We Women
In Quest Of Sir Galahad

In quest Of Sir Galahad ENOR SOME months past have been M writing a series of articles on how the wives of prominent and successful men all over the country have helped them scale the ladder of fame and fortune.
 The following letter is written me by a Buffalo woman. She prefaces her letter with the advice: "When wives are certain their husbands are not giv- ing them a square deal, don't nag them. Write about them"
 "I have read with deep interest your articles on How My Wife Has Helped Me- These men have surely said nice things about their wives, but tell me these men-they also go on record as having said to those same wonder full wives anything like this ] "'Here, darling! You have been my backbone and inspiration during all these trying years. Take half of my money. Go spend it. Do anything you like and God be with you"
 Did they? Or have you faithfully put dwon all they have said? Of course you have. I have noticed that men are perfectly willing to go fifty fifty with their wives in everything but their pocketbooks and automobiles.
 "Kind words of thank you have al- ways been good enough for we women. So good, in fact, that they are used most sparingly in order that we will continue to gratefully appreciate them. Those very words are even reserved for print, l see, so as to make a still greater impression"
 "But words of thank you are not enough for men. When my husband has been especially nice to me, he con- fidently expects to find his pet choco-. late cake in the cake-bex, hot gems for breakfast and dinner, his favorite salads for a week or more. If he does not find all these things, not only sense my gracious word of thank you is not enough. I am told about it."
 My correspondent is intelligent with her observations of men. They have long used as an excuse that they were too busy with the affairs of state and earning of livelihood to waste time on the little niceties and polite courtesies so dear to the heart of the average woman.
 We women owe history a grudge. When Sir Walter Raleigh laid his rich coat in the mud to save the slippers of Queen Elizabeth he was subjected to so much ignominious ridicule that no. man has dared to do it since.
 Men are naturally shy of publicity. They would hate to be pointed out as a curiosity-a man who was polite to his wife.

Home Nursing
Camping Precautions

"HE Owls were going camping.
 The Owls were an exclusive little
 club, the most exclusive in Films vile, composed of junior high school girls, who had elected to call them selves Owls because they were pleased to consider themselves wise-in wood lore, at least.
 So, school being at an end, the Owls congregated breathlessly in the attic of Jenny Norths house.
 There were hiking outfits to be de cided upon, and plans for incidentals such as lighting, rainy days, firewood and food supplies. Most of the first hour was devoted to writing lists and destroying them. Finally all was set tied about provisions, clothing and problems of the weather, and North, whose father was a doctor, said, slam ming her notebook shut, Now that settles everything, doesn't it?'
 Everything except first-aid equip- ment," said Jenny's mother, who had arrived on the scene with a plate of fudge and some cookies.
 First aid? We don't need any first aid" blinked Jenny. As a matter of fact, the Owls had overlooked the possi- bility of accidents entirely.
 But supposing a bee stung you, dear. What would you do? A bee sting would be just as painful away off in the woods as at home, and you know what fuss you made last week when a humble bee stung your finger" Mrs. North sat down and reached for pencil.
 But it was terribly painful, moth- er!' protested Jenny. What did you do for it? I know it stopped the pain"
 T removed the sting and bathed your finger in a weak solution of ammonia water, don't you remember, to neutral ize the acid" said her mother.
 "Acid?" chorused the Owls.
 ''The poison of the majority of in sects, such as bees and wasps," said Mrs. North, consists largely of formic acid. So one uses an alkai to neutral ize this, or counteract the irritation. Bees leave the barbed end of their sting in a wound, too. It must be removed to stop the pain. A cool com press of ammonia water (diluted) or baking soda and water should be ap- piled after the sting is removed"
 II never knew why bee stings hurt so" said Florence, in surprise. T ex- pect we had better take some ammonia or baking soda along, then"
 I'll make out a list," said Mrs. North, Nand you girls can take it home for your mothers approval. Then you can pack little suitcase or bag with all your first aid equipment, and it will be ready for instant use, though, of course, I'm hoping the Owls will be too wise to need any first aid while they are away at camp"
 The list, which might be safely used by any camper with notifications or additions as desired, was as follows:
 Aromatic spirits of ammonia (with rubber cork) small bottle.
 Carbolized vaseline for cuts and bruises.
 Oil of cloves, labeled poison, in case of toothache.
 Iodine, with toothpicks and cotton wool for applicators. To apply to slight scratches or injuries to the skin.
 Soda mint tablets and small bottle of essence of peppermint in case of indigestion.
 Scissors, safety pins, needles and thread, old muslin, and cotton band ages; also package of sealed, steri

Answer |:

AuSNeEs
 I would like to shake hands with you, John. You are a man after my own heart, because l am like you. I never have been able to see what there so attractive to men in that Patient Griselda stuff. should think that the meek wife, who had no mind of her own what ever, and who let everybody else do her thinking for her, and tell her where to get on, and where to get off, would bore her husband to tears.
 My ideal woman is like yours-a pep py lady, who is full of ginger, who is alive to her finger tips, who is electric and simply seething with energy. She is the kind of a woman who is a go- getter and who is always right behind her husband. pushing him along, mak- ing a place for him and the children.
 That is the type of wife who is real helpmate. "She took the chances I wouldn't and I followed your mother blind," says the dying old captain in Kipling's poem, tell ing/his son how he piled up his millions.
 But, of course, on the other hand you must bear in mind that the ambi- tious, determined, independent woman isn't nearly such soothing companion to live with as the meek, little mouse who has been under mothers thumb al of her life. The girl who has had hel spirit thoroughly broken, who is accus toned to giving in and deferring tc other peoples wishes, probably will think that you are an oracle and never dream of such a thing as disputing your august authority. So there may be cancellations in the situation after all.
 And, of course, after marriage she may change. There are few women as much afraid of their husbands as they are of their moth CTS.
 Dear Miss Dix: I have been mar ried a little over a year and am just beginning to understand my husband He has expensive tastes and little money. He will go out with the bunch and have a good time tonight, even if he has to go hungry tomorrow.
 For example, I needed some shoes and his crowd wanted us to go to a roadhouse with them, and he asked me which would rather do, have the shoes or be a good sport, and he was quite disgusted with me when I said I would rather have the shoes. He wastes all of our money on good times, so that we have none for the comforts of life Otherwise, he is kind and of loving dis. position, but I can't live on love and being a good sport What shall I do?

ories would be just as beautiful even if she had to work hard and deny her self everything that is conducive to ease and pleasure. Which is right, the man or the girl? NINETEEN.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-19

Answer:
 The most difficult task that any wife ever undertakes is to sew up the holes in wasteful husbands pocket. Why any man, who has intelligence enough to be out of the Home for the Incurably Weak Minded, can want to blow in his money for food and drink for a grasping, graftfng crowd of ne'er- do-wells, for that is the way the bunch always sizes up, nobody knows. But there are plenty of men who do and who are just like your husband, Inez.
 They will spend a weeks or a months salary on a couple of hours spree. They will invite a crowd for dinner and owe the grocer. They will buy drinks for rounders, while the baby needs milk. They are willing for their families to starve, if only they can be called good sports" in public
 A wife can do nothing toward getting ahead when she has hus- band of this sort. She cannot stem the tide of his wastefulness. What she saves through months of pinch Ing eCOnOullCSs Ile VIII IuiOW away in five minutes. And the worst of it is that if she tries to restrain him too much she alienates him from her. He will not stand for her continual thrift campaign.
 The only thing you can do is to save your own money and by tact and diplomacy try to make him see that the good sport is always a bad ender, who finishes his days in the poorhouse.
