Aoerage Man Is Not So Keen About
Eating That Good Meal viii Win Him
BY w1NNrFREp HARPER COOLEY

wholly ignorant Of the human heart
realizes that thousand sorrows and
heartaches and irritations 60 to make
up unhappiness in marriage. Actual
statistics in all States show that by far
the greater proportion Of divorces are
sought by the wife. How. then. could
her bad cooking be the cause?
sist that steaks and chops are hot
enough for husbands--t yearn for
pastry and cream sauces.
How many men really long for sweets
and fancy concoctions! Go into q
restaurant and you see all of the girls
eating pastry and salads and indigestible
ice cream and sirup concoctions. while
the men are enjoying a hot roast beet
sandwich or big order of ronst pork,
Men usually choose far more sensible
and plain edibles than do women.
Of course. we do not mean that wives
should be careless and Indifferent in
catering, marketing. serving and cook
ing. 1t is well known that French
family could almost live on the waste
foods that American housekeepers throw
into the garbage cans.
Nor do we condone the irresponsible.
inefficient wife who plays cards al!
afternoon. and then buys a few cold and
sour products Of the delicatessen for the
evening meal. Undoubtedly. a hungry
man would be dissatisfied.
But what we contend is that. given
n practical, able housekecper, 1t is not
OF moment that she spend hours and
worry necessarily over the preparation
of elaborate meals, as il eating
gormandizing-were a sacred rite The
tendency Of modern science has been to
show that simple foods. II selected with
regard to nutritive values. are far better
than "fussy" ones. The husband who
realizes that his wife is incompetent
and cxtravagant has right to feel irri.
tated. but that involves character. and
is not merely matter Of being fed.
From lifetime of observation we
honestly believe that feeding men has
not the sacred Importance ascribed to
it; but that amiabiity and gracious
ness and many other virtues go to make
mp satisfactory wife. and a husband
who leaves home has some reason
other than being hungry.

They weren't unhappy because OF

and pushing her daughter into quick

This has happened so often, and just
recently I have heard Of number OF
these hasty decisions that have turned
out disastrously.
These ambitious mothers instill into
their daughters great desire to be the
first girl in their own special crowd
That cleaning diamond on the third
finger of the left hand is as Turing and
as dangerous a goal as the gold mines
of 40.
It leads girls heedlessly forward, with
no thought of any future or any consc.
quences beyond getting that ring on that
finger.
and that a married life with that man
is supposed to follow, does not seem to
enter the heads of the girls who have
made the conquest, and the mothers who
have pushed them forward to it.
The idea is just to get engaged. get
married-entirely for the sake Of the
appearance Of the thing to others.

haphazard engagements have a sequel
Of disillusion. and the usual bitterness:

A broken engagement, readjustment
