AS INC Il Wig Is Dent.
1t GIT seem that the last word
has been said on the subject of train.
ing husbands to be tfactable domestic
pets. Dorothy Somebody, Winifred
Somebody and coterie Of other
writer's from time to time have been
heard on this prolific subject. In this
merry month of June, the heyday OF
the jung bride, it may not be amiss
to Offer, few words OF advice to
these kitchen novitiates.
7 1t is the wont of the skifted side
of the newlywed couple to embark
with the thought>that when she has
landed her quarry there is nothing
more to do but to buy frying pan,
coffee pot, White House cook book
and hop to it.
The wise bride just entering upon
the profession of wifehood holds the
whiphand, but she does not always
know it. If she starts out on the
clineing,ivy plan of action, she may
expect to be treated accordingly; but
if she cracks the whip now and then,
she will be able to make hubby hold
out his paw, bark, bring a stick in
his mouth and do many little stunts
like any good doggie. Women are
adept animal trainers. The best lion
and leopard trainers in the world are
women. The trouble is that so many
OF these June brides know so little
about training husbands. They have
taken domestic science courses; know
dietetic values, balanced ration and
such matters, but what they do not
know about husbands would fill
large book.
The successful June bride will make
a diagnosis of her case; make a sur,
vey, as it were. 1t is popular these
days to make survey of any under
taking. Why shouldn't the new bride
make a survey of her husband? Why
shouldn't she have some plan to work
to? If her liege lord begins to COM
pare her cooking with that of his
mothers, that is an omipous sign,

Gates cloudy and stormy" The first
time hubby holds up a specimen of
his brides cooking and roars out,
This is not like. mother used to
cook!' then is the time to dehorn
him. But the bride should use tact.
Don't tear down the chandelier orr
throw dishes; just use tact. A few
well-chosen words, properly aimed,
will reach the mark and will serve
better than fusilade Of invectives.
A man will listen to reason, but will
retire under curtain-hre of words,
by grabbing his hat and going down
town to have game of Kelly pool
or pinochle with his friends.
The June bride should not place her
husbands slippers as far, as she can
push them under his DRESSER, unless,
