But She Also Adpises Hubby
{ To Test WDey Same Way
As a Cure that Neuer Fails

and keep the gilt on the ginger
bread of matrimony.
! In reality, every woman knows
this from her own experience. She
I knows that when she starts forth
on her summer vacation, the man
she leaves standing on the platform
looks like pretty poor fish to her.
She observes his every defect-that
/ he slouches as he walks, that he's
getting bald-headed and bay-win-
dowed, and she remembers that he
IS fussy about what he eats, and
given to telling the same story over
again. After she has been away
a week OF two her mental picture
of him begins to brighten. She re-
calls how hard he works for her
! and the children, how generous AMI
/ kind he is, what a classical nose he
| has, and she begins to brag about
I him TO the other woman, and by
the time she gets back in the FalL
the man who is waiting for her
at the station could take the beauty
| prize in any show If she was hand
| ing out the blue ribbon,
And the man has exactly the
same reaction towards his wife and
| children. He, too, had been won
| derinG which one of the fifty-seven
| varieties of fools he had been when
1 he let himself into a life of domes-
tic slavery, but the absent treat
ment has cured his case of spleen,
and as he takes his wife and chill
dren into his arms, his letters are
no longers iron. but gold.
Why, it's absent treatment that
enables US to speak only good OF
the dead. Why, you even love
your in-laws after they are tucked
/ Sway in the cemetery. A woman
who has fretted her very life Our

/ law was always shopping around
+ spying into the garbage can, and
/ asking what everything cost, and
! interfering with the way she raised
| the children, will sit up and tell
| you what 4 good, kind. noble ola
woman her mother-ln-iaw was, and
/ how devoted she was TO the baby,
! and how helpful around the house,
/ once the old lady is dead.
Why not get this slant on the,
people who get on our nerves while
I they are still living? It's easy
enough to do. We've only to get

let absent treatment get in IT'S
great and perfect work en- the
nerves that have been fretted raw
| It's only when we are too close to
( people that we see all of their little
! imperfeCtions and peculiarities.
When we are far away We get the
broad view that takes in their good

And oh. my sisters. I urge you TO
try the absent treatment on your
work, whether il be houscwork. or
some trade or profession. There
comes a time in our life when We
loathc the thing we have to do. and
feel that we will die If we have

and smash OUR gas stove or desk.
and choke our children or employer
to be rid of them.
There is just one thing that will
save US in this criCis. Take the
absent treatment. Go away. and
stay away, until your home looks
to you like a paradise on earth.
and your desk calls to you with a

Try the absent treatment on all
your worries. It's the one SOW
