! What Next?
By MARGUERITE MooEss MARSHALL

My younger sister is a source of thrills, bewilderment,, excitement and amusement to the rest of the family.
 At six, she wanted to be q circus lady bareback rider.
 At eight she took herself very serious ly, and wrote and dedicated a poem to herself. ~
 This was the beginning and the end of her literary ambitions.
 At ten, she was proclaimed the art ist of her school.
 But she soon learned that "Art is long and life is short"
 At eleven, she posed after school hours for famous artists, and this gave the family thrill.
 At sixteen she decided she would be an actress-secured a job-and gave the family another thrill.
 Next, she announced that she would be dancer.
 The family had visions of second Pavlowa.
 Perish the thought! She meant AC- ROBATIC DANCING.
 As result the family that lives be- low us presented a bill for broken chan deliers and busted ceilings.
 At present she is taking vocal les. sons-grand opera!
 And believe me, the house is in a grand uprOar most of the time.
 Still, our neighbors ought to be able to stand tiff we can!

her Tn luxuries, but he denies her the one thing she wants more than any thing else on earth, and that is to feel that he still loves her and that she is as necessary to him as she was in the days of courtship.i
 He never gives her kiss that isn't as flabby as a cold buckwheat cake. He never hands her. a compliment about her looks. He never voices any appreciation of her, He never mani. fests the slightest interest in her con versation. or shows that he desires her as companion. He never seems to think that she either needs or desires any amusement-or if she does, he ex. poets her to find. it for herself without dragging him along.
 In a word, millions of husbands seem to regard their wives as just a part of the household equipment, sort of elf-starting machine that automati- cally grinds out good meals and a tidy house and all the thousand and one de- tails that go to make up a comfortable home.
 And it is this impersonal attitude of  their: husbands, this failure to realize them as flesh and blood women, with a woman's highly emotional nature, with a woman's craving for love and tender ness,- that women so bitterly resent They could forgive any crime against themselves easier than that their hus- bands seem to look upon them as a. do- mestic convenience instead of the lady loves they once were..
 Women have been so busy consider ing their wrongs at the hands of indif- ferent and neglectful husbands that they have entirely overlooked the fact that they are also tarred with the same stick, and that there are just as many women who regard their husbands as cash registers, as there are husbands who regard their wives as kitchen utensils. ..-. In thousands of homes the husband IS merely the provider. To his wife he
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-02-15

represents, so far as. he can see, houses, servants, pretty clothes, jewels, cars, trips, the comforts and elegances of life and nothing more. She takes what he can give greedily, and thinks that she has made q fair return by according him a place to eat and sleep in the house for whose, upkeep he pays, and in which he is the least considered per- son in the household.
 There are myriads of women who never bestow a caress upon their hus- bands, who never give the slightest in- dicatiOn that they understand or appre- ciate all the work and sacrifices their husbands make for them; who never jolly their husbands along. or dress up for them, or try to entertain and amuse them, or take the trouble to put forth any of the little arts and wiles which every woman uses when she is trying to catch a man.
 There are unnumbered wives who never listen to anything their husbands say, who yawn over their husbands pet stories, who go away every summer and leave their husbands for weeks, and sometimes months at a time, to shift for themselves who never make the slightest effort to be companionable and chummy; who begrudge their hus- bands every penny they spend on their own pleasures, and who raise ructions every time husband takes a few hours off of an evening.
 After their first baby is born many women never see their husbands as an individual man again, with a mans need of womafl's love, woman's so- eiety, w0man's understanding and sympathy. To them their husbands are merely henceforth the childrens father. a slave to toll for the children and to be sacrificed to them.
 Yet there are just as many men hun gry-hearted as there are women. There are just as many men who long for tenderness. affection, appreciation, as there are women. Just as many men want to be told that they are still loved, that they are still admired, that they are still hearts desire to those who married them, as there are women. For men no more have their sweet tooth extracted at the altar than women do, And marriage is just as much a failure to men as it is to women, if it sinks into the slough of indifference with women to whom they are nothing but a meal ticket.
 The great majority of husbands and wives still love each other, even those who are so careless of each others happiness. Otherwise, divorce would be even more common than it is. But they do all they can to take the joy out of their relationship by taking each other for granted. And that is the curse of matrimony.
 That does not satisfy us. We want to be told every day, every hour. that those we love, love us; that they under stand us and appreciate us, are grate. ful to us. We want warm kisses on our lips. not the peck of cold lips on our ears. We want clinging hands and the knowledge that our presence is dear.
 Given these, every marriage is a success. Without them, any marriage is a failure. You can't treat a wife as a kitchen stove, or a husband as a human check book, and get away with it.

MyNeighbor Says:

The next time you need a sink brush don't buy the straight kind. Get a brush that is made on round wire. These brushes. ont wear the others several times over and are much better.
 When you make chicken soup try adding a grating of nutmeg just before serving.
 After washing handkerchiefs. let them soak over night in water ih which a bit of cream of tartar has been dissilved. This whitens them.
 One ounce of precipitated chalk. a quarter of an ounce of powdered orris root and the same quantity Of soap powder makes an excellent tooth powder. Mix the powder by passing it three times through a sieve.
 Put teaspoonful of vinegar in the water in which all potatoes are boiling just before they finish cooking. This will prevent them from turning dark.
 :, To remove marks caused by water dripping from the faucets in iavatory basins, nothing is better than powdered chalk mixed with & little liquid ammonia. An old, unused brush is an excellent thing to apply it. with.
