Through a
Woman's Eyes
BY JEAN NEWTON
4 Matter Of Foundations

The divorce mill grinds on. and In
the srist we find much that is intrigu.
ing.
A recent prominent case in Califor-
mia. for instance. produced anew the
old question. "Must a wife continue to
attract other men in order to hold her
husbands INTEREST,"
The husband in this case thought in
the affirmative and is said to have in
structed his wife when he married her
as follows:
"Only that is desirable which must
be striven after.
Therefore. shall continue to love
you only as long as other men desire
you.
80 firt all you can and keep your
self attractive. so that other men will
hang about you like moths about .
flame.
However. keep yourself above re.
proach 1t will not hurt the moths II
their wings are singed.'
And because I truly loved him and
wished to hold his affection" his wife
tried to live up to this theory. flirting
without restraint until the moths were
buzzing in hocks around the flames she
provided.
OF course. people began to talk. But
her husband. knowing the harmlessness
Of it all was not jealous. At least he
did not say he was.
But he did begin to quarrel with her
on the slightest pretext. And after q
while he left her. Now he admits it
was his wife's flirting that ruined their
happiness.
And another marriage is on the rocks,
wrecked through a rotten foundation.
For the question, Must q wife
flirt:' resolves itself into a matter Of
foundations.
If wife must keep flirting to hold
her husbands interest there is not muc'
that is worth holding or that will ma
a solid foundation for the marital STIR
ture.
In that case. whether she flirts
whether she does not firt, the marriage
will turn out probably in the same way.
1t is not ITO flirt or not TO firt"--
it is the matter Of foundations that
wrecked this union and that makes or
breaks nine out of ten Of all others.

Car, You Tell?
Why We Contract Our Eye Muscles
When We Cough
BIZ r. J. and A. W. Bodmer

We always contract the muscles
even slight spell Of coughing. This
is a wise provision OF nature TO pro.
tcct the eyes from the excessive blood
pressure. Coughing causes the blood to
Cow more freely to all parts of the head
nd the pressure Of the blood in the
Arteries and veins is increased so
jgreatly that II these eye muscles did
not contract there would be serious
danger Of ruptured vein or artery.
Our eyelids close also when the sur.
face Of the eye is touched This is an
other OF natures methods of protecting
the eyes. This movement Is not, now
ever caused by the action of the nerves,
but is the result Of the action Of the
brain on what appears to be threaten
ing danger. Movements Of this kind can
sometimes be prevented if our brain
tells us that there is no actual danger
at hand. For instance. il blow is
struck at us when the striking hand is
80 far away that il could not possibly
reach us. the eyes do not close. This
is not true. however. in all cases, for
if you go to tn" zoo and stand with
YOUR face 10 glass case filled with
snakes. a far different result may occur.
You are fully aware Of the fact that
the snakes cannot reach you. the glass
being a certain protection. In spite Of
this knowledge. however, IL one of the
snakes strikes at you. you will jump
lack quickly. and probably as far as
possible. Your will and your reason
are in this instance powerless against
the seeming danger. This occurs be-
cause your imagination is dealing with
danger YOU have never before ex.
perienced.

Consequence

QAND realized the minute he had
Az rung of that he had acted on i'm
pulse. He had never voluntarily in.
vited any one to the studio. knowing
that Judy did not care for the people he
liked. Then what would she say when
he told her that he had invited a woman .
and the very woman she had been so
furiously jealous Of when he had men
toned the tea invitation?
Another thought smote him at the
same time.
Judy did not know that he had gone
to the tea after all. He had never told
her, and to tell her now after it was
all over. would put the whole thing in
clandestine light.
Is, At that moment Judy came in, her
Arms full of bundles. She went direct
ly to the kitchenette and he could hear
her unwrapping her packages out there.
When she came into the studio q few
moments later she had tied an apron
around her waist, and without looking
in his direction, she began to make
preparations for dinner.
Rand watched her from his corner az
she worked. There was the spreading
Of the cloth on the folding table. the
placing of the silver and Judy was as
absorbed in these simple household tasks
as II her very life depended on it.
Finally Rand spoke and he tried to
make his voice sound casual.
20, Judy. I've invited friend to
tea here tomorrow afternoon. some one

She looked up with quick suspicion,
and her face did not tighten.
WHO is it,
''NIiss Young. Carlotta Young, the
writer" He went on speaking quickly.

to come here and pose without having

II have no desire to meet her. There
Is no reason why should treat her any
differently than do your other models
Her lips curled scornfully and her eyes
were defiant.
Rand was on his feet in an instant,
and was coming toward her. and she
shrank back from the anger in his voice
when he spoke.
'"There is every reason whv you
should treat her differently. and 7 must
insist that you treat any friend of mine

"And if ! don't want TO meet your
friends. suppose 7 can do as like
about it," Judy famed suddenly.
Not il we continue 70 live together. -
The words We're ont almost before Rand
realized what he was saying, and Judys
face went suddenly white.
Rand she said almost in whis-
TER, "Rand. what do you mean"
Never in all their nualreling had things
gone so far as this. and in a minute
her anger was engulfcd in panic OF
fear.

They stood facing each other. two
angry young things. with a chasn Of
misunderstanding yawning between
them. and Judy looking into Randi eyes
knew that he meant what he said. There
WAS nothing else to do but surrender
unless she wished 10 lose him altogether
and Judy was too fearful of the future
to try him any further just now

Shad, or other large fish, is often
served ''planked" that is. roasted,

ranged around it in a sort Of rose -border

The planked fish Is then placed before

and YOU may Judge for yourself whether
or not her trip was a successful one.
There is the brass cigarette box, which
would be so nice for the living room

somewhat like hatbOx, and with n
hinged lid 1t will hold. / should say,

Dear Cynthia--Is young lady con-

hair? Do boys like It? have II, but
It's very curly and long. Also. can you
tell me II a girl and fellow that keep
company tell In fun their friends that
they are married. can they ever claim
each other? We have often done this In
kidding our friends. and now my boy
friend tells me he can claim me as his
wife. Isn't this nonsense?
My friend also tells me that I am an
old maid because I won't go out to
shows and dances every night and rather
stay at home am regular home
body: and enjoy being there rather than
dancing. NJ. b.
Flapper is usually applied to the
young girl Of sixteen or, seventeen. II
was used originally in England. and
many contend it is symbolical OF the
girl standing on the brink Of life; e. Ike IKE

vampish meaning to 1t, either.

taken in earnest. The boy Is only teas
