 Washingt Oct. 5. - When you come home from the office or shop at night make your wife happy by turning a little handspring or doing a Will Rogers monologue.
 Every husband should be a vaude- vile show to his wife, according to W. L. George, the English author and feminist.
 The du1ness of married life, he de- clared recently, was the chief cause of the failure of marriage and called on husbands to be more entertain ing.
 'It is the men who have made a mess of marriage he said. s'The women have done their job we'll
 ''The trouble is men do not accept enough from women. The average husband expects no more from his wife than that she look attractive, keep the house clean and cook a de- lectable meal. He should take her into partnership. She should share his interests and ideas.

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
THE CHAPERoNE QUESTION.
By Beatrice Fairfax

Dear Miss Fairfax:
 I am seventeen and planning to go away for two weeks to the noun tains with six other girls of eighteen and nineteen. My mother objected to my going with them, as she says we would need an older girl as chaperone.
 I think just the opposite, as I care of ourselves.
 My mother has agreed to accept your opinion on the matter.
 PEGGY.
 I'm sure you don't "need' a chap erone. But what is the use of defy ing public opinion even when it's stu pid? To find a congenial older girl won't be hard. You will often find her very useful when difficulties come up and folks stupidly try to take advantage of youth and inex- perience. And what have you to gain by arousing criticism and antagonism all through neglecting a situation you'll only be the happier for deal- The chaperone is a mighty useful adjunct to groups like yours. Too Much s.Makeup" Dear Miss Fairfax: Kindly advise me as to what to do in the following case: While spending my vacation up in the mountains, I met a very nice wound lady whom 1 have learned to love dearly.
 Upon return from my vacation was invited to the girls home and met her parents. My people wanted to see the young lady and after inviting her to the house they object to my going about with her because she uses too much makeup. If you love this girl enough to think of marrying her, aren't you close enough to her to discuss such a thing as rouge and lip sticks Don't be rude or make her feel cheap-but give her to understand that you hate to see her looking less fine and sweet than you know her to be.
