putting in line for something bet

lect such a clever wife. would not make
many errors in business
On the other hand, the fussy wife
who shows the guest how anxious she
is to please him, or the cold Indifferent
woman who entertains because her hus-
band insists, sends the guest forth feel
ing that the husband of such a woman
must go through life with a handicap
that forever cuts OF chance of sue

The woman who can make herself
indispensable to her husband as his
social mentor and co-entertainer has
many pleasures which the less tactful
sisters miss. There lives in New York
a charming young matron who believes
this creed. During the winter she
gives her husbands out-of-town
