What to DO
BY CYNTHIA
Another Girl Wrlteo to Them

TUOt1ST SITl "I'NSo w 'HO'
Dear Cynthia-IIavlng read in your
column the conceIt OF the two handsome
young men (good looking and hand
some), l am forced to say that these
two are fine comedy.
Dear boys, you're missing an oppor-
tunlty OF lifetime by not taking a
position with some beauty parlor or
vanity salon. If conceit was consump-
tion. you boys would be dead n long
time. l would not only suggest but
advise you to take good hold on your
vanity cases for fear you will lose them
Two men of your age and talking
about yourselves as you have! Wei,
there is something loose. ! wouldn't
think II OF the male sex. In going into
details, l would say that I have met
many good-looking men, but they never
let the town know Il.
Hoping to have the pleasure Of meet
ing you two gentlemen some time, and
also hoping you don't mislnv your
powder puff, but lay Off the Conceit and
make the world safe for manhood, the
stuff that is needed nation wide.

1t Takes Very Unusual Girl
To Be Her Mother n-LatO's Boarder
There Is Bound Be Some Friction When Man Takes HI
Wife Home to Live With His Mother-Sepmate
Homes Are Better

before his marriage, when things are
arranged that way.
A MAN never realizes what diff
n cult situation he is making when
he brings his wife to his own homo to
live.
No matter how sweet his wife. no
matter how sensible and broad minded
his mother. there is almost sure to be
some friction.
A boys mother thinks there is no one
closer to him than his mother.
A mans wife thinks there Is no one
closer to him than his wife. .
a difference of opinion arises, and
instantly all the instructive, involun-
tary resentment of the others intrusion
that each one has kept. carefully hid
den comes uppermost.
It's inevitable.
Some Of the very incest friendships
between daughter in law and mother
in law have been broken ifremedably by
the insistence of the husband and son
on bringing his bride into his own home.
II is the greatest mistake that he can
make. If he cannot provide separate
home for her 1t would be much better
TO wait and save while longer until
he can take her to their own home.
TyHERE she can cook potatoes with
l. their jackets on II she wants to !;
there she can have silly little dust
catching shields for her telephone II she
wants to; there she can have dinner
in the middle Of the day instead OF at
night if she wants to. and there she can
have dim shaded candles on her dining
room table II she wants to without caus-
ing any talk at all.
And from there she can go TO sec her
mother in-law. become great friends
with her, and establish deep and last
ing affection that will do them both
good.
Why can't husbands understand that?
