RemOdeIing Your Wife Is Some Job

He'd never heard him exclaim
ing with admiration about one
of the made.over dresses, telling
her how clever she was and en-.
couraging her to keep it up.
The girl pleased him nightly
then. But the things he lad
liked about the girl didn't appeal
to him in his wife. So he
started in to eliminate them.
1t was another of those mar
riages, you see, where one partner
sets out to make over the other.
In cases OF this kind, either OF
two things happen; the one doing
the making over succeeds and
discovers eventually that the one
made over isn't the person he
fell in love with, but a weak and
unsatisfactory echo OF himself
and of small consequence as
life partner, or he finds that as
the girl was bent so the wife will
grow, and theren be no making
over.
In either event the marriage
is more than likely to be ruined.
1t would be a very fine thing for
young folks-and not so young
ones, too-to postpone the jour-
ney to the altar long enough to
make sure the quality most ad.
